Below, in the scrolled boxes, are my personal Blog Entries. Expect brilliant insight into the way my mind works. Or notes on how my day progressed. Hell, maybe even dinner details or something I can write whatever I want in there.
Enjoy, I suppose.

Today, I didn't do much other than create this page. I woke up with the overwhelming urge to code, the same urge that possessed me when I started making this website yesterday. Unfortunately, it took me a very long time to find breakfast, and then I couldn't get started until noon. Exhausting and irritating, considering the sun soon shone across my desk and blocked out everything. This is why my old labs never had natural light: everything must be controlled for, every variable must be managed. Not too heavily, but they must be anyway. I don't believe I've had lunch, but I don't feel the urge, I don't feel particularly hungry. But then, that might be the fixation. Regardless, if more thoughts come to me, I'll add them to this box until tomorrow. Tomorrow I will make a new one.

This day has not been particularly eventful, either. Stone and I arrived slightly late to our prior engagement, but the one in charge didn't mind (especially as it was only two minutes. Still unacceptable in my mind, but certainly better than the alternative.) I could expound on other things, like the disappointing shrimp tempura roll or the swift and efficient meeting, or even the frustration at work assigned without contact with the assigning individual whatsoever. I could do that, but that's not particularly on my mind right now. I've been thinking about my earlier years, what little I can remember from them. Hiding soldering irons in gaps behind radiators that were too old even then, working on pet projects in private while my bunkmates and roommates focused on other things. It isn't dissimilar from the life I have now, but back then is certainly painted in a worse light in hindsight considering all I know now about my family and all. But, Stone and I only have one more meeting today, and we have a planned outing if you'd believe it, so not all is doom and gloom. I still miss my soldering iron, though. I've been summarily banned from tinkering with microprocessors or anything of the sort until Stone and I find a more suitable place to live. A shame, really. But, this website will suffice in the meantime. It's only been three days of having it, and I already feel my synapses igniting anew. Figuring out this box was a challenge, yes, but it was exciting! It's been too long since I've had such excitement, the feeling of a challenge thoroughly trounced by my intellect. And I'm glad to say that Stone was informed of how italics function here. Good news and a good day all around.

We've been absent from this website for a few days, Stone and I. We've been busy, working hard, on projects and other such things, and it's left us both a bit exhausted. I'm not as hardy as I once was, as much as I am loathe to admit it, so we needed the break. But, I am back. Today was relatively uneventful, but I woke up in pain so I had to decline my first meeting of the day. Something I do not do lightly, of course, but Stone encouraged me to do so and so I did. Thus, we had a very calm morning, and our afternoon engagement went smoothly. We were delayed in our return to home, but that was just fine. We've worked hard all day, and now we will be resting soon. I'm enjoying myself quite substantially.

Yet another lengthy absence explained by pain and exhaustion. I don't enjoy it, but it's the fact of the matter. I successfully added a guest book last night though, so that's certainly something! I've been thinking lately, about the value of time. And about how if you give me a task that will waste my time, I am going to loathe you for the rest of my days. That has been Stone and I's weekend so far- desperately trying to complete busywork without driving ourselves insane. It's exhausting. I miss a truly exciting challenge, like creating a Badnik on a tight budget in three days before having to fly out to somewhere remote to present it. But, that's alright. This too shall pass and all that, I just hope it passes quickly. Get to the good part! (There has been some truly engaging work in the meantime of course, not all of it has been miserable, in fact not even most of it. It's just... this portion. Blegh.)
