rut or routine?

• monday through friday
  • wake up between 6am and 7am
  • check email, weblogs, etc
  • go to gym (usually around 8am)
    • monday, wednesday, friday — set of twelve reps at most of the upper-body weight machines, 20-30 minutes on elliptical machine (cascades mode, level 12)
    • tuesday, thursday — 45 minutes on elliptical machine (cascades mode, level 15)
  • breakfast (granola and yogurt), shower, begin work
  • work (generally with a snack or two of an apple or orange)
  • lunch around 1pm (sometimes i run errands. monday-thursday i fix something at home, and on fridays i usually pick something up)
  • work (generally with another snack or two of apples, oranges, or celery with peanut butter)
  • dinner around 7pm (salad — lettuce, shredded carrots, roasted sunflower seeds, and ralphs poppyseed dressing)
  • watch television, dvds, or play world of warcraft
  • go to bed anytime between 10pm and midnight
• saturday and sunday
  • wake up between 6am and 8am
  • breakfast (pancakes), shower
  • read email, weblogs, etc
  • get out (go to a movie, go take pictures, go shopping, etc)
  • eat a mid-day meal (when and what depends on whether i’m in or out — a frequent choice is to pick up a few empanadas at the grand central market)
  • read a book, screw around on the computer, etc.
  • dinner around 7pm (salad)
  • watch television, dvds, or play world of warcraft
  • go to bed anytime between 10pm and midnight

the weekdays are more consistent than the weekends. weekends depend on what movies are playing, whether i need to hit trader joe’s, what books and movies i have on hand, whether i feel like baking bread and making pizza, etc.

but i’d say about 90% of my days fit these basic templates.

today will be an exception, for example — unless i flake out and forget, i’m going to head up to amoeba music and catch dengue fever.
