Last night when I got home from work I opted to do something that I only do a few times a year: order a pizza.
I went with that new thing from Pizza Hut with the cheese-filled crust.
Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, the pizza was not delivered by Jessica Simpson.
Still, it did get delivered pretty quickly, so that much, at least, was a plus.
Knowing that I had dinner covered in the form of leftover pizza today, I decided that I wasn’t going to go anywhere, leaving the shopping and whatever else I might do out in the world for another day.
I did go for a short walk in the afternoon, though, and found that I do have nearby access to the W&OD trail system, so that’s a plus, if we assume that I can manage to get myself back into the habit of walking, which will, ideally, get me back into the habit of working out once again.
On my way back home I stopped to get the mail and found that I’d gotten my refund ($105) from Adelphia, as I’d paid more than I owed when I left Ashburn.
So that also was a plus.
Beyond that the day has been pretty uneventful. I first woke up a bit before 7 and said, “Screw that,” managing to force myself to go back to sleep until a bit before 9.
I had been very tired last night, as I’d had a lousy night’s sleep on Saturday.
This was precipitated by my having this randomly bizarre dream about the remake of The Hills Have Eyes. I woke up from the dream a bit after 1 am feeling a bit freaked out and found myself lying there alone in the dark with thoughts about all of the various movies about psychotic killers who lurk in the shadows coming unbidden to my mind, so getting back to sleep was a near-impossibility for about an hour and a half.
Once I did get back to sleep it wasn’t entirely restful, so it made for an extremely long Sunday once I got up for the day.
Things continued to be on a downturn after I got up, as I found that the first twenty seconds of every track on the CD I’d burned the night before were jacked up, making my drive in extremely irritating.
That it was an inordinately slow day didn’t help matters any.
As most of what I watch on Sundays either wasn’t on or was a rerun, I actually started on a new picture last night, one which I spent much of today working on as well.
Once again I’m playing around with the technique similar to the one I use for my “Naglesque” pictures, but overall I’m going for an Adam Hughes effect.
So far it’s working, mostly, but I need to find a better way to achieve the desired effect, as the current technique I’m using takes a long time and makes for extremely large files.
If I manage to finish it tonight I’ll post it.
In the meantime, I suppose I should try doing some more work on it.
