Long Sundays

What is it about Sunday afternoons that are just majorly boring? I mean time stretching out endlessly, nobody around to play with, never ending silence kind of boring?

Obviously, you live in sort of parallel universe from mine. I've been running since I got out of bed, and I won't stop until I get back in tonight.

Got up this morning, made breakfast and answered my mail. Then, My son and I had to drive about 25 miles north today to visit my grandson, then I came home, dropped him off, went back out a few minutes later to the store for something we needed for tonight's initiation ritual. Now, I'm cooking dinner, then we'll have ritual, then weekly coven which lasts until 10:00, then I have about an hour's worth of work to do on some government forms to make sure my son keeps getting his Social Security disability payments.

Today was just that kind of day for me. All I've done today is watch TV and read a book. Thought about running an errand....and decided against it.

Actually we will be going out to dinner in a little while, and maybe going to a store.

So far, it's been a very restful day, same as yesterday. My only complaint was that in the BCC (big comfy chair) I picked to read my book, I didn't have a CD player set up nearby.

I'm going to fix that....tomorrow.

For me it's Friday nights, if I'm alone, and have no date, and no prospect for one.

I've been noticing that the things I used to do to pass my time are now boring me. I'm in the higher levels of Dark Age, so the levelling takes forever and is boring as hell. I bought Heroes IV and almost fell asleep. I bought Warcraft III and I'm on the last scenario.

I bought Age of Mythlogy, and it held my interest for a scenario or two, then I was bored again.

But....I just bought myself a Yamaha keyboard, and I've been working on Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata. MS is not going to be doable because I only have 61 keys to work with, but Fur Elise is coming along nicely.

But even after an hour or so of that, I'm bored again.

I try reading "solitude" and get 50 pages farther in with no better understanding.

And this is all week long. Any suggestions?

Even that sucked ass.

You have to understand ... I've watched the Malcom X documentary on On Demand twice already (but only because I saw Circus Freaks three times)

There was truly nothing on ...

I have Digital Cable. I have the entire line up, all the Premiums, everything. For about $30. 172 channels. And nothing on to hold my attention.

You work for the cable company and they charge you, even if a nominal fee that's lower than most people's basic plans with no converter, for the service? Unbelievable.

I was going to provide the obvious answer here, but to save poor sycamore's sensibilities, I decline to do so at this time.

Yeah, but I get half off my HSI, so I'm actaully pretty happy about that. I mean, they COULD charge me full price. That's about $120.

There are so many ways I could respond to that, so I'll just not, and that way me and Rho can stay virtual friends.
