I'm starting to get some control over my life, my everyday. I've been getting up earlier and getting my exercise out of the way first thing. Two days a week, I have a Martial Arts class at 9am. This makes for a great start to the day.

I do chores up until lunchtime. Again, trying to get them out of the way early. It gives me a sense of accomplishment, and also keeps my spouse happy.

After lunch, I check Email, browse job boards, get discouraged, and then play the guitar for a whil to cheer up. Or do more exercise.

Then, I work on my UNIX course and other new learnings, and try to come to terms with the fact that I am trying to find a job in a new area of technology, armed with new knowledge, but lacking a bit in experience.

I read or take a nap until it's time for dinner. I have started to try to get more reading done. Which is easy, because the TV shows I like (what few of them are left) are mostly on summer haitus, and everything else I see are just horrid shit.

Evenings are nights are either baseball pracitce or a game for Ben. I keep score for the team. I go to a Martial Arts class some nights.

And I write at night. This is when it's quiet, and I am in the mood. And easier with the TV off.

The only show I am watching that still has new episodes is HARPER'S ISLAND, which is delightfully scary and twisted. Kinda reminds me of TWIN PEAKS, but the people are not as odd. There's only one more episode of MEDUIM left, so Monday will soon free up.

Maybe I'll start writing about some of the idiots on TV that are getting new shows. Examples: Tori Spelling and the Kardashians. I actually owe them thanks, because they've motivated me to giving up TV altogether.
