office life is tiring. well, not actually tiring, but it's also not as restful as sitting on one's couch and waiting for jeopardy to come on.

so, tuesday marks day six as someone's employee or, rather, an independent contractor. today, i told my supervisor that there's no way this project will be done by the deadline (next tuesday). her response? "keep plugging away." basically, "of course it won't be done in time. we've been putting it off for a year. duh."

i also broke, perhaps [and lamely] a personal record by having some sort of social interaction five straight days. that's probably not a personal record, because i went over to my friends' houses every day in elementary school, but it sure was a streak.

thursday: watching gurs lock his keys in his car, or, rather, the aftermath
friday: eating shrimp and drinking beer with coach and friends
saturday: watching others consume vegan meatloaf in milwaukee; admiring KISS action figures
sunday: fiesta! with j and friends
monday: 24 with stumpy

that's five days, and no overlap. and that's just too much.

upcoming schedule looks light, which i could benefit from. there may be a richard buckner sighting on friday night, and there are semi-solid trivia plans for thursday. next week, black rebel motorcycle club, always worth it, i think.

hermetic existence? what hermetic existence? now sleep.

never good to focus too much on your espn viewing, because sportscenter is an embarrassment. however, friday morning, during the opinion-based "cold hard facts" segment, mark schlereth and darren woodson were "debating" the best super bowl performances at each of six positions. each ex-player got 20 or so seconds to answer each question, fitting in friendly "insults" and "whoa! we agreed" statements. point is, the word "unbelievable" was used in eight of the 12 descriptions. and that, friends, is unbelievable.
