As the first WWDOW* in a while, I am trying to get caught up on a lot of the stuff I haven't done in the last few months, MBA and conjugal life oblige. With exams in a couple of weeks, this is actually going to be my only relaxing night of the weekend...
So I am spending my time getting my Mac set up just right again (it crashed on Tuesday and I spent most of Wednesday putting it back together again...), getting caught up on a whole of other blogs that I read, watching TV (Adam 12 with its nice white-bread police officers), thinking about finishing up La Presse for today and last Saturday (?) and watching some cool videos from The Matrix, one of my favorite movies- actually it's a series of shorts called The Animatrix).
I'm holed up on 8 year-old dead futon (it makes my arse hurt) with my laptop. Surfing the web wirelessly. Before me sit the dead remnants of a pizza ... oh shit, I just remembered that I forgot to turn the stove off... back in a second... OK. Phew.
Time flies when I do this but it's not necessarily relaxing, in fact I may actually be a case of WWWOD** instead. The last time I had a WWDOW was back in February and it actually occurred for two weekends in a row. Both of them featured Friday nights full of Shiraz red wine and two wonderful cheeses: Etorky and Morbier. I was jonesing for the same deal tonight but I resisted- I have to be in shape for studies tomorrow. Oh well.
(The original Dragnet (not the 2003 version) is on right now. Kind of a middle ground between the spanking cleanliness of Adam 12 and the Los Angeles brought to life by Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy - did LA even exist before TV?)
