BLAH

This morning, I see all the signs of a BLAH day. Not that it will be a bad day...just a quiet, unremarkable, unexciting day.

It's also fast becoming a "let's get it over with" day. For example...

1-- I want to watch the season finale of The West Wing and the series finale of Angel. I just want it over with, so all my waiting will end, and I can write the damn reviews.

2-- I want Paul Martin to call the election and just get it over with. It's getting annoying, going through this phony war-waiting period...much more so than it was in years past. Just start the damn campaign -- I have no interest in feeling like Europe waiting for the Blitzkrieg...

3-- The sun is shining, compared to the dreary, rainy yesterday that half-ruined some usually fun school activities. I was actually looking forward to my annual first-sunburn-of-the-year...and I didn't get it! BLAH to the weather...give me my dose of ultra-violet light and get it over with.

4-- I want September to roll around once more. Not because I'm a masochist who doesn't want his summer vacation. I want my raise, so I can afford my new car payments and the new health premiums all Ontarians are about to pay, and still have some spending money left over!

5-- I want to finish my marking, but this past week has felt like I've been pulling teeth through thick syrup trying to complete this more-irritating-than-usual task. Maybe summer CAN come before September after all...

Maybe I should do something profound, like find the meaning of life or contemplate the heat death of the universe. Most likely I'll simply go back to reading my morning newspaper...
