Reading: The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. It’s a general overview of Evolution. I’ve read about that a few times before so it’s nothing all that new, but it’s engaging and and I like the topic. I really need to find something a little bit deeper on the topic, but that’s surprisingly hard to find. Maybe once the Cretin population dies off a little bit and America jumps up from near last on the list of industrialized nations and knowledge of Evolution. Also, why do the books supporting science have such great names: The Blind Watchmaker, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Climbing Mount Improbable, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, all very evocative and poetic. The books criticizing science never seem nearly as artful.
Writing: That short-story I’ve been babbling about — it’s done and submitted. It’ll be a few weeks before I hear back. I’ve got another short story to resubmit after a rejection slip and another short-story to write, this one hopefully a lot shorter than the other one. The premise is a character whose genes were patented. I read a story about a patent case in the news not so long ago that managed to capture my imagination.
Playing: I’m finishing up Splinter Cell: Conviction. It’s much faster and action oriented that the previous Splinter Cell games, but they did a very good job keeping everything together. They did not overpower Sam Fisher too much, kept the gadgets interesting, and managed to pull the story along a lot better than expected. I miss the old, slow-paced planning Splinter Cell, but the gameplay was maybe getting a little stale. It seemed more realistic, but this did such a good jump with Conviction I can’t criticize.
I pre-ordered Red Dead Redemption, which looks like Grand Theft Auto in the Old West. Sounds amazing, can’t wait!
Watching: Maybe Iron Man 2? The character does not have much room for plot development. I imagine it has to be terrible. I know already that I’m going to be disappointed…I’m going to see it anyway, probably, maybe, unless someone saves me from it.
Cooking: maybe a pizza? I’m still got a few bread mixes from my x-mas Bread Machine.
Hiking: Minnewaska 6th time this year.
And that’s the weekend.
It is apparent that when running a business that this amount of operate involved will be significantly more when compared with one would expect working as a staff.
