    Christmas aftermath.
    I do not think I can be here my entire shift today. I feel lazy for saying it, but it's not laziness. It's pure and utter exhaustion. Sleep has been sporadic if present at all, and the one night I got more than three hours of sleep, it was a horrid one. Fall asleep, then wake up feeling like you haven't slept at all. It's just not kosher. And it's not like I could nap when I got home, if I indeed did leave work as early as humanly possible. There's too much to do.

    List time!

    Today:
    --call Chi Tung; think Driver's License was left there on Sunday.
    --make grocery list.
    --clean kitchen.
    --go to Best Buy.
    --go to Jewel.
    --go to Chi Tung if ID is indeed there.
    --do at least one load of laundry.

    Tomorrow:
    --work 9-3 or 9-4, depending on leaving time today.
    --clean living room.
    --reorganise furniture in living room for Strange Days.
    --do at least one load of laundry.

    Wednesday:
    --work 9-3 or 9-4.
    --clean nerd room.
    --clean bedroom.
    --clean guest room.
    --test either A) connectability of wifi from bedroom or B) length of ethernet cable from bedroom to nerd room.
    --do at least two loads of laundry.

    Thursday:
    --work 9-3.
    --Sherlock Holmes at 7:15.
    --Strange Days!


    Reason of there being a connectivity test is that I might be getting a new computer. My current machine does not have wireless. It also needs a new graphics card or something. I cannot go to Dalaran in World of Warcraft without my computer hating me. Lowell and I have also been discussing the feasibility of moving my computer and being connected to the internet from our bedroom for the New Year's festivities. It's not that I don't like the guys. I do like the guys. I like them a lot. I also like my privacy. If I am able to sit in my room and occasionally be visited by the guys, it's great. If I am stuck in the middle of everything all the time, it is not.

    I was also very insistent upon having the internet should I get that privacy. The past few years, I have been net-less at Strange Days, and I am not a fan. This year, it will not be an issue, if I get my way. So Lowell actually suggested we go look at computers to see if there is anything affordable with wireless to get me. We'll see what comes of it.

    Hour and a half down. Still catching up from the weekend. Not surprised by this. Maybe a long lunch in place of leaving early might be a better idea...hmm.

    Holiday weekend.
    This is going to be a busy but good one:

    Today: work, family phone calls, "midnight" (read: 11:00 PM) Mass.
    Tomorrow: 10:00 AM Mass, presents, more phone calls, dinner at Lowell's parents' house.
    Boxing Day: presents at Nana's (don't know what time for food/etc.), drinks with Aldwin
    Sunday: 9:00 AM Mass, 11:00 AM Mass for Lowell, Pat and Colleen's wedding!

    Then there's a week of quiet work, then ST Days, then No Organist Week, which has my birthday smack in the middle of it.

    Good deal, folks.

    Have a very Merry Christmas!

    Dancing Kyuu
    This is something that I don't get to do very often. In fact, it's quite rare. Though, I'd only do it around friends, or maybe even total strangers. I'd definitely not around extended family though. I would go out on my own to do this; but I'm quite scared to do so.

    Coupled with DDR, Marching Band (steps), Para Para, and exposure to dance music via my sisters' collection, I can feel out a song. Then I move accordingly based on patterns that I am familiar with. Then, I mix it all up based on how I feel at a given moment. Then add on the stamina of a long distance runner. Then, I can really go nuts (all-out).

    Happily, I can cite this as one personal means of expression. One of the most fun ones too.

    Neglected LiveJournal
    Hmm. I do have to apologize for neglecting my LiveJournal. Though, I still kept it such that there's a minimum of one entry per month. Yet, my journaling kept going for the most part on paper. Though, it was more difficult to keep up with that. I have no audience. Surely, I could have logged those entries here in private, but nah. A limit was necessary for my own collection; and it was good. As a result, I find myself to be collected for the most part.

    Nevertheless, as a project, I am still incomplete; and I forsee this state of incompletion all the way to the end of my days. But, that is fine. It is a Christian priciple to be this way; and from this vantage point, the road will be a long and arduous one. Plus, it'll definitely be interesting.

    With the turn of the year, into 2010, I can still look forward to many things. One project after another; all to build a Kyuu, that either I can be proud of or left in a withered state. Naturally, I'll prefer the former. Yet, even if I were to be left with the latter, then only one thing will be left: that is God's Word. To be honest, that is quite a daring statement; and it is one to be feared. Knowing who I am, I could very well slip up. But ultimately, under his watchful eye, things will be OK.

    In any case, I seem to find myself typing up some entries without the aid of pen and paper. So, here I am again looking to document various concocted views that come out of my noggin'. Though, here I hope for one thing: words more from the heart, rather than the mind. After all, God brought me out of a blackheart. Now, it is in color. So, let's see what this Kyuu can do.

    Brrr.
    My nose, fingers, and toes are still cold. I don't understand. I've been in the somewhat warm office for more than an hour now. I hate that. It makes it very hard to concentrate, because I'm continually stopping what I'm doing to wiggle or rub my nose and fingers. Blargh.

    I bought a cape for the winter season, and I've worn it but once. Every day I look outside, think, "Meh, I don't need more than my sweater", and book it for work. Every day, I am horribly, horribly wrong. Thankfully, my timing has been spot on in terms of hopping from train to train without much overlap in the outside world. I'm trying to time my leaving work to coincide as to when the bus arrives up at Dempster. This is probably an exercise in futility, as Pace is obnoxious. I'm still going to give it a go.

    There is a reconciliation service at Lowell's church this evening. Supposedly there is regular choir rehearsal immediately following. However, I don't know what time that is, nor do I know whether or not we are to sing at said service. I will have to mail the director today before I go to lunch. There is an extra rehearsal on Saturday that I am attending, so I might just skive off tonight and stay home to get some laundry done. I'm almost out of soap and dryer sheets, though, so I don't know.

    My stomach has been making *really* odd noises the past few days. I'm fairly certain they're just hunger noises, but still. It's also reacting negatively to espresso late in the day. This is not good for me.

    I've been chatting with Maryam all day, and we've tentatively plotted out a trip to London next year for my 28th birthday. So long as I don't get pregnant, it might be doable. I realised that, should I still have this job next year, visiting Miss Griz before Christmas holidays is not doable, due to the demands of this silly office during Advent. But post-Christmas, as in early January...might work. Just might work. It's a year off, so one can wait to see what happens.

    Must get cracking on January events, and finalise a date for the next gaming day. Also must run fingers and nose under hot water or something. This is ridiculous now.
