Random thoughts:
I've put pictures on most of the blog entries on this site. Go look at 'em.
Most overlooked Christmas movie: Die Hard! Sure, A Christmas Story is funny, and Charlie Brown cartoons are cuter and more nostalgic, but who can deny that Die Hard kicked Christmas butt in the 80s? I still quote Alan Rickman saying: "When Alexander saw the breath of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. Benefits of a classical education." I remember seeing it in the theater and people laughed A LOT, and we were blown away by the sound. One of the first to use the new sound technologies.
I'm seriously jonesing Sherlock Holmes. Don't know why. Haven't seen the latest Robert Downey movie. But I did just buy an awesome huge book of the short stories as originally published in The Strand Magazine, with the original drawings by Sidney Paget, and the original type from that era. Cool, man. I'm listening to a reading of Sherlock Holmes by the guy who does Shut Up and Think! Go there and check him out. He sounds a bit like Rush Limbaugh, but I'm not holding that against him. He must get a ton of traffic, because two ads precede everything you click on.
Gotta work more on my writing and on my paper. A bit of anxiety is beginning to creep in about both. Paper is due December 7th or so.
Losing weight isn't hard. A few simple rules: Burn off more calories than you consume. Do more, eat less.
I will never be able to clean out this office. I fight an avalanche of paper and mountains of books every day.
I'm busy almost every second of the day, but I never seem to get everything done that I want/need to get done. How can that be?
I have more books to read than all books combined that I have ever read. Or it just seems that way.
Baseball season couldn't start soon enough. I'm hoping that it'll be so cold this winter that it won't snow.
I'm feeling so overwhelmed that I Googled daily planner forms and printed them out and am using them. I can't tell if that's responsible, or pathetic.
I have at least three short stories I haven't sent out yet. I have three novels I'm trying to write, all at once.
I go back to work tomorrow. It's been 4 days and I haven't come close to accomplishing everything I wanted. I realize that I'm coming across as a bit of a nut about this. I feel like I'm losing time, but for what?
I'm tired of the Blogger stats not working. What happened? Blogger says it's working on it.
I got accepted to RIC and URI networking sites on LinkedIn, but when I scrolled through the members, I didn't know any of them. I'm a member of 20 groups, just on LinkedIn alone, which seems like too many, and not enough, at the same time. I become exhausted and eye-strained just responding to all those things.
Josh Hamilton and Joey Votto will be one-hit wonders, especially Votto. His 328 total bases for an MVP has to be amongst the all-time lows. Hamilton has a few more good years if he keeps his eyes on the prize.
That's enough randomness for now. There'll be more to come, believe me.
