Hey all -- hope you had a great weekend. Mine, as usual, was restful but unproductive, as I didn't get through even a third of the things that I'd hoped to do. It kinda sucks! I should be writing short stories and plays and Scary-Crayon articles, drawing, and even working on that bleeding novel of mine (or one of the other books I mean to write...), but these weeks leave me so exhausted and drained that all I want to do on the weekends is lay around and sleep. I did, however, get some work done for SC pieces, so it wasn't a total loss, and I watched a lot of GTO ("Great Teacher Onizuka") episodes. Good stuff.

Anyway, I imagine I'll feel less exhausted and have more time to do things when I'm not working this job anymore and therefore don't have to wake up at 4-5 AM and spend upwards of four hours a day riding buses. With any luck, I'll hear back about that interview today or tomorrow and can plot my next move. I'm hoping that this'll be my last full week here, since I'd be starting sometime next week if I got that local job -- but if I don't get it, I think I'll put in my resignation here anyway and get ready to make that move to NYC. I'm starting to rethink it, though -- not because I like NYC any less after my recent visit, but because I'm not sure what I'd do or if I could even find employment at all once I got there. I don't know. And I'm bloody tired -- starting to feel like going to sleep and not waking up is the best course of action after all.

Wait, starting? I always feel that way. Oyasuminasai, minna-san.
