| Random musings I |
[Jul. 22nd, 2007|09:02 pm] |
I put the "I" by random musings because I figure that there will be a lot of entries titled this, and just out of curiousity I want to see how high I get. Something of a measure of how bad I am at naming things.
Well, I'm not tired, which is what started out this post. I'm supposed to be sleeping, however early it is; I'm on the /morning/ shifts at work, meaning that I'm always either starting work at 3AM or 6AM. Sound crazy as hell, but I did request it. Not only does it work better for talking to colly (I see myself as on either a 6AM shift or a 9AM shift) but it also works well to get other things done, and damn there's a lot of those. I've got to work, which takes up a great deal of time in the day. Damn money. And then I've got more fun things, which I'll list in increasing order o fundome.
Well I'm also working at a place called computer corps. I guess volenteering would be a better word, but I feel guilty using that because in the end I am getting computer parts and possibly even a computer out of it. Basically I work with really old computers, revamping them to give out to either underprivilaged families throughout Nevada, or sell to South Korea. That last part I won't tell employers when I put this on my resume, but this is reality and obscure nonprofits don't get that much actual cash donations; most people just drop us off a computer and think that that's it. It's sad that I was lined up for a very nice internship until my employer lied to me about how much he would pay me, and stuck me back in my old job. I don't mind the old job, though, I mind being lied to and decieved, missing a great internship oppertunity for cash that I'm not going to be getting, doing nothing more that a stupid volenteer thing for my future. When I think about that too much I feel like I am being very useless this summer.
Well, moving on I have wood harvesting. I've found great sources of juniper and, yes, YEW!!!! yay! I've just got to get the crap. It kinda sucks, because it's like offering yourself up to the biting bugs of the world for a few hours, and it's really hard on the arms and hands, I put a lot of blood into getting the yew I already have. ANd the juniper is in carson, which is always hot and sunny as hell. Never fun. But it is fun to split the stuff and see what I got out of a harvest, though, yet again, it's hard on the arms. Yeah, yeah, you try swinging a full 5lbs sledge for three hours and get back to me on that.
I'm also working on a language that could have some rather fun implications if I can ever crank the damn thing out. It's based entirely on wave interference patterns, which makes for a very fun language. Military implications are large, because you would have to "aim" this signal somewhere, and anywhere else it would come up as randomly scattered things. It's also just fun and cool looking. It and another language that I need to continue working on are things that I'm really looking forward too.
Next are a few projects I've been working on for a special someone who reads this, so I can't say much more on that subject :)
Technically the next two are a tie, but I'll list this one first. Books. They're everywhere, and they are really good for the most part. I'm struggling to do anything else when one is around. Damn you (you know who you are). But they are fun, and I can't help myself.
Lastly, is of course, bows. They can be so frusterating/fun to make, and the end result is one of the coolest things you can make. I'm working on some kids bows right now that I have great hope for... now just to find some kids with unsuspecting mothers to give them too. Yeah, I'm evil, I know.
And right now I'm still stuck in my epic battle with sleep. I wish we didn't have to, I'd actually be able to get a lot of the above stuff done, which I really want to do. Instead we have to follow this stupid ball of fire in the sky. Yuck. I hate the sun, even more currently because the one time I thought I could get to sleep I couldn't because the sun was in my window, blasting me. For the most part, as much as I like the dimmer light from it, I wish that we could just get rid of fire altogether. For anyone who doesn't know, and is living in their own special little land, the west, where I live, is on fire. And we're expeciting more lightning in my area tomorrow. Fun. We need to get rid of that crap, at least before every house in the west is burnt down, and all the rest smoked out.
Well, I guess I've stalled enough, it's back to the death-lock with sleep. Wish me luck. |
