middle of august – end of summer comes hither

Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Just one. But the house falls down.

so, we went out last night. i’m working on about 4.5 hours of sleep… but it was all completely worth it.

i’m annyoed beyond belief with this blog. i want to make it a dual publishing thing, so that i can blog off-main page persona life updates, and on-main page photographs… but at the moment i can’t seem to be able to do even the simplest things.

i guess its cause i’m a little spread out over many things lately. which is awesome. cause all the things are nice. people, adventure, climbing, photography, work, camping, drinking, sleeping.

it is sucky that summer has to end, but it is great for the end of summer means beginning of school year and arrival of certain americans back into canada. on the grand scale of things, i’m entirely overjoyed summer will actually end one day. i just want to get more tanned before it does. :)

giving up isn’t always bad

  • i suck in css! this blog is difficult to edit, cause when i get my grand idea of what i want to accomplish, i lose track in the details.
  • i’m giving up linguistics. situation changed, and i’d have next 2 weeks with 5-6 hours of sleep a night, 8 hours of work, 2 hours of commute, and the rest linguistics with my partner. it sucks; i am losing money for the course and already paid registration and such fees, i’m losing the chance to actually get published, but the last day that i have spent lounging in bed and finishing harry potter 6, was exactly what i needed.
  • harry potter 6 is good. i want 7. and reread the first ones too.
  • the australian huntsman spider. i told you its nasty.
  • rieslign, green label is very good wine.
  • i am freedom!
  • perfection

    i swear, this guy’s voice haunts me. the song is just so heart wrenching, and that was even before i looked up the words. it was on one of the romantic collection disks, if any one knows these.

    sold book for 40$
    went to the library, paid a 32$ fine.
    how’s that for karma?

    my room is complete. its peaceful to the utmost degree now. i couldn’t imagine a more comfortable space. maybe if i could figure in a couch, it’d be awesomer, but its a room not an apartment.

    the day was linguistics diagrams galore. i’m good at those. must be the digital circuits class and my general enjoyment of charts.

    a thought has been crossing my mind lately, about how good it is to feel comfortable in your own skin. it sounds silly, but its exactly how it feels. a feeling of comfort. maybe it has to do with comfortable clothes intead? i don’t know.

    the booq case is kicking ass. i’m so much more comfortable carrying my laptop around now!

    i tried to setup an rss aggregator on this site to get links from people over at modblog and mahaon.org. its not working. so that will also be delayed.

    all in all i’m happy with the website being empty of everything though. it feels more like i want it to feel.

    lets try out image posting again.

    incredibly mundane feeling

    so i’m trying to personalize this blog. the noobs who liked my design yesterday didn’t realize it was broken ;)
    so the idea is that this is going to be very pale so that i can start intermingling photographs ala photo blog style with posts.

    thursday – heavy work day, in a good and a bad way. i’m glad its the end of the week… except it seems i will have to continue working into the weekend nevertheless – i don’t have a single evening of just sleep.

    my room’s also gonna go a change soon. new bookcase, new “computer table” (which is going to be far less of a computer table than the thing i have now – but more stylish! all that’s left is a normal bed, which ikea lacks.

    grr, stupid photo upload plugin isn’t working. i’m done for today. i had a photo to post, but blah. not today i suppose.

    while the day was full of STUFF: work was exciting, positively so, study was exciting, notsopositivelyso, coming home at 9pm again was exciting, positively so (parents bought the IKEA stuff that i was looking for), and evening was exciting as another episode of ‘dead like me’ appeared on tmondemand, the feeling is washed out.

    i’ve been unable to kick myself into bed early enough to get 7 hours sleep and unless i go NOW, its going to be another night like that. its horrible – this week i havent gotten more than 5 hours of sleep on any given night. can’t be healthy, but i want to RELAX. sleeping is healthy, but its the mental relaxation that i need. i need to read, to design, to edit photographs, to listen to music, to watch tv. and so this mental relaxation cuts into my sleep time. but i neeeeed this myself time. i can’t stand this constant socialization. and its insane… 20 emails to reply to is a constant. people at work are going crazy lately, so many things are being released, people switching jobs, so everyone are on their heads. and msn/icq is always there too, and the phone and AH. no surprise i can’t handle deviantART.

    i think this was sufficiently egocentric for a typical blog. good night!
