doing: Worrying about cash, worrying if an old alumni of my fraternity was going to survive through the week (he will), trying really hard to erase 2 days of staying awake and standing and failing (so sleepy), Freaking out this morning when I realized I had an exam that I'd thought was next week was today, and I hadn't studied. Going to professor and asking for an extension, getting one and feeling like the poop. Working very hard on keeping my room clean, debating if I should start a gaming group, getting ready for spring break.

planning: to sort out the phone bill, to pay housemates I owe and collect from housemates who owe me, to pay all the rent I still owe my current landlord and sort out forms and stuff for my next landlord, to go to some lectures, to start my dissertation, to meet my dissertation tutor, to pay off my library fine so I'm allowed to get books out again, to organise the amnesty AGM, to get a job, to cut down and to sort my life out in general. I'm ambitious.

*Edit: okay, the original post might have been funnier; I just wasn't too sure about CS

Location: The things, they hurt
reading The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, and Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. Well, sorta. I haven't had a look at them in a few weeks. Darned life getting in the way. Actually just now I was reading Legislative Council records. Mind numbing except for the laughable bits.

studying Said Legislative Council records. I'm writing a paper for work, or rather, ghost writing it. I'm being made to pretend I'm a renowned newspaper columnist and financial analyst so that it looks as if the man actually put some work into this, instead of getting an entry-level hack to recycle some of his old columns.

listening to The irate chatterings of my pet parrot and mynah. I'm keeping them up past their bedtime and they don't seem too happy about it.

eating Candy. I've eaten all the good candy, so I'm stuck with the bad stuff now.

doing Procrastinating. Whee.

Website: http://Wireball.com/
Location: Hawthorne, CA
reading: Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver (boy, the 17th century was pretty grotty!), and MissMab.com.
studying: Practicing drawing daily - I'm finally starting to become fairly reasonable at drawing what I see. The better I get at drawing, the better I'll be able to hold original pictures in my head and translate them onto paper, or 3D. Another few weeks and I'll be able to start drawing the things I see in my head to a degree that I'm not completely dissatisfied with my results :)
listening to: Mostly Classical, some selections from my library (Pictures at an Exhibition, Finlandia, music ripped from my Warcraft II CD... mostly in .mp3 vbr format, although I find that .ogg seems to sound a bit better)
watching: Various 99¢ store DVD's of old television series such as the Beverly Hillbillies, on the computer.
eating: Intermittently, mostly lentils, rice, and sourdough toast with non-hydrogenated imitation butter or salt/peanuts-only peanut butter (relatively expensive, but tasty).
doing: Funny how weeks will go by with little or no activity, and then I'll have a cluster of conflicting meetings and appointments on the same day - meet with a computer consulting client about what I fixed on the school's library computers, go to a doctor's appointment, tag along for a meeting with a bankruptcy lawyer pertaining to the already long-non-functional family computer business. Also planning to sell some old laserjets and surplus computer equipment off on eBay.
