(no subject)
Dec. 21st, 2006 11:31 amI'm tired because I stayed up until nearly two in the morning, despite my good intentions. Then I woke up at 7:20 in the morning because of the tremendous racket caused by the upstairs neighbors. It sounded like someone was running back and forth across the length of the apartment and then jumping around all over above my head. I wish they would move away.
It's slow at work, and I so don't want to be here. I can think of much more fun things to be doing.
The sky this morning was rippled and patterned in gorgeous shade of silver, blue, grey and white. I've not ever seen it quite like that before. To the east, the sun hung down in translucent golden panels. Really beautiful.

The last name I currently used is my married name. I didn't change it back after the divorce for a lot of reasons and one of them was vanity. I love this name. It suits me. I love to roll the Slavic vowels out, and I like to be able to introduce myself in Czech or Russian with a reasonable sounding name. It was my joke for awhile that I got married only to get that name. I can't figure out if it is more or less funny these days.
At some point in the future, I'll probably change it. It is a little strange to go on and on with a family name that belonged to someone I can't deal with anymore and represents a life that is not mine now. There's no going back to my maiden name, because I'm not that person at all anymore so it feels unwieldy to do so. So another name may be needed in the future.
I think if I were to change my name, just on my own, that I would like to do for something very serious and real to me. I'd take the name of someone who has influenced my world, like one of my favorite Czech authors or even my professor Hana. I'd like something like that. Having gone through the tedious process of changing my name once before, I'm better equipped for a second go round through the bureaucracy.
(No, I'm not going to change my name to Dostoevsky no matter how tempting.)

I think I'm going to start signing my name this way.
not coming down with anything
Dec. 21st, 2006 06:19 pmMy throat is scratchy, and my head aches. In general I feel less than good. I hope I am not coming down with something due to late nights running around in the cold and damp. I have been taking my vitamins! Eating Grape-Nuts for breakfast! Well, I put some sugar on the cereal but still. I don't want to be sick for Christmas. Every time I move my head in the slightest, it throbs.
