The second update wherein I continue to bitch about stuff and things

Oct 27, 2004 00:05

Not being 100% sure of how this whole thing works I will take a minute or so to have a drink and type out some more crap. See how it goes or whatever. My mother bought me a wonderful $60 corkscrew for my birthday... of the several things I mentioned I might've desired to have for my birthday I found it odd that she chose that one as the gift. It works very well and thank god (and mom too I guess) that I no longer have to worry much about carpal tunnel syndrome/disease from opening too many bottles of wine as it is warranted to 10 years/8,000-10,000 bottles ("cork-pulls") and frankly if I drank that many (which if my calculations are correct to get 10,000 bottles drank in 10 years I'd need to drink 2.739~ a day, thereabouts) I'd be more likely to die of boredom and lack of variety not to mention some sort of liver related issues long before the CT would ever be a problem. But still - why she chose a fancy corkscrew is bizarre to think of. And she also sent it with no card or note or anything. All of a sudden USPS is delivering a package to work for me from Amazon and really the only way I knew it was from her was that she's the only person I'd bothered to ask for the frivolous corkscrew from. Plus her name was on the receipt. Now my cat is barfing in the other room. Which reminds me I forgot to buy cat food today (didn't have much of an opportunity anyway since I was at the mind numbingly boring job for 14 hours) and I'll be lucky if the 2 of them (cats) don't try to eat me while I sleep.

Musing on this I wonder if a blog or whatever is just another dilletante way to waste my time (life) or if it is a way to "improve" my writing skill or even yet, simply, a way to focus myself away from the increasingly undeniable fact that I have fucked off 35 years of productivity and yet since it will likely be an oft visited topic - just simply a sad reminder. These cute little animal icons I have found to use are certainly a plus but really I have to wonder - isn't there something that could be more productively done with my time (life)?
