No media for Brent : Day 2


Well today wasn't as bad as yesterday, but it still sucks not being able to use my Xbox, internet, or have any general knowledge of what's going on in the world outside of my house and work. I will admit that I have been following the cell phone restrictions somewhat liberally, sometimes talking or texting about things that aren't urgent matters, but other than that I have stuck to the guidelines. I woke up around 11 this morning, and briefly thought "Oh man, I'm gonna go play some Halo Reach Beta", until yet again reality struck, and my hopes were shattered. After that realization I put my head back down into my pillow and went to sleep. I awoke two hours later, and started my boring pre-work period of the day. Figuring that I had little else to do, I decided I would actually cook a meal that wasn't mac and cheese, hot pockets, or Top Ramen. Yes, I was going to do it. I was going to create...HAMBURGER HELPER. I glided through the preparation and cooking process like a professional French chef. Never have I been so pleased with something I have cooked. It was probably the most delicious home made meal I've had in months. After spending far too long cooking my lunch, I spent most of the day cleaning yet again, and getting a little reading time in before work. Sundays at work are usually pretty slow, and today was no different. I spent about 90% of my time there sitting at our table chatting with my friends Brett and Sean until getting off about 45 minutes ago. So now I'm here at my condo, being tempted by all of the fantastic looking bookmarks on my browser. From Facebook to Yahoo, Hulu to Myspace, I feel like a heroin addict staring at a nice bag of juicy black-tar goodness. That reminds me, I missed Breaking Bad tonight. I never miss Breaking Bad. Sigh* Oh well, I guess that will about wrap up what I have to say about my weekend without Media devices. I hope you all had terribly boring weekends as well, and I'll see you guys in class Thursday.

  1. I don't watch the show but I hear the last episode of BREAKING BAD was a really, really good one.

    A buddy of mine insists I see the show all the time. Maybe I'll do that one of these days.
