  • I have no idea what day of the week it is. I only know it’s 11-something because MOD plays on my TV; they re-run it every day at 11. Today at dinner my dad, in an effort to make conversation, asked me: ‘So what did you do today?’ It took me aback. I can’t recall my answer, but I know what I was thinking: ‘ummm… I watched some TV, I think I may have played some video games, I probably went to the washroom a few times, I think I got something to eat around lunch… you know, the usual.’ Heh, somehow this seems a pathetic existence, but somehow I’ve come to love it. On days like today I wish I had a steady job. On days when I work I wish it were a day like today. At first a day like today would just blur itself, turn into laziness begetting the same. But somehow, probably because my mind demands stimulation, I have started being aware of things. Analysing the shows I watch, playing with my sword while I watch. Designing a web site and following a story at the same time. You know, I think I’ve watched the MMVAs at least 3 full times. I’ve seen the stupid Hilary and Hailey Duff video so many times I’m starting to like it. Did you know that there are two versions of The River Below, the only difference is the last second of the video. In one, you can see Billy Talent fry: his body is encompassed in flames as you see his skeleton char. The other, the TV just cuts to static. I watched a show today called ‘Nip and Tuck.’ It was about two plastic surgeons. Honestly, I think the show had a good message: namely that looks are not the biggest deal in life, and focusing to much on them will leave you unfulfilled. The thing is, at the end of the show, they were still plastic surgeons, and the deformed lady shot the gay man she was in love with: the moral wasn’t applied in any of the characters who were supposed to have learned it. It somehow seems to make the moral of the story less poignant. You know what I just notices, Rick had a mullet. You can see the long hairs on his neck. Hey, their playing the MMVAs again, maybe I’ll watch…

  • you know what i like about the hilary duff song?  the fact that 'are lips are sealed' is a cover of a go-gos song from the 80's that is actually about them being lesbians.  an interesting choice of song for two sisters, no?

    and no knocking rick-- i wish i had a mullet.

  • You almost did have a mullet dan.  you can do it again!  your hair was shorter when you started last year... you have more time this year... :)

    Last year when I was working mostly at Zehrs - all I wanted was days like the one you describe (the do-nothing type of days).  This year... and the year I worked for my church (year = summer in that case) I found that because I actually enjoy my work... I can't handle nothing-days in excess.  One or two at a time are nice though... but they always turn into do-something days.  Like cleaning.  Writing.  Planning.  Odd jobs etc.  *sigh*  I guess I would still enjoy a do-nothing day where I actually did the equivalent of nothing.  rambling.  stopping.
