working it

around noon, while pg was washing the dog, i bladed to work. aircon, espresso machine, cookies, internet, music, and a big screen with a mouse and a keyboard? much better.

netbooks are not awesome for actual projects, neither coding nor literary.

i was still irritable yesterday after posting, only less. there's been an awkwardness between pg and myself for the past week or so that i attribute to the idea of having been together so long (for me, this is now officially the second longest relationship i've ever had, and the longest in terms of how much time we actually spend together.

i found myself wondering about the past six months, and about how differently i've been living as opposed to how i would see myself if i wasn't continually stressing about money and exams. it's... it's not me. watching movies instead of going out? and sometimes not even having enough energy to do even that?

i need a reset. i can feel it coming.

---
we had a fight about photographs, and then i felt really bad about it afterwards because what i'd done was no different to what i bitched about before. it's hard to remember that some people really don't dig it.

i attached my netbook to the television, and the results are satisfying even though i have to sit right next to it if i want to play something in the background while i work. it is a nice-to-have, though.

we had a great, simple dinner, then watched one piece until i couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. i was dead, and i'm wondering if it was due to my exhaustion that i didn't enjoy the episodes introducing usopp "the honorable liar," or if it's just that he's an annoyingly stupid character...

i dreamed code - i must get to work. on the work stuff. and i need to prepare for a vampire the masquerade session coming up, and i've just been asked to get involved in an international project called 100 thousand poets for change that sounds really cool, and i gotta start organizing things like anime night for after the holidays...
