I didn't come anywhere close to waking up early this morning. Technically anyway. I woke up several times, starting before six o'clock, thanks to the dogs barking at absolutely nothing, but I went back to sleep each time. Or at least continued laying in bed, thinking about things.

After lunch I went with my mom to dump off a bunch of cardboard at the recycling place. Then I went to Target and Pet Co, stopping on the way home to mail a letter and schedule a haircut. She was able to get me in about thirty minutes later so I went home for a bit and then went and got my haircut. It was much needed. I don't like the fact that I am losing my hair and that it has thinned out quite a bit on top, but I do like getting my hair cut short. I think it looks better and I can drive with the windows down and it doesn't get messed up. Twenty dollars well spent, although I still think it should go down in price relative to the amount of hair on my head.

When I got home from the haircut, I watched some Battlestar Galactica and eventually ate dinner before going to work. On Battlestar Galactica I made it to season four and finished the first episode, which I believe was a two-parter, hour and a half thing but they bunched it together on Netflix like it was a movie. The show does a really good job of making me really dislike characters but giving them enough redeeming qualities to make me feel sorry for them when they die. It keeps happening over and over again. I think after I finish the series I may watched the failed half season of Caprica. I watched an episode or two of that when it was on TV but I think it will make more sense now that I have seen Battlestar Galactica.

At work I did the same old thing. I forgot to copy the pattern for my sister's name so that was annoying but I was able to finish the border for the first letter. It seems a bit square all on its own so I am going to double check my numbers before I continue.

I continued reading my high school friend's book and I started reading Under The Dome by Stephen King. The previews for the show intrigued me and I figured the book would probably be better. Unfortunately it is over a thousand pages long and I haven't been reading much lately, so there is no way I'll finish it before the show starts, but I'll give it a shot. I've only read one Stephen King book previously, Dreamcatcher, and I liked it so hopefully the same happens here.

I also made it to season four of Doctor Who. But not quite to Donna Noble, just the Christmas episode before season four, with the Titanic and Kylie Minogue. It is a good episode but I don't like how almost all the nice people die and the one asshole (not counting the villain) remained perfectly unharmed. Such a shame.

I got off work early and took the long way home with the windows down and the music up because the weather was amazing (thanks to an incoming storm) and I was in the mood for a drive. Not a long one, but enough of one to feel the wind on my face. It was nice.
