Day 18 - Tuesday

I kinda feel like I wasted most of my day, it's two in the afternoon and I only just woke up. Normally sleeping in doesn't bother me so much, it usually makes me warm and happy and more inclined to get up and do something. But when I wake up after midday more than half the day is gone and it doesn't seem worthwhile to even get out of bed.

Which is why I'm sitting here writing this. I'm procrastinating. I obviously wasn't here on the weekend and didn't do all my chores so I'm supposed to do my share of the cleaning up around the house today and go out and buy milk because dad forgot to get it yesterday.

I don't want to. I want to stay right here half tangled in my blankets and have another snooze. Alternatively I could lay here and play my guitar, maybe belt out a few songs I haven't played in forever. Too bad my guitar is all the way across the room and I'm too comfortable to get up and retrieve it. I'll just have to make do with singing for the moment and get the guitar when I'm not feeling quite so lazy.

I should probably figure out more of that tune Yutaka gave me two weeks ago. I feel a bit guilty about not looked at properly yet. I kinda got caught up in the excitement over last weekends gig and completely forgot I was supposed to be looking at it for him. He's really self conscious about putting ideas forward since he feels like he's 'only' the drummer, but we've been encouraging him to write stuff since he won some prize for poetry that we didn't even know he entered. He hasn't come up with anything nearly as good as that but what he gives me is definitely improving. All it usually needs is a little bit of tweaking and a tune that's not quite so bland.

Maybe I'll do that after dinner tonight. I can record it onto my computer and send it over to Takashi. If I started doing that now I'd end up playing right through dinner and I don't think TK would appreciate being ignored.

I suppose I could go and visit Taichi at the soccer field now. They've got hours of practice to go yet and they'll probably have a rest at some point. You can't force a bunch of guys to run around for two and a half hours straight, especially not on the second day of practice. They'd either all collapse from exhaustion or start getting aggressive with the coach.

I'm not particularly sure Taichi would appreciate me suddenly showing up though since he's supposed to be concentrating on his soccer, but maybe if I just went and sat in the stadium for a bit I could watch him without him noticing.

Too bad I can't just go at five o'clock and give him a lift home, TK wouldn't appreciate that either. I'm not sure I really want to entertain my brother considering the mood he's been in lately, but we've been doing this dinner thing for a couple of years now, we can handle a bit of time with one of us being stroppy. He'll get over it eventually.

Maybe I could get up and bake a cake. It'd make more mess for me to clean up later but I'd have a cake then so it wouldn't matter so much. I could...

Ok, this is really procrastination now, I have to get up and do something useful. I might write again after dinner or just leave it all until tomorrow. I've already wasted enough time sleeping, I don't need to lose the rest of my day sitting around writing in a Journal.
