Swimming the same deep water
Feb. 1st, 2004 08:11 pmI haven't posted anything for a while, which usually is an indication things are rough. On occasion I think things suck more than I can stand. But I'm always wrong.
More tired more of the time than I like. Alternating between wondering if I'm sick and not feeling much of anything. Resenting my job has become more of a hobby. And I'm no longer interested in hoping that the next paycheck will be enough to keep my life together for another two weeks.
I got to play Bear In Winter this weekend, which was fun even though it was much more draining than I'd expected. (Leave it to me to turn a widget-hunt into a Long Dark Journey of the Soul. The Monsignor lost his faith, then had it regained and negotiated the restoration of the Papal States.) The story was fun, the costumes were lovely, it was nice to see Jason and Anthony and lots of people I haven't seen in over a year, and it's always pleasant to be reminded how much I enjoy Gayle's company.
So my housemate and I watched the Super Bowl commercials. Thanks to the miracle of TiVo, we didn't actually have to watch the game, and in fact had to go to ESPN.com to find out who won. I saw commercials for the Partnership for a Drug Free America, the salute to G-Bu's new and better funded NASA, and one other commercial that looked like it involved an american flag prominently and very very patriotically waving. Luckily the network doesn't want to give anybody a platform to preach from. Unless they're preaching about buying beer.
