A good day to die...or at least to do some other stuff

WOW.  It has been many moons since I last updated this blog.  To all my devoted followers (*chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp*), I apologize.  I've had time.  I just haven't considered much in my life worth sharing of late.  Now to remedy that!

Have you ever had just a really, REALLY good day?  (I sure hope so.  If not, cheer up, chum!)

Today was one of those days for me.  I worked.  I got payed.  I slept for a reasonable amount of time, instead of too little or (as is my my way) too much.  I played some games.  I went grocery shopping for the first time in 3 weeks.  I ate cheap, greasy pizza!  (Man, you do not realize how awesome pizza is until you've lived on rice and oatmeal for 3 weeks.)

But probably the best part of the day was going to the art gallery on my school's campus with a close friend.  The exhibit displayed was that of one Jed Henry, an illustrator who draws things from pop culture (particularly Japanese pop culture) in the style of medieval Japanese paintings.  It was pretty rad.  We saw the Joker as a ronin (a wandering samurai).  We saw Megaman with an old-timey Chinese cannon on his arm.  We saw Pokemon as mythological Japanese beasts ("so in other words, you saw...Pokemon?").  The art was awesome, and it was fun to try and figure out who was in each piece.

I really don't have any deep or insightful thoughts for you with this post. Mostly, I'm just taking note of what was a really good day.  Not to say my days are typically bad; they could certainly be much worse.  And it's not like I did much that was out of the ordinary.  Most people would call my day pretty simple.  But the days that really pump you up, that get you high on life, that make you absolutely euphoric...to me, those days are worth remembering.

So!  Here's to good days!

PS - Martha, thanks for coming with me.  Yes, I realize that I'm kinda putting you on the spot here.  I apologize if that's embarrassing.  I just figured you deserved some credit for being mentioned in this post.  What?  I'm rambling?  Yeah, I guess I am.  Well that certainly isn't going to help.  Okay, I've officially gone overboard.  I'm gonna stop now.  Okay.  For real. Riiiiiight no-
