Reading the SDMB. Eating supper. Beef stew out of a can. Yum. Listening to MP3s. Current song: Bloodhound Gang, ‘Three Point One Four’. Typing up a response to a post by some Jodie-Foster-looking Swedish chick. Clicking the ‘Submit’ button. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by adam yax \* > Have you ever been to Spokane? I get the impression that there isn’t much to do there. Hey, I grew up in Spokane! I can solemnly confirm that there isn’t much to do there. Actually we’ll be staying in Twin Lakes, Idaho, with Mrs. Pluto’s folks. They have a big home on Lower Twin Lake, it’s August and it will be sunny. The only drawback is that my in-laws are too cheap to spring for a bed in their guest room that’s actually large enough for two people to sleep on. So it’s either cling to the edge of the mattress and fight for covers or sleep on the floor with the dogs. Woof, woof! ---

surfing the boards listening to M_A_S\*H playing in the other room thinking about logging off and vegging in front of TV for the evening Does it get more exciting than this?? ---

I’m currently sipping my drink, cracking my knuckles, listening to the sound of the TV behind me and scratching the chipped nailpolish off my fingernails. Oh how exciting. ---

Now I’m back at work. Went home, took wife and son to dinner, discussed weekend plans, determined we have to leave tomorrow night which means I have to get week’s work finished one day early. So here I am. Working. Sort of. Maybe I’m skimming the SDMB too. Nah, I’m working. ---

I’m talking to MSK about how much lint must like my cleavage when I’m involved in volleyball practice. [“I come home, and it’s like they’re saving up to make a sweater in there or something.”] Wandering around the boards. Drinking coke. stretching my neck. ---

At home, with The Tonight Show on. I just got finished downloading all the SD People Pages to my hard drive in case the site goes down and not able to get it back – took me over an hour to do, there were 257 of your beautiful mugs to download! Drinking a Molson Ice (go figure) and just hanging out on the SD. ---

I am currently reading the SDMB, bored out of my mind b/c nothing good is on TV and I feel too lazy to walk across the room to turn on the radio. I have my little computer candle lit, my iced tea beside me and I am looking for excuses not to go to bed yet. And that’s how a newbie spends a Wednesday night! ---

Reading the SD and feeling happy because when I got to work tonight they told me I could turn around and go home again if I wanted to, since it was such a slow night. 🙂 ---

I am at work. I am groggy. I should go and get some breakfast. That would involve moving, though, so I’ll probably put if off for a while. I am also attempting to fill out my time sheet, as today is Thursday, and Thursdays are Time Sheet days. ---

I’m at work. I need to pee. I’m looking out my windows overlooking the monument area of DC wishing I could be biking.
