A Bachelor with too much time on his hands
Meredith has gone back to the States for 11 days to attend one of her friend’s weddings, leaving me here in our apartment in Ankara to fend for myself. I like to think that I am not completely helpless, however since we’ve lived in Turkey, with her not working, there’s only so much that I need to do around the house when she’s here. She has the time and gets most of it done while I’m at work.
I have now assumed charge of our humble abode, and will try to keep it up as well as I can. She left Friday morning on the eve a 3 day weekend – I got home on Friday after work, and promptly sat my butt down on the couch and started watching tv and drinking beer. One area in which I will definitely not do very well while Mer’s gone is cooking. She is a wonderful chef; I only help a little bit here and there. My dinner on Friday consisted of one frozen chicken burrito. Man was it good. I did grill some steaks on the grill last night, which were quite delicious. I have had my fill of meat for a while…
Of course I’ve been playing around on the computers, playing video games, etc. The last time Mer left, I took it upon myself to install Ubuntu Linux on our really nice Apple G4 Powerbook; in the process I did something and fried one of the RAM slots. We had to send it back to the states to get repaired. I learned my lesson – never mess with your main computer – especially the one that your wife uses all the time 
So this time around I’m staying away from the laptop. I instead installed Linux on my crappy Dell laptop…. This post is quickly turning into a mess – kind of a stream of conciousness dump. Sorry to anyone who’s reading it.
I have played a few video games as well; I used to be able to play video games non-stop for hours. Now I can only play maybe one game of basketball or soccer, then I just lose interest. I guess that it’s a good thing – considering I’m 27 years old and married, and will probably have kids in the next 5 years… It seems as though my interests have shifted – I now just want to play around on the internet or with computers, doing constructive things. Can you tell that I’m bored? This post is a piece of crap.
‘On Golden Pond’ is on AFN Movie right now, I hear it’s not a bad flick….
