WHOLE LOTTA NOTHIN’
That pretty much sums up my weekend! After being a recluse most of the week, excluding Monday night’s SHINEDOWN show excursion, I actually wanted to crawl out of my hole for a little while so I went shopping with Rebecca. Granted I was broke so I had to mooch moolah off my ex-girlfriend - hey, I’m classy! We grabbed some grub at Doc Cheys then went to see what was new on DVD at Best Buy. Of course, there was nothing worth adding to my personal collection but Becca picked up Waiting which was on sale for like 5 or 6 bucks. We then went over to Barnes and Noble because Becca, being the avid reader she is, needed some new reading material. I looked around to see if I could find anything that might entertain my incredibly short attention span long enough to actually finish. I came upon Hell House by Richard Matheson and was quite intrigued. I had read I Am Legend back in college (long before the Will Smith film adaptation) and really loved his writing. Mr. Matheson has also penned Stir of Echoes, What Dreams May Come and even some scripts for the original series of The Twilight Zone.
By the time we were done at B&N, it was nearly 11 so we parted ways and I crawled back into my cave to stay for a vast majority of the weekend. Sunday was my only day to venture out to see my mom and aunt for Sunday dinner and later to take care of the Planet’s premiere local rock show Upstate Unsigned.
Outside of that, I remained in my darkened apartment playing Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube (no Wii in my pad!) since I can finally get somewhere in professional mode, playing my handheld solitaire game, watching episodes of My Name is Earl from the first season DVD and occasionally turning on a lamp to read Hell House. Oh yeah, and I occasionally stepped out to feed!
I have no life to speak of and I am quite proud of that sad legacy!

Todd, I sure as hell wouldn’t say you have no life. It sounds exciting to me. I’m not much of a reader either. But the books you speak of sound interesting.
