They're Just Some Activities I Used to Do

Today was a day for doing things I haven't done in a while. At work, I did Monday through Saturday of this week's New York Times crossword. The times below represent both rustiness and the fact that I was distracted by watching first-season episodes of Angel on Hulu. I'd forgotten a lot about those shows, but it was fun to watch Christian Kane as a young associate.

When I got home, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the house to myself. But I had "Girl in the War" (mp3) stuck in my head, and I fired up iTunes, and then I started listening to songs I hadn't heard in a while. A little Michael Penn, a little Elliott Smith, a little Harvey Danger, and pretty soon it was ninety minutes gone.

Then I did something new. I'm trying to see if I can actually make something of the Spanish I learned in high school, so I spent some time translating some of my favorite songs in Spanish, "Rara by Juana Molina and "Sueño con Serpientes" by Silvio Rodriguez.

I cleaned up a little, I had some food, I took out some trash, I wrote up a post. And of course, now I remember that I was supposed to find my bus pass before tomorrow morning.

Back to the search, I guess.
