[As handwritten on Feb 27th]
(Of course, writing that title makes it false since “this” is now happening.)
It feels like [February] 17th and 18th all over again. I almost never have evening plans—I’m boring like that—and somehow, I got triple-booked on Thursday and quadruple-booked on Friday. Seriously, WTF doesn’t begin to describe it.
In this case, I’m still trying to avoid using computers, but somehow, I ended up having to use one for doing paperwork. (Homework can wait for another day, but this stuff needs to get mailed out tomorrow.) I’ve been able to limit my usage to MS Word, music, e-mail and the blog’s dashboard, but today still feels like I cheated. I (almost) never have to use a computer on a given day… this sucks.
Since I’m not helping my friends move today, I’ve had more time (and greater temptation) to plop down in front of the TV to watch sports… thankfully, the Oscars are on tonight, so I’m feeling an instinctive urge to avoid the television no matter what channel is on.
I have been doing some more reading since yesterday, in part because I woke up at 5:30AM and couldn’t get back to sleep. Still, I polished off one bookmarked book, so I’m down to probably two dozen.
Reading is actually another reason why I want to use my laptop. I’ve got my textbook for class next to the bed, but it’s slow going. The prof made PowerPoint slideshows to outline Chapters 1 and 2—looking at those might help with quicker reading comprehension, but “Hey, Foot, I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Gun and his sidekick, Bullet!”
That’s about all I can think of at the moment. I may finish this experiment with a recording describing my final thoughts, but if I do, it’ll probably be an audio recording. That way, I won’t have to worry about lighting, shaving, wearing pants… I’ll probably be wearing pants. Remember, this is a laptop and I have no desire to devise a new experiment that resembles “Shawn nuts roasting on an open fire.”
