As school season rolls around, I find myself alone, at home, with nothing to do. I have recently graduated, been employed, then assumed the role of a quitter. Now, I am unemployed and bored, with a lot of time on my hands. And it looks like I am coming down with something, as my throat is all itchy and my gag reflex is acting up for no reason. I have taken this self-diagnosis of something wrong and made it into an excuse for me to not shower. At least, until maybe around 5 p.m. today.

Here are some of the things that I have done today:

1. Stuff my face with food and muddy, burnt coffee that my parents and brother left me.
2. Watch the last two episodes of How to Make it in America
3. Answered some e-mails.
4. Cleaned my RSS feeds! Kind of. I just marked most of them as read. Heh.
5. Internet shenanigans.

In the middle of this entry, my sister got back from school. But she is reading Plato now, so I don’t think I am allowed to bother her.

So, I am did a little bit of reading myself.
Caveat Lector: Dirty feet ahead.

(Currently: Michael Chabon’s “Wonder Boys.” According to my reading schedule,
I should finish it by today. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.)

But then I got tired and hungry.

So, I guess I should just take a nap and plan for greatness when I wake up.

What do you do when you are alone? I honestly don’t know how to deal with all this time I have, without feeling like I am wasting my life away, somehow.

(In case you hadn’t caught on, this is a cry for help.)
