weakend

One of the better things in life is the weekend following your first week back at work after a long vacation. After sleeping in, knocking around and generally not giving a fouts for twelve days, five straight days of concentrating and laboring is enough to stagger you.

So I am doubly excited about this three day weekend. Unfortunately I am still sick. I was really zonked out today, got up just in time for the playoff games. I think it needs to be said that the 2006 NFL Playoffs have been tremendously unexciting so far.

6 games, 6 clunkers. Not one exciting finish. Blah.

Weekends used to be full of late night mischief and greasy morning grub to help the hangover settle in properly. Now I'm happy if I can get some good rest, a game of hoops, and maybe see a friend. I usually don't get all that.

There's a New Year's Resolution: see more of my friends this year. Once you have a baby it's frighteningly easy to fall off the face of the earth, and I think that's what I've done so far.

This whole community blog thing could be fun, let's ride it out and see what happens. I also like it because I feel less wholly responsible for the content of this site. I'm just a contributor now. If I ever get asked about it by The Man, I can say I'm just one of a few different schmucks who chime in from time to time.

I hate reading hardcover books. My chances of finishing a hardcover are about 1 in 3, as opposed to 2 in 3 for a nice mushy paperback. Are people who buy hardcover books the same people who pre-order $3000 computers before all the kinks are worked out?

The recent unsolved whodat was Matt Groening.
