prying eyelids open with toothpicks

whitereflection5:30 is so godawful-unholy after a long weekend. Was almost impossible to get up today. Very nearly skipped my walk so I could sleep in, but I hadn't gone out Sunday or Monday am, so... Am just dead-wasted tired, though--too many nights of little sleep again, especially the last couple nights of only 3-3 1/2 hours. Bad me. *too wiped out to flail* It's terribly tempting to just plead illness and go home from work after class. Bad, bad, bad me.
Feeling the nudge to keep working on that "Yoru" fic I started on the other day. Not going to get time today, though. Work, then the church newsletter. Least we're not going to be doing the newsletter again for a while--it's going on hiaitus unless they can find someone else to do it. Anj and I just can't devote the time, what with needing study time for Japanese for the next year or two.
But have had many thoughts about Yoru, so I hope to do something with it soon. After listening to Pink Floyd's On the Turning Away, and hearing the phrase "On the wings of the night", I now want to title the piece that, but in Japanese. Wonder what it'd be? Along the lines of 'something yoru no tsubasa' perhaps? I think it's going to need a total of four vignettes/scenes (I suppose more if I happen to think of any)--each section would have a theme. The first would obviously be music, and I think the other parts would then have painting, writing (not sure, like maybe poetry or something?), and sculpture themes. Still all up in the air yet, natch.
I suddenly have a 'plan' of sorts, something I'd very much like to do--discovered this morning that the University of Washington in Seattle has a Japanese Studies program, with not only a BA available but an MA *and* PhD. Holy cats. I think...I think I need to get involved in that. God if I know how, or how I'd come up with the money, not to mention how I'd get someone to want to move, and what I'd do about working and whatnot...but I think I need to get involved with that program. I could see taking first and second year Japanese here at UNO, since I'd get those done for basically free. Then maybe I'd be able to move, and go up there to attend--or go up there then to get residency, then start the program.
Hmf...kind of a pipe dream. Lord knows if I'd even be able to get into the school, or if I could find a way of paying for it. Not to mention that whole 'moving' bit. That might be the toughest obstacle. But will have to see if I can do something with this, who knows...
Ehh...is busy today, out here at the 1st Floor/Docs Desk. Yay for the start of the semester. Ahwell, can't type for crap anyway.
Oh, and yesterday was very, very cool. Best Labor Day I had in a while. I was 1337 in the making food from scratch department. *nods* Sometimes I surprise myself. Ohyes, and we got to watch the fansub of "The Cat Returns" that Anj bought at AI--it's terribly cute and amusing and whimsical. :)
*hugs* for everyone, 'cause I'm in a 'missing you' mood. Wish I could AIM from work...
