I'm just waiting on a train

I cut the tip of my finger off last week.

That kinda sucked.

Actually it's mostly healed. The skin has closed around the end and the part of the nail that I sliced in half has mostly grown out and been clipped off. I only have to keep it covered now when I'm working at the Blood Bank.


--------------------------

The house is coming along -- no new construction, but lots of unpacking. Holy shit, do we have a lot of crap.

We have a fully functional kitchen now, a futon couch for guests, and the vast majority of an office. the_axel and I trotted out to the local supermarket this week and returned with a staggering amount of stuff tipping out of the top of a bundle-buggy.

There is something really satisfying about stocking your very own kitchen with your very own food, even if food mostly means stuff that comes in tins and jars. One of those minor things that makes it feel like "home".

And I was getting really tired of take-out.

--------------------------

I bolted out of the house this weekend with my shirt on backwards because I had an appointment with the people who run Auto Share. Fantastic idea, whoever came up with this. Every city should have one.

I will be ever grateful to Warren Ellis for being responsable for the existance of Transmetropolitan. Now he is writing a story in 60 posts on LJ as mistersleepless.

Really Cool Shit.

--------------------------

I'm not very good company these days. I have been increasingly cranky over the last couple of weeks, to the point where I feel like I am constantly suppressing the urge to punch somebody.

Tiredness and stress I suppose.

I took a couple of hours to go the pub the other night and got to see missjanette. Which was cool. But I caught myself wondering if I should even be there -- I'm sure I'm fuck awful company.

Best line of the night:

the_siobhan "I can't find my boots -- I think they're in a box."

electrolyte "Who's?"

It would probably be worth taking the time to go to the gym or go running if it will help me focus -- if I could ever find a couple of hours in my schedule where I'm not having to be somewhere else.

Less than a month... then I get my life back.

Pfft. That's how I feel all the damn time, and you keep telling me I'm wrong.

pfft.
cut it out, both of you. Not fuck awful company, neither of you.
Quite lovely, in fact.
I just feel bad that I dont get to stay longer to have conversations that are a bit more one on one rather than yelling over a billion ppl. ah well. there will be more time for that soon, tho not soon enough.

bad company

I don't think I'm bad company all the time.

I was expressing concern that I might not be able to keep the crap in my head from leaking out all over my friends.

Did I mention that Warren Ellis is doing an album on Wasp Factory in the near future yet?

You and me both. Haven't seen me around much lately? That's why.

I'd be less stressed if I did yoga. I'd do yoga if I had more time.

skree! oh, i love you so. i nipped right over and devoured every word. this is a most interesting development in LJ. i especially like his meta-posts. technogoth, indeed.

I've figured out over the past year that exercise is pretty much the only thing that helps me focus when I'm stressed. Without it, I start forgetting things, get stuck on trivial jobs, etc.

I usually have to drop other things (e.g. lunch) to do it. Sucks, but without fifteen laps and a schvitz three times a week I get way further behind than I do when I take that time.

you are SO NOT unfun these days. you're not at all awful company.

i couldn't think of a way to say that without a double negative. even the resident grammar nazi has her off days.
