Granted, the thermometer outside the window in my kitchen is in constant direct sunlight, but it says 108 degrees. Yesterday I was out of town. Today I have spent a significant amount of my time awake attached to the toilet. I haven’t had a Mounjaro Day in months, but that’s really what this feels like, and one way or another, it’s 8:06 PM and I’m done with today and going to bed.
We are out of town, and since my brother doesn’t want pictures of his kids on the internet, have a frame from Mega Shark Vs. Crocasaurus, which we are watching, because why not.
Tired of the entire universe right now— I’ve DNFed the last two books I’ve tried to read, I’m pretty sure I’m going to bail on the game I started after finishing Crime Scene Cleaner, the Internet is pissing me off, and the world outside my house is a dumpster fire. And that’s as whiny as I’m willing to be right now, so I’m just going to go do another couple of bags on my current Lego set and be done with the world for today.
EDIT: I’ve praised Lego in the past for their love of tiny details that get hidden in the final build but this shit is diabolical:
Apparently this weekend’s activities, insofar as I actually did things, have squelched my ability to be human today. There was a nap and then a nap and then another nap and now I’m ready for bed.
I’ll, like, review something for you tomorrow, or something.
If you’re local, you really owe it to yourself to check this out. Potawatomi Zoo remains one of the major highlights of the area. You’ve got a few more days; Zooluminate runs until June 1. This was a hell of a lot of fun.
I have spent all day thinking of Decluttering, which is kind of a ludicrous term for me to use under any circumstances, but especially under these: I need to get rid of a lot of my shit so that I have room for more shit. I do not at all intend to lead a life of acquiring less shit, which would be the more sensible approach to … well, everything. Most of my ideas for this summer involve either getting rid of shit or clearing any of half a dozen different backlogs of unread books, unplayed video games, TV shows and movies I want to watch, and unbuilt Lego sets. The biggest need around the house, other than cleaning and organizing, is to fix the fence in the back yard that the tree fell on, which my wife is convinced we can do on our own. She has to catch me in the right mood to do it, but that’s at least imaginable.
Part of me really wants to review the book I posted about yesterday, but I don’t think I’m going to. Those of you who figured out what it was (and I apologize for being coy, but sometimes I don’t want a pan to show up on a Google search) may possibly have remembered that I reviewed the first book in the series and did not mention constant terrible writing. I kind of want to pick it back up and reread a couple of chapters to see if it has the same writing problems and I just was able to ignore them for some reason. I am interested to see if it had a different editor than the first book. If so, there are two more books and some novellas, and I really hope he had the original editor for all of those. We’ll see.
Anybody have big plans for Memorial Day? We do not, which is what I want; I need to create some substitute assignments (as in, they substitute for assignments I can’t print, not “I’m planning on needing a substitute”) for Tuesday and Wednesday and finish grading about an inch of final exams, but that and eating a couple of brats pretty much sum up my plans for the day. Let me know if you’ve got anything cool going on.
