Current Ramblings

My new car stereo needs an "Emo" setting.
I find myself overwhelmed with entertainment options lately, and like a computer trying to run too many tasks at once, it causes me to freeze up and do little more than stare at a slowly scrolling IRC window all evening. In light of my haul from England, both from book shops and Graham's Aunt Susan, who has the best house in the whole world, I have put myself on hiatus from buying any more books until I've finished more of the ones I already own. It doesn't help that I already had a backlog of books I hadn't read before I left; working at a used book shop with a really good discount will do that to a person. I should spend more of my time working through that backlog and less staring at this computer screen, but then I also have all those games I should play and those DVDs I really should watch at some point, having shelled out $20 or so for them and all, and I really need to edit up some of my pictures so I can get them online, and maybe there's something more to read on AlterNet.org, or by some miracle Warabi has updated with more illustrated episode reviews and not more picutres of Transformers Armada and Energon characters as hot anime chicks. So I just sit here surfing when I could be doing things that will reduce my backlog. I just took an hour's break to read another chapter of the ass-kicked old copy of A People's History of the United States I've been working on for weeks (having taken about a week off to read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which I really liked). So I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I'm not around much, if I'm not updating much, bear with me. I've got a lot of work to do.
