So ya… Definitely been awhile since the last time I actually got around to posting anything. I think I’m up to about 6 drafts, all left about half unfinished. I seem to get on writing tears wherein I’ll be pounding something out full steam, but before I’m able to come to any kind of conclusion I get distracted and the piece either starts to fall apart or I lose interest in it entirely. Most of the time, I just feel like I’m not actually contributing anything worth reading, which I know is just plain silly. I’ve also got two comics sketched out but my scanner hasn’t been playing very nice with me so I’ve been forced to try and recreate them with a mouse and a prayer in photoshop.
Class starts up tomorrow, bright and early at 8:00am. This would normally not be such a bad thing, except people will basically be speaking to me in gibberish; I’m taking Japanese this semester. Undoubtedly I’ll look like a western barbarian upon entering the class, delightfully sleep deprived and visually stabbing everyone that looks my direction. In (misplaced) hopes that I will be able to get some sleep tonight I’ve imbibed an awesome concoction of benadryl, valerian root and 5HTP - all of which generally help put me out, but give me some insights into the darker sides of hell via dreams. They also tend to trigger SPs (sleep paralysis episodes (another one of the unfinished drafts I’m hoping to get around posting one of these days (right))) which makes me somewhat wary of using them.
Other then all that nonsense I’m doing my best to gear up and get ready for Burning Man. All the basics are now in my possessions and I’m only having to make a few last minute orders concerning noise making devices, though sadly I lost out on a riot-squad megaphone (sigh). This will be the first year I’ll have something to wear other than just shorts and a t-shirt as a friend of mine made me some custom shiny poofter pants! She did an awesome job on them as I think they turned out spectactularly.
At the very least, I’ll exit with this little bit of joy that was presented to me (quite unintentionally) today from my roommate.
After buying books (goodbye ~$550) today, the store was oh-so-kind enough to give me a free planner. The thickness of it was absolutely ridiculous due to the amount of pages dedicated to (worthless) coupons and advertising, so much so that they outnumbered the actual calender/planner pages. It was due to this absurdity in size, that I decided to show it to him and the following exchange took place:
Me: You have to see the size of this planner, can you believe how thick it is!?
*Prime, after staring at it for a moment*: What the fuck is a planner?
Priceless.
