Strange couple of weeks, again. I am having the hardest time yanking myself out of vampire mode, and it’s driving me crazy. It’s 4:34 in the morning as I write this and for the past two hours, I’ve pretty much been up just to be up, like when I was young and stupid. As I’ve [...]

Ugh. My first two weeks of summer vacation were glorious. I spent a few days in what really amounts to hibernation, like I do during all my breaks. When we were in college, R was convinced that she could catch up on missed sleep during breaks after trimesters, then bank sleep for the upcoming trimesters. [...]

Thus I die. Thus, thus, thus. Now I am dead, Now I am fled, My soul is in the sky. Tongue, lose thy light. Moon, take thy flight. Now die, die, die, die. I shan’t even insult you by citing the quote. You know who it is and from which play. Thus spring break comes [...]

One of my goals was to get enough sudoku puzzles written to cover me through the end of fall. In a surprising burst of luck and productivity, I wrote four puzzles Saturday, tying a record for me. Seriously, that has only happened once. This time it was smooth sailing. I often have to start over [...]
Tuesday was pretty good. Didn’t feel like hitting the ocean but I did anyway and swam a lightpole further than I did Monday. Had breakfast, then hung at the bookstore for a bit. Can’t remember what I did there, so it must not have been very important. Ran a few errands, then got home in [...]

You’ll notice that my list of stuff I want to do this summer is almost entirely the kind of thing one does by oneself. This should come as a surprise to nobody, but it definitely causes problems when I also want to be socially available. Saw a film with Reid today, and then we had [...]

I really dislike weekends during my summer vacation. One of the best things about being on vacation is getting to do things when everyone else is working. On weekends, it feels like people are suddenly invading your turf. I felt sorta trapped Saturday and Sunday, not eager to get out and about while everyone else [...]

I woke up early ’cause I was gonna hit a cafe and just get some serious writing done, but then I remembered that today was the running of the Belmont, and I had to see Mine That Bird win at the mile-and-a-half distance, which I was pretty sure he would. He didn’t. So in the [...]
