| 3:09 am | Randomness Once again: Fuck you economics. Please kindly get out of my life so I can focus on the shit that I actually care about. Which isn't you. I have been hungry all day, and eating doesn't seem to help. It is I have, however, finished modeling my rat. ( Clicky to see ) I've actually begun rigging Ratboy, too, but it's not at a point where I can show anything off. And I have a sneaking suspicion that everything is going to BREAK as soon as I hit "bind skin." But the controls look pretty? This song only gets more fun watching the sunrise after you've been up for +24 hours, and knowing you can't sleep until at least 7 PM. In case anyone was wondering. *returns to poking maya* Current Mood:  annoyedCurrent Music: Bedlam Boys - Heather Alexander |

| 2:15 pm | Another pointless entry because I'm too lazy to write anything real Yes! Done with all the homework due today! Also maybe 1/6th of the homework for tomorrow? And by that I mean 30 minutes out of what will likely be at least 8-9 hours of work. Did I mention that I woke up at 3:30 this morning? *faints* Current Music: Ven - Elefante |
| 7:04 am | This is why I try to be asleep at 7 am It is 7 am and it appears completely dark out from my room. Turning out the lights, I can see that it might be thinking about getting light out, but I'm also sure that the sky has been about this blue at midnight. |
| 5:44 am | Nothing new. Time is annoying. I read 2 chapters for genetics in about 30 minutes, and was feeling pretty good about getting that out of the way. Then I turned on my computer, so I could do my web design homework. Now, after what feels like a few minutes at most, I look up to find that 90 minutes have passed. And I've done nothing. I went to bed around 8 last night. Being tired and not up to homework, I had hoped to go to bed early, sleep, and wake up early. Instead, I dozed on and off until 3:30, at which point I grew too alert and restless to stay in bed. Now it's 5:30, and I'm sleepy again. I suspect that I could actually fall asleep properly now, but I'd want 7-8 hours of sleep, which I don't have time for. I can't decide if going to bed early was a good idea or not. I guess it depends on how much of a basket case I am today. Current Mood: annoyedCurrent Music: the rain |

| 10:27 pm | How can I procrastinate? I know! Let's update LJ! Earlier today I got an email about a possible boil water alert for the area. This is the second time this week that there've been problems with the water around here. Last weekend, my mod couldn't use water (no cooking, cleaning, showers, flushing the toilet, etc). This week, the whole town gets to boil its water. NOT COOL PEOPLE. NOT COOL. And, from earlier: My three male modmates had just left our mod, and were walking across the field towards the library. This, of course, is hardly remarkable, but something the scene made me smile for a reason I cannot place. They were hunched over and looking at the ground, hands in their pockets, shifting their weight from side-to-side as they walked in that way that guys do. Jake and JB walked closer to each other, with Kris keeping himself just a tiny bit apart. Jake and JB were clearly talking to each other, and I suspect that Kris was also participating in the conversation, but none of them looked at each other at all or gestured as they spoke. It wasn't unfriendly or unhappy -- quite the opposite. They looked perfectly content. I can't say what I found so amusing about it, except that I don't often see all three of them together and that they were being more slouchy than usual. There was possibly an element of amusement at Kris, who I find rather cute (not in a "boy" way, but in an "aww *huggles*" way) and who was being significantly more "yo I'm a guy" than usual.

| 8:11 pm | Day of Blah I woke up this morning feeling vaguely sickish, and decided to take advantage of the fact that it's Saturday to go back to sleep. I woke up roughly once an hour, then went back to sleep, until my sore throat was all but gone, along with the general feeling of blech. I've decided against working on Dippy today, in the hopes of a) catching up on the rest of my homework and b) napping and nibbling and drinking lots of tea and generally taking it easy in the hopes of not waking up hellishly sick on Monday. I have so far finished my genetics & evolution homework, and wasted the rest of the day checking DA, eating and washing dishes, and chatting with discordantcat, and I am feeling immensely unproductive. Current Mood: sickishCurrent Music: Some video game or other. With explosions. And gunfire. |

| 3:08 am | Stuck. I seem to have reached that unfortunate part of the night where I'm not doing homework because I'm too tired to focus, and I'm not going to bed because I have unfinished homework. It's ridiculous: I've had four paragraphs left to read for the past three hours. Admittedly, they're all statistical analysis, and if I wasn't going cross-eyed trying to remember stats, I'd probably be done by now. (Once upon a time, "ANOVA" meant something to me. I swear it did.) In other news, I've become quite fond of lists lately. Specifically to-do lists, with little boxes that I get to check off whenever I finish something. I have them scattered in different formats all over my room, so that when I finish something, I often get to check it off several times. I love looking at such a list and going "Hey, I already did that! *check*" It's fun. I may have said this before, but: I seriously want to go through and organize my tags. The only problem with this is that it will take an age an a half, and I won't feel the slightest bit satisfied when I'm done, nor will I have accomplished anything useful. I've already got most of the major things tagged properly: artwork, semesterly schedules, links, conlanging and world-building, etc. The fact that I have fuzzy distinctions between what constitutes "musings" versus "random", and that I don't neatly distinguish external life from internal life from abstract/intellectual ponderings or virtual life or whatever, isn't a huge impediment to my finding the entries I'm looking for. I'd like to have a shorter list of tags, just because it would feel nicer, but I somehow doubt that reorganizing things will actually accomplish that. Ok. Bed now. Really. Now. Current Mood: exhausted |

