Maybe I'll just go home and go to sleep.

The only problem with that, though, is that things rarely seem better when I awake.

OK--that's not the only problem. The other problem is that I'm completely useless while I'm asleep, so it's really not a way of avoiding the guilt of futility.

Some-times, I wish that I was interested by more popular activities. Some-times, I wish that I was working on something more obvious to more people, something that people could see, like user-interfaces. I find that stuff boring as hell, though.

In stead, I'm sitting here writing corpus-coding routines, which I enjoy, but... it's a lonely activity. It's not something that I can discuss, and that's not due to some sort of legal binding, or particular disability of mine own..., it's just that no-one is interested.

This week is a good #{week:}#

• I finished paying-off my car--I am now debt-free.
• I deposited the eleven pay-cheques that have been sitting in various places waiting to be deposited.
• I'm getting my pen back from being warranty-serviced.
• I plan on buying more canvases, this week.
• ... and I just might buy a nice stool and/or some other painting-accessories for my room.

I remember deciding on the payment-plan for my car, and thinking that the three-year plan for which I opted might be tight, but that the four-year plan was excessively long and would end up costing too much, and that the idea of having a payment-plan that lasted as-long-as or longer-than my warranty was absurd. I remember thinking that a two-year plan would have been impossibly painful. And, now, I've finished paying for the car in sixteen months. Yow.

So..., it's been, and appears that it will be, a good week..., at least in terms of me-in-relation-to-the-world.

I'm not sure how it measures as in terms of me-in-relation-to-the-universe.

As far as me-in-relation-to-myself goes..., it's been sort-of junky, I suppose. I've written no essays. I've written no code (excepting the trifles at worg). I've been very unproductive, personally.

... except that..., I did paint, which is where all of the canvases that I had went-to.... And I'm probably not going to junk them all, so I suppose that's positive.

I also found a quote that helped to express some of my thoughts on creativity and education, which I suppose counts as good.

I should write an essay about education.

It amazes me,
that the only direct thing
that I can get you to say
is that you're not interested
in being something other
than an ass-hole.

Furthermore,
that you,
of all people,
expect me to listen to that.

C++'s operator-based namespace-selection semantics actually seem rather novel--it's a shame that they aren't more generalised, or even just more rich, so as to include more than a static pair of namespaces and single-case-plus-default switch.
