Excessive

I found out a week or so ago that we're having a boy! Finding out the sex of your unborn child is a real mix of emotions. It plays with your expectations and picture of the future, and just makes it all seem much more real.

I'm writing an XML parser / XML reader for no reason besides my own amusement, which is both nerdy, but fun, so I don't care. It's hard to find time to work on it, or find time where I'm awake enough to work on it, and it can be frustrating because I sit down to work and I am just so tired that I can't understand the basic concepts that make up the project.

I swear I'll write tomorrow. Two new computers, rain, headaches, a cold, school soon.

I've been letting my writing slide over the last month or so, and it creates this sinking, guilty feeling in my stomach. I know I should be writing more, and I know that I'll regret my lack of writing in the coming days, weeks, months and years, but I've been finding it easier and easier to just put it off, or just not feel like it, and that's dangerous, as it seems to be somewhat of a slippery slope. If I'm busy playing a game at night, or reading, or watching a movie with Bekki, chances are I'm not going to stop what I'm doing to sit down and write, but I think I probably should, or at least start trying harder, because the last thing I want to do is fall into another blackout period where I don't write for a few months and that period of my life isn't recorded. I need to turn this around and get back on track, start recording my day to day life, so I can bore myself in the future!

Why do all country musicians have to wear cowboy hats when they're not out in the sun that often?

Yes, I already wrote today, as you could see if you scroll down a little bit, but I figured I would write a little bit as I waited for this sleeping pill to kick in.

It's 9:35pm (regardless of what the posting time says) and I'm getting a headache and I'm tired. This is usually the time I wind down, relax and play Pokemon while listening to podcasts, but this nagging headache is stopping me. I tried playing some Pokemon but looking at the screen really just made it hurt more, and Retronauts was boring today as it was about the SNK Neo-Geo, something I have no interest in, have never seen or played or anything, so that was a let down. The new episode of the Full Moon Show (Insomniac Games Podcast) was fun to listen to though, but instead of playing a game while listening to it, I just mindlessly browsed around the internet doing nothing.

It's 1Up Show/1Up Yours day! By far my two favorite podcasts (

Yeah yeah, I'll get to it.
