Starting this week, I only work 4 days/week. I’m really excited about it. Although I really need the money, I felt my soul could only take so much abuse per week. And this way, I get to do more of the things I want to do: not going to work.

Lately my managers have been freaking out because the big H aka CEO of “segment of a book, synonym of purple” is coming to visit this Saturday morning. All the displays and merchandising have to be up to standards.

And guess what, I’ll be working that morning. FML.

I met the H once, about a year ago. She seemed plastically nice enough. What more could I ask for?

So along with my shortened workweek, I’ve decided that there are things that I’d like to start doing again, like reading and going to the gym.

I like pretty covers

The last book I read was Broken by Daniel Clay. It was a somewhat depressing, but very gripping book that made me cry at the very end while I was having my back tanned at the pool in Bali. No one knew because I had big dark sunglasses on, and the tears running down my face could’ve easily been mistaken for sweat.

I enjoyed it.

I’ve been meaning to re-start reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. The thing about reading his books is that I have to space them out because while his stories are always interesting, he has a really distinctive voice that really stays with you. So if you read his books one after another too soon, characters across different novels start to meld together.

And ever since Snuff came out in paperback, I’ve been wanting to read it too.

And he obviously knows the importance of graphic design because his book covers never disappoint.

I like hot bods

The last time I went to the gym was, well I don’t remember the last time I went to the gym. Except that when I went there was this group of teenaged boys (16-19ish) that thought they owned the gym.

They were loud, and one of them had the most annoying laugh. And really, no one cares which girl in school you would “definitely do because she has a fine ass.”

So I’ve decided to go back tonight. And I will update if I run into those adolescent boys again.
