Productivity
Things I have done this week:
- Worked.
- Worked overtime.
- Spent far too many hours cross-eyed over football (soccer) stats. Latin American football leagues have jumped the shark.
- Learned what a crazy bumblefuck used to rule Turkmenistan (he banned lip-syncing and recorded music at weddings, and he used the country’s gas moolah to commission a monumental golden statue of himself that revolves so that it always faces the sun).
- Watched Legally Blonde. Twice.
- Had a small plastic container thrown at me by a homeless person.
- Made and ate buttermilk pancakes for dinner (which I think are not part of my new year’s resolutions, but were delicious anyways).
- Have gotten no mail thus far. I think sometimes we might actually live in Italy. We get our mail when our carrier feels like delivering it.
- Procrastinated anything which requires effort or thought (such as real blog posts, several which are already half-written; at least one essay, which I started several months ago; a handful of phone calls I need to make; and two items of clothing I need to return).

current book: The Crystal Frontier by Carlos Fuentes. Honestly? I have no idea yet what I think of it. It’s a series of nine unrelated stories, and I go from love to hate within a single story. I’m trying to stay open-minded, as I’m only three or four stories in. The most interesting one so far involved a man who is served a multi-course dinner by a genie, each course being accompanied by a different woman.
current music: I’m going to try to catch Margot and the Nuclear So-and-So’s tomorrow night at Schuba’s. And I’m dying to listen to John’s Best of 2006 Mix, which looks amazing. (It will have to wait until my eyes uncross from soccer stats). I did listen to the Carrie Underwood song last night, though, just out of curiosity. It sounds like an old Reba McEntire song.
current socks: Light turquoise with 50s-style pinup girls.

can football “jump the shark”
i thought that phrase
only related to teevee shows…
or is it being pulled into
general vernacular?
also?
poor little rabbit.
According to the almighty wikipedia, “jump the shark” has indeed entered the general vernacular!
Speaking of productivity, you neglected to add “finish Christmas cards.” I received an especially cute post-Christmas card to perk up my otherwise absolutely shite-y holiday. ;)
I was sort of too embarrassed to mention them. They’re practically Valentine’s Day cards by now…
