Spring is still springing in earnest. There are some little cacti whose blooms are nearly as big as themselves. Lizards are out, the butterflies are back, and the ants, of course, are making up for all their lost time.

We're nearing the end of April and I haven't completed a single thing on my goal list from the end of March. I'm closest to completing the edit, but I still have more than a week's worth to go, having slacked off quite a bit last week. Granted, I slacked off on everything equally, so now I'm having to be productive on all fronts equally. Hopefully it'll give me the kick I need to get over my "eeh, everything sucks why am I doing this" mentality.

I do have a photo project in mind - maybe I should focus on finishing that before May rolls in, so I can at least point to one bullet in that list and go "ha!"

Completely unrelated, I'm off coffee again for the time being. :( I thought I was free and clear and then last week I noticed an increasing preoccupation with every little pain. I had an uptick in headaches, too, which usually is not a good sign. So no coffee. But I know I'll have to attack this on other fronts, too, so going back to the Daily Plate. It sucks, but it'll suck worse if this continues to the point where I'm too scared to go anywhere or do anything for fear of, well, fear.

On a happier note, holy shit Portal 2 was awesome. That may have also contributed to my utter lack of concentration last week, because all I wanted to do was play and find out more about the story. I likened it to how I felt about Rothfuss' Wise Man's Fear, actually. I both wanted to hurry so I'd know what happens, but also linger and take my time because there is so much detail, so much characterization, so much much. I wish more games were like that, but I s'pose that'd be a bad thing, in that more games would suck out my brain. Oh Valve, this is why I love you so.

Also also: DOCTOR WHO SEASON 6. WTF. Watched it with

malanai and Lady on Sunday, while munching on banana cupcakes, custard, and fish sticks. Which, by the way, is decidedly not as gross as it looks - the whole fish sticks and custard thing, I mean. Still, I'd prefer my fish sticks with hot sauce, not custard. Anyway. WTF. I am absolutely delighted to have the new season, but what a bunch of crazy to throw into the first episode. This better weave throughout the whole season. I won't take all that being resolved in the next episode lying down.

<3!
