I Just Realized I'm Obsessed With the Radio.

I got rid of my television when I moved here and haven't bought another one. So I miss all the TV commercials people are talking about. Big whoop. (Yeah, people still say that! Whatever!)

But when it gets dark at 5:00 just when you are getting off work and it's cold, your after work activities are limited. I read a lot. But that's not so much interactive. So Mike and I listen to the radio and play cards or board games. Cook dinner and wash the dishes. Argue over if we want to watch a DVD or not (me: yes; him: no), argue over whether or not I own good movies (me: yes; him: no), argue over whether or not he owns terrible movies (me: yes; him: no). Go back to playing cards or board games.

Anyway.

So I have discovered talk radio and how great it can be. I always used to think it was boring. If you suffer from this "affliction" as well (yes, that would be the talk-radio-is-boring affliction; it exists, so whatever), you should just get rid of your television and then run out of things to do that are free. You too will discover talk radio. Maybe.

I'm bored at work today because it's the calm before the storm of a big project I've been working on all week. I'd go into detail, but it's probably boring to anyone who is not here experiencing it. Basically I'm at an impasse, waiting for something to happen until I can keep going. Tomorrow is the big day. La la. And blah blah.

In case anyone who is reading is wondering why I'm posting here all day instead of working. I am working. Just kind of waiting too. Waiting to get sick, or to meet this deadline and be done with this week, or waiting for the sun to stick around longer, or who knows what else. The waiting game. It's what life is all about right. Hurry up and wait.

Ugh. I can't stand my whiny self today. UGH.
