How are you wasting your Sunday?

Discouraged by the dearth of locksmiths that are open for business on Sunday (when will this archaic custom cease?), I've decided to spend the remainder of the morning reading the lyrics to Siamese Dream on the internet.

Do I need to answer that? But I'm still expecting to make it to the gym this afternoon. I am very unhappy with the spare tire I have developed in the last two years and it has got to go. Spending so much time sitting in front of my PC doesn't help.

Gave the cat a bath. Too hot to sit in the sun and read, so I'll sit inside and read. Though I'm most likely going to take a nap. This is all way too exciting for my feeble mind.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 29 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Just finished watching a bootleg DVD copy of A Certain Treasured Film By Many Here that will apparently never be released in its original version officially. Finishing ripping some CDs, downloading like mad on slsk. In an hour or so, I'll finally be off to an oft-delayed but finally nailed down going away beach party for my good friend Ben, who is off to Amsterdam tomorrow for a year's study.

(x-post) And there's me worrying about the 400 songs that don't have titles or artists...

I've been lounging around with a hangover and, for some reason, I've really enjoyed it. I know the reason, now I think about it - it's because we have an extra day this weekend, and I did stuff yesterday and have a full day's activities planned for tomorrow. I also got to speak to Sarah (who's gallivanting around Massachusetts) much earlier than expected, so that made me glow too.

As for what I actually did - well, I'm still in my dressing gown (and Sarah's totally comfy scrubs) so going out was a no-no. I did try and unblock my kitchen sink, using this thing that is basically a waterjet in a can. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to seal my washing machine overflow pipe, so instead of clearing the pipes, I managed to spray a large quantity of DISGUSTING black goo over a fair proportion of the kitchen. So clearing that up was fun.

That would drive me insane.

I watched the old firm game in the pub, with my teammates then I had a shower, played some golf, hitting a nice 6-iron at the moment, and now I have wet feet and a hunger. later tonight I'll watch magnolia and listen to some records.

i went to jersey. i ate at jose tejas and split a shrimp & crawfish quesadilla and a steak chimichurri with my pops. yum. i went shopping at trader joe's in westfield and bought out half of the store, including a chilean merlot and a sangiovese, $4.99 each. i will drink one of them tonight to celebrate chris moving out of his apartment. right now: air conditioning, recharging ipod, freeing the brooklyn two, and drinking the last of my six-pack.

I'm all up on the West coast and shit, but I get the Eastern feed of MTV via DirecTV so the VMAs will be over before dinner time for me.

xpost to scott: sausage is great, don't let the haters fool you man.

tonight: cooking dinner for Austin, who's coming over around 9. Chicken parm & pasta & salad (if I go get lettuce.) Before that: reading and listening to jamz, enjoying nobody else being home. after dinner: smooches??

right, wasting. well, rufus and i did go swimming in the lagoon today, otherwise i would say that we spent the whole damn day indoors in the air-conditioning like dirty layabouts, but it was icky outside today so i don't feel bad.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 29 August 2004 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i just went swimming with my niece, my sister, and her husband and lost my contact lenses in the pool. i feel stupid. for some reason, i figured they would stay in my eyes cos they do in the shower. maybe i should just get used to glasses. but it was fun. i had originally planned on going to the library to try to finish up this project, but i didn't need lots of convincing...

Dyson, you were just down at Harbourfront? We heard there was a power outage down there and with the weather we figured it would be a bust so we went to Loblaws instead. Were you there on Friday as well? BSS got a pretty decent crowd. We spent most of that night in the beer tent mind you.

I went to the Body World exhibit at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Plasticised human bodies, cut open and displayed for various views and comparisons. Creepy at first but then just like any other exhibit.

got up late, hangover-ish. Watched a little of the beginning of the protest on TV, then got inspired to overcome hangover and go. Met up with roommate and last year's subletter (not the crappy one from this summer) at the hamburger stand in Madison Park. Walked with them down to Union Square, caught a couple "dance routines" (hey doofuses - Britney supports Dubya), then went to Tompkins Square Park to see if the police were gonna arrest these "anarchists." Was amused for about 15 minutes of crazy anarchist ranting ("stand up and do something!!! you fucking idiots!!!" - yeah that's a good way to persuade people). Then went to a bar with roommate, subletter, UK girl and AUS girl (nice, never met them before). Met up with lauren, then the two of us got dinner. Then a weirdly long subway ride home, and here I am.

Worked at the water treatment plant in the a.m. Played hearts for a while on the computer while there. Walked the dog. Cut the grass. Made my wife's lunch for her workday. Returned foul milk to the store and got a new gallon. Read the Sunday paper at lunch. Took a nap. Awoke to a thunderstorm. walked the dog again. Took a bath. Read baseball scores on line.

Just got back from that going away party on the beach. Absolutely great time -- beautiful clear day, good strong ocean breeze to keep it from being too hot, got a fire pit going, toasted hot dogs and made s'mores and about eight of us sat around, chewed the fat, relaxed and made a day of it. Rah for Ben, off to Amsterdam! He'll do just fine.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll bet it was just fine. I'm going to the ocean in a month and hope to do a little of the same.

Dragged all the leftover stuff down to the garage for easy moving on Tuesday. Hung out for a bit at the aforementioned beach party Ned was at. Came home and am enjoying my last night at the apartment with a beer and an open wireless access point I just discovered.

I wouldn't call my Sunday wasted at all. I've been doing laundry, sweeping and mopping, doing dishes, all while listening to the audiobook of "The Bible: A Biography" by Karen Armstrong. Though I did eventually turn that off, and now I'm listening to The Big Stiff Box Set while dicking around on the internet.

Finalized travel dates for next month and booked flights (after calling my boss and asking her point-blank "is the magazine in good enough financial shape for me to blow a ridiculous amount on a vacation?"). Watched the Braves mug the Cubs for their lunch money and stuff them in their own locker. Made fantastic french toast from the bread I baked yesterday. Took a nap. Now I think I'll watch the rest of Breaking Bad season 1.
