The Stand

Last night was fairly quiet. I watched a couple of episodes of Peep Show on DVD and read some of a Stephen King novel called The Stand, a very long book in which most of humanity is wiped out by a deadly disease and the survivors find themselves being drawn into a supernatural battle between the forces of good and evil. It's a pretty good book. I read it before about thirteen years ago. It was turned into a TV mini-series in 1994.

Work was really quiet today. As usual on a Friday most people left really early, at around lunchtime, or in the early afternoon. By the time I left, at five o'clock, there were seven people, in a room that seats about sixty. I was listening to my iPod again (the Juno soundtrack, Tom Waits, Cowboy Junkies, Sixpence None the Richer, Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood and some Neil Gaiman short stories), however someone was playing a radio quite loudly that was kind of annoying.

I had some microwaved macaroni cheese for my dinner, which was okay. It's the weekend now anyway so that should be fun, hopefully. although it always seems to pass far too quickly. It always seems weird that when you leave work on a Friday evening, it seems like a really long time before you have to go back and then, before you know it, it's Monday morning again. Actually, that's not weird, it's just depressing.

I don't have any plans for the weekend, besides the usual stuff.
