Warhead On Legs

( Deutsch )

I think this is a combination of routine adjustments working hyper, new computer hyper, and having little enough to do at work that I can sit around and think about things like this, suddenly I have this urge to learn C++, Visual Basic, Perl, re-learn Php... Ai. No! I do not need to learn all the computer languages in addition to all the human languages. I really do not. I'm already living with six human languages in one head, and while I can code with a fair degree of proficiency in the couple languages I learned, I do not need to spend my time coding widgets and doodads when I have a writing list a mile long, an apartment to keep clean, my daily routines to keep up with, my guitar to practice, and RP and TV and things to noodle around on. Plus crafts. I do not need programming languages to noodle on.

(Some people impulse buy. I impulse-study.)

(And apparently check my German by translating it into Spanish. Whoops. Come on, brain. Right language.)

I'm having one of those moments where I realize how many variables I'm juggling at any given moment, how many things I do, and it confounds me how the hell I keep it all straight. It's not quite caterpillar brain but it's damn well leading up to it. Better head that off at the pass with keeping busy somehow. Which is probably how I get into juggling twenty variables at once. It used to be the only thing I juggled that much of was writing projects. Now it's writing projects and everything else.

My terrible, terrible facial scar remains in effect. Still no idea what that random DOS window was, maybe just the fact that I installed a bunch of things the other day and the computer was all "Wait, what? Really? What?" Maybe something else. We'll see what happens over the next day or so, I guess. My days of taking the pocket ninja home and keeping it just in case are certainly coming to a middle. I can't find a damn thing on the subject on the internet so I'm guessing it's just something that happens normally, although since usually that stuff happens "behind the scenes" on bootup, or has in the last couple editions of windows I've worked with, I'm very confused. Eh. If it happens again I'll write down what it says and try and figure it out from there.

Edited to add the icon of awesome.

I am so. So. So damn tired of fucking politics. And politicians. Who think that the best way to do things is a way that's been tried and tried and proven only to enrich those already in power and rich. And who continue to try either because they're greedy fucking bastards who can't stand to see anyone succeed but themselves or because they're incompetent morons who only got into power by the grace of good looks and a good smile and some clever sex act metaphor here I'm too tired to make. I am tired. I want it all to stop.

Unfortunately the universe isn't in the habit of giving me what I want or I'd have a Friesian Ster mare on the farm, and possibly a pretty pretty Friesian gelding to ride. Plus a six book contract. And maybe a German Shepherd. So I'll have to settle for putting it on pause for the next few hours and doing German and shipping and such.

And that's probably enough of that. Holy crap. I can't believe I got all of that done today. And am going to get more stuff done tonight, like Japanese and guitar and writing. Sometimes my mind boggles. And I can't think about all the stuff I've done or will do because I'll start wondering how the hell I'm going to do it all and then I really will fall over.

Thanks, you guys, by the way, for putting up with my link roundups. I have no idea how much it helps anything but my peace of mind, but thanks.

Oof. So, heh, I went to bed early last night, had the weirdest dream I've had in a long time which you can read a couple entries back, and then woke up about half an hour to forty minutes late. Oops. And I'm still tired. I'm pretty sure this is a sign from the universe that I need to take a step back and chill the fuck out, but I'm not sure when to do that. Or how. I could drop Russian for a few days and sleep in, I could drop Japanese for a few days and go to bed early but I already did both of those. I could drop my writing deadlines but, um, no. I could drop my link roundups but that would set off so many things in my head. Maybe take, um. Friday. Off. Or something. I don't know, I'll figure it out. In the meantime, I have shit to do.
