Okay, let's break this down into component parts and see if I can do this. Or at least make it easier to see where my brain is snarling.

Stupid frakking... Oi. Okay. Writing these down now, doing them at work. I should know by now that when I get tired my languages go kind of base over apex. Even English, really.

And that, your honor, was when I fell asleep at 8.30 for about 10, 11 hours. Holy crap. I really must have been tired.

Okay. Um. So, only Japanese today, while I take care of everything else. Maybe a link roundup. Taking it a little easier and trying to get my head on straight and get things sorted. And then game will be light tomorrow, at least, with only three players. But I'm holding it anyway because we need to get people at least sort of rounded up and in the same place at the same time. Haircut today. Maybe early bedtime, maybe not. Slow and steady, and climbing back on the horse and resting over the weekend. And then, next week, see if I can just do the basics. Get that settled.

One night, flubbing pretty much everything I tried to do. Next night, falling asleep at 8.30 and not waking up till 7 hours later, and then going back to sleep for another three hours or so. Clearly, my body is trying to tell me something. I'll be at the front of the store today, so not much opportunity for computer type things, but that may be a good thing anyway. I can do vocab quizzes and my kanji flashcards, since those are on my iPod. ...

... Thank you, Babylon 5, for Stephen's appropriately timed "I kept wanting to do more and wound up doing less." I hear you, Universe. Backing off and calming down now. Pbbthththth.

... BWA HA HA HA HA. Okay, one last adventure in catland before I go to work:
Murdock: PLAY. PLAY WITH ME. *rears up, paws open in the HUG YOU WITH CLAWS stance *
Mikey: FUCK OFF HISS.
Murdock: Fuckingoffnow *flee*
