Real

today was spent largely waiting around for things that didn't happen. first i woke up at an ungodly hour to take my wife to work and took an exorbitant amount of time getting to advance auto parts, where i purchased new battery cables for the jeep. then i came home and awaited instructions from becky regarding the guy i'm supposed to be taking the jeep in to, because i don't know him and her dad recommended we take it to him and blah blah blah. so i read and read and read. then i find out at about 1:00 that it's not happening today.

so i read some more and do a bit of work from home, because i can't see myself going downtown to get a few listings done in just a couple of hours before christin comes home, which i'm waiting for. it didn't happen. i forgot that she was going to the pub after work. she walked there, which is good for me, because i'm feeling nauseated and a bit sick, so i crawl into bed and take a nap. then i go pick her up from the pub and eat food i shouldn't have eaten for dinner. i catch up on my youtube subs [down to 1 page again] while doing my daily random heroic.

then i get off the computer and sit down to read again. between last night and most of today and a lot of tonight, i'm now finished with mockingjay. and i realize now that i've read it, that the book mirrored my day. every sentence i read, every chapter that passed by, i was just waiting for something that never happened. i was waiting for that moment in the book that brought me to the place the first book had me riveted, waiting for more... but it never really came. it had its moments, but it was overall too disappointing. if you haven't read the series, do. it's good. the ending was just a bit too realistic for me.

in technical news, i got approved for adsense today. so you'll see tiny ads on this blog now. why they think this blog was important enough to get ads placed on it, i've got no idea, but i'm not going to turn it down. since i work part time and don't make enough money, the thought of making a bit of it through something i enjoy doing is something i'm going to pursue. i've also been approved for revenue sharing for one of my youtube videos, the dan brown one, which is weird. it makes me think that i may be onto something. i may make a video tomorrow talking about it.
