Well, I've managed to stay awake so far... but I've not accomplished anything material at all today. Not that I was really expecting to... I wish that things would just automatically get done.
Once I get started, I'm all right. It's just that getting started part.
Anyway, I did do a lot of web stuff... catching up on people, that sort of thing. Time-consuming and fun stuff. Time-wasting? Nah. Necessary for my peace of mind, I guess.
I went to check on the Atheist Journals Web-ring and found that there were ten people in the queue, and I hadn't got notices from them. Then I checked the email address... they were sending to a dead address, the networx+ one. So I need to spend some time working on that, and the Smoke-ring Journals Web-ring was the same way, dammit. Much more catching-up to do.
A little later... 21:35. Karen and I went out to the New China Inn again, had an excellent meal as usual, enjoyed sitting across from each other and flirting.
We got home in time to watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and I didn't do as well as I usually do. Even though I went to a trivia site today and got 10 out of ten on their weekly quiz, averaging six seconds per question... they allow 30 seconds. So I got a lot of useless crap in my head. If I could get on the show, it would be, of course, the wrong useless crap.
Someday, I'm gonna write down that number and call, just to see what could happen.
Well, probably not.
Life is funny. You know, if I thought that money could solve all of my problems... hell, if it could even solve half of my problems, I would try to make some. Or a lot. But it wouldn't.
Let's face it... life's problems can only be solved by dying. And that's crummy, and not fair at all. We've talked about fair before, haven't we?
So... one should enjoy one's problems, and be happy that they're not bigger problems, like other people seem to have. Other people have problems that make them want to die... some of them
And if you have problems doing that? Well, just for practice, you can laugh at me. You'll find enough to laugh at so's you'll forget your problems for a while... then you'll figger out that I'm enough like you that, by golly, You're pretty funny too. See? That wasn't hard, was it?
For instance... When Karen got home, I made a pot of coffee. There was a half-of-a-cup left in the pot, and I forgot to turn it off before we went out for supper. It had evaporated and burned onto the bottom of the carafe when we got home. Pretty funny, huh? Well, this is the third time that I've done that in the last week. That makes it even funnier! And it makes me more than slightly dangerous... I'm gonna have to start paying more attention to stuff like that.
And Tyler left for Texas today... I hope that he and JD have a good time skiing... well, they snowboard, that's done on a ski slope though. I hope that they don't hurt themselves...
And the SpyCam is back on again... it gets turned off, and I forget to turn it back on, but it semi-automatically comes on when I reboot, which I've done several times today. Then I just have to remember to turn on the camera, which I usually forget to do. Nobody ever comes to look, anyway, and when they do, they usually see an empty room. Empty, messy room.
And I've been awake quite long enough, now. I've got a bunch of files to upload, so I better get started. Karen is off tomorrow, so it's gonna be a work day... then the weekend will be fun. That's the plan, anyways...
even do, just to get away from them. That happens if you lose the ability to laugh at your problems... the ability to laugh at yourself.
