What are you doing right NOW?

Right now, I'm going through a manuscript, meticulously counting pages and diagrams, whilst the sun sets through my window and I curse my weary existence. Every so often, I click on reload at CHUD.

It made me wonder how other people are currently spending their day. So tell me all about it. And is it as dull as the way I'm spending mine?

On deadline for Movie Insider #4, desperately double-checking release dates and ratings for theatrical and DVD reviews.

And occasionally touching myself in the basement.

Just had a late breakfast with my folks whilst I am visiting them for a few days. I just got back inside from drinking my coffee and watching their dog take a poo.

As you can see, my days are filled with excitement and wonder.

Just handed my boss some instructions, now I am waiting for him to give them back to me with more changes. Sometimes I wonder why he doesn't just write them himself.

Came home from work early with a huge migraine. Dammit, now I'll be behind for the rest of the week. "Of course, if you can surf CHUD, why can't you work?" Good fucking question, Voice in My Head, good fucking question.

I think I'll watch Suspiria.

To quote Micah..

"I have a job description, but it's irrelevant. I get paid to web browse, fill a seat, take up oxygen and to appear as part of the company. Every so often, I'm asked to interrupt this routine by rearranging some data, but they're courteous enough not to abuse this privilege."

That's about what I'm doing.

presently obsessing about sarah polley's new flick trying to dig up as much reviews as possible with yahoo. fishing for wide release dates.

about half an hour ago I met with a coit guy to clean out our air vents.

about an hour earlier I was eating pizza.

two hours ago I picked up steaks at safeway.

three hours ago I was playing some burnout and raised my ranking from 51 to #42 on the Airport Terminal reverse track. I ruled.

Now, I'm presently labelling the mix cd's to be sent to flyarz.

Working on the second draft of a story that's due Thursday, thinking about what kind of good thesis question I can ask the kids in the class I'm teaching for their next paper.

Oh yeah, and I'm also really fucking cold. What the hell's going on?

Oh I don't need to start a topic for *that*. I know you're thinking about me non-stop 24 hours a day. Which is only as it should be. It's the great and terrible burden of my existence, but I try to bear it bravely.

Anyway, to stay on topic, right now I'm sitting in my rather non-glamorous nightshirt about to go to bed, having just realised that my toenails need painting but it will have to wait till tomorrow. Hamster Boy has left his squeaky wheel and indignantly run into his bedding because I switched the main light on and he hates that.

I just got back from seeing "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" which I rather liked, despite its bad rep. I also saw the ROTK trailer in front of it, which made me unfeasibly and probably quite sordidly excited, to tell the truth.

In other news, I suspect that the cold folks are complaining of may have something to do with the advent of winter. I don't care, because the landlord finally got around to putting the heating on.

Fett, why don't you burn some of those boxes you're surrounded with for heat?

Right now I'm surfing CHUD and delaying doing any sort of homework that is awaiting me at my desk. I'm also working on the concept CD which will soon go out to Z-man.

But most of all, I am anxiously awaiting the weekend. It needs to come, NOW!

Trying to enjoy the last few hours of my day off, by simultaneously surfing CHUD, reading Michael Moore's 'Dude Where's My Country', watching the replay of 'Nip/Tuck' & thinking about when I will get to read the small stack of comics I bought today...

Surfing CHUD as I take a break from working up a shot list for Warner Home Video of the Behind-the-scenes documentary we're preparing for an upcoming DVD. It makes me want to pull my hair out.

Especially for Alice...

Right now, I'm working my way through 9 CDs of new Lord of the Rings imagery for the official Return of the King poster magazine I'm editing.

And you know what? Judging from what I see on my screen, I rather think this movie might be something of a hit.

I was doing that exactly 24 hours before your post. Well, not your philosophy assignment, but mine. Is it an intro class, or something more advanced?

We're going through the various "existence of God" arguments now.
