One Year Ago


 

    I haven't left the house at all today.  I stepped out onto the stoop to check the weather for a few seconds, but besides thatI haven't left the house.  It's been a pretty miserable day. I feel like shit, and I can feel myself getting sort of sick.  I haven't gottne anything done. There's still one more paper that needs to be finished before my semester is over.  But I just didn't feel like it today. I slept woderfully and comfortably till about 2:30.  I took a shower, ate, did some dishes, and that's about all I've done today.  I spoke with PFC Kathy for a bit on the phone, and she was also having a miserable day. Jed came home from work, and went do there to "take care" of her.  I guess things are moving nicely along for those two kids.  So I've been sitting around by myself, alternately watching TV, playing the guitar, talking on the phone, and eating.

    I also started reading Tuesday's With Morrie, the book Rodzilla sent me.  She said it really summed up a lot of stuff for her.  It's a small book, and so far a quick read, so I thought I'd just take a coupla hours to see what all the hubbub was about. So far the thing that please me most is that the author, Mitch Albom, got his MA in journalism. That may be the first time I've read something by an author we actually went to graduate school for journalism.  So that made me feel a bit better.  Anyway, so far it's largely about death, and the way we spend our time while alive.  Maybe it's just what I need to read.  I could use a good kick in the kiester.

    OK, the UPN 9 News just ran a commercial for a segment on new video games.  It's tag line was "...And how dangerous are they for children?"  I really, really hate local news.  TV news in general.  It's so very, very dumb.  I can't stand it any more more.

    Well, I suppose I should hurry up and end my second semester of grad school.
