so yeah, it’s six thirty seven ante meridian. wondering what the hell i’m doing writing the journal entry at the [for lack of a better term] asscrack of dawn? i’ll tell you: i’ve been up all frigging night. yes, it’s true. and for no good reason either! woo!

i decided to forego the joys of the cruxshadows last night, for no reason other than my own laziness and the vague intention of saving some money, as both halloween and the rasputina show are approaching rapidly. so instead i spent the afternoon in another gorey bloodfest - spencer, tycho, and a bunch of bots and i played a hell of a lot of quake. i’ve now got that nifty thing going where i close my eyes and see pixelated grenades flying at my head.

on the way home i experienced yet another instance of that phenomenon which frequently makes me miss or nearly-miss my stop: every time i get into some sort of vehicle of transportation, be it subway or cab or plane or what have you, i fall immediately and deeply asleep. the advantage to this is that i get to squeeze in another forty minutes or so of blissful unconsciousness on my way to work in the morning, but the downsides end up outweighing this perk, i think: i have to try to sleep with a hand on each pocket and i frequently wake up in the wrong borough.

anyway, i arrived at my abode and spent a little time gettin’ my geek on. spoke to tycho for a while, and somehow it’s nearly seven am and i’m still awake. it’s all good, though - i have today in its entirety to enjoy the comforts of my pj’s if i so desire. which is fortunate, because i’m starting to feel like i’m getting sick. i think i caught it from spencer, the bastard. i mean that in the nicest possible way, of course.

now, i know i’ve linked the bejeezus out of thinkgeek [and rightly so], but it occurs to me i’ve uttered nary a peep concerning copyleft, which is by no means undeserving of such inattention. if they had this in black, you know i’d already have one. ditto for this appealing garment: i have to admit i giggled when i saw it. for something more in the opiniony-writing vein, check this out; i haven’t even gone through the whole thing myself, it’s true, but what i’ve seen looks promising. ditto for this fine sepcimen of web: i read it sporadically, and though i’m not exactly a devoted fan i think it’s entertaining.

anyway. i can feel the coherence just trickling away even as i type, so i think i might be off to bed at this point. who knows, though? who really knows?
