Double Header Update... If Skyline really was made for just $10 million, then it earns another 0.25 on its score.

Sleep? Check.
Bath? Check.
Recovered...? Let me get back to you on that one...

Mission 101 Update... I am killing Task 64
64 - Try and run an RP thread on Gaia
Their decision to include the equipping of a smoking-related item in their "Achievements" system is simply disgusting. There is just no excuse for promoting the habit. If there's no change in this policy, I'm finished with Gaia - and I find myself with an empty slot in my list. Unless I find somewhere else to RP...

...so, what's left? I already have an "RP in Ultima Online" task (Task 63), and I actually have a specific character for the task, getting known in the area I usually frequent, and providing a regular public service, manning the main tavern in the neighbourhood. Right now, Second Life is really a no-goer, due to hardware limitations, but that's something I intend to remedy once The Move gets closer to being finalised - a hardware upgrade is certainly well overdue. Could there be a suitable laptop...?

Gonna take it easy for the rest of the day - maybe some writing later - and watch the two movies on this afternoon - Eighties nugget Explorers, and the outstanding My Neighbour Totoro. Guess it's about time to get into the Christmas spirit.

And finally... Need to make whatever plans are needed for Patent Saturday (that's Wednesday after next) - I'm thinking it's going to be centred around a quiet final celebration at Site A, with presents...

It took nearly three hours to patch Ultima Online on the desktop. Laptop and netbook? About fifty minutes each... and then I started tinkering with a few things in-game, and oooops, it's mid-afternoon, and there's not a syllable of writing done. Poo.

What's happened to the last couple of weeks? I'm getting VERY close to the proposed "night shoot" date (Monday morning, actually), but I've done bugger all preparation for it. I've not exactly been at my best recently, and that's going to put a dampener on things no matter how focussed you might try to be. Depending on how I feel, and whether the weather holds, I might carry out the plan next week - I may even have an appropriate craft project ready by then, but that's going to require some extensive sewing sessions...
52 - Complete some craft projects I've started
95 - Go on a early morning/dawn photography expedition, and come back with good pics
Starting to think I'm needing to be more serious with my time-management, especially when late nights seem to be a "No Go Zone". If I plan to do something at a certain time - writing, crafts, whatever - that's what I need to be doing, and if I have any "empty slots" (like this morning), then I need to be filling them.

Hey, at least I did something Mission-oriented this morning...
63 - Do some more RP in Ultima Online
in that I managed to make and engrave a trophy for a possible darts competition, the seeds for which were sewn last night. Not a total loss, then.
