I haven't had a lot to say today...

I went back to sleep, dozed through a cool and pretty afternoon with Purcell playing. Got up, ate, read some of the Russell for tomorrow, disagree with a few things he's said (particularly about a table not "really" having any one specific color, because on a microscopic level, unaffected by the light, we can always find out what the pigments are and what shade they make). I still have more to read tonight.

More cleanup in feministas, mostly over this girl who had been trolling who kept emailing me to insist that i remove references that members made to her posts because they used the LJ user tag and it functions as a link. Oooooooh. She was threatening me with abuse complaints and claiming she would get the community suspended; I told her to take it up with the people who made the posts, and that continuing to mail me after I had expressly told her not to equals harrassment. That is not a game that people should play with me, really; I've been around. I wrote to ljabuse explaining the situation with her and asking that her complaints be taken with a grain of salt, and I politely asked the posters to remove the info she was griping about, just to save me the further hassle. Which they did, so everything seems to be cool now and my poor wee community seems back on track. More or less. Gotta love internet drama. :)

After taking care of that I watched some figure skating. I think I have to reverse my statements of last week: the ice dance just wasn't that great this year. The women's so far are very good... anyone catch Sasha Cohen? She's gorgeous, she just flows, I would love to see her win even higher than the bronze. Michelle Kwan and Irina Slutskaya both also really earned their top 3 placement.

I still need to work on finishing up the Blue Monday selector. I'll do that for a while, then finish my reading, then go to bed. Lots of things done today (and I left out the cooking and the laundry and such), but none of it all that interesting. & at the same time... I like my quiet life.

oh, I hate this. When I can't seem to sleep for more than 4 hours/night. It's non-fun. I have to get up and be functional, and I'm so tired... I woke up 90 minutes before my alarm was set to go off... and even that wasn't going to be enough.

read more of the Russell before I went to sleep last night; he sort of addresses my pigment-based argument about the color of the table. I have no smart things to say in class today and I really just want to go back to bed.

Instead, I'm going to dry my hair, drink some tea, and get a move on...

ice rubylou for this one.

go here and watch this amusingly foolish THINGY.

I only went to class for 1/2hr, because I was late and then it got out early. I survived. Whee. I missed a breathtaking explication of Kantian and Hegelian idealism. I feel so deprived. Table still looks like faux-birch formica to me. My mom drove me to class, which she usually doesn't, because usually she is still in bed when I leave and when I get back (that's 2 pm... depressed people are fun).

Right now she's upset because the cellphone company (CINGULAR) gave her phone number to someone else the other day and tried to get her to fix it herself ("well, you need to call the store where this other person upgraded their phone the other day..."). The cellphone hasn't worked in about three days. She just politely bit off someone's head over the phone ("no, YOU need to call them. This is CINGULAR'S mess and a customer service issue for you. I'll be home after 5PM and I expect a call telling me that my phone service is working again"). It was entertaining.

( and now for more surveys. whee. )

haiku upon being nagged for soft food by my cat, who has a bowl full of hard food at his feet.

N: "hungry" again.
He constantly wants fresh food.
It sucks to be him.

information overload

I just removed myself from at least 1/3 of the communities I belonged to. Mostly the ones that were super-low-traffic or that I never read. I feel like there's less mental clutter. I have to be in the 4 I run but beyond that, it's all gravy.

also: i feel really nauseous. help.
