I’ve made it halfway!
Halfway through what, you ask? and at 3:00 am?
Work. That’s what. Graveyard Shit Shift.
Someone quit without notice, and I’m taking one for the team, cleaning up the last of the mess. This is really the only impact the whole thing has had on me, and I volunteered for it anyway being more interested in what the shift was like than anything. It also means my weekend starts at 7:00AM this morning. Not too shabby.
Surprisingly, I’m still fairly awake (touch wood) and not feeling too bad, considering I’d much rather be buried under a bunch of blankets than in an office chair.
My only complaint: I polished off the last half of the most excellent book I’ve read in a long time. Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It’s Mark Twain meets Rudyard Kipling meets Salman Rushdie. Absolutely Amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this book. Just go read it. You’ll love it.

Everybody seems to be reading that book right now. I picked it up at Superstore the last time i was there for no reason other than a vague rememberance of hearing something about it somewhere (and who knows what it was i heard, since i sure as hell can’t remember.). Well, that and the cover is pretty.
I haven’t picked it up though, reading other things right now. Good to know that everybody thinks it’s worth reading though.
You have now officially been annointed in the “Graveyard Club”!
The other sucky thing is that I was so preoccupied about what was going to happen next, that I glossed over a lot of the finer details. This one is going to take 2 or 3 reads to get everything out of it, for sure.
The worst part about Life of Pi is realizing you’ve come to the end, and you’ll never be able to read it again without knowing how it all ends (and what that crazy island is all about). I envy anyone who’s reading the book for the first time.
