11:15 pm Saturday 21st August 1999

Good heavens I'm tired. I woke up at about 8:30 am after some weird dreams, and had breakfast. Later I wandered down to the dining hall and had some extra breakfast down there. I went to the lab about 10:00 am to turn off a reaction and then went into town. After cycling around to enjoy Saturday I bought the paper and also a new CD "Big Beat Elite Complete" which is rather hip-hopish, but is not too bad. There are a few songs which I don't like that much, but it was a 3 CD set for $35 so it wasn't too bad.
Came home, kicked around a bit, and then about 2:00 pm I went to the lab. Worked up a few reactions and after that I called Susan's place to speak to Jules and it seemed everybody was there so I cycled over. Earlier I had taken out my studs and had my new drop earrings in. Red, Astro, Bridget, Susan, Jules, later Lloyd and myself were there. It wasn't a bad afternoon, much of it was spent discussing what would go into the "Tart-bag" for those unplanned overnight excursions.
I came down to my room to veg out at about 5:00 pm, and then I headed back to the lab at about 6:00 pm. I worked at the lab until abut 9:30 pm, and by the time I got back I was feeling pretty wasted. I bought some lollies and shared them with Susan and Jules. Watched Susan play Civilization II for a while, cooked some cheap pasta and now I'm writing this. I'm trying to force myself to stay awake for a few more hours. Getting up early is really fucking up my body clock and so I want to be looking at waking up at about 10:00 am like I used to.
I tried to install ICQ on my compute tonight. I got most of the way, but needed my Socks proxy password which of course I don't have. Never mind, tomorrow I will hunt down Mr. Collis and get it. Hopefully having ICQ might make me a bit more accessible to people. Unlikely I admit, but hey one never knows.
