Is it just me who's not impressed by the trailers for Kill Bill? I usually await Tarantino films with enthusiasm but the idea of a film with Uma Thurman (who I can't stand) and Lucy Lui (annoying, hard nosed bitch) starring just has no appeal at all. And Japanese manga schoolgirl style hitwomen? Spare me.

Think I'll avoid that one.

Anyway, what else is going on with me? A mix of good and bad. Good news is thanks to Dr Atkin, I've lost 5lb already on this diet (I only started Monday). Not bad so far, but not to be compared with my mum who lost 5lb in just a single day supposedly (I think there's something wrong there but oh well). Anyway, think I'll keep it up for 2 weeks then go back to the ordinary diet. 2 weeks max, maybe less.

Otherwise... feeling pretty... isolated at the moment. I seem to be seeing less and less of a lot of my friends, which I'm sure isn't entirely down to me, although I have been less enthusiastic about hanging around on muxes all day and hanging out with my friends at night. Probably just the post deadline comedown that I often get at this time of month. A combination of tiredness and living my work and nothing else for a week or so leaving me feeling lonely.

Feeling really on my own at the moment though, having weird crushes or something on the people who do pay me the slightest attention. Very clingy and needy. Bah, I'm just -hating- being single just at this moment. Normally I can handle it but I want somone special to look after me just now. Yes, whiny and pathetic. Shutting up now.

Got the new computer (mostly) set up at home anyway. Just swapped over the imacs, the one I did have for working on at home only had a 7gb hard drive. I've swapped it for the machine with a 30gb hard drive which is also a lot faster. Should be an improvement. It's crashing left right and centre under OS9 at the moment though. obviously a glitch to iron out.

Paper came back yesterday when I had the day off. Just gonna browse through and see what glaring errors I've made this month.

Meh I say.

Oh, I've given up caffiene as part of my diet too, which probably explains my twitchiness and moodiness as much as anything.

Cold turkey. Gotta love it.

Such a freakin' addict.

Why can't they make anything simple? Having to upgrade (or hoping to anyway) to the OS X native Quark Xpress 6. Which won't run in OS 9. Only probem is if something screws up or doesn't go to plan I can't then backsave everything as Quark 4 format files. Only Quark 6 or 5. So I'm having to upgrade to Quark 5 to run in OS 9 so if anything goes wrong in OS X with Quark 6 I can still get into it in OS 9 with Quark 5.

Confused? I know I am!

Plus, can't get a copy of Quark 5. argh!

Finally beginning to admit I'm totally burnt out with muxing at the moment. Not just with one specific place or character, but in general. I've tried to force myself to sit down and write apps for new characters this week and failed completely. I just can't conjour up the enthusiasm. Equally so I've tried to write a slol scene for Jono to reintroduce him at XET and get a bit of play and I suddenly realised I just can't be bothered. No, that's not quite true. I want to get back into things but what I want and what I'm currently able to conjour up the effort and enthusiasm to do are currently completely different things.

So having made that admission, where do I go from here?

Actually, nowhere. I'm shelving all plans at present to apply for characters or drop characters or anything else to just go into a state of stasis. I'm not going to enjoy any rp I have at present so I'd rather hold on until I am able to enjoy what I'm doing and find the time and enthusiasm to rp properly.

So, no, not disappearing off the mapor dropping characters. I'll just be hanging around ooc for now (not much of a change over the past couple of months or so) and once the lull passes and I'm feeling up to it I'll be rping again.

It's a game, it should be fun, it's not. what is fun is hanging out and chatting to people and no-one's gonna begrudge me that even if I'm not rping. right? Right?!

Back to work on my Nocturne manip anyway.
