Today I subsisted largely on pizza and ice cream sandwiches. I think I’ve dropped some bad habits and replaced them with food. Yay! Why can’t I become one of those guys who becomes obsessed with working out? It worked for Danny Bondaduche. On second thought…
Actually, I needed a day like today. This morning I woke on the couch, after a solid ten hour sleep, too late for hoops. I didn’t do much early in the morning. I channel surfed, read the paper, ordered Morrissey tickets, sent Dan some IMs, answered some email, and half-heartedly cleaned the house. Oh, I tried to complete my passport application, but I can’t find my birth certificate, so apparently I’ll have to order one from Illinois for forty bucks. Oh well, I have to figure the free trip to Italy into the equation. Forty bucks isn’t that big of a deal. I want a new backpack, though, too, so maybe I’ll end up dropping more cash than I would like. At noon or so I returned a movie to the library, hit the atm for forty bucks, and purchased the NY Times and Wall Street Journal. Later I watched the first hour of a documentary on Eastern Philosophy. The first hour addressed Confucianism and the Shinto religions. I was into the film, actually. I thought about driving down to the museum, or catching a film, but I couldn’t justify the drive. Instead, after the boys arrived home, we played football in the back field until S got angry and quit. I took a bath, helped T get an email address (we’re doing something wrong, not sure what, that causes us to be able to send but not receive messages), and played some pinball. Tomorrow maybe I’ll hit the Y and ride the bike before the waterpark. God knows I could use the exercise. Good night.
