"Skin-tight robes!"
The internet today has been disappointingly dull (though I admit to not having checked "my message board" in some weeks now). I have, however, communicated successfully with several parties across different bodies of water, so not all's lost.
Among the other not-actually-productive things I've done today (none of which include the work I so desperately need to do) number ordering pizza (not over the phone), filling in the numbers on my clear dice with black fineliner pen for easier reading, watching a hilarious clip of Kanjani8 (failing at) eating spicy "death sauce" with a guest including classic Ohkura-flail and some fantastic facial expressions both from the spice-eaters and those laughing at them (Hina), reading several chapters of The Lives of Christopher Chant, and coming up with several resolutions.
These resolutions are as follows:
• Tonight or tomorrow, I will bring my leftover things back upstairs and finish organizing my room.
• Tomorrow, I will go to Waterstone's to pick up (if available) copies of Superior Saturday (Garth Nix), The Time Paradox (Eoin Colfer), and House of Many Ways (Diana Wynne Jones), all of which are meant to have been released two weeks ago.
• Tomorrow, I will write my "envelope" wraparound stuff for the semantic chapter I'm supposed to have been writing these last three weeks and send it off to Philip (by Friday at the latest)
• After I've sent that off, I will begin working on the actual semantic content I need to have before Tuesday and work that as far through as I can.
• Sometime in the next 3 weeks, I will clean the mirrors and glass surfaces in the half-bath.
• Sometime in the next 3 weeks, I will lure/persuade elyndys to help me (in the vehicular sense) take out the cardboard recycling (and the rest of it as well, I suppose).
Those are the only ones sufficiently solidified to immortalize on LJ (almost certainly just to humiliate myself when I fail to keep any of them...), but there are more, sort of.
Geeky sidenote: ThinkGeek now sells mini-Stargates (which I really sort of want, but so does Mom, so I'll let her get one XD) as well as ZPM's...okay, well, sort of. Still - super-cool!
For now, since I've basically requisitioned tomorrow for productivity (::ahem::), I think I'll play some Diablo. I'm actually a little sad I won't be using Mr Scrub (as that would hardly be fair), since I'm learning how to play him and actually enjoying myself (I never thought I'd be able to run a necromancer...), but I'll try another new class and see what happens (though it is tempting to just go around destroying things with Cupcake).
