Yes, it's my birthday, thank you thank you. I'm officially halfway to 56 and a third of the way to being able to do math.

I coulda been a contender.

Weird things have been afoot. Universal shifts. Either that or Belgian beer. Probably the latter.

But the truth is, the ironies decided to whack me a good one. Between Sunday night and Wednesday evening I slept <8 hours. That means I was up for...math...about 80 hours.

Why? I got obsessive. I built another website I'll link here when it's more polished...especially considering my state when I wrote it. And yes, unlike this one I hand-coded the whole darn thing. It's so much easier. Why do I use these silly templates? I do learn from them but hand-coding is easier. Albeit I have no idea what I'm doing half the time. But it's like learning Japanese. Better to start with grammar and forms than just memorizing phrases and trying to adjust them.

That, I had a big meeting, learned a lot at work. Lost all hope and got reinspired about 10 times in the last two days. And was asked to define the meaning of life by a friend I thought had written me off.

Personal garbagio, work insanity, obsession, isolation and connections all weaving in and out too fast to keep up. Not in my best mind.

That having been said, I had a great evening out just now with two students. Too much fun. Good guys. Funny.

But I have to clean up my apartment so a bunch of drunken teachers can crash here tomorrow and eat girlscout cookies and milk till the first train comes.

And then I have to get my life in order. Japanese. Defining the meaning of life more practically. Finishing the website so I can stop fussing. So I'm making a concerted effort to do that stuff for a few days. Posting may be intermittent for a week and then I'll be back to proper blogging.
