I got up, worked out, had lunch, took a mini nap, went to work, came home, had dinner, watched a bit of TV.


A bit out of order because I worked days today, but that's normally what I do everyday, with or without DU.

Not very interesting, but I'm not feeling well so my plan of getting some small projects done fell through.

Of course they weren't. I read a few things there. They have a catagory titled "Homosexual Agenda". What a boatload of homophobes. I had to leave after that.
