Pic of the day: No pics from work, so picture from inspirational anime Psychic Academy Aura Banshou.

Another workday filler

Not much to say about this Monday. I was at work till almost 10 in the evening. Meh. Work makes me tense up, so my arm hurt even though I did not write more than a paragraph or two of novel. Down with work! Free money to all! And everyone should earn more than average too, I guess, since we've first got started on this.

Anyway, work is what I don't write about anymore (and it was little enough before) but it is a safe bet if I am the computer guy of the place, something computerish has been involved. Rejoice, and in rejoicing stay. At least I have fewer minus-hours on my time balance now.

As for the pathetic Sunday entry, I blame lack of sleep, a possible upcoming influenza, and too much romance novel writing. Speaking of which, none of the events portrayed in the book refer to the person mentioned in said journal. In so far as I have snatched events from real life, and they are few indeed, they are usually heavily modified variations of my own experiences, either in waking life or in dreams. I don't write novels about all the girls I've loved before. (From a safe distance, mostly...)

Yes, I actually am this pathetic, to obsess over a girl I don't even sleep with. No wonder Evolution hates my guts and has sentenced my genome to extinction. But I may yet have the last laugh. Barring some unforeseen accident, I could still live to see Evolution dead. And when you design your own babies, they are bound to be a lot like me: Smart, calm, self-sufficient and not particularly promiscuous. After all, it seems parents of each generation want their kids to sleep around less than they did at that age ...

In that perspective, I guess I am very nearly the ultimate wish fulfillment. ^_^
