I'm cold, hungry, and somewhat incoherent. Also, GIP.
I should have opted for the construction of typing gloves yesterday rather than napping on the sofa. My fingers, I cannae feel them. I should also have figured out a way to get the kerosene smell out of the carpet from where the pump leaked fantastically, but I just dumped Febreze on it and hoped. Lo, I am lazy. I'm not sure why jet-lag affects me so differently depending on which direction I'm traveling, but there you have it. East is endless, spazzy energy. West is days of listlessness. Henceforth, I shall travel only eastward. Lucky thing the world turned out not to be flat.
...I need more coffee.
Anyway, I made myself an icon last night to celebrate my frightening addiction to love for the Thief series, even if I was somewhat disappointed in the third installment (I mean, an Expert mode that lets you kill guards? Bah!). It occurs to me that the icon is technically something of a spoiler, but I'm telling myself that it's not really a spoiler unless you already know what's going on, and anyway it's not significantly more spoilerish than the box art for the second two games. Besides, I've always wanted an icon with this particular aphorism on it. >:)
In other news, I might be getting something done right now if I'd remembered to bring the notebook full of the NaNo-related stuff that I jotted down on my flight, but I left it on the sofa this morning. Too bad, or I'd be teaching myself how to make a PostScript font for the conlang that's a bit further along. Syllabic alphabets are fun! It'd probably be a pain to implement pitch-indicating diacritics in a font, though.
And none of this conlang business is strictly plot-necessary, but I distract easily and prefer to approach stories with at least ten times as much background information as I need. On the up side, my crazy-stupid amounts of constructed history make it much easier for me to slide the technology level around. Pity they're not helping much with, you know, the actual plot. Then again, who needs plot when you find yourself referring to one of your characters as Gangster!Jesus?
I wish I had a sandwich.
