NFL season started over the weekend, without much amazement. We had three games on TV here thanks to Oakland playing Monday Night, one of which I taped and sort of enjoyed watching later. The Sunday night game wasn't bad either, when I watched it at 2am on a break from writing. I'm looking forward to Monday night's SD@Oakland game, and will get to watch it around 1am, since I'll be out all evening and then interacting with Malaya once I get home, before she goes to bed.
Can you tell I'm trying to avoid getting into long football discussions on the blog this year? As a result, the preceding paragraph was among the most boring ever posted on this site, but at least there was only one of it.
My fingers aren't tired, but my brain is. I spent several hours Sunday evening working on an as-of-yet unannounced project, and then worked another couple of hours on HGL site stuff, several more on my novel, another hour on emails and instant messages, and here's this, as I prepare for bed. Happily, all these projects use very different parts of my brain, metaphorically speaking, and I can use the next one as a break from the previous one. My next break will involve snoring, and take place in the dark bedroom, with Jinxie propped over my left ankle.
We splurged on Chinese food Saturday night, and I got the best "
in bed" fortune cookie message ever.
Soon the credit for your input will be recognized.
Sounds like my
ExtenZe prescription must be on the way!
Much as I hate hot weather, the fact that our daily highs haven't exceeded 82 for a month is starting to aggravate me. Have the weather gods forgotten
the best $350 we ever spent? Do they not know that statistically, July and August are the two hottest months here, with September just a few degrees behind? Can they not arrange another (brief) daytime heat wave, giving us an opportunity to gloatingly unleash the 18000 BTU now squatting malevolently on our back patio, before October ushers in six months of daytime jacket weather?
I'm sure there was something else I meant to mention here, but my brain's kind of fried, so anyway, something something something...
