I'm here on the Board, I'm chatting with Iximaz and Darkotas in Google Hangouts, I'm trying to figure out something to write, and I'm also hanging around the Monster Girl Encyclopedia chat.
At the time of reading this post, what are you doing (or watching, reading, listening to, daydreaming etc.)?
Right now, I am playing my 120th hour of the Binding of Isaac (which is totally normal behavior, I am assured) and zoning out yesterday's YouTube posts. A shower is also in my near future.
What about all of you?
I have just woke up. I'm in my sleeping clothes and about to go make some breakfast. Hopefully before my brother wakes up and asks me to make something for him as well.
THEN I WILL BE DRAGON HUNTING.
I begin the day in pretty much the same way.
I didn't expect this silly question to get as much response as it did. Thank you all very much for for sharing!
Now, I have another question, just for the fun of it.
Imagine yourself a year from now, on this day, at this hour, answering the same question. What would your answer look like? In a year it might be interesting to revisit this question and see how close we all came.
It's early. I'm laying in bed with my laptop. There isn't much reason to be awake yet. That's never stopped me, of course.
A Word document is up on my screen, but my sluggish mind doesn't seem to want to fill it up with anything. The Steam window is looking awfully inviting right about now.
"Our mission is to kill people and break things."
A July, spacing out: Huh, that sounds familiar. Oh, right, the PPC.
And thinking this is WAY too unruly for a 300-level class.
the same, but with less sleep deprivation and more PPC stories being churned out.
Well, my answer hasn't changed from yesterday; just woke up, and am munching cheerios. I have to scram for class in twenty minutes.
...come to think of that, I should get dressed.
It was still dark outside, and as such, Iximaz was still asleep. She briefly woke, once, when her roommate slipped out the door, but she wouldn't remember this later.
She yawned and rolled over, snuggling further under the covers. It was good to not have classes on Fridays.
I can dream, okay? :P
I'll either be working again or something else has happened.
I figure I'll be studying. Woot for Law.
Did you get into Law School, Des? I am currently already in it myself. *high-fives*
Might be interesting to argue philosophy of law with you when you eventually study it.
Because my Bagruyot were so-so.
*high-fives*
I'm looking forward to studying Law. It looks mighty interesting.
Obviously your juridical system probably is very different from mine, but my own experience with studying Law has been pretty interesting. I am actually studying the Civil and Penal Codes this semester. First semester was mostly just laying the groundwork and theory.
Do you have any idea of what role you want to take once you graduate? I am leaning towards civil attorney myself.
Being a lawyer doesn't suit me; too much intrigue and dishonesty. I'd rather find some area of expertise that isn't widely known but is in demand (like, IDK, international law) and become a consultant.
I hear international law is in great demand, so that probably would be a good field to work.
I am still on my first year, so it is likely my inclinations will shift greatly towards the end of the course. Still have 4 and a half years to go after all.
Probably will depend on finding out just how much corrupt the system really is. Though considering how much I already know about how corrupt my country is in general...
Me, I have four years ahead of me. Probably more since I'm planning on an LLM abroad (preferably in Oxbridge).
Just do me a favor and look up Petrobras Scandal sometime to see what I mean.
That sounds like a nice plan.
Then again, look at this page and you'll understand why I dislike politics.
That is also really nasty. I can definitely see why that is.
It should speak to how bad the situation is here that I seriously expected to find a similar list for Brazilian politicians. Since, surprisingly, there is not one yet, I will just have to go with this instead.
That's very nasty indeed.
I literally just finished about two hours worth of chem homework and now I'm debating on whether or not I actually want to apply to Dartmouth. I just want to fast-forward to February-ish when the sports season nothing counts any more for school and I can relax aughhhh. . .
I'm just really sitting here, Archer going on my second monitor. Just doing whatever random action comes to mind. Like fiddling with the counterweights in my mouse. I need a life.
...also known as homework. A shower and hopefully the beginnings of a fifth game of Dishonored is in my near future.
Monitoring 3 chat rooms, including the VSTF feed for Wikia, and trying to write a chatbot framework.
Except feeling lethargic, faintly ill, and putting off homeworkfor as long as I can.
After a day in the army. Almost done with that...
So, chatting with people, looking at stuff. I have a cuppa Viceroy Des Indes, which is nice.
Since I work a somewhat terrible job from home, this "getting ready" consists of opening all the necessary computer programs, grabbing some snacks/caffeinated drinks, and looking for other work.
I spent my morning watching episodes of "Gotham," which just came out on Netflix. I'm enjoying it more then I thought I would.
...with the DOOM soundtrack playing in the background.
Really early, I might add. Currently having breakfast. Next thing is taking my two-year-old to day care. Maybe he'll gain a few levels from all the walking I'm going to do today...
Daycare and leveling up from walking instantly made me think of the pet mechanic in DR2, that's all.
Put Pokémon in the Day Care, they level up. It's not just a breeding ground, y'know.
This probably explains a fair bit.
In a second I'm going to open up my DM Guide (on the last chapter, woot!) and continue my study of DM-eryness. It's quite fun!

