How strange to hunger for some pure fiction reading as

I usually devour anything but that

yet nothing yields true in my quest to sate my mental appetite

even some of the Young Adult books borrowed for others

and ebooks is similarly lacking despite the many titles that come up

downloading Karmic Koala now, just 17 more minutes

but its too late to burn and reboot now

weekend you can’t come soon enough!

just one more day for the man

then two for me and mine

found a couple things cleaning, and thought of two things I can’t find

with all the titles in my home, not finding something to read for a few minutes before turning in is well

very unsatisfying to say the least

I go through the motions but don’t put enough of myself into those present moments so

some workouts and other exercises seem hollow

but better than not doing them

and certainly better than putting thoughts energy and time into negatives

one thing to slide trying to hold fast quite another to just run in the wrong direction

trying to build some momentum to slingshot around

the dark winter months

and emerge in the spring ready

rather than have to gather strength then and start from scratch

but running in winter is its own special discipline

dark and cold, dark and cold, step by step but what a way to start the days

with sunrises and serotonin storms in the brain, and those late afternoon lulls are weakening as my body and spirit grows stronger

but such noble habits are fragile and have to maintain the string

Seinfeldian chains and such

Run on S’s and T’s, short of that at least 3 days a week weather permitting mornings

that download meter lies as its still saying 17 minutes now

but maybe I’m in the dark territory of my home WiFi

and those packets keep colliding

an old game appeared in the mail from an ebay auction that thoroughly

entertained us a few years ago (and promptly the disk hid itself thereafter)

hoping its still fun, but not as addicting as it was those 100+ hrs the two last weeks of 2004

maybe I hook up the projector and we can play it on the large screen with the speakers cranked

for the full effect but patience for the right time

it would hardly fit into the schedule now with HW and world series but

there isn’t a game tomorrow night…

it could even be an inventive incentive to get HW done early for some gaming fun

I’d trade game time for TV time but

that Nova episode on Darwin teeters precariously on the edge of extinction on my DVR

and it behaves much better when its only 80% gorged with my TV programs

not much more frustrating than a weeks worth of shows recorded missing the last few minutes of each

so there will be blood, a disgorging of shows

and I finally found something interesting to browse

a book at ebook.nypl about influential characters that never lived

or fictional people that have influenced us like

the Marlboro Man to mickey mouse to Spock, now

morphing those guys together surely would make for a fun dance partner.
