Morning of contradictions: Tired and hyper, cold and hot. (Assorted life stuff.)

First: Happy birthday luminata! Have a great day and lots of cake and gifts! :)

As I expected before logging off, I didn't sleep much at all last night. I was bouncy and happy and excited, and wrote the trip LJ post in my head many many times. :) I should have just gotten up and typed it up!

Bad news, especially since 'not being able to sleep' is such a common thing: I'm going to need to start getting up earlier. My morning walks are getting longer and longer, and now I'm just barely getting in to work on time.

As much as I hate Fry's, I was pondering going at lunchtime and picking up a set of the headsets that the LS folks were talking about last night (they let you talk to other people on MMORPGs, which would make partying and such easier). Then I remembered that I was supposed to go grocery shopping at lunchtime, and since if I don't get food today I won't have any all next week while on vacation, I probably better do that. However...

...Since Friday morning is my official weighing time, I checked it this morning (even though I checked it on Wednesday, too). *sniff* Gained a pound since Wednesday! I'm hoping-hoping-hoping it's just water weight, though I have been eating dinner all of the last three days, so it could be related to that. *sniff* Bad me!

It's darned chilly out right now! Weatherbug says it's 47 degrees, and I'd believe it. While I was rather warm from my walk (I walked faster than usual so I could get to work on time) I was still cold, and now I feel chilled as well. I'd love nothing more than to be able to crawl back into my warm bed and snuggle with my kitty. :)

After a very, very, very belated start, I'm finally reading the next Dark Tower book (the Wolves one). Boy, I love Stephen King, and this is totally my favorite series! I have to say that it's seriously disturbing to see Roland having sex with a woman. He always seemed so asexual to me! Not really even human! Sort of above sex somehow... Anyway, I'm about two-thirds through the book.

Yeah, I've seen those headsets around myself. Been told that they're really nifty, but also hard to pay attention with (I suppose it's the multi-tasking, because you're playing and talking out loud at the same time.)

Dark Tower? Did King write a book after Wizard and Glass or is that the one you're talking about (I wouldn't mind reading a new book by him that might not possibly suck)

Yep! Wolves of Calla (Callea? Calle?) is the next book in the series! It's very keen.

And yeah, I've never talked out loud while playing before, but it should be an interesting experiment! :)

Woo-hoo! Bookstore time! ^0^ (this better not suck major...he's already in *my* literary doghouse for Bag of Bones. >_>)

I just finished it last night (too fast!) and loved it a lot. If you liked the rest of his Dark Tower series, you should like it as well. :)
