May 20-28th

I'm coming to the conclusion that this project would be so much easier if I wasn't such a slow reader. I've been reading Game of Thrones almost constantly between work, but I have yet to even make it to the halfway point of the beast. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was inspired to reread it because of my idea to tackle it, and she read the entire novel in the span of a couple nights. This is me feeling totally trumped.

To top it all off, I've only made my goal of "reading all the books on my bookshelf that I have yet to read or want to reread" even more difficult. While working, I took home nine--yes, nine hardcover copies of classical literature that were being donated. I don't even have room for them on my bookshelf! As it is, they're sitting peacefully in a stack on the floor by the bookshelf as sort of...honorary members of the place.

I've been struggling on my diet for the past couple of days--not that I've exactly been relapsing, but a trip to the movies provided me with far more sweets than I had expected, and spending a couple days with friends made me unable to exercise. My weight loss goal is just laughing at me and my poor, weak will.

On the bright side, though, I have knocked a couple things off of my list.

• Socialized with friends for two days
• Wrote a few role play posts
• Completed more voice acting auditions
• Came up with more possibilities for radio dramas
• Got inspired to make a comic (not that I've actually attempted it yet)

Clearly, though, I haven't accomplished much for the past week. I think I've been getting sick; I've been extremely fatigued and unpleasant for the past few days, but maybe the day off today (thank you, Memorial Day!) will help me get back on track. Gonna get back to reading Game of Thrones! Maybe I'll...actually hit the half-way point today (I don't simply read, I absorb).
