Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

Anyone want to talk about feelings?

Man, I am BORED as shit right now. It's one of those moments where you feel like you're bugging out. Sort of like cabin fever. I guess I know the ins and outs of the house, so I'm a little accustomed to it.

This feeling is partly because I feel like I didn't accomplish anything today. I only did a small bit of work on my CS234 program (though that portion is done), and only some brainstorming for my critical comparison, which I hope to have done by Monday night. I spent more time than I should have watching the Simpsons today, and some other assorted tv as well. I made alfredo sauce for part of my supper, but the milk I used tastes like CRAP so the sauce is more or less inedible.

I'm not as tired as I should be at 1:30. I'm sure most of you can relate when I say that I don't want to go to bed because I feel like my day isn't really quite over yet. You can't really go to bed until you feel that you've done something with the day. I suppose making this blog post is about as productive as I'm going to get tonight.

There's not really anyone on MSN either. I don't know who exactly I'd like to talk to the most right now...probably Holly, or maybe Laura...good kids. I haven't talked to Adam in a while either, I wonder how he's doing. I can't say I have anything too exciting to talk about, but I'm sure I can make up some conversation if need be.

I struck up a conversation with Sonja the other day...it died off in about three minutes. It's almost like there's too much to talk about, so I don't know what to talk about (and it's all just "catching up" sorta stuff). Man, my writing skills are taking a dump right now, and for that I apologize. Sometimes I just like to ramble, and I don't pay attention to verb tense, word choice, or parallel structure. I hope you don't need a rosetta stone to decipher my posts.

I cleaned the house a bit today. That is, I vacuumed a few rooms. I think maybe tomorrow I'll get a one dollar mop and bucket and do the kitchen up nice and good. I suppose I really do have a lot more time than I would on a regular term. If I could only utilize it a bit better, I could accomplish a lot. I realize I must waste a lot of time, because I have four full days to get all my work done, but I sometimes still feel pressed for time. I can't even think of where it all goes...probably bad sleep schedule, watching TV, and hanging around doing nothing with the roommies. I guess I spend way too much time on my computer, doing nothing (not unlike right now).

I played Civ 4 today, just the tutorial level. I finished the tutorial but it crashed shortly after. I really should have expected that, what with it being pirated and all. I found it a bit too open and hard to follow. It would take too much time to actually figure out what all the technologies and civics did.

I am TOTALLY rocking out to Hopesfall with my headphones on right now, and I am TOTALLY intending on typing out a lot of useless, useless information in this post. I certainly hope you people enjoy reading this, cause otherwise, who will hear my woeful cries?

Hm, I found out the other day that the Witness Protection Program broke up. That saddens me. I had fully hoped I'd get to hear them live one day, but I guess they've gone the way of Chore. What I really don't like is that I really want to go to their shows so that I can actually buy their cds which are painfully obscure. I don't want to have to order them online, and there's no other way to get their stuff.

I wonder if this post will wind up breaking my old record of approximately 2000 words. I wonder if, now that I've wondered that, I'll make a conscious effort to do that in which case it really defeats the purpose. Hm, I justs checked, and I'm only at ~750 words, so I don't think I'll be awake nearly long enough to break the 2k mark.

I have some gift cards here that are a year old, I think. I have no reason to use them. No one ever has the time or money to go out for a nice meal.

I'm not sure if I'll ever know what I want out of life, or if I'll ever truly be happy with what I have. The grass is always greener, I guess. I think ignorance is bliss. If you don't know what you're missing out on, you could never miss it. Like chocolate. If you never had any before, it's probably easier to not have any for your entire life, but once you have some, you think "man, I could go for some more of that". Or making out. Whatever.

Hm, should I set my alarm tomorrow morning? It'll only be six hours of sleep I get, max. I think I'll leave the alarm off and just roll my sorry ass out of bed at noon. It's a tough call. Today I had the alarm set for 8:15, but left the radio on until 11 AM. What do you think, is that being awake? I heard some of the songs, but I wasn't fully conscious.

There is no deal on PS2s this week. I'm very disappointed. I think I'm going to have to hold out for YET ANOTHER WEEK because I can't really see any pressing reason to get one now. I doubt I'll have any reason to watch a DVD this week, and I'm trying to convince myself that I'm too busy to play any PS2 games. If there's no deal next Friday, I think I might have to murder someone. It's the only way I could possibly set my mind at ease.

You know what I should do? I should finish all my work tomorrow, and then spend ALL DAY Monday playing video games. No, actually...I'd probably want to play one of my burned games, and for that I should wait for the new console which is hopefully a little more reliable in that regard. Then I should...finish all my work tomorrow and spend all day Monday studying for my midterm the following Tuesday! But that's not nearly as exciting. Doesn't matter much, cause I doubt I'll finish my comparison paper in one day. That is, if I did I doubt it would be very good, but then again I'm not really aiming for perfection.

Well I think maybe that's it. I think I'm done feeding my thoughts through my keyboard into a text box that will soon be posted to the internet, where anyone can find it, so long as they know the right way to find it. It's my little contribution to the soon to be current state of the public universe.

Listening to... Hopesfall - Manipulate the Eclipse
Link of the moment... I don't like how this tastes on bread. What does it go well with? I'm thinking graham crackers or pretzels.
