So you're probably wondering what I have been doing. Well, wonder no more. Here is a list of highly important activities that I have accomplished in the last 5 days.
- I've planned breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next three weeks (starting as soon as I get my appetite back).
- I've read 4 books. A Thousand Splendid Suns was written by the same author as The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini. It was just as wonderful. I re-read The Great Escape by Paul Brickhill. I now want to re-watch the movie, which stars the original McDreamy, Steve McQueen. The Summer of '49 is written by David Halberstam, one of my favorite documentary writers, right beside John Krakauer. A Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks. One thing that I've learned from these books is that there is so much beauty in tragedy.
- I watched Star Wars Episodes IV, V, VI, and III. I'll probably work on I, and II after I finish this blog. Also watched Meet the Robinson's, Shooter, Little Miss Sunshine, and Goonies.
- Put new strings on my guitar.
- Organized my pantry.
- Emptied my entire Inbox on Hotmail, and responded to every email that deserved a response.
- Searched the library catalog online and put every mixed martial arts book on hold.
- Started pondering some New Years resolutions for 2008.
- Did 4 loads of laundry.
- Applied some self-tanner to my legs. I did a C- job, by the way.
- Budgeted through December.
- Challenged myself to Boggle. I tried to beat my previous score every round.
- Picked out Christmas gifts for everyone on my list and ordered them online.
- Drank 2 liters of Ginger Ale and ate a jar of applesauce. Oh, and half a can of soup.
- Went to the InstaCare and shelled out $35 for the doctor to tell me that it was a virus and to just wait it out. Aarrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Dear Miss Bored Out of Her Skull,
There are a whole plethora of books on MMA out there. Read any you like, obviously. Three, and only three, I would recommend for purchase. They are as follows: The Book of Knowledge by BJ Penn, Mastering Jujitsu by Renzo Gracie and Guerilla Jiu-jitsu by Dave Camarillo. Each has a unique perspective on how to approach MMA or jiu-jitsu. Renzo's book is especially informative and provides a history of Jujitsu which appears to be the most comprehensive available. Have fun and come back to the gym, Miss Thang.
