the beat's going on

it totally is.

it took a few hours, out of bed and back to bed, before i was feeling alright again. i made a bit of progress on my paper, no thanks to some distractions, and eventually went out for a run (i had to do something physical, i'm certain that this much time seated is messing up my body).

there's nothing quite like a zombie chase starting just as you enter the trees on a dark, deserted section of the path - and being captured in spite of your desperately increased pace... also, i'm beginning to form an emotional attachment to the characters. zombies run! is not a perfect game by any means, but they've put a lot of effort into making the story come alive.
listening to distorted harmony and deathmøle was surprisingly good for my pace.

i passed a couple of elderly women on the way just as their dog, roaming free, stopped to "gift" the sports field next to the bicycle track. it's one thing dealing with arsim who behave like assholes, but when it's people who really should know better it really drives home some perspective :(

pg and i watched a painful episode of the walking dead while eating, and then i got back to work. i do have a lot on my plate, but it's actually become interesting and entertaining so it doesn't matter. i've decided that when i get worn out in an hour or two, i'm going to play games until i'm ready to pass out instead of trying to get to sleep.

i'm sure it's just jet lag.
