The Importance of Being Idle

With Some Righteous Kung-Fu

Today has been nice, really just pleasant and relaxed and sunny. I've not done anything of any major significance at all, played video games mostly, and I'm about to watch a movie, and then if I can stay up late enough I'll watch the football (NFL stylee, of course).
So, what else has happened this week? Well, there's been a lot of trouble with a certain on again off again friend of mine, but I don't normally go into the details of my personal relationships here and today isn't gonna be any different, but lets just say that for the second time this week, she's not talking to me for no particularly good reason that I can see. My response today is "well, who cares?", I have other friends whose company I enjoy and who actually make me feel good about myself without giving you the queasy feeling that you're tip-toeing around a keg of something highly explosive and incredibly volatile. So I know which way I'm gonna go.
In other news... erm there isn't a great deal of other news really. The most exciting thing I've done is buy myself a new keyboard because... well for the past couple of years I've been using one of those ergonomic keyboards, y'know the ones that are all funny shaped? Well I can type really quickly on that one, but when I go back to a regular keyboard my typing is really quite pitiful... I feel unnatural and I peck at the keys usually missing more often than I hit. So I thought I'd get myself a regular keyboard, so I can get used to typing on one of those again, because, should I through some miracle get a job that requires typing, something office based perhaps, then I'm gonna NEED to be able to use a regular keyboard. Anyway, long story short, I saw some funky black Microsoft ones for a tenner when I was out shopping with Erin, and I bought one. I'm using it now, and its very cool. My typing is starting to get back to a decent speed, but I'm still not used to the spacing of the keys, so I frequently end up typing absolute gibberish...
Yeah, it's actually been a pretty good week, but I cou;ldn't put my finger on the why... I've been out a couple of times with fun people, I've played video games... I've just had a nice time. I suppose at some point I'm going to have to address the impending shadow of Christmas, it is after all, only two weeks away...
