Today was a nothing day

… which is fine, I suppose, as I’m on vacation, and the occasional nothing day is good for the mental health, right? But the most exciting thing I did today was swing by a doctor’s office to pick up a box for my son to poop in (I am absolutely not providing any further explanation; don’t panic) and the brief moment of wanting to kill the entire world when the nurse explained to me that I may have to refrigerate the poop if I cannot immediately deliver it to them after he has shit in the box.

Thank Christ we are middle-class enough that we have two refrigerators.

Whoops

The day kind of got away from me– I got home from the comic shop, drank a big glass of eggnog, and took a nap, and I’ve been faffing around on the PS5 all night– so expect two posts tomorrow. I’ll do both of my book posts for the year. In the meantime, I’m still playing through God of War: Ragnarök over on The YouTubes, and you haven’t subscribed yet, so go take care of that.

Today’s agenda

Unknown…such as it is:

  • Get caught up on reading my comic books;
  • Finish reading Time Salvager, by Wesley Chu (interim verdict: enjoying a lot, but starting to drag juuuuust a little bit);
  • Read The Only Harmless Great Thing, by Brooke Bolander (a novella, so it’ll go fast, but I’m psyched);
  • Possibly write a blog post more substantive than this one;
  • Video games;
  • Pay some bills;
  • Write fiction;
  • Apply for at least two jobs;
  • Draw a picture;
  • Be dressed and showered before my wife gets home from work;
  • Clean up the house a bit, including getting the Christmas tree into the basement.

I’d better get started, I guess.

Fuckit

The world does not need more hatred and anger at the moment, and that’s legitimately everything I’ve got, so I’m taking the day off, or at least taking it off until the copious amounts of mood-altering drugs I’m supposed to be taking actually succeed in altering some moods.  Until then:

This is so damn cool

After about ten minutes from now, because I’m taking care of a couple of things here at the start of the day, I’m going to do my damnedest to avoid looking at screens today, because my eyes are bugging me. The internet will have to do without me today.

Which means that I won’t be able to look at this five thousand more times.  But YOU can.

As of right now…

…I’m taking today off from blogging.  Which probably means that sometime tonight something will piss me off and I’ll write a 2000 word screed about it.  But it’s been a long week and my thinkybits are sorta melty, so I’m gonna use tonight to recharge.

Requiescat

Unless something goes terribly wrong, by the time this post pops I’ll be well along the way to my uncle’s funeral in Michigan, a state run by even worse people than the ones who run mine.  While we’re just spending the day up there and will probably be back before or around dark, I don’t expect to much be in the mood for bloggery, and it seems unlikely that anything mutually entertaining will be happening while I’m there.  If I do manage to find some material, expect it to be Arby’s related, believe it or not.

One way or another, I expect to be taking the day off.  See you tomorrow.
