3 Day Weak-end

I tell you what, I need a vacation. A vacation from this three day weekend. If I don't have anything to do on a long weekend, I get so bored that I seriously feel like I need a vacation afterwards. Naturally, this problem has long been noticeable and the world has come up with a delightful solution: the work week. Yes, the work week was invented to counter a three day weekend that happened several hundred years ago. Some bloke got so fed up on his extended weekend and was too poor to take a vacation, that he invented the work week. In fact, he was so angry that he didn't want to have another three day weekend ever again, so he made the work week five days. There, a brief history of the work week.

Now, what did I do this weekend? Well, I watched 7 movies which is quite disgusting. Well, let's be honest, I watched more like 6.25. Here's how:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Meet Joe Black (first time, incredibly moving movie)
The Matrix: Reloaded (only scenes in the Matrix)
The Matrix: Revolutions (only scenes involving action)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The Whole Nine Yards
Casino Royale

I did do a bit of homework Monday afternoon and purchased a few books at Half-Price books during a 20% off sale. That's pretty nice. I also picked up some friends from the airport Monday, so that made me feel like I was doing something. Not too much reading, which is kind of depressing but I just didn't feel much like reading, plus it kept putting me to sleep. I napped and slept a lot this weekend. *sigh* I'm actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow...sort of...well not really. That's why I need a vacation.

p.s. i'm not dissing three day weekends. Only weekends where I don't have anything to do.
