Out of Order

My life these last few weeks has come out of order. If anything this blog shows it. I blame my sleep schedule.

This site is something I work on when I’ve done what I’ve need to do. If I’m not completing my real life duties, I don’t write. It’s not that things are bad, in fact, quite the opposite, but I can feel that if I don’t work to put things back the way they should, things will go south.

So. This is what I’m going to do, because I’m not currently doing it (In no particular order).

  • Go to *bed* every night by midnight. Preferably.
  • Wake up every weekday at 6:45, regardless of whether or not I’m going tos hower in the morning.
  • Wake up every weekend at 10:30, and drink a caffinated beverage. Tea.
  • Relax when I get home from school. Do not eat. Do not sleep. Do not use the computer.
  • Talk to each of my teachers. Discover my current acadedmic standing. Dicuss how I can improve it, whether or not I have an “A”
  • Find a new hobby. Computer programming and origami are too tedious and require special tools.
  • Hang out with family more. Mom needs help, Dad need help, Sisters need help, Brother needs help.
  • Clean my room. A happy enviroment creates a happy person.
  • Stop drinking pop, coffee, excessive amounts of juice.
  • Stop being judgemental in human relations. Iwas good at this at the beginning of the year, I feel myself starting to slip back.
  • Collect more bottles for bottle collection.
  • Clean up desk
  • Clean up the comment spam on this blog.

For those who have experienced a disarrayed life, any suggestions?

Publishing

I’ve decided I’m really interested in paginated media: Books.

They have an incredible interactivity that computer just don’t have. You can study them. You can look of them up close, a page at a time. They organize their content into finite chunks, creating a wonderful creative faculty for a designer. Unlike a webpage, a reader can only take into two pages at a time, at most. A clever designer knows this, and can harness it to better his or her work.

When you pick up a book, you know it has work put into it. The author, editor, designer, printer, publisher, and book seller or library have all put energy in presenting a product to you. Each one of those people have exact skills and apply them to the whole process. It’s also a barrier to entry. Not everyone can make a book.

That’s maybe my attraction to it. I want to prove that I can create something worthy of physical presence, not just thrown up on webserver somewhere and then stuck onto your screen.

The Lakeside Highschool Gay Straight Alliance is going through some drama with the administration of the school. Too tired tonite to provide an extended narrative. Will update as updates occur.
