Can somebody please explain to me why the hell I stayed up 'till 3a last night? Because I don't remember actually accomplishing anything except for finally getting past Level 42 in Snood.

I mean, I accidentally watched a whole episode of the loathsome Emeril, because I kept thinking why bother to switch, when I was about to go to bed, you know, after I play just one more game...

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I stayed at work until 10.30p, also for no good reason, because I didn't do a scrap of work after 8p (the time I am putting on my time sheet, let me make perfectly clear.)

One night of no rehearsal and I get all idle and staring into space. Or maybe that's my natural state, and I've just forgotten.

O yeah, it is.

I forgot, when I was touting Nobody's Fool yesterday (has everyone rented it yet?), to recount my favourite dialogue section. Sully (Paul Newman) has had a misunderstanding with his friend/employee, and the friend/employee is sitting, sulking, on a stoop. Sully sits beside him.

SULLY
You'd better get up from there, or your dick will freeze to the top of the step. O yeah, it doesn't reach that far.

FRIEND/EMPLOYEE
Neither does yours.

SULLY
That's because I fold it. You wanna know how many times I fold it?

I've spent the past couple of days repeating that to everyone I know. Maybe if they had used that as that tag line, the film would have made more money!

I got a present from a reader yesterday!

The other day, he asked for my address, because he wanted to send me something (someday, it will be someone appearing at my house with a big knife, but so far it really has just been presents), and do you know what it was?

Soap: Making It, Enjoying It!

It looks like a great book, lots of fun, but as I told him, if I'm now going to spend all of my nonexistent free time making frickin' soap, I'll be really annoyed! The last thing I need is another fascinating, all-consuming hobby.

But it sure looks interesting...

Speaking of great books, I just finished one of my Christmas books that I got from Never, which is so absolutely wonderful that I must get you all to buy it immediately.

Do you like travel writing? Do you like food writing? Do you like personal narrative (well, duh)? Then you will love this book! It's called Feeding Frenzy: Across Europe in Search of the Perfect Meal, and it's about this fellow, Stuart Stevens, and his friend-who-is-a-girl (not girlfriend), Rat Kelly, driving across Europe in a Mustang convertible, eating at all 29 three star restaurants in consecutive days, and it's hilarious.

I think it may turn into one of those books, like Operating Instructions and Time and Again that I buy for everyone in sight because I want them to have the experience of reading this book for the first time.

You are striving to balance work and play within your relationships. Don't go overboard with impulsivity or discipline.
