3 a.m.

It’s been very cold in my room today. I thought it was supposed to be spring soon, but today I almost up and turned on my radiators. Which is never a good thing because they make a sound not unlike a space shuttle launch and smell like a burning sweater. I generally try to avoid using them and instead cover myself with four or five layers of clothing and blankets, making extra care to ensure that my door is locked so that nobody pounces in and catches me looking like a human burrito.

I was commited to staying home today, because I did some rough calculations and realized that I had done maybe two hours of real work over the past week, and I really want to try to avoid falling into a pit of procrastination and exam-time stress and enormous rocks and painful cacti again. So I set out to work. I was almost successful, aside from the two hour breaks I took to watch Love, Actually and Back to the Future and also the break I took when I went to buy chips and pop. And also the break I took when I watched two episodes of The Gilmore Girls. So, really, I was not very successful at all, but I did get SOME stuff done, and that’s pretty good.

I have very little to say right now. Once I get caught up (possibly tomorrow or Tuesday), I plan to launch an ALL-NEW MESSAGE FORUM on this site. I really wish I didn’t have to, but apparently the old message board software I was using costs like $70 to register to get new updates, and I don’t have that kind of cash. The new message forum will tie in with a new subsection of this website I’ve been wanting to launch, and also will feature the long-promised and long-delayed Chain Story. Are you excited? Because I am excited!

Songs:

• Eels - Dead of Winter
• Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
• Roxy Music - More Than This
