Weekend Warriors

I really hate Mondays. They always come too fast and last too long. The only good thing about Mondays as far as I'm concerned, is Monday Night Football and House. Of course, I still have to complain because House and football are playing at the same time.


I don't have DVR, so it's a matter of deciding whether or not I want to watch the game more than I do my favorite sarcasm-wielding doctor. This is okay with me. I've decided that television is going to rot my brain.


Case in point, I spent all day yesterday watching football. This isn't anything new for me during the season. However, this is the first year I'm attempting to get some serious writing done as well. Last season, I wrote a little under half of Ruby's story before football season and finished it well after the season ended (which included the Pro Bowl).

It just doesn't say 'romance' to me. I came in today ready to write (or at least thinking I was ready to write) and found myself writing absolute trash. Just nothing worth saving. I'm disgusted!
