Yet another day, yet another blog. It’s been a nice lazy Sunday, I just wish I didn’t have to wake up so early. If only I could sleep in until 10ish, then the day would have been absolutely perfect. I spent the afternoon reading ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘A Guide to SQL’ (See, Robert, I’ve been behaving! I said I’d read it.), and ‘The Baked Bean Saga.’ The last is a story a friend of mine wrote a long time ago but I never got to finish reading it. He and I just reconnected after about a year or so of incommunicado, so for the sentimental value of it all he uploaded his old web page from way back in 1996, when we first met. On it was a copy of the story I always meant to read but lost the link to and therefore never got to finish it. Despite having nothing to do with baked beans, it’s a great story and I had a great time laughing my head off. It’d make one dang funny cartoon.
I’m sorry about that teasing blog last night – I realized as I was laying awake at 2:30am that I really can’t tell you everything that made yesterday so wonderful because it’s a rather sensitive situation. (Don’t worry, Kevin, it has absolutely nothing to do with a boy.) I’ll have to retain an air of mystery and say all will be revealed in due course. (Haha, I’ve always wanted to say that.)
But, I can tell you some things. More nice emails, a nice relaxing afternoon spent at a bookstore buying a english-german/german-english dictionary (I have to learn German so I figured that’d be the best way since I already understand basic German grammar, etc), and then I went to Lowe’s and Home Depot collecting paint chips and bookletts for my design class. I’m making a whole decorating kit for each of the girls – it’s really going overboard and they’ll probably just throw it all away, but you never know. One little booklett may inspire one of them, and that’ll be good enough for me. But I forgot how many girls there will be so I need to go back and get more! I hope Home Depot doesn’t throw me out for stealing all the bookletts…
And now it’s early in the evening (for me anyway), I keep looking at my email count hoping it’ll turn from 34 to 35 (waiting for emails from people cause I’m bored and I like hearing from them), and I know I should be doing something constructive but I think I’m in sugar-shock. I’ve had too many brownies today and my brain is just dead. That, and I’ve read too much so my head is full of confusing stories about relational databases programmed by Frodo Baggins which is being chased by a small furry ewok-like creature with a North London accent. My mind’s a fiction (and part non-fiction) mess! 🙂
I think I’ll sit back, talk to Chris, play a little solitaire, and convince myself that it’s okay to be totally lazy on a Sunday evening. That’s what they were made for, after all, and I’d better enjoy it while I have it.
