SnooPING AS usual, I see!

Forgive me Lord, for I must resort to Internet memes for my entry titles.

Slow day again today. Went over the lines for that play. Did Pizza Hut for dinner, and boy, did I need that.

So apparently they're doing a study to find the most efficient way to build up watts on the Pokewalker without having to actually walk. Am I the only one who sees the irony in them putting in so much work into being lazy?

Today was another beautiful day, albeit a little cooler than I'd like. Still a good sign that spring is well on its way.

Finished "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter." An excellent read from start to finish. Sometimes you forget about the whole fiction thing and it feels like reading an actual biography. It helps that the biography bit helps it avoid the vampire thing from taking over the whole book. It does utilize interesting points from Lincoln's life, and from other bits of American history, in an entertaining way. I actually learned some stuff- for example, did you know that in the 1860s, presidential candidates didn't campaign for themselves, but their supporters did?

It's been odd, these two and a half months or so without any Doctor Who, just waiting for the Matt Smith years to start. It's an odd psychological shift from thinking of the Doctor being Tennant to the Doctor being Smith, because it's been a near-effortless transition in my mind. I think that's a strength of the show, really, in that it can make you believe so easily that the character can change his face and still be the same guy. Plus, compare to things like Bewitched or James Bond where they never mention the change- it's a big plot point in Doctor Who! He spends whole episodes recuperating! When you think about it, it's really a form of simple genius. But I do go on...

I've been feeling odd lately. I'm feeling a little... I dunno? Drained? That sounds more like a physical state. Empty? Nah, too depressing. I'm kind of... unfulfilled? That's the best word I can think of at the moment. I feel like I need to be doing something, but I don't know what. Like something's missing and I need to go get it.

Heard a great song yesterday. You can find it at this awesome music video for Chuck, one of my favorite TV shows.

But seriously, get out of my head and stop making my innermost thoughts into songs, Relient K! Geez!

(HeartGold status: Got to just before Victory Road. Mostly did some training and collecting of stuff, used Pokewalker, caught Lapras in Union Cave. Kinda been going a little more slowly recently)
