So, thanks to my shorter hair, I'm learning all about 'bed-head'.

For instance, today is the second time I've woken up, gone to brush my teeth before I get into the shower, and found out that my hair is all sticking straight up.

Not 'puffed' up, not messed around, not tangled at all. Just straight up. Exclamation points could learn from my hair.

This is, frankly, really odd.

69.04761904761905% of me is a huge nerd! How about you?

Mmmmm. Hee.

Had a very interesting office visit. Went to help a member of the art faculty transfer files from one temporary computer to another (He was originally going to be a semester leave replacement, but is now replacing someone else while they take a semester off, so he just hopped offices and computers.

I was bemused that he spent 3/4 of the time yelling at his old cable company because they're trying to make him pay for after he canceled his service, but I was really impressed by the thermos of rather /strong/ smelling Irish Coffee that he cracked open and started drinking from.

Okay the following is from TV Guides Flickchick column, which is normally right on the mark.

...And though you didn't ask, director Don Coscarelli and cult-movie actor Bruce Campbell have said that the sequel promised at the end of offbeat mummy movie Bubba Ho-Tep (2003), Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, isn't just a joke. Coscarelli hopes to make a series of films in which Elvis Presley (Campbell) squares off against an assortment of supernatural beings at various stages in his career. Bubba Nosferatu (and, presumably, any other films Coscarelli has in mind) would be a prequel to Bubba Ho-Tep, which finds an aging Elvis in an East Texas nursing home that's being terrorized — although terrorized may not be precisely the word — by a mummy...

Mwahahaha.

[Geek] WTF?

It's just a day for all sorts of wierd news.

Taking a break from the internet and stuff tonight.

Nothing's wrong, just want to relax and have a quiet night.

See you all later!

(Oh: Before I forget. Aaron, any luck?)

Warcraft 2: Battle.net edition is a hell of a lot of fun, even if it does occasionally remind you that it's a game that came out while I was in late middle school, early High School. (The AI is particularly bad about this. I can see why Blizzard jacked up the unit and aggressor AIs for Starcraft! It wasn't just so they could show off what they learned, it's so they could make it that much more 'timeless' by giving it a decent chance at kicking your ass any day of the week!)

Still, I'm into the second chapter of the Orc campaign, and it's a fun little nostalgia trip. Also did some writing for a friend, and polished up my shoes again.

Having shoes with really /nice/ leather that I wear on a daily basis has really made me mindful of shoe maintinence, the dress shoes I wear most often are showing some nice signs of care from this, too. I tend to be very good about polish and buffing now, much more than I ever was before.

Yes, kids, I like to buff. I'm a buffer. And I buff at least once every week.

The only real problem, then, is that I'm still having some insomnia issues. At first, I thought being sick was doing it to my sleep pattern, but now I'm not so sure, since I pretty much feel healthy again but I'm having the same problem.

I go to bed. I toss, turn, and have to fight for probably a half hour to get comfy. Then, after an hour or so, I wake back up, and my usual 'cure' the past few nights has been to get one of the extra blankets I keep by the hideabed sofa for when I have guests staying the night, and curl up for some TV on the couch for a half hour to an hour, and then I usually can get to sleep.

Of course, then it's usually 2:30 or 3am, and I have to be up at 7:45. See the problem? I tried going to bed earlier, it didn't help. So tonight I'm staying up a bit later than I have the past week or so (with a few notable exceptions, ala New Years), and see if that helps.

Didn't get to talk to Lisa today because I got into taking care of other things and missed the chance to call while she'd be availible. I'm not dying or anything, but I do miss her, just as I have most of the week.

Oh, well.

A new day: The Dragon Roars.
