dchenesI decided that today I wanted an actual sandwich for lunch, so I went downstairs to the cafeteria outpost and ordered a pepper and egg sub. While I was waiting for it, the radio station that was on down there started playing "Here Comes the Sun". Wishful thinking on somebody's part, because it was pouring.
If the radio station my alarm is set to has to play commercials at 7:10, at least I find some of them funny when I'm not quite awake yet. The one this morning was for canned tomatoes, and it was channeling the Stan Freberg Show, which is why I was laughing about canned tomatoes at 7:11 this morning. I certainly wasn't laughing about much of anything else. Isn't this weather pattern EVER going to go elsewhere?
My brain, in its infinite whatever-it-is, has decided that taking up archery would be good. I wish my brain would consult with my budget before it decides things like that. Come to that, I wish I had a budget beyond "don't spend any money unless you absolutely can't avoid it".
My living room needs an archaeological dig again, because I need to find the floor in order to vacuum it. I wonder if I'll actually get that done tomorrow?
Completely random question: How would one rephrase "unfooled around with" so that it doesn't end with a preposition? That's been bothering me off and on for at least three months now.

Archery's a good sport, but you have to decide from the get-go whether you're going to shoot historic or modern.
Modern (aka Olympic-style) archery is very much toy-driven: pin and peep sights, compound bows, counterweights, rifled fletching, trigger releases, etc. It's also very expensive to get into, as your average bow kit is in the $400 range.
Historic archery's a completely different animal. I bought my fiberglass laminate bow for $75, and a sheaf of arrows for $30. If your form is good, you don't really need an arm guard, though a shooting glove may be very heplful for comfort.
