Vanishing act

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Absenteeism, thy name is Maki. Sorry about that. Let's just say I've been busy and leave it at that. Here is my current priority list, in descending order so you know where things stand with me.

1. Work. I am the guru of our new publishing system at work. This involves working late and other assorted stupid crap, like answering the same question for the 300,000th time because I work with people who are 95% computer illiterate. Scary.

2. Watching gigantic-screen hi-def TV. Trust me, this thing is still worth every single penny I spent to acquire it. Of course, I've learned that cable is the great time waster. Cable devours time like Rosie O'Donnell devours small children. As in, really fuckin' fast.

3. Eating. Wish I could say I've been eating better, but I haven't. Bummer.

4. Working 2nd job. Did I mention I'm a dodgeball referee now? They actually pay me for it. Crazy, huh? I actually kind of like it. Good thing I have a DVR now!

5. Working out. Elbow is still messed up, so it's all circuit training and running on the treadmill for long amounts of time and long simulated distances. Matty grows lonely doing his "real" workouts solo these days.

6. Drinking, socializing and carousing in general. That's where my life is right now. Drinking and carousing are #6 on the list. I think you know where these usually stand, to get how far out of whack my priorities are. Sorry to disappoint, Holly.

7. Trading phone messages and e-mails with a potential. Sadly, it seems our schedules may never meet up since the last time our free time coincided and we saw each other was 3 weeks ago. Such is life. She was really cute, too. Oh well.

8. Sleeping. This is about where it usually is on the list. It might actually have moved up a few spaces.

5,476,493. Blogging. This has moved down the list slightly. As if this wasn't apparent already...

One day I'll write funny stuff again. Maybe. So, how has everyone else been lately? Anybody still check in here? Please say yes.
