Even boring days are fun

[tummies]

I cite Ames's entry yesterday as evidence that we can contrive fun even on "boring" days where "nothing" happens. I'm going to give it a shot. First, go see The Puppy Channel hereI had DINNER OPTION #1 last night: the mug of tomato soup and mug of soy milk, chased by a hard-boiled egg and another mug of echinacea tea to finish. I am eating all my

I am:

-digging my thumb into my left eyesocket trying to relieve the nasty headache that's lived there since last night
-checking the calendar section of our June 2006 members publication for mistakes; trying not to fall asleep during said task
-playing phone tag with my doctor; trying to get an appointment to alleviate my terror that I may have a BUNION
-trying desperately to wait until at least 4:00 p.m. to eat the peanut butter cup i bought myself during my lunch break
-picking chicken out of my teeth, also from lunch break
-drinking a bottle of water every hour so that I'm forced to get up each hour and go to the bathroom, the only thing keeping me from falling comatose

wow, written out this looks like the worst day ever. it reality it's fairly unextraordinary. after work i'm going to the gym and then downtown to hear Dani do a fiction reading at a bar.
anyone else up to any fun tonight?

FYI: i made it to 3:32 before eating the peanut butter cup. not bad.

That is exactly the time I broke down and ate the gigantic igneous chocolate chip cookie I bought during lunch. I was trying to make it until dinner.

I am

--residually pleased by the impromptu picnic lunch I had in Central Park today because IT'S SPRINGTIME!!!!

--putting off going to pee, because it means either going up 4 flights of stairs to the department bathroom or going to the public bathroom, which is much closer but always chancy as far as what you might encounter (like last week when my coworker found shit smeared on the flush button for the toilet--which is on the wall a good 3 feet above the actual toilet itself)

--procrastinating like woah! by dicking around on the internet

--monitoring ebay auctions for several Rootote bags (those ones with the cute French slogans on them that come in all kinds of cool patterns). Suggestions on which one to buy are welcome.

--looking forward to Dani's reading tonight and to the upcoming weekend DIA: Beacon excursion

-throwing away papers from the early 90s to the sound of my co-worker freaking out that we made need to know who took out a slide of Picasso's Guernica in October 1994
