I didn’t do anything special for Halloween.

I just didn’t feel like it. I didn’t go out, I didn’t make plans, I didn’t even drink. I spent the evening in bed with my laptop, hacking my server and reading select chapters from the Red Hat Linux 9 Bible. You know, as much as I hate to admit it, computers are my most marketable skill. I have a feeling that all this work towards a BA in Liberal Studies and my future MA in History will all be for nothing. I have a sinking feeling that I’ll end up doing computer work after college. Whatever.

I picked up my new shotgun this afternoon. It’s a Remington 870 Express Magnum with synthetic stock. It’s light, it takes all 3 size shotgun shells, and it’s mine. Just in time for turkey season too (starts November 8th). And duck season is right around the corner. w00t!

I might do a little last minute deer hunting with Scott up in D-zone Sunday. That’s up around Kirkwood, up highway 88. Sunday is the last day of deer hunting anywhere in the state, so this is my last chance. I’m hoping with all this cold weather we got recently my luck will change. If not no big deal.

Saturday night it looks like I’m going to drive down to Woodland for dinner with my sister and my folks. I haven’t seen my mommy since August–I miss her. I hope we go to Olive Garden. I’m in the mood for soup and salad.

And now it’s time to sleep.

Think I’ve started any of the reading, writing, or studying for any of the above yet? Not on your life…

I thought maybe if I put all this down on my blog, and I’m forced to read it, maybe I’ll get crackin’. Maybe. We’ll see.

Today I started to feel myself again. I’m still a little tired though. However, that feeling of fuzziness, like my brain wasn’t all there, has passed. I should be fine with a few nights of good sleep.

I went to the bookstore tonight to kill some time. I got a mocha and browsed the ancient Rome and Greece books. I spent some time with a Linux book. I met a girl there that seemed pretty cool. She’s about my age and pretty smart. I asked her for out for coffee Wednesday. She’s going to meet me at Starbucks downtown.

I got back in the gym tonight after having missed 4 days. Thursday night hurt me and I just couldn’t bring myself to do much of anything this weekend. Even today I had very little energy. I had to cut my workout short.

I’m feeling the stress tonight. I have many, many papers and midterms coming up in the next week and I’m running out of time. But I’ll get it done, I always do…

Time for sleep.
