A Day
For the last 2 weeks, I’ve opened up MS Word and stared at a blank document wondering what to say about…….anything.
For the last 2 weeks, I haven’t had anything to say about ………anything.
So, instead of just letting the days go by without updating, I’ll just start talking about what I did today.
I woke up this morning at 7:30 after staying up until 4am playing Call of Duty 4 on the PC. We took Z to a Dr. appointment at 9am, which lasted until 9:50.
After that, I went to work. So far I’ve applied a software update, helped move some office furniture around, got a list of necessary files together for a company that we’re outsourcing some work to.
For lunch today, I met up with an old friend from high school. He was a half-hour late because he got stuck in a meeting. I had a calzone with bacon.
While I was waiting for him to arrive, I came up with a list of the books I’d like to read: Lord of the Flies, The Outsiders, Hound of the Baskervilles, A Christmas Carol, Stranger in a Strange Land, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, Peter Pan, Robinson Crusoe, all the Harry Potter books again, Gone Baby Gone, Sissy Nation, The Lord of the Rings saga, The Italian Secretary, Guns of the South, Time and Again, From Time to Time, The Forge of God, Darwin’s Radio, I Robot, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Childhood’s End, Timescape, Contact, The Exorcist, and A Separate Peace (cuz I never read it in high school).
After lunch, I installed some programs a girl here at work needed onto a laptop.
Later tonight Z has baseball practice. I don’t know if we’re going to go since it is spring break and there may only be a few people there. If we don’t go, the family and I are going to the mall. My wife wants to stop at the Franklin-Covey store for some stuff.
The Big Bang Theory is on tonight and I hope to be able to watch I Am Legend…the alternate version with (in my humble vacuous opinion) the better ending, instead of that stupid ending that was in the theatrical release. I’m also going to enter my Coke Rewards Codes into my account at mycokerewards.com. I’ve got about 40 that have been sitting around waiting for me to do just that.
Later.

Oooh, A Separate Peace! I did a book report on that in high school. It was the only time I'd read a book for a report that I had actually enjoyed.
I have a list of books in my day runner, and I've added most of your list to mine. Thanks!

ok...i was reading through your day...coming up with an applicable comment...until your last two sentences...and now i just have to say that this cracks me up. lemme tell you why. those last two sentences involve a program that keeps me at the level of luxury (ha!) i currently enjoy. i work on that account. a slave to it, in fact. why that's funny is my first thought upon reading the last sentence was:
'i hope he knows that he can only enter ten codes a day.'
i need another vacation.

Good books there, I have read quite a few of them. Totally forgot about A Seperate Peace until I read this! Time for a re-read!
