Sunday is the
day for me to catch up on things. And yet I do all this stuff and it
seems like I have so much left to do afterwards. I played a bunch of
Diablo. My current goal is to get gold so that I can buy stuff to
create Griswold's Legacy. I finished the Cow Level so now I only have
The Gauntlet to do someday. I probably spent three or four hours
playing.
I watched some DVDs. The Bride with
White Hair, "Friends" Season 2 Disk 1 and part of Disk 2. I also
watched Stargate SG-1 and Crossing Jordan. That's another four hours or
so. I also watched the 49ers game, though I was doing stuff in the
meantime.
I continued archiving Pyramid. Got another eight weeks done. I have a
long way to go before I'm done. It probably takes me 10-15 minutes to
archive each week. The whole slide-down save file pane gets annoying
when you've done in several dozen times. It's just a two second
animation that wastes time. And it's quite slow if you have a lot of
processing going on.
Wrote up a review for The Bride with
White Hair. Wrote up yesterday's Journal (and of course I'm
writing today's Journal). Wrote up a review for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
If I write a lot it gets kind of boring. Can be a problem when I'm
writing yet another review of something that wasn't all that
interesting.
A couple of meals, checking up on the SJ Forums, email, a bit of
reading. It all takes a certain amount of time and then it's almost
midnight and I should be getting to sleep.

Of course this
is the time of night when I'm getting restless. I don't want to go to
sleep. But I should go to sleep. I want to get more things done. I want
to eat something. Or watch more "Friends". Anything to keep Sunday
going. So occasionally I keep going and then it's late and then Monday
I stay at home and try to work from here and don't get much done and
that's another vacation day used up.
I received a letter from Fastrak last week. It claimed that they had
tried to charge my credit card and it was denied. Strange since the
first charge was approved and my information hadn't changed. So I
thought this must be some sort of clever mail spam, that's how deluded
I am. I checked the address and it's a post office box to a certain zip
code, which is different than the zip code on the Fastrak web site.
Looked around a bit more. Well, here's another Fastrak address exactly
the same but with the zip code on the letter. So which address is
correct? Oh well, I sent the form back with my American Express and
Citibank Platinum credit card numbers. And then I checked my American
Express account and it had been charged like the same day the letter
was sent. Argh! Not much I can do about it since the credit card
companies don't update your online account every day.
I'm thinking of rearranging my furniture and books. But I need more
shelf space. And before that I need to sell a bunch of stuff to free up
space. So my game room is a mess with boxes and stuff that I've bought
that is starting to pile up. There's just too much stuff to do.
