[EDIT] Tuesday, September 16, 2008 @ 7:29 pm Alright. So yesterday I was feeling a bit crap about everything, and in general I was completely knackered--of coursework, of housework...even of my previous layout. Of course, the layout was the only one I could bring myself to change, which is to say that last night, I did absolutely nothing save watch some Sarah Connor Chronicles and work on the layout (which I must say turned out alright). Why the foul mood? Well, the presentations certainly didn't help, and neither did the work leading up to my (lack of) presentation. This week happens to be the first in a number of weeks this semester where everything is due or everything has an exam. I haven't felt the pressure to perform this well in a long time so I guess my brain just pissed off for a while and couldn't process anything. I've got an older desktop computer--about 4 years now--which works pretty well for the most part because I upgrade things on a regular basis and keep my computer protected from viruses or malware pretty well. But every once in a while, especially when I'm multitasking, it slows down to a point where even if I close down a bunch of applications, everything still runs slowly. Normally I don't shut down my computer--I just put it to sleep--but in instances like this, I opt to reboot and start afresh. When the OS starts up again, everything is just fine and I can continue with whatever it was I was doing. I guess every once in a while we need to reboot as well, to clear the caches of the crap that sticks around after a long and unfortunate series of bad days and to prepare for the coming ones. Last night, around 1:30 am, I passed out when I hit the bed. True, I was a physically tired (which certainly wasn't helped by staying up "late"), but it was more of a mental thing. Despite wanting to sleep longer, my internal clock woke me up at the time that I usually wake up. Instead of getting all aggro about not sleeping for as long as I had liked, I opened my eyes and realized that I was ready to take on whatever this week has in store for me. Non sequitur--a clip from series 2, episode 1 of Skins: EDIT: Another non sequitur--a compilation of clips of Jane from Coupling. (1:12 onwards is one of my favorite Jane sequences of ALL TIME!) 2 Comments. I loooove it when they say "knackered". I also love it when they say, "off his nut" or "he's such a nutter" and also when they call someone a "fitty". » Zanzibar on 2008-09-16 03:16:22 D: "Only"? » randomjunk on 2008-09-16 07:44:16
