Today is day two of my pseudo-vacation week and it's going fine. I cleaned up the bathroom thoroughly yesterday and started picking up other parts of the house and today I am going to clean up our living room. Our house is a disaster right now. It's probably almost as messy as it has been since we've moved in! Dang.

Despite the searing cold, I managed to bike to the Y last night for the first time in something like twelve days and it felt great. I started doing bench presses for the first time ever in my exercising life and man! It sure felt weird. I am going to try and change up my routine a little and strengthen some muscle groups that I haven't been working on much. We had a really great (though late) dinner of curried veggies which we zested a good amount of lemon peel into with my new zester and MAN was it delicious! Viva la zest!

It seems that I am going to get a promotion at work. Huzzah! I have been feeling pretty unmotivated recently, between the drag of the lack of customers and the seeming indifference of some of my coworkers, so this is good. A little extra dough would be nice, too.

We did a six-man draft at Redcap's yesterday and it was alright. Good dudes showed up and my deck was solid, but I had a REALLY disappointing last game in round three wherein I didn't draw a land on nine consecutive draw steps. I love Magic sometimes. There were some contractors tearing apart the video store while we were there, which was kind of cool to be present for. They had, however, propped open both of the doors and the heat was off, so it was quite a frigid draft. I am excited to see the new space, at any rate.

I just checked IMDB to see what is coming out on DVD this week and the biggest title is "The Final Destination". Dang. Next week is the release of both "The Hurt Locker" and "Moon", so that's exciting. Why the heck is there so much promotion for "Legion"? I remember seeing the trailer for that like six months ago, and it's not even out until the end of this month. Ah, I should probably be putting this stuff in TGGYH, which I will be updating later today anyway. Bah!
