Today's DAR: 6PP
So, for those of you who are interested, my house is still upside down. I still have large kitchen units sitting around the house unfitted. And there are still onions on the stairs, and a breadbin on the bookcase, like you would expect in any normal home.
Problem is that Andre the Kitchen Fitter (whose name makes you think he should be a gay hairdresser, not a Kitchen Fitter), was uncontactable on Monday. When he was supposed to come and fit. So he didn't. Instead, after much arguing with the head office, we now have a delegation from Kevin the Kitchen Fitter and his Team, who will arrive on Wednesday. Oh wait, no, they can't do Wednesday. They'll arrive on Thursday.
In the meantime, I'm still going to complain about nothing being where I want. Yes, I'm talking a lot about kitchens. That's because I've not done enough to make it worthwhile to comment on my day itself. I need to buy some bread and book a haircut tomorrow. Oh the excitement, I'll have to sedate myself so that I don't get into a hyperactive fit!
I may also get up early and watch the cricket. That sounds like a sort of useful thing to do. Well, not useful, but it's something and I'll be doing it. This post is meandering quite badly. So ... until tomorrow, when we'll hear more from the exciting world of kitchen fittings.

Home Sweet Home
Time Asleep Last Night: 03:45
Time Awake This Morning: 08:56
Yesterday's DAR: 16PP
Well, home again. Home on the range. Where the deer and the antelope play. At least in surreal ways they do, if by deer and antelope you mean me and my family, and by play you mean live.
Except this week my home has been turned into a kitchen showroom! Or so it would appear. We are getting a new kitchen fitted, exciting stuff I know. It was delivered in Wednesday, apparantly. And today it was to be fitted. As a consequence, we have everything from the kitchen scattered around the house; tins of pasta and onions on the stairs. All the glasses are stored on the bookshelves. Similar practical arrangements. And of course, we have the new kitchen units in a large pile around the house wherever space permits.
And then the fitter doesn't come. So I am living in this kitchen-themed maze for at least another two days. Summary: Gah.
Oh, I should be polite and point out that Vicky has started a blog and tell you all to go read it. Apparantly it's even quite good. Emma has also started writing one too, but who knows what the address for hers is, so I can't link to it. Actually, she does, it transpires, and she left it as a comment. It can be found here. Only other news for today is that Tim can't write URL code correctly. Cower in fear from my mocking finger, mere mortal!

Sloths
Time Asleep Last Night: 06:20
Time Awake This Morning: 08:44 [Major thanks to Taj here]
Daily Activity Rating: 16PP
Katie demanded I update this with this fact:
Young sloths are so stupid that they have been known to mistake their own limbs for branches and fall out of trees.
Thus concludes my update. Read it and weep.

Activity Regime!
Time Asleep Last Night: N/A
Time Awake This Morning: N/A
Daily Activity Rating: 15PP
High DAR rating today due to being up almost the entire day. So it'll make a big difference. Done lots of little bits and pieces and made progress forwards, which pleases me. Erm ... that's about it for today's useful update. Interesting stuff, isn't it?
I suppose at some point I should write these entries before I'm just about to go to bed, so I make them moderately interesting.
Here's an amusing link though: What Argos should sell.

Sunday Follows Saturday
Time Asleep Last Night: 05:54
Time Awake: 15:39
Daily Activity Rating: 11PP
Today was an active day; when I was up I did activity-like things. Not exciting, but then again when has washing ever been exciting? For that matter, when has cleaning and tidying been exciting? Nope, I agree with you. However, I'm in the mood now to be useful and make things work. To do things normally, to get my ass in gear to sound overly American.
Anyway, I'll see how long it lasts. I give myself until perhaps Tuesday at best.

Routine Approaches Normality! World Shocked!
Time Asleep Last Night: 01:35
Time Awake This Morning: 7:56
Daily Activity Rating: 18PP
I feel rather impressed with myself today, having been almost on a normal schedule in terms of awakening and asleeping times. This is abnormal, for me. And hooray for weekends that start at midday on a Thursday; always nice, even if it gets you evil looks and even more evil thoughts from those who are unfortunate enough to have to work on the Fridays. Well, ha to them.
Today's silly random insert is this:

Sod's Law: In Action!
Time Asleep Last Night: N/A
Time Awake This Morning: N/A
Daily Activity Rating: 10PP
So today was rather similar to all the other days. In that I have bugger all to write about. Oh, interesting point of interest, I'm so glad I decided to spend a good hour and a half this morning reading and making notes from the book I was supposed to read for today's seminar.
Because the seminar was absolutely irrelevant. I'm not quite sure what we were meant to be discussing [I think it had to do with cruelty and barbarism in Africa], but whatever it was it definately wasn't the concept of a universal morality, which was what it was. I feel somewhat robbed of an hour and a half. But half an hour of that was spent eating a mightily good breakfast, so there are swings and roundabouts.
Today's random link is definately worth reading [will take 10-20 minutes, but it's brilliant]. In my mind, it's absolutely hilarious proof of everything both wrong and right with the entire interweb. So, read on for the P-P-P-Powerbook story, which is linked at the top of that site.
