Clear away the cobwebs. . .

It seems that it's hard for a procrastinator not to procrastinate. Today, I was supposed to start taking care of a few of the things that I should've taken care of by now. But a little bit of sick is still clinging to my throat and lungs, and that was enough for me to go all Little Orphan Annie and start singing about Tomorrow again. Today, I'm not that sick. If I had something already scheduled, I'm nowhere near sick enough that I would have cancelled it. But for some reason, this hint of sick was all I needed to not call about apartments or about school (I never did get a response from the email I sent) or about my work schedule for the week. Apparently a tickley throat and a stuffy nose are also too much to endure writing through. One more day wasted. One less day to do something.

I'm grateful for cream of wheat with raisins (20).

By the looks of today, I must be pretty grateful for TV (20).

Word geek

Today marked the end of the Thanksgiving festivities here, and I got a chance to do a bit of writing. While I was writing, I had this strong desire to go back to the beginning so I could stick the word cordiform into a description. My plan for this story was not to go back to fix things until I was finished. But I became obsessed with that word, cordiform. It's a good word. I wanted to use it. And so I went back and put it in there.

Anyway, because this event was probably the most excitement I had today, I figured I'd really excite you all by listing some cool words:

cordiform
visceral
sanguine
gibbous
wizened
bubble
rend
sepia
viscous
sinewy
canopy
pretty
sackbutt
bit
upon
soporific
boondoggle
exhale
ziggurat

Eh. That's enough for now. If this post is as popular as I expect it to be, maybe I'll list more words some other time. Dare to dream people. Dare to dream.

I'm grateful for the Red Wings vs. the Blue Jackets (20).

Nine hours

We played Halo 3 for nine hours tonight. Nine hours. That's a lot of Halo 3. That's a lot of fun. I could make some ultra-nerd reference here, but I think we're all a bit too tired for that. I'm going to bed. Sorry for the crap post. But hey, it least it's short and crappy.

I'm grateful for Halo 3 (20).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was like most Thanksgivings. I woke up about a half an hour into the parade. People were already gathered around the TV watching it. Stuff was already cooking. There were donuts and flavored coffee. My interest in the parade barely outlasted my donuts and coffee. People came over. We watched football. More people came over. We watched more football. The kids were cute. I only knocked one of 'em over. All the family that were in town gathered and ate turkey and ham and sweet potato souffle, which has finally usurped our old sweet potato preparation, and stuffing and cranberries and black cherry jello and mashed potatoes and. . . deliciousness. My mom was in the kitchen all day. She'll probably be in agony for a week because of the time she put on that foot of hers. But she's like that. She'll cripple herself for a week to give her family one good day. And it was a good day (20).

'twas the night before Thanksgiving

and all through the house
not a procrastinator was stirring. . .

Seriously. I haven't done shit. I write a little each day. Some days I work. And that's mostly it. I need to consider changing my title, "The Procrastinator Does Very Little, Most of Which is Quite Dull." Catchy. I'm building up these elaborate fantasies of what will happen once I get back into school. I'll ace all of my classes (I probably will). I'll join tons of groups (maybe a couple). I'll meet everyone (even celebrities, somehow). I'll land the most amazing, world-changing, summer internship ever (apparently there's a company that specializes in my awesomeness). But I haven't even heard back from the school yet. I'm not even sure where to begin in my situation. And I'm not doing much of anything now. I'm putting it all off. Once I get back in school. . . Once I get back in school. . . Once I get back in school. . . But last time I was in school, I wasn't the most active. Once I'm out of school. . . Once I'm out of school. . . Once I'm out of school. . . Screw that, dude. Do stuff now. . . Do stuff now. . . Do stuff now. . . Heh, repetition gets a little repetitive after a while.

I'm booked pretty solid for the holiday. Good. I just have to avoid that letdown after everyone leaves.

I'm grateful for pizza (20).

I almost forgot

I was getting ready for bed, thinking about all the sleep I had coming to me, when I realized that I had yet to update my blog. I'm not sure how I forgot to do so because I have the most! exciting! post! EVER! planned for you all. . . Bah. I got nothin'.

I started the process of getting back into school. Weeee!!!

I worked. Wooohooo!!!

I wrote a bunch. Yay!!!

I played some online poker. Woah!!!

I. . . I. . . I gotta start doing more exciting stuff. With all the upcoming family time, I'm sure something more entertaining will happen. I guess it would be kind of hard for it to be less entertaining.

I'm grateful for itty-bitty bottles of wine (20).
