Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Thursday, June 30, 2005

Whenever I need to heat something in the microwave, I always set it for eleven, twenty-two, thirty-three, forty-four, etcetera seconds. If the directions say to cook something for two and a half minutes, I put it in for 2:22. I'm sure you see the pattern here.

It's much quicker and more efficient to locate the 2 button and press it three times than it is to find the 2, press it, find the 3, press it, find the 0, and press it. The difference of a few seconds really doesn't matter; if I had a lower power microwave oven, I might go 2:33 or even 2:44.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
