I somehow fucked up my monitor settings to that the desktop is *bigger* than the screen unless it is at minimum resolution (I can scroll up and down t get to the top or bottom of the desktop though, as needed. How did this happen? I was trying to type '¬_¬' and hit some other key combination.

So how do I fix it?

Anyone? :o

up before 9 - check breakfasted - check. And.... That's about it. Considering that I *was*, in fact, up well before 9 and that it is now 10:15 or so, this has not been the best start to my day. I think that when I start going to the gym next week things ought to go a little better. I am also trying to decide if I want to go in to school today to see if the secretary I need to talk to is in (she's been sick) and pick up a few books from the library, or if I should just wait until Monday. If I do that I'll make today a writing day... But first I should maybe have a shower and get dressed, eh? :p I had a shit ton of bizarre dreams last night. I remember skjaere being in them but she was he only real person, and he rest of it was quite surreal and i'm not even sure I could explain. But she was trying to leave Alaska (?) only she kept getting separated from her big burly protector minotaur thing (?) when she would sit down somewhere random to write some fic so she was having a hell of a time trying to get plane tickets (?) and then her minotaur thing had to fly cargo, like a pet (?) and he was pretty unhappy about that, and then he lost her and wound up in a cage with a bunch of other monster types, who may or may not have had some kind of weird off-screen orgy...(?) Yeah I don't even pretend to know. I almost feel bad for skjaere because it was probably the weirdest dream I have had in a loooong time and really she deserves better company O_O

I love the fact that I have old profs who, when I write to tell them let them know about certain stories I am having published and ask how they have been doing respond with things like "Too much gaming, too little time!"

Well, I pretty much have a place to move in August. i am hoping to move in on the 4th - first weekend. This is both because I am going to be away the second weekend and I am getting back the day before I have to be out, and also to give me some time to make sure I get the place clean and fixed up without rushing, etc.

However, I am a bit anxious because I'm not 100% sure who all i can find to help me move. I am good at offering incentives (free beer and pizza sort of thing), and I will have everything packed well in advance, I'm sure, but I just don't know who all is around and who has vehicles that can help me move the bigger stuff. Maybe I should try and rent a truck for the day or something, and just do most of it myself. Well except that i am moving in to an upstairs apt....

I dunno - there are folks around, I'll just have to figure this out.

This is also reminding me that I need to learn to drive this summer, so I should really get on that ASAP.

In other news, I have booked tickets for TO now - I get in on the 9th at night and leave on the 14th in the am...