| 12:47 pm | Rice Waking up to freshly made rice is a wonderful feeling -- especially when it's 45 degrees out and your bedroom window was open all night. I suspect that oatmeal would have a similar effect, and that it will only get nicer when things freeze. |

| 10:19 pm | Nocturnal The major downside to feeling most awake and energized in the dark is that you can't take advantage of it to read. Or do homework. I want a book light with two light bulbs: a yellow-tinted one for when I'm trying to lull myself to sleep, and a blue-tinted one for staying awake. Current Mood:  awake ... until I turn on the lightsCurrent Music: The wind rustling in the trees. It's really nice. |

| 6:52 pm | Sleep Woke up early this morning -- awake at 7:00, out of bed by 7:30. My plan, such as it is, is to start the year waking up around 7:00, and then slip by (no more than) one hour every month. Assuming it works, I'll still be waking up in time for my 10:30 classes come December. (And doing the same thing with bedtimes.) This plan is based on the observations that a) I find it quite easy to adjust my sleep schedule at the beginning of the school year and b) that I inevitably cycle around as the year goes on, and find it virtually impossible to interrupt this in the direction of "waking up earlier". Even when I didn't have class until noon, I it became harder and harder to get myself out of bed on time as the semester continued. I'm certainly a night owl by nature, but my sleep cycle also tends to drift forward, and I'm wondering if that isn't an equally powerful factor in Why I Don't Get Enough Sleep. If I'm right, maybe addressing the drifting issue directly will help. Worst case scenario, it just doesn't work, and I'm no worse off than where I started. Current Mood: hopeful |

| 3:45 pm | Blah Well, that worked out well: After spending the better part of 2 hours preparing breakfast this afternoon, I promptly proceeded to trip and drop most of it on the floor. I guess the floor did need mopping. In other news, we have a stove again! With an oven and everything! ( Randomness... ) Current Mood: contentCurrent Music: The Saltwater Room - Owl City |

| 9:10 am | Workin' on makin' "ART" the biggest tag here. A) Sounds like I was right to add an extra week to that estimate. I'm now adding an extra one, with room for a third just in case. "If you're disappointed, you weren't being sufficiently pessimistic," is not a philosophy I've made use of in a while. I guess it was overdue. (Though the more I think about it, the more room I see for disappointment. But, you know, we're taking it slow.) B) The real reason for this post: Art! :D Most of these are pretty damned old, but I don't think I've posted them anywhere yet. As always, ignore the text (it's intended for me to look back on) and enjoy the pretty: ( Cut for 8 largish images, and nudity. ) If someone under the age of 18 (or 14) has an entry flagged as more "adult" than they're allowed to see, what happens? Can they not view their own entry until they get old enough? Can they see it, but no one else their age can? Is it impossible for them / other people to flag content in that journal as containing adult material? Current Mood:  artistic |

| 1:39 pm | solo quiero Someone did Rocky Road to Dublin in ASL. I'm home, and I suddenly can't remember what on earth I was going to do this summer. When I do remember things, I either have zero desire to go do them or couldn't do them right now even if I wanted to. So I think I'm taking this week as wind-down and recharge time.

| 8:51 am | You can tell I love this class because I bitch about it all the time... OMFG I am finally done with my computer animation project. There are a million things I But now I am done, and I don't even care if I forgot to fix something important. On a related note: The nice thing about pulling a proper all-nighter is that, if I'm still up by 7:30, I actually get to eat breakfast. It's pretty exciting. Current Mood: the sort of happy that only comes from a sucessful all-nighter Current Music: The birds. They chirp! |

| 5:16 pm | Chemistry fail. Also guns. This is the second time in a row that my chemistry lab let has out late and made me miss aikido. D: On the I am so excited for the summer. Mostly because my sleep cycle has reverted to something more normal for me, and I'm getting increasingly sleep-deprived with every passing day. There is no way on earth I am committing to waking up before noon this summer. On a totally unrelated note, and probably more interesting note: Hello Kitty guns? Yes please?

| 5:07 pm | Sickness I really wish I was better at distinguishing hunger from nausea. Normally, this complaint stems from being unable to eat when I am hungry, because I feel sick. I think that yesterday is the first time it's going the other way. I felt hungry/nauseous, and given that I'm accustomed to that feeling signaling hunger, I assumed that I was just hungry. So I spent a while trying to induce myself to eat until I finally threw up. And proceeded to be sick for the rest of last night. Noticing blood in the vomit, I called the EMTs. They said that it probably wasn't serious (wrong color), and I'm feeling mostly better today. But I'm still having confusingly mixed feelings about food. Which was annoying, since saga had some really pretty-looking food today for Easter. Current Music: עידן רייכל - 07 Im Telech (If You Go) |