And listening to Radio 4 Extra while putting off cleaning the litter tray.
I'm here on the Board, I'm chatting with Iximaz and Darkotas in Google Hangouts, I'm trying to figure out something to write, and I'm also hanging around the Monster Girl Encyclopedia chat.
and now I'm trying to figure out what to do next.
Eh, avoiding studying for complex it is. And avoiding applying for internships.
What exactly is happening here?
Scrubbing rust off gripes that will probably be super rusty again within a week.
Clearing a clearing full of dead leaves (and a pretty large one, too!) when you know that, by tomorrow, it'd be full of leaves again.
I decided not to complete the review packet my teacher gave me. I just finished my book and was starting to get bored.
Her name is Christy, she's a pretty little calico, and she is sitting on my lap and purring.
In a few minutes, I'll have to displace her so that I can get up and go to class. Staying here and continuing to stroke the very, very soft fur right between her ears is very tempting, though. :)
It's a fine balance to achieve :)
Specifically on the 'doing work' front, I am producing a new range of standard drawings for one of my company's products. And cheating massively by basing the new standard on an existing non-standard design that has a lot of the features I want; I've been able to produce some of these 'new' drawings by just renaming old ones, which has significantly cut down on the time it'll take me, which has in turn allowed me to...
On the 'avoiding work' front, spending my time occasionally checking the Board, and e-mailing one of my friends about the made up rules for faster than light travel in a sci-fi setting I'm working on.

This month, Thursday is the only day I don't have a day shift; only a night shift at 5:30. (No, I haven't had a full day off all month. We're understaffed, okay?) I'm going to spend the day keeping a friend company, so I've been getting ready to go since I woke up. I just made dinner for my night shift (cheese melted between two tortillas), and once that cools, I'll pack it in my lunch box. I'm about to shave. Oh, also, I've had my DS in my hand this entire time, biking back and forth in a Pokémon game so I can max out my Kingdra's happiness and teach it Draco Meteor.
—doctorlit has to know how to multitask if he's to get any hobby work done at all this month
I'm a little chilly, because autumn in Alaska has arrived. Yay. Other then that... Not much.
I've just answered an email about a sales specification for an unusual dilution of sulfuric acid, I've got another one about a certificate of analysis for something that goes in deodorants, and I just interrupted that to answer one from Kaitlyn (which was much nicer, let me assure you).
And then I'll be prodding at a database of chemicals. And they say adulthood is dull...
hS
Because hey, I need to take control of my life SOMEday, don't I?
A bowl of cereal, if you want to know. I just got out of the shower and fed my cat, and in about half an hour, I'm off to work.

No seriously, I'll have to work... After I checked up on Gabrielle Aplin's new album.
Poured a bowl of cheerios and am glad I don't have class until the afternoon. :)
Checking my webcomics and Facebooks and stuff.

Also, editing my second mission. Oh boy, this one's a kicker :D
