Are Seven

When you’re on vacation, it’s hard to imagine that everyone else isn’t on vacation. Seriously, I thought on Saturday morning how great it was going to be to get up on Monday and not go into work, but then Monday morning came around and it already seemed like the standard thing to get up and then go sit on a beach, and it was hard to imagine everyone in the world wasn’t doing exactly the same thing.  Being on a beach with your brain switched off is like being a little kid again, except all you want to do is sit on the beach and read, which, as a little kid, seemed like the most boring thing in the world.  So to refine it, it’s like a kid attitude at adult speed.  It’s pretty great.

But don’t think I’m rubbing it in. One day, you can return this favor, reminding me you’re on vacation when I’m spending time in my flourescent box.  And besides, there’s ways you can still entertain yourselves even while you’re in not at the beach.  If you haven’t seen Hulu yet, you need to check it out.  It’s legal internet TV, and besides the fact that you can watch all of Arrested Development and new episodes of the The Simpsons and 30 Rock, they’re now putting entire episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on there.

And before you tell me to get off the computer and go down to the beach, look through this post and tell me it didn’t seem like I wrote it in about three minutes.  Which is exactly what happened.
