It’s hard to believe that I have already been here for two days. I’ve consumed enough beer to kill a small army and got to try Boo’s mom’s Bahama Mama mix. We just finished watching ‘The Queen’ and I’m happy to say it deserved every piece of positive recognition it received.
I finished reading a book today. You should be impressed. For as much as I write…you would think I read double. I don’t. And it’s not that I don’t enjoy reading. There have just been very few books that caught my eye long enough for me to care what happens. At any rate, do check out Jim Butcher’s series, The Dresden Files. I was reading the series far before it was ever made for TV, so shut it. The books are just…great. Period. The TV show doesn’t do it any deed nearly resembling justice. Shame on the idea-people for not making it a series of movies instead. They could have done so much more with it like that.
The latest installment in the series is supposedly the latest in one of twenty. I certainly hope that if Butcher still has it in him by book 20 he keeps it going. Wizards, like The Queen…have longevity.
Speaking of longevity, I think I’m good on protein for awhile. I had more meat today (shut up) than ever in a single day. I didn’t realize I’d ordered the triple decker at Burger King until I started eating it. And yes, I finished all but 2 or 3 bites. With the chicken fries and onion rings…and a great steak dinner to follow, I just had to take it easy. But I do love those onion rings. Mmmmmm MMMM!!!! If I don’t come back from this trip with an extra few pounds, be surprised.
I bought new games today at a small town center outside of Wilmington. The new Prince Of Persia, Elder Scrolls IV, and Marble…Mania? I think that’s the title. It’s the new done-up Wii version of Marble Madness, which I heart. I also bought the first two installments of Jim Butcher’s -other- book series ‘The Codex Alera’.
Finally, there is a certain feeling inside…that I will come home to change. And I don’t know that all of it will be good. But life, like change, is eternal. If I didn’t believe that, I would be in for surprises the amount of which would stun me to uselessness. Here’s…not hoping…but asking the winds that they be kind.
I am more burned than yesterday…and proud of myself for not logging into work-email. (This is your vacation, damn you.) Here’s to an 8 to 4 work schedule for June & July!!!!!!!! Rock!! We’re about to see A-Ron’s return to the gym with two-time Subway State Guest, Jase. Jase…the man who blogged for two days and gave it up.
