October Gloom
That last post, by the way, is my October burn-out in full throttle.
This is how fluid my sense of passing time is: I forget about it every year until I'm well into it. I'll be all frustrated and bored and anti-social. Insomnia will kick in, as it inevitably must, and as it certainly did last Sunday night. Finally I'll have a day like yesterday.
And then I realise I go through this every year.
The days are getting short, the cold's getting some bite to it, and it's been a while since I've had a good break.
But I have (provisionally) RED to go and see on Friday night with tallarn, a week off coming up (more programming study - but interesting study) and Christmas isn't far away (whatever it is I end up doing). I can look at the horizon while waiting for my train and see the red glow of sunset, and maybe the brightening Moon above it.
So yeah, I'll be fine. Just got to get through October.

When you're reading something, does the voice in your head change when you hit some brackets the way it does in mine? If the parenthesis is a real long one, I end up with what's almost like tension in my head that can only be released by a closing bracket. And if the closing bracket is missing, it just messes me right up.
