What It Is

miko2So I'm sitting in front of my computer in my room, and "Dark Side of the Moon" is playing on the radio. I'm creating my first journal entry, and wondering what I'm going to do today. Yesterday I tried to buy a bare-bones computer system from BCI, but their price kept going up (oh, the list price is wrong, price of memory has gone up. Oh, we don't have that motherboard, but I have another one for only $40.00 more). So I gave up for now. I have several things I need to buy -- a new mattress, for one. The one I have, I think I've had it since I was in grade school, and it's falling apart. Tires, for another. My car often feels like it's hydroplaning when it rains. I want to fix up Tom's old room into a computer/reading room, and for that I need a computer desk, a futon couch, another bookshelf or two... and a new computer. Which will it be this month? ^_^
Let's not forget that I missed my sister's birthday and haven't bought a wedding present for Jeff and Jeri-Lynn yet. I'm pathetic. But it's hard to shop at 3 am y'know....
What else I did yesterday... checked again for one of my stories to upload to a story site, they're really slow about those things. Checked some message boards. Read some stories online, started the fourth Harry Potter book too, I'm taking that one slow because I know it's the last one. Went to our Tai-Pan meeting, got some stuff back from Kristin and Sky, Sky returned 2 Feel So Bad cds and gave me more "Nerf" stickers that I don't know what I'll do with. Kristin lent me the latest Terry Pratchett novel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 1 on dvd... I lent her the two Revolutionary Girl Utena dvds (tv series not the movie) and also Soul Music on dvd, and one of the Akiko collected books, but I found out I haven't even let her read #3 or #4 yet and now I'm giving her #5... doh! One of the books I got back from Kristin I let Julie borrow.
I wore a tee shirt with Sky's koi design, which I bought off his cafepress store website... think I might be the only one to do that so far. It's pretty nice. I also bought one with the Nerf design he did for me.
Then I went home and read more stories online, and got a scene or three of Muyami Academy written. If only my friends knew how much I've written in the last several weeks... completed an old story, finished two large chapters on a massive story that is, at this point, more than twice as long as anything else I've ever written. And since it's an open-ended story, it's only going to keep growing. ^_^
But that still doesn't answer the question of what I'm going to do today. I really need to clean up the house... but I'll probably mess around with my journal settings, and watch Buffy.
