Custom Spin Journal, Day 1(ish)

10:00 PM: Put brownies in oven. Express dismay over lack of proper temperature control in the new apartment oven.

10:05 PM: Chat on AIM with some buddies.

10:15 PM: Set up spinning wheel in office. Express further dismay over the lack of proper seating. Yearn for an expensive office chair and a spinning stool to boot.

10:16 PM: Wonder where drive band is.

10:17 PM: Wonder if I have packed drive band in some inaccessible box. Begin to panic. Consider the nearness of this project's deadline.

10:18 PM: Find box of spinning gadgets and bring it into the office. Chat via AIM.

10:20 PM: Hook up drive band; begin spinning. Move chair three times.

10:25 PM: My back is killing me. Move chair again. Chat via AIM.

10:35 PM: Express even more dismay over lack of regularity in my singles. Wonder if the brownies are burning. Curse the gods in their unique and creative cruelty.

10:45 PM: Remove brownies from oven. The edges appear pleasantly toasted. Swear inwardly anyway at the vagaries of gas ovens. Wonder when I will have time to wash fleece tonight. Chat via AIM.

10:57 PM: Note that Kingdom of Loathing has logged me out due to inactivity. Decide it's for the best. Begin spinning again.

11:00 PM: Decide to multitask by watching Mae West film, "I'm No Angel."

11:08 PM: "When I'm good, I'm very good--but when I'm bad, I'm better." Laugh uproariously.

11:20 PM: Get a brownie. Realize KoL is going down for rollover in ten minutes. Realize that I have to burn at least 90 adventures just to keep from losing adventures during rollover. Put life on hold while killing monsters behind the Inexplicable Door.

11:30 PM-12:00 AM: Spin. Fight the cat for the fiber. Toss cat out of the room. Spin more. Watch Mae West put Cary Grant in the shade. Consider that my efforts may not be so bad after all. Cover wheel; eat brownies.
