Thus far, I have just been slacking off and relaxing so far tonight. Played some video games, chatted with people online, and now I am watching TV - the season premiere of Storm Chasers to be exact. BAFIRC is still churning in the back of my mind, but I am just relaxing a bit for now.

Speaking of Storm Chasers, I would love to be a storm chaser one day. Maybe when I semi-retire I’ll be able to make if work.

Another day has come and gone without working on BAFIRC. Today, I caught up on some sleep and wrote a 5 page paper that’s due tomorrow.

I’ll get back to BAFIRC at some point, but for tonight, I’m just going to relax and enjoy the rest of my night.

I didn’t end up working on BAFIRC very much today. I got distracted doing some gaming, chatting, visiting with family for a while, eating dinner, etc. Life just got in the way today. I’m not even sure that I will get around to doing any work on it tomorrow.

I have a slight backlog of work that needs to get done. I have a paper to write for a class, and I have some other homework to do for a couple of classes (that I may as well tackle tomorrow, given that I have the day off due to Columbus Day). I’ve got a few random personal things to do (mailing out a rebate, cleaning up my desk, etc.) as well. So yeah, I intend on beginning tackling these things as soon as I get up, but you know how that goes, I’ll probably waste half of the day distracted and end up not getting everything done. But, maybe I’ll hit the jackpot of focus, and actually do everything - we’ll see.

Beyond that, I’ll probably play some Halo Reach or something to relax and unwind a bit. I’m not sure if I’m going to feel like coding (that, and I’m still working on a good design for the plugin system - usually if I let these sorts of things simmer in the back of my mind for a few days, I’ll come up with a solution I like).

Anyhow, that’s that. I’m going to head to bed and attempt to get up semi-early to begin tackling everything I need to do.

Why do I always do this? I have a 6 page paper due tomorrow night at 9PM, and as usual, I keep putting it off as long as humanly possible. I meant to start working on it yesterday. But I didn’t. “Oh, just one more game of UT.” “Oh, just gotta get <x> done first.” Blah, blah, blah. This morning I get up. “I’ll start it at noon.” 12 rolls around and I find something else to do. I end up playing UT for several hours, and where does it leave me? At 6pm, still having done no more than five minutes worth of work on the paper.

And now, I have just finished playing UT, and an email message that someone has started following me has brought me to tumblr. So, what am I doing instead of writing this paper? I’m writing crap on tumblr.

I intend to go start on the paper now. But I can almost guarantee that I won’t for a couple more hours. My parents are almost here, with dinner, so I’m sure that will eat up a couple more hours. Ah, well, nobody will be home for most of tomorrow - maybe I’ll actually get work done then, as long as I can keep myself away from all distractions.

I’ve played this whole blog game many times before. I always start up a blog with the best intentions of keeping it up to date and, you know, actually posting on it, but I never actually get around to doing so.

Well, this time, I’m determined to make it work. I fully intend on putting forth my best effort to post random crap here whenever I think of it. The Android tumblr app on my phone should help me out with that as well. I’ll see where this experiment leads me - who knows, maybe I’ll actually be successful at this endeavor this time around. Only time will tell!
