I just thought of something

why, exactly, did I get a commission receipt on Sunday? especially since they pay commissions by crediting your, well, credit card, and they don’t do that on Sundays?

are Id nuts, or just crazy?

I find myself very glad I have that new drive. and wondering just how “well” my system will run the damned game...

too much sugar

my desktop looks very different again. I’m not sure whether I like it or not yet.

changed an icon. maybe I’ll take that commission and get some time so I can actually have a comfortable number.

feeling strangely hyper!giddy!melancholy this morning, which is why I’m still awake. should have gone to bed 7 or 8 hours ago; meant to go to bed 5 hours ago. needless to say, I didn’t manage either.

hungry, but I’m always hungry when I go to bed. helps me sleep, oddly. more importantly, it helps me sleep less than 12 hours at a shot.

kind of mood that deserves cool weather and darkness. and quiet. moonless night, late fall, around 0300, for waking; mid‑winter, around 2300, for sleeping. bit an edge to the chill; just enough to make a thick pile of blankets almost painfully pleasurable.

my mind is attempting to reach “elegant, poetic phrasing.” it’s making me sick, actually. going to go to bed before I do something that’ll really disturb me when I wake up.

der bruder is home!

does anyone else read !important in CSS as not important?
