Decisions, decisions (Update)

It's roughly about 7:00 in the evening here in the greatness of 100 degree Texas weather. While at school/work today, there happened to be quite a little downpour. Luckily, my three colleagues and myself were safely tucked away in a booth inside our favorite haunt as the rain beat down. As expected, whenever I completed my evening commute back to my home, I noticed that not a drop or precipitation had fallen at my home. Apparently, God himself is in on the scheme to run up my water bill. I considered mowing for a little while, but then decided against it. It will have to wait until tomorrow.

So here I am sitting at home, slightly bored with way too much shit that I need to be doing. What my father always classified as "the want-to" has currently left me. All I have now for company is a "drinking way too many beers during the day and then suddenly stopping" headache which has become quite a distraction as I peruse the book of tales and random nature sketches which has become assigned reading for my Hawthorne class. I should be reading--TGLJC knows I'll never make it to the secondary critical readings--but the odds of that happening are growing fainter and fainter as the time passes. It's almost as if the body objects to the teasing of pouring small amounts of alcohol into it. In retaliation, it summons a dreary mid-day headache that often rivals even the sorriest of next morning hangovers. But it is the daytime still, and there is still so much to do, yet I don't seem to have the attention span to even read a page, much less an entire story.

So that leaves me with a decision to make. While my intentions earlier today revolved around an evening of consumption, my plan was unfortunately aborted by a prior engagement which rendered my fellow associates relatively unwilling to partake in said drinking, as the majority of them were still suffering from post-habanero syndrome and the excessive imbibing of champagne cocktails. So with this in mind, I will focus my energies on the task at hand--to continue drinking and get absolutely nothing accomplished, or stop and let the pain in my head gradually subside until I am once again able to function as a willing and agreeable graduate student.

Apparently, God hasn't finished tormenting me with the rain. While I can't seem to get a drop to fall from the sky here, rain appears to be abundant in Cancun according to the latest weather forecast. I'm still expecting a hurricane, just because. But then again, at least the temperature should stay out of the triple digit range.
