Things to do when you're at a lakehouse by yourself for 6 hours

  • Look around
  • Drink beer
  • Think about getting in the pool
  • Listen to music
  • Start to watch nascar--then change your mind
  • Smoke as many cigarettes as possible
  • Ponder life
  • Get bored, clean a little
  • Stare at the grill and wish you had something to cook
  • Think about turning on computer and doing some work
  • Decide that work is gay
  • Call a friend who doesn't answer
  • Practice shuffleboard until you realize that it really isn't too much fun by yourself
  • Notice that you are only 1 hour into said 6 hours and think, "Damn, this is gonna be a long list."
  • Pee
  • Kill bugs
  • Go down to the water and look around there
  • Stare at the fish under the boathouse and get 15 minutes of pure entertainment watching them try to eat your spit
  • Almost step on a snake
  • Talk to previously mentioned friend for an hour and a half (that killed some time)
  • Decide to get in pool but it's too cold. Sit by pool and listen to frog croak who won't shut the fuck up
  • Wish I was as patient as that frog
  • Get the hiccups and realize it's only 9:30pm. Only 3.5 more hours to go
I think that was my last coherent thought. I have no idea what I did for the last few hours.

I think it's a shame that right when you were about to get philosophical or perhaps even a little existentialist with your comparison of your own virtues with that of a frog you get the hiccups and go incoherent.

Also I wonder if your hiccups probably sounded a lot like the frog croaking.

i wonder if the frog was as annoyed with your hiccups as you were with his croaking...
