Blood From A Stone

So last night was fun. I'm starting to realize that hanging out with teenagers means I'm going to find myself doing things I did when I was a teenager. We've been bowling twice in the past few weeks, and last night we ended up in a pool hall I haven't been in for at least six years. If not for the company I think I would have found either one of those things to be much less amusing.

The Antioch Scavenger Hunt is coming up this Sunday. I never really like the scavenger hunt because I don't usually get to participate being the one that wrote it. This year we're short official drivers so I'll be driving a team which at least means I'm not sitting around for an hour and a half while the others have fun. So that will be cool. I'm not sure what's going on besides that, maybe something, maybe nothing. We'll have to see.

I've got a ton of shit on my desk, but nothing really to do. Just need to get some tidying up done in the office and then start to take a look at some stuff for next week. Need to get some cleaning up done around the house too. Going to need to rent that second floor out come spring so I need to get the first floor and the basement square pronto.

I just bought a scale for the first time in my life. Had to be a really big scale but it should be here tomorrow. It'll give me a way to measure my progress (or lack thereof). I begrudgingly admit it's something I should have been doing all along, but better late than never.

I'm still not done with Promethea and I still have to finish up reading Moore's run on Swamp Thing. I'll probably get back to the Nightwatch books in the next day or two and I'd really like to pick up a copy of Pineapple Express. It looks funny. I need some funny right about now.

It would be nice to see the guys too. Couple of us had dinner on New Year's, I saw Jere and House for about ten seconds the night before my birthday, and outside that it's been awhile. I just picked up New York Comic Con tickets for Jere, House and I. I have no idea if they actually plan on coming, but I'll certainly be there. It was a blast last year. So why not?

So, uh, yeah...that's about it. This is sort of my first clear moment today. My head isn't quite spinning out of control so I figure I might as well toss something up here that seems vaguely normal before I return to whatever it is that I am the rest of the time.
