Seriously, this business of changing the time a month early is ridiculous. I’m not a big fan of losing an hour to my day anyway, but having it happen in what I still consider late Winter is even more absurd. Sunlight’s great and all with its life-enabling properties to most biological creatures and I personally enjoy going out when the weather permits. I guess what bothers me most about all this is the reasoning that somehow more energy will be conserved as a result. Maybe in a country where excess isn’t the fashion DST beginning a month early makes perfect sense, but that place en’t here. Having lights on in the middle of the day is pretty typical for my parents; couple that with constant TV and computer use and I’d say that pretty well obliterates any thought of expending less energy on a day-to-day basis. And driving around in the car isn’t made any less popular by extended hours of daylight. But whatever, I’ve used up my extra hour of sun and now it’s time to turn on all the lights in the house.

Into the future…?!
Apparently I’ve discovered how to transmit information into the future. Awesome.
My cleverest title yet
Today I would like to say I have some personal anecdote to share, but that would be a lie. I gauge the productivity of my day by whether I’ve taken a shower or not which doesn’t provide much anecdotal material. The plus to living this kind of lifestyle is that when I actually do things it’s twice as exciting than if I do stuff all the time.
For instance, I’ve had the same shag carpet in my bedroom for several years and not once had cleaned it until about a week ago. Completely disgusting, oh yes, but never had vacuuming filled me with such excitement.
Unfortunately the vacuum really only works on a superficial level, and as I see it the only way to get all that mucky muck out is to steam clean it. Basically this means that my life is about to get four or five times more exciting.
recent reflections
I’ve seen several new movies recently. Probably the best has been Atonement. Apparently some critics have called it the most romantic movie since Titanic, which I’ll agree was quite sexy, but I think the association does the new film an injustice because it’s so much better. The soundtrack is also spectacular, incorporating the tapping of a typewriter into the main theme.
Other than that I’ve been feeling delirious most days. It’s an interesting feeling always being on edge, but in that fuzzy, where-am-I? way of being on edge. I guess it’d be equivalent to taking sedatives, or Nyquil. That stuff is like being hit with an elephant tranquilizer. No need to warn about operating heavy machinery or driving, I’m lucky if I can make it to my bed before passing out after taking a dose.
Not-so-Instant Gratification
Sometimes I like having to wait for stuff. For instance, I’m currently downloading some torrent files. They’re downloading at a pretty slow rate, but it makes what I’m waiting for seem worth it. Maybe that’s a little backwards psychology going on, but waiting a while for the unknown is pretty exciting. It also may relate to my being super-sentimental and waiting reminds me of days gone by when I had to wait until Christmas or my birthday for that number one gift from my infinite wishlist.
I think autumn makes me sentimental as well. There’s something about the way the sun shines on the trees and the smell of the world. Or some such poetic observation.
monday mornings are best for sleeping
I have to say that this part-time job I have is pretty great. This morning I went in at 9 o’clock and I’m already finished for the day. It’s kind of a bummer though when I think about how I could’ve been sleeping in. Then again, I only work Monday/Wednesday/Friday, so I can’t complain too much. Suggestion of the Day: Watch Flight of the Conchords.
