It's past 4 in the morning, and who's up? Oh right, me. And no one but me ( Read more... )

Waking up when it's not dark is really nice. I got to do that this morning, after getting a full 7 hours of sleep, definitely the most I've gotten any night this week. Too bad it's going to be getting light later and later. I hate that part of winter, honestly. I wish we could have long days, just with winter weather. Although, I know that ( Read more... )

First day of classes went well. Long, but what can you do ( Read more... )

I test-rode my bike commute to PSU today. It went well, all things considered. I didn't die ( pain, adventure, and mexican food )

It's pretty bad when I need a search function on my email inbox. And that's sort of a litmus test of my entire life right now. So much to do, and a decent amount of motivation, but I can't seem to get organized enough to do any of it. I did move some furniture downstairs, though ( Read more... )

Inspiration is great. And even the rote act of art. And good conversation over bad coffee (once it gets started... amazing how it can stall when people think you hate/are mad at them). And sleep deprivation, when used appropriately, like caffeine ( Read more... )

Up towards the top of my favorite things list is pistachio pudding. They didn't have it in Spain, and I missed it. I had some yesterday, and some more today, and it's yummy ( Read more... )
