A Long Weekend Wasted? Nah!

The last few days have been really relaxing. I know later on I’m gonna look back on this long, four day weekend and say to myself, “Damn, I could have spent those four days off way better than that now. I’d kill people for four days off in a row right now.” But regardless this is how I have spent them. Yesterday I slept in till around 10:00. I woke up in my brother’s bed. This was cause I stayed at my mom’s house overnight on Thanksgiving. This is cause I was too tired to drive home after eating a large meal of pasta with white sauce and shrimp, spinach soaked in melted butter and vinegar, garlic bread, and salad and then watching Waking Life. Waking Life is a real philosophical movie done with a really unique animation. This movie was originally filmed using real people and sets, then different artists animate the scenes by “drawing” over the top of them. It was really pretty interesting but the philosophy was sometimes hard to swallow. It was just me and my mom on Thanksgiving. In the next couple of weeks we’ll go down to my grandmas for a full on turkey dinner cause my brother and Pandy are in Hawaii. We celebrate our holidays on our own terms.

On Friday I spent the afternoon surfing the internet on my moms computer, talking on the phone with Jami, and watching Anger Management. I didn’t do hardly anything in the evening and again went to bed early. It makes me wonder if I may have caught something that might be wearing me down. When I got up this morning I went to my local coffee shop and spent a couple hours reading. Then I went to pick up my developed film and shop for digital cameras. I think I have set a price range and have a few ideas of what I want now. I IM’d with Cati a little bit this afternoon. I’m at work now cause I’m trying to get ahead for a big deadline I have in the next couple of weeks. Still no plans for the remainder of the weekend either. Sigh.

I want to stop telling the trivial, but I don’t want to stop the telling. This is becoming increasingly difficult.

    keep telling! there’s something comforting about hearing about everyday lives, that not everything has to be like a movie.

    Don’t stop with the trivial. I like the trivial.

    Don’t mind me butting in here, but I think that it’s not the story, but the telling that counts. I think people go to blogs for the writing, not the drama. Meh. Maybe I’m wrong.

    People come back to blogs for the telling, not the stories. Or so it seems to me … but what do I know?

    Chevy - some of the pictures came out good. i havn’t got a camera yet. i know what features i want now i just have to find the cheapest price.

    Dahl - i often think of that army commercial on TV that asks, “if your life were a book would anybody read it?” then think about joining the army. the i realize i’m too old and unhealty to enlist.

    Jules - sorry to bother you, but can i borrow a half cup of inspiration. i haven’t been able to make it to the store yet this week.

    Deb - from what i know of you deb, you know quite a bit. thanks for the encouragement.
