... except that today, I actually did something constructive. Yes, for the first time third time in my newfound career as a guy pretending to be a writer, I actually wrote something. Well, to be more specific, I wrote a thousand words of something, then wrote a few hundred more in notes that highlighted the fact that the first thousand words were completely wrong and that I should have written the notes first, then written the first thousand words. Well it's a learning process, I suppose.

When I was done writing, I messed around in the metaverse game, Second Life, long enough to create an entirely new type of airplane that consistently crashes shortly after takeoff. It's sure to be a big hit.

That done, I settled into watching a movie -- Hercules, starring Steve Reeves. Yes, it's another unfortunate movie where the men wear shorter skirts than the women and the main character's voice is dubbed in a gravelly bass that never quite synchs with the picture. Actually, I found it hard to watch and fell to writing a rambling blog entry to fill the time.

Tomorrow, I plan to revisit my new story and then avoid entirely any movies set in ancient Greece. It's a hard life, but thank goodness I don't have to see the grey interior of a cubicle. Not until Thursday, anyway.
