Pic of the day: "Worry about me!" The lovesick high school student removes random pieces of clothing hoping to make the main character worry about her. It might have helped to not be so happy about it.. (Screenshot from the anime Mamotte Shugogetten, a romantic comedy about teens.)

Short excuse

it is Saturday evening as I am dictating this. I don't think I have been so far behind on my journal since this past spring, when I was beta testing City of Heroes. This time I'm not testing a game, although it was a near miss: I could have been playing the European beta of the latest hits in role playing games, World of Warcraft, but I was a bit too late. This is almost certainly a good thing, as I don't even have enough time without yet another distraction.

So what is my excuse this time? Well, I have been playing Civilization 3, as you can see from yesterday's entry. But basically my week has passed in a kind of mental fog, thanks to my experiments with randomizing my sleep pattern. It kinda worked, for several of the days I was no more sleepy at work than at home. This would have been a pleasant change, if I hadn't been sleepy all the time... with the notable exception of the hours from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

I had, and still have, several ideas I would like to write about. But I couldn't possibly do them justice. Well, perhaps I never can. But I really hope I have some time ahead of me which is less hazy than this week.
