glory be. people actually read this journal. they must like it as well, because several of them have actually asked me why i haven't written an entry since tuesday. i feel so loved. also, i feel like my privacy has been invaded. but it's in a loving way, i'm sure.

but seriously, folks. the truth is, i haven't written anything since tuesday because ... there hasn't been shit to report. i've been busy at work, coming home, working from home, eating dinner, exercising, talking to friends, watching TV/DVDs and going to bed. not terribly riveting, and definitely the antithesis of the stuff truly great journal passages are made of. but i'm getting stuff done, which brings a smile to my face. i'm especially excited about the exercising. it is, as martha stewart might say, a good thing.

there are quite a few things on my weekend itenerary. i want to catch a movie, finish writing the movie reviews for cat's site, open a few DVDs and put a dent in the book i'm reading. i'll probably end up coming into work for a bit, as i need to finish the gargantuan florida-juvenile section in the jails directory, and there's not much left to do. i also need to get some freelancing out of the way before i hear my editor's foot tapping. (it's not that she's impatient. it's that i procrastinate.) glen burnie was undoubtedly the most difficult part of the assigned stories i had, though, and now that that's out of the way, the rest should be cake.

i would just like to put two little things i found amusing into this space. even though my job basically sucks, it does have its funny moments. a coworker was editing a guide for an ophthalmology convention, and one of the doctors delivering a presentation there is fabio cassanova. fabio cassanova! that sounds too obvious even for porn. then, i found a contract facility in florida that has an ironic name: the kissimmee sex offender program. i mean, come on. of all the places in florida, does the sex offender program really have to be located in kissimmee?

i should also mention the hilarious porn spam e-mail i got yesterday. the subject line: "just turned 18 ... NOW i'm legal." the message body, minus the link: "PLEASE LET ME SUCK YOUR COCK! I'M AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW!" pure genius, whoever wrote that one. a nice change of pace from all the penis-enlargement spam i've been getting lately.
