Work week ends. Weekend begins.

Today was a moderately good day at work. (This week, I define "moderately good" as a day during which I have no bouts of crying urges, near breakdowns, or surges of inner turmoil.) I will survive.

My goal this weekend....

Well, it's tempting to make my goal for the weekend to avoid having any more inner crises. But really, I don't think that goal is any more realistic than last year's resolution #3. It would rely on factors outside my control; the only difference being that these factors now reside within myself, as opposed to the external world.

I would like to enjoy this weekend. I'd prefer to keep the time spent curled up in a ball shaking on the bed to a minimum. To that end, I plan to go see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon tonight. This time, I will leave early, so I can get a ticket to the movie I actually want to see.

As suggested by my temp therapist yesterday, I would like to get out in public as much as possible. Maybe take a stroll down Pearl Street (not to be confused with.... wait a sec! Where is Perl Street these days anyway? Does it even exist anymore?!? Perish the thought of the precious Perl Street disintegrating into the void!)

I'd also like to play some more of my Myth 2 game, do some reading (Lard knows I've got tons of dem books in my queue), and possibly do a little coding. The Collective vultures have been requesting Features, no less! Repeat after me: "If ya don't write da code, you can't have any features. How could ya have any features if ya don't write da code?"

:)

Actually, I'll probably write most, if not all of the code. When I feel like it. 'Cause even if other people contribute features, Bitscape's editorial pickiness typically compells him to perform significant modifications and rearrangements. Such is the way of things.

[Bitscape expunges the messages currently sitting in his inbox into the archive. Suddenly feels sad again. Lost, almost.]

That is a wound which has only begun to heal. It will take time.

I think I'll do a little gaming before I eat.
