I need to make sure I take note of how today went, so I can repeat it in the future. 

Basically, I biked back as usual – doing my Polish lesson.  Then I got back, got cleaned up and started work.  I put in about an hour, doing a few small things, then stopped and cleaned up some stuff in the kitchen.

Then I did a little bit more work, then stopped for lunch, watched a show, and did some more housework.

After that, I went back to work and put in about another 4 hours.  Once I had finished with the section I was working on, I took out the trash, and walked across the street to the local delikatesy and grabbed a few things.  The whole way I had my ipod, and I did an Italian lesson.

So, I’ve got just over 6 of my 8 hours in, and Jess has some work to do when she gets back, so it should be pretty simple for me to get in another couple hours.  Just breaking up the hours a little made me feel so much more like a human being, plus helped to not hurt my neck and back as much either.

I also got to do a little photo editing today, which felt nice.  I haven’t been able to do much graphic design work in a while.

Anyways, just thought I’d share that.  Now I’m off to get some dinner.

Things picked up a bit more last night once Jess got back from her craft night.

She cooked the dinner (Peanut Chicken.  Yum) and cleaned up the dishes while I unloaded the washer.  My plan had been to finish the chores, then take a stroll around the block.  But dinner and a movie sounded good, too.

Anyways, we watched the first hour-long double episode pilot of a show based on a series of books Jess and I had both read.  The show was originally supposed to be named after the first book (Wizard’s First Rule), but we found out it was named The Legend of the Seeker instead. 

This name change was a bit more obvious after we watched the show.  Neither of us were thrilled with the casting, and the plot was very different from the book.  But somehow, after it was over, I found that I enjoyed it and I was anxious for the next episode.

I needed to detach myself from the plot of the books before I could enjoy it.  There were a lot of changes that felt like they were just dumbing the story down, and weren’t really necessary to make it work as a show.

But, either way, it was pretty decent, and I had a pretty decent rest of the night.
