random thoughts.
Awake-ish
So, I can't sleep, and I'm not sure why. Not really sure why I'm putting that here either. Mostly just to get words out, I guess; and Ry is sleeping/annoying with me for tossing and turning while he's trying to sleep.

I honestly don't know what's wrong. I didn't just watch a scary movie. I don't feel sick. I haven't had caffeine since dinner, which was 6 hours ago now. I don't even really have anything weighing on my mind. It's so weird.

/sigh

Ah well, I guess I'll just be extra tired in the morning.


Busy, busy, busy...
So I feel like I never stop moving and may need to invest in some energy drinks or something. We spent this week cleaning the apartment from top to bottom because my parents were coming down today. This after we were up at my cousin's graduation party all day yesterday.

This is my schedule for the next few weeks:

May 12-14: Incorporate 3 sets of edits into user manual and write a separate document explaining why I chose certain edits over others.

May 15-17: Prepare for/take my final exam.

May 16-18: CRO (Larp Camping trip)

May 19: Begin next class - all sorts of crazyness until June 27.

May 20: My birthday. I don't even know if I'll get to do anything fun because of my next class starting the day before.

May 24: Bachelorette party for my friend. Don't know if I'm going to be able to go or not because of class, but I have her penciled in.

May 31: Baby shower for my cousin's fiance.

June 1: Wedding for 2 of my friends. (See bachelorette party on the 24th.)

June 12-14: Father's day weekend and likely double birthday party for my sister-in-law and step-mother-in-law

June 19-21: My brother's bday party, Larp weekend (likely on make it to one day, if at all), and MLP Faire in Providence.

June 22-27: Finish up class.

Breathe for at least a week.

I swear I just feel like I'm running back and forth not getting anywhere. Meanwhile I have to be looking for another job because I'm getting a bad feeling about my current one. I hate being a contractor.

If anyone who works for Gaia happens to read this, you don't happen to have any type of need for a Tech Writer, do you? sweatdrop


Making Progress
Well, class is progressing very well. It's kept me way busier than even I thought it would, so I haven't had a ton of time to hang around and chat in threads, but I've been trying to keep up.

We're nearing the end of this first class. Just two weeks to go. The first formal draft of my manual turned out to be 45 pages long. O.o That's twice the length of my original estimate.

This week we're doing peer editing, so it should be interesting to see what my classmates think of my paper. I've got a 12-pager and a 30-pager to edit. That makes me feel a little better because at least I know I'm not the only long-winded one.


Evolving items
I don't think I understand how these work. Or at least, I don't understand why the different gerations vary so much in price.

I was reading about them on tektek and I thought I understood. It seemed like until you complete all 9 phases you can only wear them in the phase they are currently in and that whenever it progresses to a new phase that "gen" is released in the store, replacing the old one. Tektek makes it seem like this will stay on the same evolution schedule as before, and will still have all 9 phases available when evolution is complete, you just started on a different step.

If that's true, then why is Fausto's Bottle a different price than Fausto's Bottle 6th Gen? Am I wrong about how they work? I'm very confused.


Price Guide?
It's so weird trying to price stuff now that I'm back. Nothing seems to reflect accurately. I know there used to be half a dozen price guides out there. Are there any that are still kept relatively current?

I had been thinking about trying to get back some of the stuff I sold to get my bunnies (without selling the bunnies of course), but I'm trying to assess the damage. My current estimate puts me in the realm of 40 million, but I'm having such a hard time finding prices I don't know how accurate that is.

Any guesses?
