I tried to come up with an "It's Saturday" post, I really did. But the heat is just so hideous, and this week has been such an odyssey, I can't keep the thought in my head for more than a few seconds.
The rest of us are like that, too. We cannot get moving. We have a party to go to at 3:00. But it's 2:00 and we're still doing that sort of Milling About that one does first thing in the morning.
We'd be upset but it's too funny. It's summertime, dammit. We should be vacationing but we're working harder than ever. After getting up at 6:00 and leaving by 7:45 every single morning this week, we deserve this sliver of time for unfettered sloth.
If we try to get mad at each other for Milling, we end up busting out laughing. Several people have fallen to the floor, laughing. It's been that kind of day.
I'm reading "The Mists of Avalon" for the third time. Can't help it. I tell you. It's summer, all right. Late July is always the time of year when I realize that my lofty summer reading resolutions are all in the toilet. Mists of Avalon is a good book, except a) MZB's publisher should have edited that book more heavily, and b) when you read it for the third time, you realize it's just a medieval soap opera. Lancelot loves me! But I love Arthur! Morgaine wants to take Lance away from me! No, Arthur wants to take Morgaine away from Lance! Tune in next week when we hear Viviane say ... "Oh, I knew Gwenevere was barren all along, but nobody ever asks me anything ..."
The most motivated I've been is on Neopets today. I lost and regained an entire fortune, and entered a World Competition for Word Pyramid (but only got 5th place - rats).
Yes! That's it! Follow me, blogfolk.
It's Saturday, so you all have time to register for a free Neopets account!
And then look me up and make me your Neofriend. My Neopets name is stgulik. :-)
If you don't want to sign up, you can still play their games. Try Word Pyramid!
OMG! I haven't played with my Neopets in ages. Happyduser is probably dead!
