I have made poor use of my Monday.

I took up playing Umineko no Naku Koro ni again, and have been going at it pretty steadily today. I managed to not spend all day at it, taking up some other time reading Gaudy Night and other time doing some actual work. I have some dubious ambitions in the web design direction, which I'm really hoping will help ( Read more... )

I'm blaming this picspam on Jim, because he asked about the trees around here, although I admit he did not ask about the apartment buildings, the chipmunks, or the random bowls of matcha.

Also a few disconnected updates:

I am trying to sell off my old pen tablet so I can replace it with a new model. It is a really very nice pen tablet that ( Read more... )

Gave the website a seasonal update.

Called up my client, but he couldn't talk because he's taking his dog in for surgery. Now I am waiting for him to call back later today, feeling terribly restless and not knowing what to do about it.

Have mostly gotten over the cold, but still coughing up a storm. Medicine's not really helping. Can't sleep. Very tired ( Read more... )

Another delusion of my youth shattered: Adults are too responsible to be stuck rushing around trying to get their work done at the last minute.

Have to try out Photoshop Elements 8 for a client. Reviews on download.com warn that Elements 8 is only useful for inducing severe mental illness.

This'll be fun.

I'm sitting in my room wearing a kimono and drinking lapsang souchong out of a clay teacup. I feel like I should be feeling pretty good about this, especially since I'm almost literally surrounded by images of Ryougi Shiki. Unfortunately I'm just a little too tense for things to feel perfect. Man, all I do is complain, huh ( Read more... )

A while back, a friend and I decided that, since we don't even know if Ryougi Shiki has an official birthday, let alone what it might be, that it ought to be today. Why? Because we're dorks.
