(no subject)
I am drowning in the amount of good television there is to watch on the internet. I just finished Veronica Mars, which was amazing and therefor got canceled too soon. I'm watching Battlestar Galactica, The Office and still haven't finished the last season of Angel. I want to watch The Invisibles, a British crime comedy starring Anthony Stewart Head, also Merlin a reimagining of the King Arthur story with Anthony Stewart Head playing Arthur's dad who is cast as a villain. The new school year will bring with it a new season of Californication and then a new season of Dollhouse. I also have plenty of X-files to watch that I haven't.
I guess that's why I've only read one book this summer so far. It's been long enough that I am no longer burned out on Haruki Murakami novels, so I read Norwegian Wood and have started reading After Dark. I also read Alan Moore (writer of V for Vendetta)'s erotic graphic novel Lost Girls, which was crazy.
As for life in the "real world" that adults so endearingly like to bring up, I am registered for classes (waitlisted for creative writing and intro to US government) and got a new batch of birth control pills (enough for a whole year.) Each of those accomplishments required me to give up a night of sleep, since I actually get days of sleep on my current schedule which doesn't really work for the whole operating in the "real world" thing. Every lead for an internship or job so far has evaporated, and I know I haven't been seeking them out agressively enough. My grandma's out of town, so by teen/20-something law I should be throwing a kickin' rad party at her house, but I have a feeling it is more likely to be a small group of friends and beers. Francis is all down because he got a virus on his computer and had to reformat and is continuing to have issues finding a version of windows that works right. I finally have my bike in operation and in the same place I am, which is useful.
What do I need to do? How do I escape my endless loop of terrible sleep habits, and what would my goal be in doing so? These are the questions I have for myself. It's starting to get less idyllic and fun and more disorienting and pointless. I don't like feeling like I never leave the house. I don't like being purposeless. I need a job. Which means I need to print out some resumes, call some contacts, have a clean set of presentable clothes and be awake at a real time. I need a hair cut, I think that might be my next concrete goal, because I don't feel confident in the world with this mess of fried shapeless hair hanging from my head. Once my classes begin I will have to have a sleep schedule closer to teenage lay about, further from nocturnal freak. I will be out and about more. Ideally I will have more access to coffee.
I finished After Dark, which was actually a lot like my life as it is only involved more diners (and probably more magic realism.) I wish there were all night diners in Sacramento. I'm craving coffee even though what I need is sleep. Francis and I will have more aligned sleep schedules when classes start, which will also be nice. We've both been all over the map as far as when we go to sleep. If we go to sleep at the same time it tends to be 6 in the morning. But sometimes I just don't go to sleep, last night he didn't until this afternoon and tonight he turned in at midnight.
So. I need to do those things you do to get a job. I guess if I'm not going to sleep right now I should do a sweep of craigslist.
