Here it is, another night where I arrive home from work on or after midnight. We weren’t even fed dinner at our evening meeting like we used to, so I ended up stopping at a rest stop on the Turnpike. That’s classy. Speaking of the Turnpike, this weeked the tolls rose an ungodly amount (as opposed to a godly amount, I guess). I’m considering going with EZPass since the tolls are cheaper. The only thing holding me back is a rumor I heard that they time you from the moment you enter the Turnpike until the moment you exit, and if your average speed is above the limit, they send you an automatic speeding ticket. I wouldn’t be able to deal with that.

To get away after robbing the bank of $8,300, she took the bus because she didn’t have money for a cab.

I’m beginning to despise Mondays.

This weekend I ended up on South Street in Philadelphia with Alissa. I think I would have enjoyed the experience more if it weren’t so crowded everywhere. There are many interesting shops around that area, but we didn’t get a chance to check them all out. We were supposed to meet up with Alissa’s roommate and some of her friends, but that never happened because my cell phone battery died. Apparently it doesn’t charge while the power is on.

Speaking of on, an electrician stopped by to take a look at the fridge, and apparently there was a problem with a circuit. At least I’ll have food now.

Here’s a website devoted to logging Ben Folds Five and related topics.

Dinner was very good. I think that I’m going to start spending some evenings during the week at my father’s apartment, since he suggested it. He lives a lot closer to work than I do, and I’m only going to get busier at work over the next six weeks or so.

Last night I didn’t get home from work until after midnight. I am crazy. Tonight I’m having a Rosh Hashanah dinner at my father’s friend Anna’s house. It’s nice to get a home-cooked meal every once in a while.

American Olympic^TM athletes are going for the gold in bed as well as in other sporting events.

Apparently, last night’s message never made it through to the web site. In any case, I accomplished my goal of not working on the computer at all last night.

And an update on the refrigerator. Mysteriously, now it is working. I’m not quite sure what’s going on and why it just works when it feels like it.

After working an incredible amount the past seven days or so, I am making a promise to myself not to work tonight. In fact, I’m leaving the office now to see the season premier of Buffy at Darren’s house, and then I will stay off my computer all night. I won’t even check my email.

I’ll report back in the morning to let you know whether I kept that promise.

Apparently my refrigerator has decided to stop working. The freezer didn’t see any reason to keep what it was doing since it wasn’t getting any help from the fridge, so it quit too.

This would be a problem.

Also, I was in my office for very close to twelve hours today. I didn’t even get a chance to leave for lunch. (But someone did bring me some, so I did get to eat once today.)

…And I can’t eat a second meal because my refrigerator and freezer don’t work. My computer also didn’t work when I got home, but after flipping the switch back and forth several times, messing with the circuit breakers, flipping the switch some more, changing outlets, and more flipping of the switch, it came back to life. Unfortunately, my fridge and freezer are still dead.
