High electric kicks

1. Lately, it seems like I'm flipping light switches on and off with my foot at least as often as with my hand. Should I keep going with that or try to tame my natural impulse?
2. I feel better now than at the writing of my last post. I can't think of anything I have in common with the guy from Sheltering Sky, thank god.
3. I have really seen very few South Park episodes, but I watched one tonight about the band Timmy and Phil Collins. It was a good one. Anyway, I always thought (back in the day, when it was an actual thing to think about) that Phil Collins was the antichrist, except since I don't believe in an antichrist (or a christ, for that matter), I guess that's not the right comparison. He's something really bad that I believe exists. Basically, he's for people who don't like music. Many years ago, when we lived on S. Division St. in Ann Arbor, Chris made me a Phil Collins puppet, to either torture me or give me a chance to act out my angst toward Phil Collins; I don't remember which. I do remember that I took the puppet around with me one day in my bag, took it out at a coffee shop to show someone, and must have left it behind. Which is so sad, but it's also great to think of someone finding it and maybe even loving it.
4. I also watched the Simpson's episode where the Flanders family moves to the town where those Hummel figurines are made.
5. And I watched the movie Hard Candy and am trying very hard to forget all about it now.
6. Watching TV is a good thing to do when you're sick.
