I Suck At Shoveling

yesterday was day two of the snow storm. i think i am going crazy. i have not left the house since the snow storm began... with the exception of going outside to shovel. i suck at shoveling. the snow never stopped yesterday. it seemed like karen and i have done nothing but shovel the past two days.

i guess that is not totally true. karen and i actually watched a whole slew of movies to pass the time. karen was even ecstatic for a little while because she made a martini that tasted pretty good.

here are the list of movies that i have seen while being cooped up during the snow storm:

spiderman 3
the mummy 3: tomb of the dragon emperor
3:10 to yuma
kung fu panda
kung fu panda: secrets of the furious five
horton hears a who

yes, that is a lot of movies in the span of two days. too bad my bff (kerry) was not around. we could have spent the past two days watching season 1 of veronica mars. that actually would have been fun. well... at least i think so. i don't know if karen or kerry would agree.

unfortunately, i don't know what it is. i just have not had any motivation to do anything lately. i don't know if it's just because i'm not into the holidays this season... or not into my birthday this year... or what... i just don't feel like doing anything and it somewhat bothers me. perhaps i am in a rut. (for anyone curious, i think the last time i was in a rut was during the whole "scourge of evil" era... okay, so maybe the ex-girlfriend doesn't deserve an "era".)

i just don't know what it is. normally, people relish having a day to themselves. i sometimes wonder if i have become someone who just needs a distraction to keep my mind off of things. after all, watching movies and escaping from reality for a couple of hours sure beats having to deal with stupid things like property line disagreements and all that. i'm guessing by the end of year, i'll have become a full blown coach potato... just not as starchy.

having the past two days being cooped up in the house would have been a great time to actually complete some home improvement projects too. the only problem was... the snow blower and the shovels were all in the way in the garage... so i could not even at least be somewhat productive during the snow storm. oh well.

i am hoping the snow storm will end soon.
