My wife is going out of town for a week tomorrow. That means I'll have a lot of extra free time after work. So here are some things I'd like to accomplish with my time.
-Read Harry Potter 7. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm insanely excited about this book. I was a Harry naysayer until a year ago when I finally decided to read one of the books. I enjoyed it so much that I read the first six in two weeks. I'm going to purchase my book at midnight at the local book store. I won't start it till the next day, but this is my last chance to attend a Harry Potter book launch and look at all the crazies in their glasses and robes.
-Beat Transformers--it's a purely average game, but I had a free rental, plus Optimus Prime is cool.
-Play through NBA Street Homecourt. It came in from Gameznflix today. I really don't like sports games (or real sports for that matter) but for some reason I have played every single NBA Street and Fight Night to death, I can't get enough of them.
-Get most of the way through FFXII. As I said in my previous post, I've been avoiding this game since purchasing it a week ago. I think I might take the plunge after I'm done with Harry Potter. I might need the good story to lift me out of my post-Potter depression.
-Go see Rescue Dawn. After watching The Prestige a couple of weeks ago I'm willing to see anything starring Christian Bale. I'm interested to see what Steve Zahn can do too--Saving Silverman is one of my favorites.
-Go back to the gym. A slight back injury has had me out of commission this week. I jumped into the pool (on top of a floaty, I was trying to body surf with it) at my parents house and nearly snapped my spine. Not only did I almost paralyze myself, but I also managed to uphold my clumsy reputation. I've been going bonkers without my daily workout so I'm looking forward to getting back. Endorphins are good.
-Mow the lawn. Ughh...
-Work on my book.
-Call London. We're trying to interview Bear Grylls for the next issue of the magazine. Hopefully this call will go over better than my last long distance call. The echo on the phone made me pause because I would hear my voice and think it was him trying to interrupt me, it made me sound like a simpleton...
For those of you out there with spouses, how do you use your time when your significant other is gone? I always have high hopes, but I usually end up like the picture below...oh well, I can dream.
PS-I've found I really enjoy drawing these little comics. So you can expect them to increase in frequency.
