Right.

Back from the 'rents. Gamed to my heart's content, although I didn't actually get to finishing .hack//outbreak. I'm right on the doorstep, though, so the next time I have uninterrupted gaming, I should finish that sequence and move on to the final chapter. Perhaps by then, I'll have a device of my own to play games on. I can only wonder.

For those of you who do not read D.C. Simpson's political comic, I Drew This, you should. He has an excellent eye for making fun of not only political figures, but facets of policy that should be ridiculous to anybody and are yet the most strongly upheld tenets of their respective ideologies. He happens to enjoy thrashing the American bastardization of conservatism best (probably because of a lot of exposure to it), but he does it so well. If you're not politically inclined, then read Ozy and Millie instead. If you should happen to find a spare copy of the House Rules Parcheesi around, do let me know. I think I left mine there the last time Ozy and I played.

And then there was the strange console / Final Fantasy VI ending thing that's been floating around. Interesting, but not enough to warrant linking. The music's good, though.

Anyway, that's all I've got for tonight - I'm already past my bedtime. I need to remember to pester the professor about the paper tomorrow. And then write the one that's due Friday.

Bah.

Today was productive, at least - I put down draft materials on my papers that are yet to be due. Tomorrow, perhaps, if the fates are kind, I'll pester my GSI about one, and then put the two draft segments together on the other and give my other prof a pass at it on Wednesday. Slowly, but surely, I'm finishing things up. Maybe then, I can try and find myself a job, although there's still one more paper that hasn't been decided yet and the exams thing. Oh, well. I can still make it work out, really. It may mean I need the lifespan-extending pill, but I can make it work. (No idea whether that article's true or bogus...)

I've also picked up more vid game remixes of various styles and navigated some pages in Japanese, although I can't read a whit of the writing. (Like I need more of this stuff... my hard drive will soon be taken over.) I've got a couple episodes of stuff here and there to watch, too, so maybe tomorrow I'll declare moratorium on work until I get caught up on my anime. Won't take too long, and I'll be doing work while at work, so I might even be able to justify it to myself, too.

Bah. I'm getting toward my summer vacation blues, or something like that. Maybe it's the end-of-school-year anxieties setting in. Either way, I wish it were easier for me to actually get a job, and with grad school rather than regular school looming, I'd like to have a position that pays decent money for once. But those sorts of things seem destined for people who will be working at that job more than just the summer. Ah, well. I'll find something, I know I will. Maybe I'm just tired, and I should go to bed, so that my outlook on life will be sunnier in the morning. And so that I don't think about trying to fall asleep at the desk, too. Although I did fall sleep twice in lecture today - unintentionally, I assure you. I did manage to stay awake through discussion, though, and the lecture afterward. (Pointless ramble count: 1)

I'll capitalize on that suggestion and go to bed, then.
