Yesterday was one of them looooong days... didn't get to sleep until about 20:30. Yeah, I went in and lay down shortly after uploading yesterday, but I couldn't sleep... so I finished reading the book that I had in the bedroom to put me to sleep... and I still couldn't sleep, so I got up and turned on the TV and started flipping channels.
Well, we're getting free HBO and Showtime and Cinemax for the month or some finite period of time, and I hit on an interesting movie. Something about an lawyer in Tennessee and a kid dying and an insurance company... pretty interesting. After it was over, I turned it off and went back to bed to try to sleep.
Didn't work. Got up and turned on the TV again, and watched the last hour of a movie about a Chinese guy and the CIA... it was pretty funny, in a campish sort of way. The oriental guy is a Karate expert and all that stuff, but he never kills anyone himself. Don't know the names of either of those movies, since I missed the first on them...
Karen came home, then she went to pick Matt up and take him home. In the meantime, I started watching another movie, something about the DarkMan or something like that. Karen called and said that Matt wanted pizza, and that I should come join them and watch the KU-K-state basketball game. I didn't really want to go anywhere, so I declined and finished watching the movie. It was really pretty bad, but it was the rock that conked me out. When it was over, I crashed.
But it was really nice just sitting there watching movies... I've never really done that before. No interaction, no typing, just sit there and be (or not, as the case may be...) entertained.
Anyway, I didn't get up until about 08:00 this morning, and I didn't accomplish a whole lot.... Well, I did take down the xmas tree, and Tyler helped me get it back in the box. I bought three large containers the other day to store all of the xmas stuff in, got two of them filled up, and I'll probably fill the third one with stuff that we didn't get out this year... still in the basement in paper sacks.
Then I watched a coupla more movies. Damn, this is addicting... they probably are giving these premium channels away just to get me hooked? They've got another think coming, they do. I ain't gonna do it. They already get enough of my money just with the basics. And I got better things to do with my time, like play here. Well, maybe not really better, but other...
So Karen came home and fixed some supper... leftovers from Sunday that I hadn't had a chance to touch yet... Swiss steak with peas over mashed potatoes... excellent! She also had some ribs with sauerkraut which I passed on. Ribs should be barbecued, and sauerkraut should be thrown out.
Just my opinion, mind you, but facts is facts.
So, after supper, Boogie Nights comes on. Karen said the the star won some awards for it... I thought it was pretty stupid. I don't think that I'm gonna watch any more movies, free or not.
Well, maybe just a couple...
More tomorrow...
