Humble Tidbits of Vacuity

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.

I’m not a fan of the time change. This past weekend, we entered “Daylight Saving Time.” For those who don’t know what that is, that’s the time of year when we move our clocks ahead 1 hour. Ostensibly, this is done to save energy. More daylight means less use of electricity. Or so they hope. In the fall, we will set our clocks back 1 hour. This is done…..well, I don’t know WHY it’s done. I think the whole thing is ridiculous. I’m all for more daylight, so why don’t we just keep it this way from now on?

Anyway, as I get older these time changes really fuck with my internal clock. It never used to be that way. Sure, there was an adjustment period for the first day or two. But anymore, it takes me a week or so to internally come to grips with the new time. And that really doesn’t make sense to me. I typically get 3-4 hours of sleep each night. There’s no reason for me to become overtired because of this.
