I got up this morning and changed into clean comfy pj pants.

Then, other than walk the dogs, all I did today was knit, write, and watch Clone Wars. We got into the first arc of season 6, which means we got to end end of Season 5 and man, there were some ~feeeels~ even though I spoiled myself semi-accidentally. Feeeeels! But considering the movies it is probably for the best? Probably? ~cryptic commentary~

I meant to go to bed an hour or more ago. I am terrible at going to bed.

Oh also wererogue made maple bacon cookies that turned out pretty good!

Stop lazing about on your ass, lady, you have shit to do!

-get dressed
-lunch
-laundry
-vacuuming
-groceries?
-read bermuda book <3 (a bit...)
-food for lunch tomorrow (see above re: groceries)
-game tonight?

Prepped a brisket and some tomato...sauce/chili thing in the crock pot, I just have to remember to put it in when I go to bed tonight. And wake up to delicious meat :D

I also skype/irc attended my sister's baby shower this afternoon, which is why I didn't get to vacuuming or more reading. But the book is good so far!

Bees are mounting, and so I've been cranky lately, and little things are making me feel snappish when they shouldn't.

And then as I was walking to the bus stop after class and talking to Megan, I tripped on a combination of my skirt and some uneven flagstones, and twisted my ankle. So since my reaction to pain is generally to get really cranky*, you can imagine my mood at the moment. I'm not cranky really, but murder is lurking under the surface.

So no only does my ankle hurt no matter what I do, I skinned my knee on the other side (not a real problem), and tore the aforementioned skirt. It is one of my favourites. I inherited it from my mom - it is the one that is mostly a dark pink and then fades to almost tie-dyed or drip-dyed purple, beige, and green at the bottom, with fancy embroidery swirls... Sadness ;_;

And almost all my dishes are dirty, and I'd have to stand to wash them. And I don't have any food I want to eat. And I still have to finish a presentation I hate for tomorrow. And etc...

*depending on what kind of pain, anyway. This kind of pain where there is nothing I can do about it (except take drugs, which I did, and there is ice on my foot now) and it prevents me from operating normally makes me cranky >:|

ETA: And damn it - I want a cheeseburger ;_;
ETA II: And I think I left my nalgene at the bus stop. And there was a dead cockroach in my kitchen -_-

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

What I *am* doing - I just set up a blog on blogger for professional type stuff, until I have actual time and inclination to set up a real website. It is over here.

What I *should* be doing: I have to submit a 100 word abstract for the symposium at SHA in November... Due next Friday, and I hope to get it done before I leave the country again. I am also supposed to be looking over my Bahamas stuff... Oh and I need to do laundry tomorrow or Sunday.

It s 2:40 here, and I'm not dressed. I did get up and brush my teeth, and have a banaa around 9:30, after I'd been up for an hour... Which will tel you how long I've been at this. I have pretty much done nothing other than eat cookies and watch Battlestar Gallactica. I was going to try and stop around noon, but the 'to be continued...'s just kept coming for 3 or 4 episodes straight. Now I am at a good stopping point. I should get up, get dressed.... maybe even have a shower. Do something with my day. Write, at least. Maybe read something. I have a lot of books kicking around that would like reading or re-reading. I need to do something with the rest of my asparagus in the fridge. i was thinking of making soup but then I'd have to go out and buy stuff. And I don't need to buy anything else, so.... *shrug*.

I really want to go see Snakes on a Plane. i don't, however, wan to taxi there and back, and pay for the movie. Too much money. i have no income here, and that is kind of scary. I'm hoping that I can get some kind of job working for he department - we'll see.

I should try and meet people here, too, so that I'm not just sitting around my house on the computer or what have you when I don't have anything else to do. I have contact info for people locally, but I'm, well, lazy and nervous. I had a weird dream about trying to break into a LARP game last night and i was ind of disturbing.

So instead of me doing anything productive, you get to read this post, I think I am going to make myself a chicken sandwich and have some cheese and water, and chat with online people. And hen... who knows. Probably just more lazing about.....

I am bad. I did a little work today, but mostly I dicked around on the net and did nothing *useful*. I read through some stuff and organized some things, and that's about it. I just lose all my desire to be productive when I'm here, it seems. That is a Very bad Thing. I need to get back into my reward system, where working for X amount of time means a half hour of internet 'play' time. I did reply to one outstanding e-mail at least, but it was a 'persona;' one. I should send some more of these as well. I just don't like writing e-mails.

I have a related dilemma as well. I am trying to decide if I should send anything to the UCL guy. He did sent me some encouragement about the financial situation at least.... but he is on vacation. He did give me another e-mail where I could reach him, though. And I know that he is in the state, even. In fact he'd initially offered to meet me in person while he was here, but that doesn't work so well if I can't get around :p And on Wednesday, I'm going to the SHA conference and will be away, so... I'm not entirely sure what I should say at this point anyway. I mean, he offered to talk to me, if I don't pursue that, is that being lame? or just courteously allowing him to enjoy his vacation? In fact I understand he recently married a lady from NC and is probably meeting/visiting family here. But the 'main' holidays are over now... Argh! I am so terrible at decisions. I guess I'll just e-mail some of *my* family for now and worry about him later. Rar.

I wish I were feeling inspired enough to do something actually creative. We'll have to see about that too, I suppose. I am just full of lethargy and listlessness.
