Some experimental notes

Aw, come on, you know you've been wanting one.

Tonight I am not reading another Sookie Stackhouse* novel and I shut off the video game of the moment (Torchlight, http;//www.torchlightgame.com/ is a perfect replacement for Diablo II with all of the gameplay mechanics, fixed, and a bunch more with nice 3d graphics and a clever story**). i had some caffeine with dinner and switched to water after one glass. (Last night I had Sprite™ wit my burger). I put on the sleep playlist, put the gaming machine to sleep, set myself awaya nd coaxed the cat to follow me to bed.

Two albums later the music has stopped and I didn't get to sleep. Brain hardly let up. In fact the hyperactive brain chatter seems worse now that I have landed a new job than when I was suddenly completely out of work and not sure how I was going to pay for things. New job starts next week. It's a big deal and I'm quite nervous. Probably need to buy some more clothes, for instance. I intend to work on that tomorrow ... even if I have to stay up all night.

Should I wear a hat to the office? There's one here for me to try. I have managed to talk myself out of buying a briefcase before I know what's going on over there ... these and other ponderings keeping me awake are brought to you by AMC's television show Mad Men, closing in on the end of their third season.

Much more exciting still is that they have a new property based on the quirky classic show The Prisoner coming out shortly: http://www.amctv.com/originals/the-prisoner/

So, since the is the first mention of it here: Yay, new job with awesome company.

( Footnotes and their footnotes )

First woke at 6, talked on the phone some without leaving bed. Didn't feel up to leaving bed, or moreover I found the possibility distant. Whether through defeatist self-fulfilling prophecy or intense self knowledge ... yeah I woke up a few more times, but didn't really feel awake-awake until just then, at about 2 till 0100. This after going to bed ontime, albeit without eating anything past a meal-sized breakfast.

all for 'today' then?

• Media Consumption update: movies, podcasts, a magazine ..
• food was had in approximation and experiment
• olpc testing, underway
• tag office, after dawn
• ...
• photoshop lessons?
• adjusted mustachios post shower

LaterHmm... Well I ended up back in bed again after awhile, having absorbed some food and movie and such, and now I'm attempting to resume normal functions at approximately the right time. Odd little holiday ...
