Last night after getting thoroughly bored with my usual activities online I took about an hour off and decided to noodle around with a notebook and a pen for an hour and a half. Some surprising things came out of that, including a project idea from years ago rearing its head and going OH HAI REMEMBER ME? It's actually a good time for it to resurface actually, as I think with HTML 5 stuff, it's actually doable now as opposed to when I first tried it back in 2003ish. So I'm kind of excited about that, and thinking I may dedicate the brain space and the energy I usually reserve for trying and spectacularly failing at NaNoWriMo to building it.
Yeah, I'm being cryptic, but I don't really want to give away too much and/or jinx the chances of this actually happening.
Two more things have come of this exercise, mainly a determination to finish any and all back projects by the end of October so I actually have the brain to devote to this come November. And I have a lot of those I've been neglecting, both at work and at home. So the next three weeks is going to be very busily clearing my plate and drinking a ton of coffee in order to have the drive/determination to get all of it done. The other thing is to spend a little time every night unplugged from the internet and doing offline shit. (Watching Netflix sadly does not count, though I'm still being eaten alive by my Watch Instantly queue.) My brain does interesting things when away from a screen, who would have thought it.
In health related crap news, I don't know what happened, lack of constant omnipresent stress, taking better care of myself, getting better with my pill schedule or what have you (I refuse to believe the Humira kicked in THAT quickly) my intestines have been behaving MUCH better lately. While this is good, it also means I have to consciously keep a weather eye on what I'm eating again, as I do not want to regain the forty pounds worth of "Eating hurts, lets not do it." (On the other hand if I just go up ten or so pounds I won't have to go pants shopping for a while... hmm...) Honestly what I'd REALLY like to do is pounce another_murray or
somanygoldfish and get back into going to Planet Fitness on a reasonably regular basis especially since I'm still paying for the damn membership. I might as well be using it. But yeah, it's kind of the trend with me, the smaller I am, the worse shape I'm in, so I'd like to actually spend a little time fixing that. Also getting outside and walking before it gets too damn cold to do so. I got out there with
deliriumdeva last night and it was good, even if we got rained on at the end.
Rather grumpy today that I only have two eps of
Arrested Development left and I won't be able to catch tonight's episode of
Sons of Anarchy until tomorrow morning (ye gods, how I hate watching series week to week!) I have the rest of
Black Adder, all of
Buffy/Angel,
A Bit of Fry and Laurie,
Law and Order: SVU and
30 Rock queued up and I suppose I could watch one of those instead while I attempt to make a dent in my to-do list today, but mreh, I'm kind of anti starting up new/super long things. I suppose I could put on Buffy or SVU, considering I've seen most of those already and all I really require is background noise, cause a day later and it's still too quiet around here without the short stacks. Coming down from four straight days of having them around suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Oh well, to-do list isn't going to make and do itself.
