The Reset

Was wiped out. Unable to think. Went to bed early.

More Weird Body Clock Stuff

Since I’m now operating on the exact opposite of a 24 hour day. Oh well, off to do some work and then have lunch…

Body Clock Reset

Having completely screwed up my circadian rhythm by waking up some time close to 8 pm, I’m going to just ride it out for Saturday and then not sleep during the day on Sunday so that I’ll be sufficiently exhausted enough to actually collapse on Sunday night and thus be able to function during the day on Monday.

I don’t reccomend this to anyone by the way.

What An Incredibly Long Day

And it’s still not done.

Aside from having to wake up at the ungodly hour of 6 something a-freakin’-m to make sure I was there before 7:30 for the live broadcast (Which lasted the whole of five minutes), there was that meeting for the other documentary that ran a couple of hours. I hate meetings, I really do. Mostly because a meeting seems to be about talking and hoping to achieve an objective, whereas most people realize talking does absolutely nothing of the sort, and should be done strictly for recreational purposes.

After that I worked on the script for the other TV series, but didn’t finish it, then nipped off to play Monster Hunter Freedom and now am back. And I still have to finish that script. And I haven’t played Xenosaga at all today. And did I mention I’m operating on about two or three hours of sleep?

Oh well, back to that script.

I Am Dumb

Instead of giving myself a few hours of extra sleep before an 11 am meeting to discuss another TV project, I boneheadedly agreed to appear on a 7:30 am broadcast of BBC in Singapore because they need more “professional industry observer opinion” on the state of Sony and it’s delayed PS3 in Europe launch.

The tragedy of all this is that I don’t even really want to be on TV, but they asked really nicely and said they really wanted someone who wasn’t a suit to comment knowledgeably on it, so like a dunce I said okay.

Man, I should be in bed now. But I’m still not done with a second script that needs to be handed in by Friday…

Still Busy

Got them scripts and Xenosaga still happening, though Xenosaga is winning in the attention department…

No Responsibility

So instead of writing scripts today I’m blowing through more Xenosaga. I suck.

Too… Busy…

Scripts and Xenosaga III, that’s what it’s all about right now.

At Last

With the acquisition of Xenosaga III: Also Sprach Zarathustra I now have:

a) The conclusion to the best science fiction Japanese RPG I’ve ever played.

b) Closure on a story that feels like a novel I’ve been following for years.

c) Super cute, blue-haired robot girls that can annihilate entire sectors of space with phased particle beam weapons that look adorable while doing it. God bless the Japanese.

Tech Day

It was one of those weird days where things only got partially accomplished. Some work was done on articles and a trip to Funan Center (Dubbed the IT Lifestyle Mall) led to a few minor accomplishments. The Wife has now ordered up a new PC rig for herself with some very respectable specifications, thus allowing her to be more efficient in her digital artwork since the PC (Hopefully) will no longer be lagging out with incredibly slow, jittery operation and framerates when she works on really big pictures with a high dpi.

I myself really only did two things, the first being I found out the conclusion to my favorite sci-fi RPG series, Xenosaga, will be available for pick-up tomorrw. Conveniently, the Wife’s new rig should also be done then. The other thing I did was to FINALLY remember to pick up the third trade paperback of The Invisibles by Grant Morrison, which is one of the most bizarre stories I’ve ever read, and reminds me a LOT of the Illuminatus! trilogy I read years and years ago by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. Either Shea and Wilson are major influences on Morrison or else they’re just incredibly good friends, I’m not sure which, but the Invisibles invokes much of that crazed, humorous, free-spirited, “The world is not what you think it is and is in fact for more horrifying, sexual and psychedelic than you think it is” vibe that I got from Shea/Wilson’s trilogy.
