• Progress!

    26 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    As of 4:30 PM, I have gotten through 100 additional pages of Gotham. It really is a terrific book, very hard to put down. With 3-1/2 hours before 8 PM, I figure I can get through just about 50 pages more, putting me right at my goal of getting through 150 pages today. This would…

  • The goal today

    26 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    The goal today is to get through about 150 pages or so of Gotham, which will put me in a good position to finish up by Friday. It’s just about 8 AM now, and if I get started at 8 AM, and give myself until 8 PM (with a few breaks, of course), I can…

  • Woodpecker

    25 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    For the last couple of mornings, when I leave for work, I’ve heard this fast drumming-like sound, something that sounds like a cell phone on vibrate on a wood table. It occurred to me the other day, that the sound is, in fact, a woodpecker in my neighbors tree. I can hear it right now…

    That’s what I spend the early part of my evening doing. I am so sick of pizza, I am always telling people how sick of pizza I am, but this evening, what did I do? I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt bad for a delivery man. This…

  • Sleep–interrupted

    24 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I turned out the lights at 10 PM last night and slept fitfully until just after 1 AM. Since then, I’ve been awake, unable to go back to sleep. I’m debating giving up, turning on the light and reading until I have to get ready for work, in about 4 hours, but I’m going to…

  • SNL: The Best of Christopher Walken

    24 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I got this DVD from NetFlix today and it is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always been a Christopher Walken fan, but this is him at his funniest. I laughed through the entire hour and twenty minutes of skits.

  • 998 books

    23 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I’ve just ordered my 998th book, Joe Haldeman’s War Stories. This means that I need 2 more books to reach 1,000. One of the two books I’m already planning on ordering–it’s the one volume I’m missing in the 11-volume Story of Civilization series by Will Durant. That means, I really only need one more book…

    I hate the soap in the men’s room at work. It smells like latex!
