Insert Title Joke Here
I hate short holidays. I take a day to relax and I feel like I've wasted time that could have been much better spent on something else. And that feeling basically defeats the whole point of taking a day to relax in the first place.
Other than the odd late-night feeling of despair and hopelessness, today's actually been a pretty good day. Went into hospital in the morning and got some good news – I should be done in about a week. Nothing definite but a lot closer and a lot more specific than anything I've got in the past. At the very least, I should be done before my prelims start, albeit cutting it a bit close.
Sam came round in the afternoon and I gave him those revision sheets I was keeping for him – fat chance he'll use most of them but at least it's one task done for me. We spent most of the time either playing Link's Crossbow Training or watching Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged and Homestar Runner on my Eee. That thing really is becoming ridiculously useful.
We also dug out and watched a Simpsons episode which came up in conversation for some reason. It was that brilliant one with Hank Scorpio. I'm trying hard now to remember why we were all thinking about it but I honestly can't – I just keep reminding myself of scenes from it and laughing.
Other than that I've mostly just been browsing the web and watching Life on Mars. Still, that counts as a good day in my book.
I've also had a few good ideas regarding some of my creative endeavours. Sam agreed to do a woodle more-or-less weekly so I'll get him a precise script (I already gave him a rough description this morning) and the first one should go up next Saturday.
I've solved a few problems and come up with some more background information for The Grey Line. One of these days, I may actually write some of it down. On an even more unusual day, I might just show it to someone.
Anyway, I think that's about it. Haven't really got through much of the list I set out yesterday but... ah, well. Time to go to bed.
Have a nice day.
