Kava's Ramblings
Insights, Observations, Scenes, Thoughts, and other miscellenous and etcetera from the mind of an online nut...
Okay... so I'm a delinquent?
^-^;;
So um, I think a few people now owe me lashings or something. whee I distinctly remember promising to do an update with the clothing challenge this last week, and then failed to do so. ^^;;

There were some other things I failed to do as well... but I swear they -will- get done.

Meanwhile, I didn't have a busy weekend this last weekend (for which I'm thankful...), and it was rather restful. Well, mostly... it went something like this:

Friday night: Get home from work, settle in, feeling restless and like I need to work off some frustration and such... get one of my room mates to play ping pong with me. Then realize that one of the other room mates, who has already left for the weekend, failed to finish cleaning things up from the party they had the weekend before and that the living room is a mess and there is no room to pull out the ping pong table. stare Brood for a few minutes and then decide that if I can't play ping pong, I need to do -something- with this negative energy, so I proceeded to spend the next hour tidying up the living room, kitchen, and the upstairs guest room. domokun Well, at least the atmosphere was more relaxing then? By then I was rather tired, so I watched a DVD/played Lunar on my DS and went to sleep.

Saturday: Lazily wake up and play on the DS some more, fiddle around online with looking at various things but not really getting anything done. Told myself several times that I ought to work on this or that or the other, but lacked motivation, so I didn't do any of it. Was planning to take a walk, but the downpour dissuaded me from that, so I tested out the DS games I'd received that I'd ordered online, talked to some people on IM and started playing Animal Crossing. Eventually, got a phone call from a friend and decided to go to the store for Mayo and paper towels. (Yes... we were out of paper towels and I wanted tuna, so I needed Mayo. =P) Home, eat, play more DS, ping pong (finally! yay!), more DVD's, more avoiding anything that I 'should' be doing. Eventually, sleep.

Sunday: I swear I really planned to get some things done on Sunday. What distracted me here was mainly my website. >>;; See, I have a domain. Ktarian.com Well, I have three domains, actually. In any case, none of them currently have -anything- on them. ><; I've been meaning to rebuild my site/sites for nearly two years now and haven't managed to get anything done on them.

The first thing I had tried, about a year ago, was to get a working photo gallery going on my site so that I could display/catalog images. I failed to get it working. In fact, a programmer/developer friend of mine tried to help me with it.. they having already got it working on their own site, and they weren't able to make it work either.

My non-existant sites are really starting to bug me at this point, because I paid for the hosting and I'm currently using 0.6% of my available space and 0.1% of my available traffic. ><;;;

So, yesterday I finally went and tried it again. There was an upgrade available for the install, so I upgraded. It's still flawed... I can't access the plugin menu on the admin.. it comes up blank. ^^;; But... it DOES work other than that. This means I may finally be able to get up those screenshots from the Gaia Olympics event + con photos that have been sitting waiting forever. And... there was also more ping pong, more playing on the DS (paid for my original house in AC), another trip to the store (forgot something on Sat.), and a bit of reading. Eventually, of course, I slept.

Today! That brings us to this morning. I jumped right up when my alarm went off, got to work and punched in 5 minutes -before- 8am, and I'm probably far more cheerful than anyone has a right to be on a Monday morning. xD;; So although my weekend was rather delinquent and I didn't get some things done that I still need to do, it was at least restful. Today, I'm more ready to get some things done. I even put laundry in to wash before I ran off to work. x3 Whee~! Yay, it's Monday? User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings.

Doing panels for Fanime is a lot of work. gonk I hadn't ever intended to take over all of it, but I seem to be doing it all anyways. sweatdrop

I just keep wishing that I'd known several months ago some of the things that I know now so that I would have been better organized.

I spent nearly the entire night last night working on panels, but still didn't manage to completely catch up. I'll be working on them more tonight and tomorrow... probably more tomorrow because I have something else going on tonight that means I probably won't get a chance to work on panels much. @@;

Perhaps you can delegate some of the work, or assert, "My limit is X hours of volunteer time per week"?

Eh. It doesn't really work like that. If I don't take care of it, it may not get done. There's deadlines to meet because the schedule needs to be published, etc. The reason they brought me in to work on it to begin with is because the person they'd thought was going to do it kind of disappeared and they needed someone to pitch in since everyone else was already overloaded.

In any case, I kind of enjoy it. It's just more work than I was originally planning to do, and I'm thus not well prepared for it. So I gonk a lot and I know I'm making some mistakes, but I'm doing the best I can. whee
