So Random Access Memories has been out for 2 days but I still haven't downloaded or listened to it yet
At this rate I feel like I should just wait for my CD to get here and then listen to it, as old-fashioned as that may make me. I've already decided that listening to it on Spotify would be a sin due to the scourge of advertising.
And so my disproportionate obsession with French things continues. #daftpunk
I'm honestly not sure I have any interest in listening to it. I've been told by several people that it's overproduced and a huge departure from their normal style.
Well, I already bought it, so I'm kind of required to subject my ears to it. No point in preordering an album just to let it sit unlistened, digital or otherwise.
I definitely like the songs I have heard from it though. It's different, but the new approach kind of made me see that coming (everything is sampled from original work this time around), and Human After All proved that staying in the same old mindset all the time within the making of new music doesn't always work out.
Besides, it's a Daft Punk record. Ask people about it in a year and they'll say it's one of their best albums, people are always fickle about their stuff when it's first released.

Ah, the "when do I sleep" dilemma. Been there many times before.
Honestly, I usually end up staying up as long as possible, though I don't always like to do that because it basically means I have to get ready to go out as soon as I wake up.
Lately I've been trying to leave myself 7 or 8 hours of "bedtime", knowing full well that one or two of those hours will be lost to me screwing around on the internet in bed or reading or something to that effect.
It usually works quite well, but over the past week or two there have been a couple days where my mind has just fried and I end up having to go to work after having gotten only 4 or 5 hours of sleep.
What would you do if WFTS (a manifestation of the station itself, not any employees of it) entered your house and began playing smooth jazz for 36 hours straight while a NASA employee examined your scalp?

Also, I'm wondering if I should alter my sleep patterns a bit.
I had been operating under the assumption that getting up as late as possible (and thus staying up as late as possible) would maximize my time with internet friends, but it's occurred to me that (a) even when all my friends are online all night, conversation and activity tends to drop off by 4:00 or 4:30 am anyway, and (b) by sleeping until 4:00 pm I'm also losing a lot of the early afternoon hours, which seem like a pretty busy time for HH usually.
I wonder what Section would say to this. Ironically, he's in bed so I can't ask him yet. :V
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
And now I'm thinking about the three American TV networks I inherited at least stakes in from Lionsgate: the TV Guide Network, Epix, and FEARnet
TVGN and Epix appear to be the only ones of any value, and TVGN is the only one ABC Inc controls. I am kind of on-the-fence about the name "TV Guide Network"...this brings it in line with the TV Guide magazine and website (the former of which I would like to purchase, the latter of which I already own), but I'm worried that my desired focus for the channel (partially on entertainment, like the other TV Guide properties, and partially on original and acquired scripted series, with a more populist/broad-appeal bent than AMC or IFC) would render the name overly clunky.

Not too bad. Certainly better than this time last week, though still a bit out of it.
Finally starting to get some decent hours at work, too.

Well, as you already know, my sleep schedule has become that of a normal person's for the moment. It will almost certainly get thrown off again soon, but it would probably benefit me to transition to a somewhat more normal sleep schedule than I'm used to, anyways. My father's been pushing me to be more active during the day, and honestly, if I'm allowed to give school another try, I'm gonna have to make this transition anyways.
I'll still likely do the occasional all-nighter, of course, but I intend on trying to only do those once or twice a week instead of every single night. Just for reference's sake, my plan is to go to bed from 2/3 AM to 10/11 AM except during all-nighters. That should allow me enough time to talk to you, dear, and the rest of my friends while being able to actually do things during the day. We'll see if I can actually pull this off.
Of course, if dear has anything to say about this, she's open to talk to me about it in the venue of her choosing. Unfortunately, I can't talk to her about it at the moment because she's asleep herself. :V
Ugh, great, my mother took the computer away. I guess I could kind of understand why she'd do that during the school year, but I'm at home all day and she didn't leave me with a list of chores or anything so I don't really see the point.

So I started reading Dr. Ninjaguy.
I am, but unfortunately I have to take my COMPASS test today.
I'm not sure if I should sleep now or not. It's at 5PM so I mean it's not for awhile, but....

I wrote some haiku--in Yarrun's poetry thread--mere moments ago.
interestingly; this too, right here now, is one-line haiku.
I wonder if I should keep a journal--a book--written in haiku.
To record and keep my daily experience artistically.
Not bad!
Celebrated six months with my sweetie, left school to go on study leave, and currently taking exams.
How about you?
Finally starting to get some decent hours at work, too.
*hugs*
Woop!
Awesome.
