Both of us need it like Hell
1. I slept ten hours last night. I think the last time I got more than six was in September. Today I'm kind of reclusive and slightly burnt out, but still rather happy. I may go out anyway, just to see what happens. There's sunlight.

ratatosk has taken to referring to my persistent belief that other people automatically find me boring/brain-dead/annoying as "Tiny Wittgenstein on My Shoulder." He is apparently modeled after Tiny Carl Jung from Dresden Codak (which I still haven't read), but I flashed on the personality sprites from Narbonic. I'm not really sure what I could promise anyone who felt like drawing me gloomy, winged chibi Wittgenstein—probably in his leather jacket, looking glumly agonized—other than a profound apology, but it seems to be a concept I really like. Also easier to integrate into a conversation than yelling "Wittgenstein!" every time I notice I'm apologizing inappropriately, because that way lies Basingstoke.
3. Speaking of which: Is that descending figure that opens the overture to Ruddigore (1887) a deliberate callback to Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre (1874), or is it just me? I was humming the one when I realized I'd switched to the other.
4. I have been eating the hell out of the durian candiessharhaun brought back from Singapore—I got a package from him after The Lighthouse, when he found out I actually liked them. They were delicious and short-lived. I have no idea where I am supposed to get more.
5. I hope someone at Badass of the Week sees this obituary. "To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed a mink farm, one of the few truly dull entries on his otherwise crackling résumé, which lately included a career as a professional gambler."
I really did have a spectacular weekend. I had a good week. I think the week before that was pretty good, too. (Before that was the hell-cold.) It really feels like I shouldn't sneeze or I'll break my life, but I am enjoying myself.

I'm glad for your getting sleep and feeling rather happy. I hope the sunlight was pleasant.

If only I could draw, I'd be drawing Tiny Shoulder Wittgenstein. Alas, the only things I can draw are cartoonish horses, dogs, and other critters.

I hope you can find more durian candies. I might have to look for some, myself--the idea is interesting.

Agreed, he definitely deserves a turn as Badass of the Week. The bit about apprenticing as a pirate is particularly interesting, although that may be because, despite the inappropriateness of the same when compared with real-life piracy, I'm having Gilbert and Sullivan-esque thoughts.
I'm very happy that you're enjoying yourself. I hope today has also been a good day, or at least an okay one.

I really like durian, or at least the one variety of durian that

I think so does everyone who reads that line. It's impressive.

There's always the hope someone will rip it to YouTube! I have been watching fragments of Square One TV the same way for years.
