Great thoughts of Fleeting substance

Very little happened this weekend. I like having those nothing-to-do weekends every once in a while. They’re rarer still now that I’m taking classes. I did manage to do a few useful things this weekend. For one, I replaced the ugly steel monstrosity in my bedroom with a *far* superior bookcase from IKEA. Call me a slave to the anonymous corporate landscape that churns out identical furniture for people that have no identity of their own, but I just like their stuff. I like those modern, clean lines. And you can’t beat the price, you just can’t. As far as I’m concerned, that’s all I need. Anyway, it’s just stuff. I also got a little table to go in the living room for putting plates and food and the like on. It replaces a cardboard box that we had been using. I think it’s a step up.

I also washed my car. It got attacked by a swarm of birds with diarrhea a few days ago when I was at TKD. I parked under a tree. Normally that tree isn’t too vicious, but there were some passing gipsy-birds that seemed intent to paint my car white. I can stand a dusty car, but one covered with bird droppings is a touch lowbrow. I’m still getting used to having to wash my car, too. It never rains down here. Just…never.

Other than that, not much, man, not much. Did some exercise, played some video games. I’m planning to take some time off this week and do some ‘hardcore goofing-off’; because I can, and because I don’t have classes to get in the way. Hawaii trip on the horizon? Why yes, I do believe it is. Hoping for a super-good time. And Mary looks like she needs the rest. She looks pretty beat-down.

Brmmrmmmmm…nothing else to write. Later!
