Lazy: Most Half-Arsed of the Dwarves

Ugh… I have things to do - things I enjoy doing - and yet have no will to do them…

Boo, hiss, and so on.

On the plus side, Dan (the Romanian one) is heading over tomorrow reasonably early, which means a) I have to get up and b) part of the stuff I have to do will get done.

Also, Dan (the Jewish one) is in Norwich, which gives me added impetus to get the Orchid Fixation stuff sorted.  I’ve been slacking off on it because I’ve just got ‘Sub’ and ‘Dom’ left - which means copying over all my settings and then editing and mixing a 14 minute project with over 100 tracks.  It also means sorting through vocal tracks to pick the best takes of each bit, which I hate.  Hopefully it shouldn’t take that long - they’re actually the simplest tracks guitar and vocal-wise (not many harmonies), so it should be pretty simple.  I still think I need to add some growly vocals to ‘Dom’ though, which I won’t be able to do until Tuesday (at least).

And on that subject - I am in need of a model… I’ve got my ideas for the OF artwork sorted (more or less), but it requires implied nude photographs; which means the grrlie will have to be nekkid in front of me; which narrows down the chances of me getting a friend to do it, and makes getting a TFP shoot sorted for it unlikely (and even if I could, I have no idea how long it might take to arrange, and I need them done ASAP really).  I also ideally want the photos to be tattoo free, which narrows down the chances amongst my friends, silly trendwhores that they all are…

Fingers crossed one of my lovely grrlie friends will be up for it, and will be suitably lacking in ink.  And clothing.

I’ve started watching Dexter - I say started, I’ve actually watched the first two seasons almost back-to-back.  It’s the best series I’ve seen for ages, I’m really annoyed I didn’t watch it when it started on ITV2.  It’s very well written, brilliantly acted (not just by the guy playing Dexter but by the whole cast - Dexter’s sister in particular is fantastic, and oddly, in the real world she’s married to Dexter), and the plot is absolutely top class.  It’s perfectly paced (which very few hour-long serialized dramas are), and constantly throwing you off guard - every time you think you’re a step ahead of the game, something is revealed that show you you’re actually half a step behind.

The alarming thing though, is just how much I associate myself with Dexter - a character who has a dissociative personality disorder.  Go figure.  It’s kind of reassuring though, as it implies the writing (and the series of books it’s based on) are well researched.  It’s actually made me rethink certain events in my life, with somewhat surprising outcomes.  See, TV is good really.  Even if I’m not watching it on TV.

In other news:  My insomnia is sorting itself out.  Not like the normal month-long reprieves I get every now and then, where my brain suddenly adopts a normal sleep/wake cycle.  Instead, I’ve simply regressed to a child-like state whereby I am almost constantly sleepy (as opposed to tired - I’m fairly certain only people with insomia will understand just how different those things are).  I’m struggling to concentrate on anything for very long, and doing pretty much anything results in me napping.  It’s weird and new and a bit scary and very strange and oddly… nice.

And on that note, I’m off to bed.  Go me!
