A Bug’s Life: A sad and tragic existence

    While I lazily passed along the morning/early afternoon, I didn’t make many attempts to be productive. Eventually I was seized with the absolute necessity of doing the dishes soaking in the sink. So, in order to pacify my guilty conscious after a weekend of lethargy, I got dressed, brushed my hair and teeth, deodorized accordingly and began the arduous task of dish doing. Once that was done, I headed back into my computer room to check feeds and what not. As I passed my bathroom door I noticed an unpleasant sight. A black juicy beetle-ish sort of bug. I continued walking as though I hadn’t seen it. It’s the feel of squishing a bug that sends shivers down my spine; as well as their unpredictability when it comes to flying and landing in unknown places.

    So I willingly forgot that I had ever seen such a bug. I went on with my day, eating lunch, go grocery shopping. Once I got home from the grocery store I unloaded my car and loaded up the fridge with fresh-bought goodies. I was planning out my dinner, but decided I needed to take a pee before beginning any cooking adventures. So I stride with confidence into the bathroom, flip the light switch, and out of habit, looked into the toilet bowl (I have this habit thanks to catching a spider setting up a web across the toilet once…I am forever paranoid now. I don’t like bugs.). There, floating in the clear water, was a sad little black bug. I wonder what suicidal thoughts drove the poor thing to drown itself in toilet water. I can’t imagine. I quickly flushed away the bug (because you never know if it will come back to life) and promptly came to my computer (skipping over my own need for the toilet at the moment), to let you all know of a lonely life lost in my apartment today. I would’ve let the little guy live, as long as he didn’t invade my personal space. He could’ve made his way back out to the great outdoors, my back door was wide open most of the day. But sadly no. He found the only room in the apartment without a window. A moment of silence please………

    This entire episode struck me as odd for some reason. I’m by no means a fan of bugs. But I dunno, it was an odd mixture of hilarity, pity, and tragedy.

 

Journal Re-entry Complete

    In case you didn’t notice, my Journal Pages are officially removed. No worries, all the journal entries are now resting relatively around the dates that they were initially posted as pages, but as posts now. Ummm…there’s not really much else beyond that. So, I’m off to bed!

 

Journal Re-entry Program

    Since I have completed my classes for the Spring semester, I no longer need the journal entries on the right hand column, each entry it’s own page. But I’m not sure how I want to incorporate them into the regular blogging layout. Since they all have their own pages, converting them into posts means I will have a huge update of posts that are all old journal entries. Or I could just copy and paste them all into one LARGE post and just get it out of the way… I can’t seem to decide. I think I would rather just do one large post, but is that fair to those entries? They do mean something to me. I’m torn. Any ideas?

 

Crunch Time

    It has come to that time in the semester, when there are only a couple of weeks left. Yup, that’s right, just a couple of weeks and my motivation is lagging and everything else in life just keeps seeping in when I’m not ready to deal with it all. My poor brain is ready to implode, tumbling out of my nostrils in an ashy heap to the floor. And why is it that all of a sudden, the last week of school is no longer meant for finals, but the week before is. What happened to Reading Week, our week of study to prepare for finals? Where has that luxury time gone? Too busy chasing tails are we?

    I’m so exhausted. I could barely convince myself to get up today, even with the threat of missing an exam if I didn’t wake up. My limbs were heavy and lifeless. My neck could hardly support my head and my eyelid muscles were worthless. I’m doing a touch better this evening, though still ridiculously tired for no real reason. No physical reason anyhow.

    At this point I’m just trying to end the semester on as good of terms possible. I feel like I put all my energy in early on in the semester and now I’m starting to drag, having a hard time keeping up. Oh well I guess. Such is school life. I’ll let you know how it turns out in a couple of weeks.

 

It’s my party…

    My mama is coming into town tomorrow. She’s coming to spend the weekend with me to celebrate my 24th birthday. OMG I’m almost half a century old, but I don’t mind. I feel like part of me stopped revolving around the sun at 16. So it’s just a number to me. Although I’m sure my mom will not fail to remind me that we are both getting older and if I’m ever going to get married and have kids, I should really start working on it. I’m not gonna go there.

    Naturally this means that I won’t be around much while she’s in town. Between work, school, homework, and hanging out with my mom, I probably won’t have much time to blog. I really am sorry. Especially since I’ve been so neglectful lately. Honest, if I had the time I would have posted tons more reviews. Sadly though, I haven’t been able to muster the mental energy. Even with books that I’ve read this semester I haven’t found the time to get the reviews out. Shameful, I know. I promise though, this summer I will have a bit more time. It’ll be minus school. So I’ll just have to crack down and double up on review posting along with all the other kinds of nonsensical posts I do.
