So I got called out for my mushy post yesterday.  Thanks guys. :)

I slept a lot better last night.  It helped my mood initially, but I’ve been swinging a bit while I was here.  I think I’m just ready for a weekend.  Oh, and for the re-debut of my Mage game.  That’s right, , you suck.  Heh.

There’s all this meaningful stuff rolling around in my head, but it’s all little meaningful stuff.  Like, how I was all happy that I signed up for an IPM early, because was going to be jumping out of a plane that day, and then Deb posted about her bonfire, and I was all, “Well, shit.”  Then, after the small important thing about signing up early, the small happy re-realization that I was as spiritually at home amongst all that electronics as I am in front of a bonfire hit me, which made me smile.  There are little things about searching for the battery for the laptop that are pleasing, and make me feel like a real writer.  This is a reward for re-determining to work for the Ann Arbor Paper, as the hell calls today are a punishment for taking this long.  Little things.

I’m not all about this Maya Cosmos book by David Feidel, Linda Schele, and Joy Parker.  It’s well-researched, well-written, and such, but something about the Mayan artwork, how it’s so packed in and over-busy, makes me twitch.  I think I’m going to put it back on the shelf.

Transmetal Optimus Primal is now at my desk.  Optimal Optimus and Beast Machines Optimus Primal will come next week.  Soon… soon, I will have my weekend. :)

Woke up with a skull-crushing sinus headache this morning. Slept for crap last night. Obviously, I miss the . I’m amazed and reassured that we still miss each other this much after only one day. Yes, it’s sickeningly cute… deal. :)

An Aleve took care of the headache, and work has been very tolerable since then. I was sure that I was going to be late this morning, thanks to the construction that’s causing a backup RIGHT before the Zeeb Rd. exit, but I was smart and got off on the Jackson Rd. exit. On time, with two minutes to spare. :) Unfortunately, I was so sluggish this morning that I didn’t pack a lunch. Subway turkey sammich, here I come.

Optimus list, mostly for me:

Optimus Prime, Generation 1 – At work.

Optimal Optimus, Beast Wars – At home.
LioConvoy, Beast Wars the Second – Must acquire.
Big Convoy, Beast Wars Neo – see Energon Nemesis Prime.

YAY!! I won’t have to import this from Japan!! It was originally a Japanese version of Optimus Prime called Big Convoy (Prime’s original name in Japan was Convoy), and was never issued here. I wonder if they’re going to do something similar with LioConvoy. Huh. EEEEEVIL PRIME!!

The good news is that I don’t have an ulcer.

The bad news is that I have a hiatal hernia.

The drug they used to put me out is still making me a little dizzy at times, and I slept it off, adding enough sleep to what I got to get a stubborn headache. However, I don’t remember a thing about them putting the camera down my throat.

I barely remember shuffling out of the U of M Hospital like the thorazine patients in the movies.
