Today I:
-used a battery replacement kit to replace the battery in my iPod only to find that it really is my harddrive. shucks. the good news is that with all the new generations that have come out since '04, the kit only cost $10 shipped. 4G iPod battery anyone (it's really only the size of your current battery that matters, almost all iPods use the same voltage)?
-attended the second day of a leadership retreat/classroom training. I wouldn't say I'm naturally contentious, though I probably reached a gigantor peak sometime around 17 and a new low last December, but I found a classroom setting really brings it out. Note to self: don't be a bastard.
-i read some book on group dynamics and role-playing and hats. I would just call it dumb, except that was some value in reading about different angles of contribution to a group effort. The 14-point font didn't hurt either.
-reached new heights of pain on the stationary cycle. Luckily, Jack McCoy and Serena Southerlyn were there to lend ferocity and inspiration, respectively.
-spent waaaay too long watching The Boondocks. That show is so badass.
-caused the collapse of a happy hour to do some work i probably should've done earlier. It'll be fine irregardlessly, but if this doesn't come out brilliant, I'm going to feel like an arse.
-finally put The King of Swing on CD. Why has this taken so long? Will it have the same calming effect in traffic? How will I resist the urge to pretend foxtrot?
-spent yet another hour scouring House of Leaves for a morsel of coherent, intentional meaning. I only found more insanity. I guess there was no surprise here.
And tomorrow?
Son of a bitch...
