In which I make some lists of goals and ramble on about some other stuff, too.

Smash Brothers is an exciting experience. No, seriously, it is. Just check out this comic, for example. Exciting. Also, I love all of Pikachu’s expressions during the whole thing. Makes me want to use them as avatars.
Anyway, I’m probably going to be playing that with the Talking Tyrants tonight, so I’ll enjoy myself.

So, it’s Easter. Yay! I guess! It’s a day before my birthday! Yay! I guess! I’ll probably write a depressing post tomorrow about how another year has gone by and I’ve accomplished nothing… except that I’m closer than ever to actually being done with school, which is huge… I have made progress this past year… and I can keep doing so. Hopefully. I just have to keep it together. I say that all the time, because my nervousness gets me so out of whack so often… Brer probably is right, it probably is something that’s past the point of normal and should be looked at by somebody… but eh, who knows.

And now, here are some goal lists.

Goals For This Week (By Day)
Monday: Make it to class, try to enjoy busy birthday, make it to work.
Tuesday: Make it to class, write at least half if not more of Shakespeare paper, lazily do research project while spending time with Brer.
Wednesday: Make it to class, critique poems during class as per usual, finish Shakespeare paper.
Thursday: Make it to class, write at least half if not more of other lit paper, make it to work.
Friday: Make it to class, finish other lit paper, laziness.

If I do everything in chunks and don’t let it overwhelm me all at once, I shouldn’t have much of a problem, I hope… I probably could wait till next week to finish up the other lit paper, but I should be good and do it this week, then I can spend extra amounts of time on my portfolio. Also, I think I have to give a presentation next week, which shouldn’t be too much work, but it would be nice to not have to do that and my paper at the same time, eh?
Oh, I guess I said “lists,” didn’t I?

Goals For My Next Ascension in KoL
1. Recover from being annoyed with this hardcore run by really enjoying the softcoreness of the run.
2. Perm… something. Either Tonuge of the Walrus/Otter (although that might be better for another Hardcore run, since it would make those runs less stressful in the future) or maybe Advanced Saucecrafting, so I could enjoy those potions and Milk of Magnesium.
3. Get the Tome of Transcendent Olfaction. I’m going to end this run just a handful of Lucre away, so it’s time to get that and start saving up for the puppy.
4. It’s time to enjoy the Astral Mushrooms and Tiny Bottles of Absinthe. They aren’t expensive, so I should buy a handful of each and get in there and get a full set of the equipment in each and enjoy the content therein. (Well, okay, they’re both more expensive than I thought, now that I check, but definitely not enough to keep me from doing them, especially when I can use guides to get me the items I want on the first try.)
5. Get two more Mr. A’s and pick up a Yuletide Troll and a Penguin Goodfella as birthday splurging gifts to myself, and do a 100% run with the Penguin equipped with the origami “gentlemen’s” magazine. (I’d use the Troll first, but I want to use the magazine, cause I haven’t yet, and the Troll already does ghuol-type stuff.)

There. Two lists. Whee. Now it’s plural.
Anyway, happy Easter. Eastar. Whatevs.
