Oh thank you Matag God of laundry for blessing me with your bounty. I shall proudly display the sock you have blessed me with for all to see your greatness. But not online... you're not that great, and I'm not sure I want to go through the hassel. Well I got a new computer, I've hit a brick wall at 4000 words with my dissertation and haven't been able to write anything in just about a week, and I think I'm slowly(or not slowly) losing(or have lost) my mind.
The computer is lovely, I'm only having slight issues entering the Mac world. That's right people, I've thown off the oppressive yoak and utilitarian design of the PC for the relatively comfortable, incredibly engineered, yoak of the apple world. It's a very pretty MacBook, 13.3" monitor, white, 1.86 ghz intel duo processor(runs like a dream), 1gb ram, and good times. The only issue I've been having, apart from learning the new system, is the renewing of all my presets. It's like losing that couch that you've worked in that [insert name here] shaped groove and left a new couch to start over with. But that's alright, it's kinda what I was looking for, unfortunately because it's a different system it's taking a little longer to work that groove in. It'll come in good time.
My stagnant dissertation... What to say of it? I think the only appropriate words wouldn't actually involve words at all. At most it the only audible "words" would sounds more like grunts and sobs as I flail my various appendages about blindly, nearly soiling myself. Closely related I believe is my appearent loss of sanity. I can't think anymore, I'm desprately missing moments that don't involve school hanging over my head. I miss my summer work. I think I need to get drunk[the cause and solution]. Now just where will I find someone to drink with me? I think I'm stressed out. I've also noticed that I haven't been eating much lately. More that I haven't even been getting hungry. Lately the only sign that I should eat comes in the form of a headache. Maybe I should go somewhere for a day or two, but at the same time all I want to do is sleep(probably has something to do with the lack of food). ugh. I have a meeting with my supervisor wednesday, should be interesting seeing I've lost sight of what I was doing. Tuesday I go to the Opera, they're doing Turandot at the Royal Opera House. I'm rather excited, it happens to be my favourite Opera. I got a descent seat I think. Anyways, I think I'll see about some food or something, some sort of distraction from the nothing that seems to be hovering over my dissertation.
Much Love
Brett
P.S. the children in the park seem to be overly obnoxious today.
