1. I didn't blog yesterday because I was exhausted and went to bed. I slept three whole hours. My schedule is very weird.
2. Both days, I read. I've been reading Karen Armstrong's The Bible: A Biography. Today, the book for book group, The Secret Magdalene, arrived, and I realized I only have about a week to read it, so I got to the end of the chapter in the Armstrong and started the new one. So far, it's sort of an attempt to Magdalene-ize The Red Tent, but with a rather irritating tendency to plop everyone in the New Testament into it, often in ways that so far don't make a great deal of sense. (Spoiler: I'm on page 52, and Mary Magdalene's just turned 13, but so far, it looks like her best friend and foster sister Sabine is going to end up being Simon Magus. Yeah, it's only a little contrived.)
3. I got the Dwarf Rogue to 45, checked statistics and mail, and started the Level 40 Draenei Shaman.
4. Yesterday's BigFishGame was Fashion Rush; there have been several fashion-related time management games over the last few months. I'm not crazy about this one; even with what I think was supposed to be a speed upgrade, the on-screen avatar is noticeably slow and clunky, and the soundtrack is just bizarre and inappropriate.
5. I played a little Wii in the last few days, I think. I also read some magazines.
6. I'm supposed to be starting my final check on my online Comp course; there are two big chunks I haven't written yet, so I haven't finished my final gradesheet, and I also haven't done a final proofread. Guess what I haven't started yet.

1/9: What I Accomplished Today
1. Went to Literary Society to hear Ursula Hegi speak about The Worst Thing I've Done.
2. Took a nap.
3. Television and Pogo badges.
4. Level 43 Dwarf Rogue. Badlands. Dinged 44.
Last night, I downloaded the BigFishGame, Hot Dish. Really fun; less physical Cooking Mama with multiple dishes going simultaneously. I haven't checked today's game yet.

1/8: What I Accomplished Today
1. I'm not sleeping well at night, so I got up and finished The Year of Living Biblically. Very interesting book; he's honest with and about himself. I may read his other book as well. I've started Karen Armstrong's The Bible: A Biography.
2. Took a nap.
3. We went to a friend's house to set up our Christmas present to her, a DVD/VCR combo unit. It has no tuner (none of the ones at decent price points do), so it won't do what she wants it to. We're In Search Of Plan B.
4. Television and Pogo badges.
5. Level 43 Dwarf Rogue. Swamp of Sorrows. Finished cooking and fishing quests. Hurray.
6. Have downloaded today's BigFishGame, which is called Hot Dish. We'll see.

1/6: What I Accomplished Today
1. Puzzle Day. We lost. Blech.
2. Took a nap.
3. Finished The Worst Thing I've Done. Not crazy about it; I liked Stones in the River much better. This was sort of "People I neither like nor trust getting through an unpleasant year." I'm interested in what she has to say about it Wednesday at Literary Society.
4. Started The Year of Living Biblically. This is about an Esquire writer raised as a secular Jew who decides, as he raises his first child, that he needs to learn about spirituality; he decides the way to do this is to try to live the Bible literally for a year. He does this without being overly reverent or irreverent; so far, I think the balance has been really good. I'm enjoying this.
5. Television and Pogo badges.
6. Level 40 Dwarf Rogue. Dustfallow (just the parts I felt like). Dinged 41. Got the Kalimdor fishing done. Started the giant eggs for the cooking quest in Tanaris, but not quite ready for that. Did the Warmonger one and the Preserving Knowledge one in Alterac Mountains. Auction stuff.
Also read a magazine.

1/5: What I Accomplished Today
1. Level 40 Dwarf Rogue. Auction stuff. Fishing.
2. Took a nap.
3. Took home the lady who cleans the house. Did the month's Target shopping and some exchanges.
4. Television and Pogo badges. We watched Elf from NetFlix. Really, surprisingly cute.
5. Level 40 Dwarf Rogue. First batch of Dustwallow.
6. Reading in The Worst Thing I've Done. Everyone else is a jerk, too. Mason is the biggest jerk, but so far, everyone is a jerk. I suspect we'll find out that we're all likable under the jerkiness. I hope not. I've read that before.
