Sine Wave

Metre

No, I’m not out of the woods yet. I thought I would be soon enough, but yesterday proved otherwise.

Work

Thankfully, it doesn’t affect my work. It seems premature to suggest that there is light at the end of the tunnel for school work, but that really appears to be the case. I’m sure I’ll be changing tune soon enough, though.

My Sociology test came and went. I’m now wondering if I didn’t do what was expected of me. Well, only one way to find out.

Today we’re starting on King Lear.

As far as writing goes, everything is also going pretty well. I thought of it in three stages, and I’m probably going to finish the first phase within the month, optimistically. When Phase One is done, it will then simply be a matter of… well, figuring out Phase Two.

I’m making up a lot of things. Then again, in a sense, that’s what this job is, isn’t it?

In any case, I guess you could say that in some respect, everything is falling into place. That would be spot-on, and yet it also couldn’t be further from the truth.

Reading

Finished Slow Learner. Liked a couple of stories; didn’t like the others. Not sure what I’ll read next, though by the time you read this I should already have picked something.

Comedy

The Road: A Comedic Translation (Part 4). [via The Millions]

Fibre

They fixed up some new fibre optic network thing yesterday. I’m sure everyone tells you the same damn thing, but darn, when technology moves, it moves. The surreptitiousness with which hard disk sizes double and prices half still surprises me even now. And it wasn’t so long ago when I was proud to have my 56K line.

Sure, I sound like less of a nerd and more of an uncle at a kopitiam in saying that, but still, it’s magnificent to watch. With luck, maybe I’ll get to be Tron in my lifetime.

It also implies that I probably need to get to upgrading my desktop. Well, I don’t need to, but I sure would like to.

Erased

I never listened very much to Thom Yorke’s solo album The Eraser. I’ve been rectifying that over the past few days, though. It’s a wonderful album, and is a snug fit with the sort of mood I’m in right now. Great music.
