All I Want Is A Couple Days Off

Well this is my last day of work for the calendar year, and by all rights I should have left by now. It can be bloody inconvenient to be a professional, grumble. The fact that MS windows seems to take forever to determine if a network directory exists or not is just one of my delays today.

I've fallen way behind in album reviews, simply because its freaking hard to do. Describing an album isn't so bad, but trying to write something for each track can be tricky. I usually end up deleting most of what I write simply because it gets too much. People just aren't interested in phrase by phrase analysis of a track, so I try to give the feel in a sentence or two. Which in some cases just seems so shallow. Nonetheless, I shall soldier on. It seems SOME people are reading this from time to time (though I haven't been as good with the updates).

So what to do this holiday break? Usually when I have a vacation I end up painting a room, which is a possibility. Or if the weather seems nice I might finally get around to replacing all the outside lights since the bulbs have burnt out, and replacing them is a pain. I seriously want to know who thought putting a small screwdriver into a black hole on black paint and completely taking the damn thing apart just to change the bulb was a good idea. Add to the fact that bugs do seem to wiggle in there through small cracks, then die, then their guts rust out said post. We're going with an open bottom. Appologies for all those who walked up to my porch after the ice storm in the dark. I wasn't being inconsiderate, the lights just don't work.

But frankly, the first thing I'm going to do is sleep, and lots of it :)
