What to say, what to say?

I saw a Watchmen smiley face on a pole on the way in to work this morning. Made me smile for a moment.

I had an argument with a friend last night as a Mod of the on-line RP community I'm most active in. I don't react well to this sort of thing and reacting less and less well to it over time. I'm internalizing my reaction more and more - which is causing some interesting issues with physical reactions to stress. It makes me wonder if I should still be doing this. Maybe it is time to step away from being a Mod. If I'm going to go to sleep thinking about these things, dreaming about them, waking up thinking about them and pretty much edgy because of them.... Food for thought.

There have been a few people let go around here recently. No layoffs or anything like that but it still makes people a little nervous. Especially since it is review time.

I'm really enjoying my Japanese class. It takes up time and is making me feel a little worn out but I'm really enjoying it. I'm going to want to continue on with learning - provided I'm able to actualy finish memorizing my hirigana. There are a few that I just can't seem to nail down, which is frustrating.

Griffey is coming back to Seattle for one more year. I would like to see him play again wearing Mariner's colors. I'm not expecting miricles out of the guy but man, it would be nice to suck less. And the Sounders season starts in a little less than a month!

As soon as Matt leaves, I'm going to be revising my gym schedule. Sitting down with Kris and talking about how we want to go forward. If anyone has any recommendations for a home yoga or pilates DVD, I'd be interested in hearing them.

If you have a DS, you should invest in 'My Japanese Coach.' It really helps with memorizing hiragana and katagana. :)

I don't but you're not the first person to mention this. It is worth thinking about.

It really is great. I wish I had had it when I was taking Japanese classes. Now I'm using it to brush up and remember the stuff I had forgotten, and so far it's been extremely helpful. ^^

That reminds me...
I need to get some DVD-R discs.

[fireballof3.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend the not-being-a-mod-anymore thing. I stepped down as a mod from mansion some weeks ago. Since then, its like I've let out a breath that I never really know I was holding. Very relaxing.

And it gives me more time to think of appropriate levels of EVIL.

Hrmmmmm. It... does sound liberating... I... I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

I would like EVIL. The gang war is getting underway and it would fit pretty well.

No game is worth your health. If the stress is causing you physical issues, I would say it's definitely time to think quite seriously about stepping down as a mod. These games should be fun retreats that you enjoy, like a mini-vacation. Not another job for you to slog through and be unhappy with.

In the mean time I have hugs to help deal with stress.

I like hugs. They are keen and good.
