Omigawd, omigawd, omigawd, I am so so so tired and so very, very not done with anything. I need a month-long nap, which I am most definitely not going to get.

Big proposal

Big, huge-assed proposal to present to a potential client on Sunday. I’ve been working on it for weeks. Prolly have 30 hours of research into it at this point. It’ll be worth it if we get the contract, but the process of getting there has been an awful lot like eating a bicycle one bite a time.1

Google Wave

I received an invite a few days ago. I don’t have any to hand out yet, unfortunately, but I’m looking for people to make Waves with so I can figure out what all the fuss is about because, so far, I’m not seeing it. It’s like IM on steroids. Perhaps the magical qualities will reveal themselves when it’s a collaborative Wave between several people.3

Bed

Favorite Guy was thoughtful this morning and stripped the bed. He also flipped the mattress and put pretty much all the bedding in the wash. Some of it made it through. Some is still in there somewhere. I will be cold tonight.5

Company Reorganization

‘kay, well I don’t really want to say much about this yet because everything is still so up in the air, but there is major earth-moving12 going on with the day job scenario. I’m vacillating between dreaming big and absolute terror. More details once I know what’s going for sure.13

The Longest Way15

I actually saw this video two or three weeks ago,16 but keep forgetting to include it.

The Longest Way 1.0 – one year walk/beard grow time lapse from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo.

Final Loop

That’s about it, I think.17 There’s still some interesting stuff going on in the direction of Hollywood, but not sufficiently definite for me to feel comfortable saying more than it’s on my mind when I first wake up in the morning.18 I think I just have time to preview this post to make sure the footnote numbers all match up.20

Footnotes

  1. Michel Lotito

  2. By way of Angry White Guy in Chicago

  3. If you wanna play with me, add senvara@googlewave.com. 4 Thanks muchly.

  4. This will probably result in me being one of the first recipients of Wave spam.

  5. We have what Favorite Guy6 recently described as “a Dagwood sandwich of blankets” on the bed. Without them I will be cold. Also uncomfortable.7

  6. Favorite Guy will be staying up “late”8 tonight working on the monster proposal. It’s not exactly cozy in the bed when he’s not in it in the Autumn/Winter.

  7. It’s a sensory/pressure9 thing. I sleep better if I feel like I have weight pressing on me.

  8. Usually he promises it won’t be very late and then he comes to bed about a half hour before I get up.

  9. I seem to have a minor obsession with slashes going tonight. //* Perhaps it’s related to the vampire novel10 I finished reading last night.

  10. Sunshine11 by Robin McKinley

  11. It’s pretty much another variation of Beauty and the Beast, which seems to be Robin McKinley’s fairy tale. I can relate. It’s definitely mine.

  12. In a metaphorical sense.

  13. Extreme movement in this area is related to some of the excessive drama from last week, especially the part with the velociraptor,14 um, I mean the Wicked Witch of the West.

  14. Velociraptor means “swift seizer.” ’nuff said.

  15. Read about The Longest Way walk across China. It’s really interesting.

  16. By way of Jason Kottke via MadeofMeat.

  17. I don’t know for sure ’cause I’m too tired to remember what I’ve already written so far.

  18. And usually when I fall asleep at night.19

  19. Also several other times throughout the day. It’s a little distracting, but worth it.

  20. They often don’t on the first go round. I’m simply terrible with that sort of thing. Can’t write and count at the same time.21

  21. I can do a lot of cool things, most of which I can’t think of at the moment because I really am so completely damn tired.22

  22. Fucking hormones.23

  23. All too soon I’ll prolly be saying “Fucking menopause.” Should be grateful for what I’ve got.24

  24. I was right, by the way. I had to redo the footnote numbers three times.25 Once because I’d left out a footnote and the next two times just because I’d fucked up the numbering.

  25. Make that four times. I think it’s right now.
