Late on PQ

Well, I was going to get the PhotoQuest up this past weekend. Or at least by the end of May. Or at least no later than the first day of June. No dice. How about the second day of June?

Putting it On Paper

I've spent a good chunk of the evening today writing down every detail I could about last week. I ended up with over 10 pages of material. What will I do with this now that it is written down? I'm not sure; it is too raw to do much at all with. But, at least I have a record while things are still fresh.

I'm Baaaack!

Well, it is always a downer to be back after a nice vacation, but it was such a nice trip that I'm feeling pretty good today anyway. It was a great week, and being the week before Memorial Day, it wasn't too busy, although busier than it typically is the week before Memorial Day. The weather was mostly nice and unseasonably mild, which I appreciated very much.

I did wave when going past Rolla, did you wave back, Christopher? I like Michael's idea of meeting at the Hen House sometime. I thought about my blogging buddies of Bourbon and Rolla while I was enjoying my broasted chicken dinner there last night.

Adieu, For Now

I'm off for a few days of R-n-R in the Ozarks. I'll be back at the end of the week, so make sure the party celebrating my absence ends by Thursday so that you can pretend you really missed my daily posts.

Seriously, have a great week, y'all!

Charades

I've always enjoyed games like Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary, but I had never played Charades. I am no longer lacking in that qualification. It is a long story for another day as to how I ended up playing Charades today in the middle of the day (and outside in the glorious spring weather, no less), but it turned out to be an interesting middle-of-the-day break.

We had some interesting things to guess, such as “bureaucrat” and “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” — I'm sure you can imagine the difficulty of those two… Pictionary seems downright easy after this!

Busy-ness

• I had a 10 page analysis of Hamlet due that took a lot of time this week. Some materials I had ordered through inter-library loan took an extremely long time to arrive, which forced me to finish up later than I had planned. I also had to re-tool my thesis due to limited availability of material. Another paper was due as well, but I managed to get it in a few days early.
• I had a Greek vocab test, so I spent a lot of time going over the 150-200 words we've covered to freshen myself up on words covered several months ago, as well as to get down some newer words I had not yet really properly memorized.
• My grandfather and step-grandmother were in town.
• Continued computer issues that I've been trying to repair.
• Other stuff I can't think of right now.

It does not sound so bad, but I also had trouble sleeping this week, so I have been moving much more slowly than normal. I'm grateful that my clients did not need any work done this past week or I would have been going crazy.

Time Got Away from Tim

Yes, I did… it got away from me today. So, I guess y'all will have to wait until tomorrow to hear from me about what I've been up to. Sorry.

Better Late than Never...

In January of last year, my church started reading through the Bible to go along with a two year, all-the-way-through-the-Bible sermon series. To aid in this, we offered One Year Bibles, and I bought one of them. I intended to finish per schedule on December 31, 2004. As it turned out, I soon fell behind, and despite a few weeks where I read two days worth of readings at a time, I found it was hopeless. As it would turn out, I ended up three months and twenty seven days behind schedule.

Does that twenty seven days sound familar? If it does, that's because today is the day I finally finished. Sure, I should be over a quarter of the way through my second time around, but I'm happy to have made it through once. Tomorrow, I suppose, I shall start back on January 1; part of me thought maybe I should try a different reading schedule and return to this one at the beginning of 2006 (thereby again syncronizing my reading with the actual calendar), but I really liked how this Bible organized the readings and I don't think the dates matter all that much, so long as you can remember which one you did last (or use a bookmark).

At any rate, I'd recommend the One Year Bible to anyone looking for a convenient way to read through the Bible. I have the NLT version, but they have it in other editions as well. Even if it takes you the better part of a year and a half, I think you'll find it works out pretty well.

I'm So Tired I Can't Sleep

That sums it up. I'm tired because I've been working like crazy for the last few days, but my mind is racing from everything I've been doing and so I'm not really in the right state to get to sleep. I think I'm going to go read for a bit and see if that helps.

Though grand, the day does now grant to the night,
I call, 'Let sleep come on before the light.'

PhotoQuest

Well, I signed up last week to participate in Flip's PhotoQuest meme. I had good intentions to get the photos up a few days ago, but have not. I have completed the quest, but it is getting late, so I guess I'll have to defer for one more day… but tomorrow, prepare to be amazed. Or maybe not, after all, none of the pictures are amazing, so why should you be amazed?
