Thursday – 18 October 2007
I know that I’ve used the line “Waking up and getting up has never been easy,” from Elastica’s Waking Up, many times before, but it was especially apt this morning. I really couldn’t muster the get-up-and-go to… um… get up and go. So, I slept in a bit. And even then, it was still a bit of a struggle. But I managed to do it.

So far, the work day has been good and rather uneventful. And, on the short commute side: I came in to the north office to finish up an item. I got an email from a couple of the AF guys that they weren’t going to make it to the gym today, so I decided to skip today’s drive to Happy Valley.

…and, thus, no workout today.

Stray Toasters

• I picked up Renaissance and Reservoir Dogs yesterday. I started watching Renaissance last night; I would have finished it… had I not been so tired and fallen asleep. Of the… 2/3 that I saw, I like the movie; I’ll probably finish it off tonight.
• “Anything else is frosting.”
• Never mind the b******t, swearing at work is a good thing

• Hang Fire Books
• This, in and of itself, is kind of cool. I was talking with SaraRules (with a nod to for that) about possible uses for it. The best thing that I came up with: Drawing a chalk summoning circle outside the front door, with the skeleton partially in/partially out of the circle – as if the spell failed. I wonder how damaging that would be to the fragile psyches of the neighborhood kids…
• Look Like Your Enemy: Create signs that confuse, astound and parody! (Have I mentioned that I [heart] Instructables?)

Namaste.
