tj_dragonblade | (siiiiiiigh) Back to Reality

Well, with Inyx gone, everyday life resumes around me. And just when I was growing accustomed to answering to 'Fei' at random unexpected intervals, too; just when I was getting comfortable slipping in and out of character on a moment's notice, just when I was getting quicker with the snarky quips. (sigh) Ah well. It was a riot while it lasted, eh Inyx-sama?

Yes, I said 'eh' again. Stop laughing. I know you are.

Uh huh.

Ooh, guess what. On my way back to work after lunch yesterday, I drove the whole way behind a car with a most interesting license plate.

(composes a perfectly straight face) It said 'BUNNY'.

I'm going to have to figure out how to take screen-caps and make myself a Boma icon, that I am.

Anyway. Trying to shift abruptly back into work is...quite distasteful, really. And it's rather unsettling to return and find that I was given a new monitor while away. Not that I don't like it, mind you; it's a flatscreen and better suited to working with large spreadsheets and a vast improvement despite the adjustment period I'm going through now. But...to come back to work and find that my station's been altered, and to know that someone was poking about in *my* space without my knowledge...it's vaguely irksome. Particularly when there was no mention of it before I left. Not a big deal in the long run, really; just...eh. (shrugs) Never mind.

List of Things to Accomplish in the Near Future:

- Send Inyx-sama that fic we were writing & 'Wild Rock' & 'Shiro no Jumon'
- Burn a CD of these songs I've collected so I can pump them through my car's sound system and take them wherever I go
- Hit the friends list again and attempt to catch up
- Watch the rest of Reload
- Watch the Weiss Kreuz OAV Inyx-sama burned for me
- Finish up the polishing job I was doing with that TenKen-Goujun fic
- Read Gaiden trans. again for reference; polish and post 'Better Than Sake'
- Draw those pics I mentioned to Inyx
- Pull Carpe Diem out of mothballs and attempt to at least make some progress on it
- Finish 'Daiji Na Mono' by Brad's November deadline
- Write all these other fics clamoring to get out of my head
- Get my crap up on ff.net and elsewhere
- Read fics recced and manga downloaded

And, on the other side of life:
- Help Jeff study the CDL manual
- Keep plugging away at AJ's potty training
- Try to figure out the damned Christmas shopping
- Pack up my cubicle for *another* move

(sigh) If I only had more time for the first half of the list...
