Yeah, he does have trumpet lips...

I am reminded about myself:
a. I can not have caffeine. Like ever. The catatrophic effects on my complexion and mood are not worth it.
b. I really should cut down on the sugar again, esp. corn syrup/processed sugars sort of things. I can't cut out carbohydrates, but reducing the junk would help me much.
c. I can not multitask to save my life or my soul. I just *can't*. Sadly, I seem to be only a linear, single-focused individual, no matter how much I try to alter that.
d. I often don't get tired gradually--I hit a wall, crash and burn. Am useless after that point.
e. I prefer the *flavor* of things with artificial sweeteners as opposed to sugars. Sad that I now refuse to have anything with said artificial sweeteners, due to a distrust of the chemicals involved and their deletrious effects on a body.
f. I often overuse odd vocabulary. (See: deletrious. Eh.)
g. I write wretchedly, horridly, if I haven't researched and don't know what I'm doing. I can't bluff to save my life/soul.
h. I often don't make enough time for said research. I don't make enough time for a lot of things. See: my to do list vs. what I am doing now.
i. I severely need to get my act together in the RP.


Anyway. Enough ramble.

Let myself sleep in this am--tho, yeah, it was only until 8. Damned body being so hardwired for earlier. Then found out that James is getting a ride to this Sioux City con/Amptguard thing, so I have the car after all. I still couldn't have made it out of town though--I can't do too long of drives, and it's been making odd noises lately (*worries* something big is going to hit, I can just feel it), and I've got obligations Monday anyway. Not to mention homework/studying for class I haven't worked on yet. Got some stuff I need to do today in town, though, if I can get motivated--wanna check out the downtown farmer's market, hit the grocery store, do bills, maybe go to Fontenelle Forest or the Zoo. Sometimes things like that are cool when alone.

I should try to watch some PoT this weekend. Need to install MPlayer, too, see if that helps my xvid/avi problems. Maybe I can do that tomorrow. Gotta vaccuum, but dunno when I want to do that--would rather *not* do that, but it's at the point I'm ashamed of how the place looks, so... Then Monday's our study session and a cookout/dinner thing. Typical weekend, I guess, inna way.

Yeah, new icon, and yeah, from the Mariage Eros dj. There will probably be more, eventually. I think all my icons are gonna end up Kaidoh or InuKai one of these days.

(no subject)

...it's glorious outside.

No, I don't mean sunny/warm/whatnot. It's cool, almost cold after the heat wave recently, cloudy, with a bit of wind.

Am going out, to Fontenelle or the zoo or something like that like I was thinking, and maybe I just won't come back inside. (or at least, not until it goes all hot again.)

*collapsesthud* Yoiks...

Fontenelle Forest was glorious. Glorious. Spectacular, awesome. Other than a handful of families and couples I ran into, it was so quiet--just sounds of the wind, birds, insects, water (when I was down near the Missouri River). It was the most amazing 'alone in nature as it was hundreds of years ago' feeling. And there you can see the very first hints of fall, with a light dusting of gold and brown leaves on the ground to crunch on. And at one point, I saw the damned coolest thing--five, *five* wild turkeys ran across the trail ahead of me. They disappeared off in one direction, and as I watched, they doubled back again some distance off. And I was the only one there to see it. : )

So, spent some hours there, then went to the Henry Doorly Zoo. The zoo was a wash. It was way, way too damned-fscking crowded. Total chaos. I went through the Desert Dome and Kingdoms of the Night nocturnal exhibits, then gave up. Man, people can be such blasted morons--doesn't it occur to someone that when you're in the *nocturnal* exhibit and it's so *DARK* you can't *see* that maybe taking tons of ultra-bright flash photographs is a *dumb* idea?? That maybe, just maybe this might bother the *nocturnal* animals? Jesus-christ-onna-pogo-stick. >_<

Did a monster grocery trip for a cookout we're gonna do Monday evening, before Kelly, Anj, and I do our Japanese studying. Gonna do polish sausages, bratwurst, this snazzy vegetable salad I'm concocting on my own, baked beans (ok, canned ^^; ), a deli-style (but homemade) pea salad, and my greatest experiment--I'm going to make a Sacher torte from scratch. *dramatic anime-style pose* Banzai! Ganbatte, me. *more posing, waves crash in the background* Even going to do real whipped cream with it--as in whipping it myself. ^.^ Heh, we'll see how that goes. I don't imagine I'll be around much the whole day Monday, except to check in once inna while. ^^; Mmm, am gonna splurge on some IBC root beer, too--that stuff's teh awesome. Found some caffeine-free/unsweetened raspberry herbal ice tea that I'm gonna brew up, too, just to try. Hmf...forgot lemons to have with that.

Anyhoo. Criminy, why do I always babble about the most mundane things? Yeesh. >_o;; But what a day--my left knee may be screaming, but I feel rather accomplished about it all. w00t, I say.

...I like my new icon too much. *coughs*
