when it rains it pours

I slept all day today and got nothing accomplished. I needed to repay my sleep debt. I have been losing hours of sleep all week and it finally caught up with me. I don't like days like this, especially when I could have been doing a million other productive things. As a result, I'm in the office now at 9pm, toiling away at the computer and I'm wide awake and I have no idea when I'll get to bed and no plans for the night. I think I'll watch the beginning of Battlestar Galactica because i'm allowed to watch those alone. I'm in the middle of my BSG education and I don't want to move forward without my tutor. My hot tutor. I hope she likes the flowers. (I also hope she doesn't read this before she gets them. Frak.)

By opening the door on one opportunity (read: kicking the door in and blowing an air horn), I inadvertently close the door on another. Due to my experiences, I've learned to weigh carefully the decisions that I make, because some of them tend to change the course of your life. You may not think so early on, but chaos theory wins out. If Star Trek has taught us anything, it is that the timeline is a precious, delicate thing. I try to see the future as best I can from this vantage point. I believe this road will yield good things, so I will follow it. I need all the happiness I can get now, because dark times are ahead. Other unavoidable life, work, and family drama are on the horizon. The headaches have also returned.

Still, I cannot help but feel good, and alive.

It's raining out. There's lightning, and a full moon.

trek weirdness and good tidings

I just posted many pictures from the trek con on uglycouchshow.com. I didn't actually go into the con, but I did hang out at Quark's with many old friends. I actually went to see the alien panel, which I was at first skeptical about, but it was well worth the time. It's about time the aliens got a little spotlight time. We were the only good thing about that place for a long time. And I'm glad I got to meet some of the fans i've seen over the years while in costume, and of course some of the aliens I never got to play with.

My office is WAY too comfortable. I actually enjoy going to work. I'm more comfortable there than I am at home. When I get some more money I might consider putting an xbox 360 in there. Then I will never leave.

It's even more comfortable with an absurdly pretty girl on my couch who likes all the geek crap I do. It's pretty awesome how this whole situation is unfolding. I'm really over the moon ab- you know, it just occurred to me that people actually read this nonsense. I mean, I know it's a public blog, but it's easy to forget it's out there for all to see. Hmph. I'll just clam up because I don't want to be all creepy and jinx a good thing.

By the way, this is your reminder: September 19th is talk like a pirate day, or for some, dress like a pirate and get shitty day. You have been warned.

an enviable position

Chartreuse is an amazing, vibrant colo(u)r, not to mention the unique taste of its alcoholic namesake. Sweet liquor lingers on my throat like a pleasant memory, and I've plenty of those today. I pour another glass before I leave for home because I simply want more of a good thing, something I haven't had in quite some time. Chartreuse is worth every penny to a connoisseur of such luxuries. To claim a bottle for your own is an enviable position to be in.

I am distracted. I had a great day today. I hope to have more, and soon.

awesome.

Things appear to be going in the direction of awesome, with the notable exception of my head. I have been fighting off the urge to self-inflict massive cranial damage to end this headache for the greater part of the day and my stomach is upset from taking pain meds. However, I am without doubt that my outward resolve was entirely worth it. Sleep will be a difficult proposition, for reasons of head pain, stomach pain, and a fluttering whimsy at my curious windfall of ridiculous luck. Barry had a very good night.
