welcome to overload
I've been cutting back pretty decisively on junk food eating lately. It made me realize that junk food had in fact been one of my stress relief tricks. I haven't really found a replacement for it yet. Bite-size sections of video game time seem to work okay - I played a bit of a game called Risen yesterday. It's a fantasy setting but more Caribbean than European. It seems pretty neat.
Foodwise - Friday night was a cheat night though. We got our friends together to watch Conan the Barbarian and eat hot dogs and jambalaya. (And wine.) That might sound cheap, but we had really been looking forward to hot dogs. It was a pretty successful night, I think? We watched the Fifth Element as well. A very strange movie, even having seen it previously.
For the first time, I think I am going to get a batch of beer bottled on schedule. I tend to leave them in the primary for a bit on the long side - it generally doesn't hurt anything, and I get caught up in other things. But we'll see if I have the energy to do so after the department conference on Saturday.
I did a lot yesterday in the hopes that it would smooth out the rest of the week. No such luck, it would seem. Today's been frustrating. Too much caffeine? Not enough? It is hard to tell.
