Why oh why is it not Friday?

[smeddley]

I am so sleepy. I keep meaning to go to bed early, but it's not been working out. If I do get to bed early, I don't sleep well. Today's bits of tid:

NaNo is... not going. I'm still hovering around 6,000 words, which is... bad. Maybe this weekend I can play catch up?
I haven't been back down in the basement since the day we got the carpet, though I need to putty the nail holes and vacuum up the carpet bits.
We have a toilet sitting in the pool table room. Hopefully it'll be installed in the basement next week.
Reading and typing comprehension are hovering around 10% - I can't manage to think clearly, I really need a nap.
There's a Woot-Off going on. Hopefully it'll not last all day, or I might not get my nap.
This is the world's most pointless entry.
Hippo banana peels, blubber clump pooh-bah.

*headdesk*

Also: the latest Ninja Warrior? (19) So sad! I'm wondering if they've made the course impossible or if they'll be able to crack it in a few tournaments. But that new cliffhanger... and Soloman's Ladder? Whoah.

I loved watching the first stage eating up competitors.. and how stage 2 was actually EASY except for the Salmon ladder for some of them

Man, that first stage is BRUTAL now. And Nagano totally won a way harder competition than the crab guy.

I wish they'd show more of the woman's - the freaky acrobat chick was AMAZING.

Did you watch 19? With the 2 american guys.. God that was brutal. I was marking out like a 15 year old meeting Hulk Hogan seeing the 2 guys not only meet, but get to hang out with the all stars and get advice from them. Friggin sweet.

18 was great to watch.. but I agree. I want to see more womens stuff, and for that matter, the episodes of the show where they challenge the Monster Box.. and the qualifying shows for Sasuke..

and of course I want ESPN to re-air Viking again so I can see Nagano in that too..

Yeah. It's that damn Pole Slide at the end of course 3 that everyone gets screwed on. They totally push that back to where it's not only hard to jump to the pad, but near impossible to get the distance to barely hit the edge. When I watched the last one with Mr Ninja Warrior and he failed at the very end with that I felt so shitty. That guys puts everything into the tournament.

I have mixed feeling on Mr. Ninja Warrior - on one hand, yeah, he puts all of himself into it, and it's sad to see him fail. On the other hand, he's made an obstacle course/contest his entire life, and that's kinda sad. I mean, I think they mentioned he split from his family over it and everything! O.o

Took me forever to get to sleep last night. Can't take a nap today b/c I have too much to do. So I really, really sympathize.

Early to bed rarely ever helps me. Usually just end up laying there, which is pointless.

You can do it. *digs out pom-poms* *cheers you on*

Good luck on everything. *big big hugs*

Yeah, I do end up just laying there, which is why I've still been tired despite 'going to bed' earlier. *sigh* I just need less stress. Which means I need to get things done. Which is... easier said than done!

I know. Oh, how I know. Sigh.

Good luck.

HAHAHA I love it when you start talking nonsense. :D

It's harder to string together really good-sounding gibberish than it should be!

I know! Doesn't it just feel like Friday? I've been confused all day!!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

It did, and today SUCKED. It was like working on a Saturday. :(

*hugs* I hope you get some sleeps soon.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

I will! I vow it! I just need to relax... *deep breaths*

You're still doing NaNo so that's good! No focusing on the not so good.

YOU WATCH NINJA WARRIOR? OMG I love that show. I haven't watched 19 yet, it's on my DVR.

I haven't written in forever, though! I keep thinking I *should* write, and just don't feel motivated. But maybe, Thanksgiving, after the basement is back together I'll feel more motivated and I'll have time to write. Last year I did 26,000 words in three days, if I have to do it again I probably will. But writing non-linearly is harder than I thought it would be!

Ninja Warrior is awesome! Enjoy season 19, it's gonna be a long wait for the next one. :(
