Peopled out

[float_on_alright]

I think I got all of three words added to my story today while I was at work. We’ve been surprisingly busy this month. I feel pretty much like burnt toast today which is completely my fault. I’ve been staying up too late pretty much every single night and I really can’t expect my body or mind to put up with that kind of thing.

 

I’m still watching Grimm, even as I sit here and watch this. And I had totes forgotten about Amy Acker’s appearance in an episode. I love her like crazy. She’s a troubled Wesen in this, which is always fun.

 

Watching Grimm, he’s always going through books and looking up things, but there’s no catalog and he has no idea how to read half of what he’s got. Honestly, how does this guy have time to be a cop, spend time with his girlfriend, ever sleep or eat, and research all this business with no way of researching that isn’t just pouring and pouring through pages upon pages of diary entries that are in no particular order other than that which the person writing encountered them. Honestly, I think I’d end up spending days--shit, weeks--trying to find one Wesen in all those books without having time for anything else.

 

It’s almost 1 am and I want to finish my book and I want to make my writing goal and I want to watch Grimm and I want to sleep and there are probably a few other things too, but those are the main ones. I have plans to go to the gym tomorrow and then see Black Panther with my friend Cara. I’m not planning on being at the movie theater until 4:30 but I definitely don’t want to be late as I’m sure it’ll be fun finding seats what with how many people I’m sure will be there. It’s just after most people get off work and it’s a Friday so I expect the theater to be pretty full. Which I have a good chunk of time tomorrow but I’m sure that I’ll still want to sleep in and I’ll need to eat at some point and shower after the gym.

 

I did do a mini work out tonight which I was pretty proud of. It was only like 6 or 7 minutes but I still burned like 80 calories--active calories according to my Apple Watch. I didn’t do a run today but I still wanted to do something.

 

I’ve only got about an hour left in my audiobook, but even listening at an increased speed like I normally do, I really shouldn't stay up later to finish the damn thing. Though I’m great tempted. I’m thinking that with the trip out to the gym, I should get close to finishing it in the car to and from the place. I could always listen while I’m working out too. I haven’t tried such a thing yet, but I’m sure that could be fun.

 

Still I’m so tempted. I mean it’s been so good. Just, like so good. I love it so much. I’ve just been screaming happily on the inside for the entire time I’ve been listening to it. Now that I’m thinking about, I think I’m going to go ahead and grab the sequel. I know it’s on Hoopla and the counter for my library’s available checkout reset at midnight. I would be so upset if I waited until sometime tomorrow afternoon when I finish the first in the series and I can’t get the second one until after midnight tomorrow. Even with all the other things going on in my life, I can say for sure I’d be upset about it.

 

I’m listening to some Youtube videos that are playing some crazy piano clips for no particular reason. This one is like a progression of music through the last few centuries and they’re playing several pieces I enjoy. They played “Clair de Lune” which I really love. I know that probably sounds a little cheesy since it’s a super popular piece, but I do just really enjoy it. The videos are odd because the man mostly stares at the camera--like right in the camera lens so it looks like he’s looking at you--while he plays the piano. But he’s super talented and my 1:30 am sleep deprived brain is sort of kind of loving it.

And now his piano is playing itself.

 

I… am going to bed now.
