My new morning

I've really been enjoying reading my pal Matt's journal on Moon Station Foxtrot, and it made me think that I should try to do a little more journal-oriented entries here on WEBmikey. Of course, I have to keep my reviews going - I've kept that up for four years, so I can't stop now! But a little more "real life" entries would be nice, so here goes!

I'm trying out a new morning routine - the moment I get my butt out of bed, I get my shower and grooming out of the way first thing. In the past I would get up, surf my daily sites, watch Good Morning America, eat some yogurt or oatmeal, and then delay getting dressed until the last possible minute. The problem was that I would often procrastinate too long, and end up at work unshaved, half-toothbrushed, and barely awake. My new morning still gives me time to surf and goof off, but the dressing is completely out of the way! I even did it today, on a Saturday, since it's hard for me to develop habits if I don't stay consistent.

Today I did my laundry, went grocery shopping, saw a movie, and smoked a cigar (that Jonathan bought me last night on Congress) outside reading a Star Wars book and listening to the music from Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. I think I'm going to have breakfast for dinner tonight, then watch some DVDs. I should be studying Japanese much more today, but I think I'll hit the books hard in the morning.
