The above video from Sci Show couldn't have come at a better time. I was planning to tell you about my drinking endeavors this weekend and look, Hank has decided to tell us about hangovers. Friday, I got home from work and decided to have a beer. There is nothing wrong with that. As soon as I finished my first one, I had a second. Still not horrible, but that's more than I usually drink in a weekend, let alone a night. The night trudged on I went to bed at a about 1 am. I woke up, later than I should really admit, but at noon with a monster headache. And I thought to myself, "Where the hell did this come from?" I took a deep breath to make sure I wasn't stuffed up, I doubled checked the time to sure I had really gotten as much sleep as I thought. Then it hit me, between 6 pm yesterday evening and 12 pm the next afternoon the only thing I had to drink were two beers...dehydration headache, aka hangover, oh goodie. So what did I do yesterday afternoon, polished off 3/4 of a bottle of wine all by myself. I don't know where all this alcohol drinking is coming from, but so far today I am alcohol free. We'll have to see how it goes.
1. 18 Books in a Year:
I have 3 more books under my belt. May can count Small Favor - Dresden Files Book 10 by Jim Butcher, Inferno by Dan Brown, and Divergent by Veronica Roth in its ranks. That brings the total count up to 16. Two more books and my goal is meant. I have 5 more Dresden books before I am caught up with the series. I am going to blow this one out of the water. The the new policy at work was rescinded, so I can again listen to books at work. As always the reviews for the books I read this month are online at www.stuckinstorymode.com. Divergent isn't up yet, but I am hoping that by the end of the day it will be there.
2. 40 Movies in a Year:
Oh boy, the math here is going to be scary. May gave me 2 movies (but one of them I did see twice), Star Trek Into Darkness (the one I saw twice) and Iron Man 3. That takes my count to 9. Star Trek rocked! Best movie of the year, I am calling it :) The reviews can be found online at www.stuckinstorymode.com. Now for the math. Today is the last day of week 22 and there are 52 weeks in a year. That leaves me 30 weeks to see 31 movies. Now realistically I doubt I am seeing a movie today which means I have 29 weeks to see 31 movies. Were going to have to see how this goes, because that is a super tall order.
