In which I waste the whole day doing “nothing”
July 25th, 2010 at 5:20 pm ET
I actually didn’t wake up that late, but I got up, went out into the steambath of a day to get the Times, came back in, made coffee and read the whole thing, then decided I’d play a few turns of Civilization IV. Four hours later (!), here I am, sitting on the couch being licked by a cat, eating toast made from yesterday’s bread, catching up on a little blogging as I listen to Kathy Griffin talking about her vaginal makeover.
I don’t know why I shouldn’t have days like this — and weather like today’s, nasty and oppressive and miserable, is the perfect day to stay indoors in the A/C and have one — but I feel vaguely guilty about it, as though there’s something More Important I should be doing. But there isn’t; it’s Sunday, so why not? Besides, this is life, as much as the stuff we do weekdays from 9 to 6 is. Right?
Bonus photos: current game of Civ IV. I’m playing green.
