Heh. Take a week off, and I don’t have the time to update my diary. I got two anime DVDs in the mail today; the Project A-Ko “Love and Robots” disc, which contains Project A-Ko 2 through Project A-Ko 4; and the first 13 episodes of Digimon on one disc. Sadly, the Digimon disc is limited to introductory episodes; very little really good stuff. Still, they had some really cute “bloopers” (“Uh-oh! […]

I knew when I woke up this morning that I probably wouldn’t have much time to myself today. I decided to make the most of the day, though, and refrain from complaining or feeling depressed about it. I woke up late; about 11:30 a.m. Dad and I went back to the airport and had excellent steak and cheese sandwiches at a little deli there, then exchanged our European money back into dollars (the currency exchange office […]

‘Twas very productive today, despite early yearnings otherwise. I started out with devotions on my deck, then I worked my way through two chapters of Jan Karon’s At Home in Mitford. I had trouble motivating myself afterrwards, though. I just didn’t want to do anything. So, I made a list of the things I wanted to do today: Do the trash Get perlite. What’s perlite? It’s a soil additive; I’d heard of a guy who kept […]

Skipped church this morning.

Spent most of the day in the garden, and ended up treating my parents to dinner at a local Irish pub. Had a great time.

Our breakfast turned into an all-day trip to the mall. We just shopped and wandered around, eating ice cream cones and buying lots of little things. It was a great way to spin down from Thursday’s anxiety.

Woke up this morning to find my stomach an aching pit, and my mind searching for ways to bail out of the trip. The human penchant for nervousness can be an annoying thing. I’d gotten over it by the afternoon, though; by then, I was just excited. Excited-nervous, but excited nonetheless. After going over my e-mails, I went outside and pulled out the lawnmower. I had decided to cut the lawns shorter than usual, so as to have that much […]

Tomorrow at about 5:30 p.m. I’ll haul a backpack and a video camera onto a jumbo jet bound for Paris, France. My stomach has that curiously empty feeling I get when I’m truly nervous. I’m not hungry, though, which is good. I almost always get ravenous when I’m nervous. Today was pleasantly productive at work. I had a number of last-minute jobs to take care of, but had plenty […]

I and my parents will be leaving for Europe this Thursday. We’ll spent two entire weeks on another continent. Weird. It’s so close now. I do plan on using a few net cafes while I’m over there, and updating this diary from those. I hope to be able to write beautiful prose about the cities I’ve visited. Yeah. Sure. Anyvay, I’ll also be checking a personal e-mail address from […]

Today’s Memorial Day. I’ve been pleasantly productive, as it happens. I wrote some more of my modern-day short story, finished Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone (read my review), and planted several things in the garden. I also updated my garden diary scripts to display images before and after the gardening update, if appropriate images have been uploaded. I hope this will encourage me to take more photos of my garden, as this will provide […]
