caraigThe heat came up this morning.
One could say 'the cycle is complete.' The memory flashbacks I've had that see me back here in New York at my desk typing away pleasantly at the laptop, in long sleeves with the heater purring in the background. I tend to get melancholy at times like this, especially if I'm already frustrated or depressed, but right now I'm just a tad bewildered by these feelings.
Long-term memory is a funny thing. I can remember any number of things from a long time ago if I have the right stimulus. Even now, the right smell, the right trick of the light on water, a mix of the right temperature and humidity and sound can make me remember with that "awful clarity" I've spoken of before, places and events from a long time ago.
And yet after seventeen months of living in Florida, I never did memorize my phone number!
Plenty of stuff to keep busy with. Looking for work, of course. Some web design work and graphics, some modeling/animation work on a game with some friends, some drawing stuff. Played some Xenosaga, which was mildly inspiring for 'science fantasy' type plots. Took a bit of a break from NWN for a bunch of reasons. Stomach is getting a bit crampy -- not sure if it's just the change of seasons, diet, sleeping habits, tension, looking for a job, all of the above, or what.
The infamous Ballmer 'Developers' video is perhaps one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen, because the tune is so catchy and Ballmer is such a freak. I can't think of the music without having Ballmer shouting, screaming, and dancing through my mind. Now that this is in your brain, as well, I recommend this to exorcise the Ballmerog.
I'm addicted to stress, that's the way that I get things done,
If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long, and I hang around like a bum,
I think I'm goin' nowhere and that makes me nervous....
