Posty spam!

Elizabeth Peters is an evil, evil woman. The more I read, the more I want. I got my hands on a copy of "The Falcon At the Portal" and it just about broke my heart in twelve separate pieces. Wah! Nefret! Wah! Ramses! Waaaaaaah!

:::gets stabbed repeatedly in heart by cruel, merciless author:::

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for her to do that to her characters.

owldaughter is entirely to blame for my current heartbreak: she introduced me to the series.

In other news, work is work. I have so many things going on these days that I have no time at all to post about them, and more stuff is piling itself on top of that, and yet I still have to wedge sleep in there somewhere. Sleep-deprived!Phnee is not a fun Phnee, let me tell you.

Let's make a grocery list of stuff that's taking place in Phnee's existence these days:

( This got long... )

Anyway, that's what I'm up to these days (and in the near future). I had a lovely chat on the phone with

joane and

shenlo later on. I looked up their number on canada411.com, since for some reason I didn't have it. I'm not much of a phone person as a rule, but I thought it was high time we have a voice-to-voice conversation as opposed to just an online chat. Not that those aren't a great way of communicating, but sometimes it's nice to hear people's voices on the other end of the line. Also, I got to squee in person about Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, which is all to the good. :)

Now I'm going to bed. Might post a poll about the aforementioned filter first, but then definitely bed. :)

Inertia won out

I've been going to bed ridiculously late all week. Decided that staying out dancing until 2am was not the answer to my sleep-deprivation problems, especially as tomorrow is not only going to start early, it's also going to finish late.

So.

Stayed home.

I have many things simmering on the back burners of my brain. You know how stoves usually only have the four heating elements? The stove in my brain seems to have been designed for a large-scale restaurant.

I don't need to rethink my life. Not right now. Things are, all in all, pretty good. I do, however, want to clarify some of the goals and projects I have in mind. I have a fair amount of energy these days, which is all to the good. I'm also feeling tired and often stressed out (mostly at work, but also about some personal stuff), which is generally a Big Neon Sign that I need to take a step back and chill the fuck out before I do something I'll regret.

The first step is getting more sleep. I always, always, and I do mean always, do better when I've slept my requisite seven to nine hours a night. So tonight there will be a slightly earlier night than previous nights this week (glancing at my clock informs me that "early" ended about two hours ago).

After that, there will be progress. Things will percolate, and there will be good results. This weekend especially, I am counting on Good Things to happen all around. I said so, therefore it's true. I dare reality to tell me otherwise.

More spam —the dangers of writing LJ posts at work

I like this new idea of composing my LJ posts at work and then sending them to myself. Mind you, I may not be able to do this in two weeks' time, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. In the meantime, all you lucky folk in LJ land get Phnee!Spam. Don't you feel special now?

Anyhow, this post is nothing terribly special. I'm simply trying to put down some of my priorities for the near future, because, well, I'm tired of my life always being in the toilet due to one thing or another. So this is just some noodling on my part in order to get my life straightened out.

This got long, be warned.

( Sealed to protect my faithful readers from complete and abject boredom )

Okay, well, that's it for that. Obviously there are lots of activities and things that are going to get affected by any and all decisions I make regarding work and finances and whatever, but I'll cross those bridges when I get to them.

At this point, something's gotta give, and since it can't be me, well, then I have to make sure something else gives.

Current Mood: curious and self-indulgent

Woo! I am Posty McPostalot!

Indulge me a minute while I procrastinate, and answer a question or three for me, dear flist.

1- How long have we known each other? (Roughly. No need for exact dates unless you're the compulsive type, in which case feel free to research.)

2- How did we meet? Online or off?

3- Do you consider me more of an online friend or an IRL friend?

4- Do you think I've changed much since we first met? How?

Go forth and comment! :)
