With the long break from work, I’ve been lazing around the house quite a bit. It helped that I got sick on Christmas Eve and didn’t feel like leaving the house for a few days, but now I’m recovered, and starting to get a little bit of cabin fever.
In the meantime though, I’ve spent a lot of time futzing around on facebook. I’ve come to the conclusion that Sitting on Facebook is like having a social life. Except you don’t have to wear pants!
Yeah, it might be slightly more sociable than locking yourself up in a Unabomber Shack, but it’s not really all that sociable. I suspect I’ll head out this evening to see some actual people in person down at the local watering hole.
Plus there are things to do around the house this week. Below is a short set of my facebook statuses from today, so you can see the kind of stuff I’ve been doing:
- Dave is making a to-do list. That’s like getting stuff done, right?
- Dave has moved on to prioritizing his list. That’s even more pseudo-productive, right?
- Dave is tire from all this list-making and prioritizing. Is it time for a break yet?
- Dave is done with his post list-prioritization break. Now where’s that list?
- Dave found the list! Oh, look at the time! I’d better make lunch plans!
As you can see, it’s just been a hotbed of activity around here this morning. I only hope the afternoon (after some lunch, and perhaps a nap) is as productive as this morning was! Speaking of which, I’d better get to it: it’s time to leave for lunch soon.
- My first (and second) pass on the list of 2009 Minnesota Gun Shows is done. Hopefully I’ve got most of them now and won’t have to do too many updates during the year.
- People who live in Minnesota are sometimes seen as odd among those living in the rest of the country. Witness: Great Lakes surfers pay no mind to frigid temps. The breaks on Superior are apparently only good in the winter when the wind’s blowing like crazy, and chunks of ice up to bowling-ball size actually make the waves better.
- It’s the end of the year, which means it’s time for the Dave Barry Year in Review: Bailing out of 2008. A fun few minutes of reading.
