I spent the evening helping a friend of mine do a little remodeling. I got stuck with cutting the trim for him. He set a saw up outside on the deck. It's freezing out there... the mixture of sawdust and snow stuck to me with every cut I made.

He didn't have lofty goals for the evening... he just wanted to trim out the living room area. When we were done at 9:30, we dicided to go off and have a beer and a late bite to eat (neither of us had eaten) at the local BW3's. Our server got us our beers and never came back... we sat for 30 minutes waiting to place a food order (actually, we only waited 15 minutes to place an order... the rest of the time we waited for her to come back so we could just pay for the beer we drank and leave). I can easily think of 5 things I would have rather done tonight:

5. NOT leave my place, watch "My Name is Earl", and stay warm.

4. Try to identify the green thing growing in the back of my fridge on what used to be Chinese take-out.

3. Gone Christmas shopping, searching desperately for something to get my parents (neither of which have ever displayed any interest in ANYTHING).

2. Shaved my head with a cheese grater.

1. Played a few rounds of "Literati" on Yahoo... (I think tonight would have been a good one... I can feel a lot of big words brewing in me. I could have won tonight... I know it. )

Don't get me wrong... I'm happy to have helped out a friend... the shitty service at the end of the evening fucked my mood for the rest of the night. Fuck it... I'm just going to go to bed and forget it all.

P.S. -- Day 3 with Steve Dallas in the journal for no particular reason... no signs of letting up anytime soon.
