snoozing and losing? maybe just snoozing.

i woke up around 11am, called the woman i'm working with, didn't get a response, so went back to sleep.

until 3pm.

i'm AMAZED.

i had breakfast, watched indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark (for the first time). great film! spent the rest of the evening catching up more on web stuff, and playing counterstrike.

i had a looooong and unpleasant argument with my sister over one of her kids' struggles with finishing high school. i've mentioned before my intense lack of appreciation for the currently accepted methodology for education, and she didn't get what i was on about.

it also annoys me that the kid won't read. he LOVES harry potter, which - last time i checked - falls into the category of fantasy. but he simply refuses to read any other books, fantasy or otherwise, and both my sister and i have been trying without success to convince him to pick up a book from terry pratchett, robert jordan, j. v. jones, neal stephenson, etc.

this story kills me.

i walked to the lizard, spent a good half hour shooting the breeze, then returned. i'm about to shower, possibly crash. i am tired.
