Ugh, oversleep

I woke up at 0730, calculated that meant I'd had five hours sleep, went back to sleep
and now it is 1230 and I feel like I got squashed somehow.

It wasn't even very interesting dreams.

Anyway, all of that, the dreams between 0730 and 1230, they weren't any of them the sort I'd bother to call a nightmare. Even the chasing and kidnaps and the armed robbery and so forth. That was just dreams. If I don't wake up scared then it don't count. I only woke up curled up in a ball wondering where the blanket went.



... on reflection it's not actually surprising when I wake up tired.

I am brave and mighty and wrote two - 2! - emails today
one of them asking for more stuff
which is always difficult.

on the other hand I wrote this opus just at 1700 when there's likely no one there to read it
but hey
they'll be there tomorrow.

My head feels all thick and blergh.
the part of today's plan that involved phoning places just has not happened
because blergh.

still, progress.

and I did laundry too. must go and swap loads now.

James Blish

I started trying to read some Blish: A case of conscience / Doctor Mirabilis / Black Easter and The Day After Judgement
actually I didn't so much as skim that last, I read the back and just noped.
Mirabilis does things with English which I really can't be bothered with, so I only got 35 pages in, and whatever the point was meant to be I don't think I care enough to read uphill like that.
Conscience I skimmed, read the end, read the original end, still think it's entirely too Catholic to spend much time on.

But I don't know, hugo award, sounds like it ought to be interesting
and you'd think I'd be interested in religion-meets-SF.

But right now they're on the To Go pile after I deleted them from my LibraryThing, and likely to stay there unless someone says they're secretly awesome.

Whenever I watch nature documentaries
I just end up so sorry
I want to apologise to the planet forever

And it wasn't specifically me that, for instance, imported rabbits and then stoats to hunt the rabbits, and near enough wiped out the native ecosystem of New Zealand, but still
so
very
sorry.



Note to self for planetary colonisation purposes: No rabbits.
