Man, it's been so damn long since I've had a chill out at home and FUCKING RELAX sort of Saturday. The ones that usually are preceded by the kind of Friday where I and the boy stay up way too freaking late goofing around, watching TV and having grown-up fun and so end up sleeping in until noon.

Watched the Hope for Haiti benefit and the Conan sendoff last night. Classy, classy affairs, both of them. Conan, I never watched you until this week, but I can see and acknowledge that you will be missed. Thank you for using your last show to point us all towards how to help Haiti, and for making your sendoff a joyous party rather than a bitter shitstorm of wtf. And that performance of Freebird? awesome on so many levels.

I am making a concentrated effort to not fall into my usual pit of cantankerous cynicism, which is understandably harder than usual. But I find it helps if for every time my brain whines about how my life is awful to answer back "well, what can you do to make it a little better?" and then doing it. Usually it's stuff like "take a shower" or "clean the room" or "eat a snack" or "work on Nuke's project." I guess, trying to shift my focus from the big huge intimidating things that are fucked up right now to the little things that are fixable. Hopefully little things add up.

Gotta run the roommate to amherst, then off to hang with
