Bacon, egg and cheese Combo's are disgusting

Buuuuuuut someone left them next to my computer last night and I'm eating them now. Thanks someone.

I finished Atonement (and fixed the spelling in my list of books from "Atomement"). I'm still undecided as to whether or not I actually enjoyed the book. I think the idea of it is brilliant but, as I've already stated, it was just so slow with detail. There would literally be page after page of just detail. I've heard (but haven't struck up the nerve to actually check for myself) that The Old Man and the Sea is the epitome of written detail. I could be mistaken in saying that but I'm pretty sure that's correct. Anywho, after having read Atonement and knowing why it's written the way it is, it's difficult to imagine it being written any other way. I still haven't made a decision on this book. I'm glad I read it, but actually reading it was a pain in the ass. I think the movie made an excellent representation of the book. Had it not, I would've left the remaining third of the book unread. Maybe I just dislike Briony's cowardly character to the nth degree.

Upon finishing one book, it is only appropriate that I start another. I have a rather small collection of books so I'm back to re-reading old goodies. I've been meaning to re-visit The Chronicles of Narnia, so that's what I choose to delve into next. I have a huge paperback version of it that contains all the books of the Chronicles in the order that Mr. Lewis wanted them read in (the 'first' book was written last, etc.). While it is very elementary reading, it's still highly enjoyable. Oh, and all the fluff about religion surrounded the stories... I just toss that out the window and take the books literally. I've only opened it a couple of times for short readings, but I'm glad I choose these books to read.

When we move back to Sellersville, I'd love to get a library card. I was going to get one a couple weeks ago, but then I found out we were moving so going through the hassle of getting a card here and then getting another one in a month or two didn't sound worth it. At least I have The Chronicles... to entertain me until then.

Thank you someone else for the bag of Fritos you left lying around in my house. Fritos are better than those weird Combos.

Ah yes, I've discovered that third shift is a hoot. Well... until about 5:30a when the grumpy non-morning people start coming in. I spent a good two and half, three, three and half hours (I can't remember) putting away an enormous cigarette delivery. James (douche fag) didn't order enough cigs last time, so had to order double this time. It really wasn't that bad, it gave me something to keep busy with for a good while, I just like having another reason to dislike him. Gene and KT were my store mates, and who could ask for better doods to spend the late hours of the night and wee hours of the morning with?! Gene is a big fella with long hair, a dislike for church goers and always has something to say. He just talks and talks and talks... But in a good way. An entertaining way. And I know that if any drunken or trippin' idiot were to come into the store and start trouble, Gene would knock his block off. KT is just a nice kid. Kinda quiet, but he's always willing to help when I have questions and I don't think he's the kind to get upset very quickly. We had a few bogus customers, but nothing that I would consider extremely out-of-the-ordinary for that time frame. (There was a point in the night where a drunken guy used the line, "you gonna eat those mash potatoes by yourself?" to pick up a chick that liked his shirt. She said, apologetically, that her b/f was in the car. Don't know if that was true. Anywho, she took his number. Aw, a love connection between two attractive, wasted adults was made at my register at 1:30 this morning. Magical.)

The drive home was strange though. There have been a few times where I've driven home from someplace shortly after sunrise with the intention of sleeping, but there's something... different. Seeing the sun rise, knowing it's going to be a beautiful day, seeing everyone else going to work when I'm coming from work... it puts me in a mindset. I don't want to waste this day sleeping. I know that I can function on very, very little sleep, but for the sake of my sanity it would not be good to return to that. I was up at 2pm yesterday, got out of work at 7:15am today, and have only been able to doze for a couple hours. I'm gonna try and do a few productive things after finishing this blog, then heading back to bed. Maybe with my book.

I'd like to take the boat out tonight... but my arms and neck are sore and I'm outta gas. *sigh*

I need to drink some water. My eyes feel sticky from all the coffee I had at work.

I'm returning The God Delusion tonight. It's sad to part with such a delightful book :(
