Sitting outside on the back deck of our cottage, watching the sunset and listening to my favourite playlist. The temperature is nice, around 22 degrees C or so, and there's a nice breeze blowing off the water. Typing it all on my iPad, which has a great WiFi signal strength on this side of the cottage ( Read more... )

... is snatching game pictures off the online site extension and spamming them elsewhere. I find far too much joy in doing this. :D

Just a brief follow-up concerning my previous entry re: sleeping difficulties.

Upon the brilliant suggestion of baratron, I picked up a travel sleeping mask this past Tuesday evening and have been taking advantage of it each night since. Initially I was a bit worried that it'd be uncomfortable wearing something around my head while trying to sleep but it ( Read more... )

I'm not quite sure when this started anymore, but for the past 3-4 weeks, regardless of what time I've gone to bed, I've been unable to properly sleep beyond 5-6 AM. Originally 6 AM appeared to be the target time that my internal body clock would wake me for but the past couple of weeks have been closer to 5 AM. I'm willing to bet that it has ( Read more... )

But, for the first time, I feel like I could start to hate myself. The Yukinoshita Yukino I've seen all this time was always beautiful, pure, never told a lie, and could stand on her own feet ( Read more... )

It's nice sometimes to realize that you've gained the respect of your peers, co-workers, and students simply by being yourself. People keep thanking me lately and students keep hugging me out of the blue, telling me how much they've enjoyed having me as a teacher. I'm a modest person but, y'know, it still makes me smile to hear it. It reminds me ( Read more... )

A crap load of Pokemon X&Y information was revealed earlier today and tonight ("today" being June 11th). reporterdemelza kept me sane throughout the reporting of it all this evening. She's super awesome like that. <3

Sleepy time now. It's 1:16 AM and I need to be up for 7 AM. Good times. :D

I was only able to watch Microsoft's E3 conference yesterday but I think I'll give Sony's a watch at some point this week. It sounds like some good stuff was announced during it and people seem to be feeling pretty confident that (at this time) PS4 is looking to be a better option than ( Read more... )

I finally slept for more than 4-6 hours for the first time in over a week... and it feels amazing. Day has been made. :D ( Read more... )
