-Pirates and rum ( Read more... )

...on my sleep. I didn't get much sleep last night, by choice rather than from stress. I also haven't had much by way of caffeine in two days, also by choice. So I sleepwalked through my two hour shift in the IMC, playing Scrabble in German, and then picked David's brain for a bit. Bonnie kicked somebody out of the living room so we could ( Read more... )

I keep being almost done. For the past week (month) I've been saying that just one more day will do it. This time I know I can do it. All I have left on my cycle is a little proof reading on my last song ( Read more... )

I suppose now is as good a time as any to write a bit about my current classes ( Read more... )
