Ba-Dum.
I'm short on titles, heh.

Erm... I can't say I've done much today. I've certainly done less than I was hoping, although it's probably a good thing that I had to uninstall Half-Life, Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I wanted this High Definition pack thingy on it (that I'd never noticed before), but for some reason it wouldn't apply itself to Opposing Force, so I tried reinstalling it. Problem is, it reinstalled itself as Opposing Force Multiplayer and subsequently wouldn't work on what I wanted it to. Bastard thing >.> Uninstalling it frequently didn't have any effect either, so I'm hoping it'll calm down once it's... um... calmed down.

A friend of mine bought me a book on Arms and Armour yesterday ^_____^ It's fantastic to look at and has given me a final choice on certain Nazreal character's weapons. I are pleased when I make more progress, hehe.

Mum says I've been getting much better with driving my own car, but to be frank she does stress me out a bit when she's telling me how to maneouvre. I do appreciate her helping me but there's something about it that just irks me. And I shouldn't be irked, because it's not good.

Ah, another day off tomorrow *grins happily* I'm looking forward to relaxing all day. It took me over three hours to get to sleep last night and I can't figure out why. I guess it's just one of those things that happens every now and then; I couldn't be bothered to eat anything for supper, which probably confounded things a bit... I hope I'll get more sleep tonight, though. I don't really like waking up at 10 in the morning, heh. As much as I like sleeping, I don't want to miss out on my day.

Snug as a Bug in a Rug
I do love my bed ^____^ It's a pretty expensive mattress, because the old one had been in for about 20 years and was barely holding my weight. If it's something like a bed that you seep on pretty much every night, I think it's worth getting something really nice, because sleep is so important to your general well-being. If you can't sleep, you can't carry on as well as you should.

When I first got it, it was a lot firmer than what I was used to: something akin to a big sponge with springs in it. But it was so nice... And still is, although it's softened a bit. After a long day's re-enacting it's still as comfortable as ever to collapse onto, just pulling the covers over your shoulders and drifting off to sleep.

Making the bed is a bit of a pain, though- the mattress is bloody heavy and needs to be rotated periodically so the wear's even and it doesn't deform. But since I change the bed so late at night I'm the only one around to do it, and at midnight the last thing you really want to have to do is pick up and move something like that, especially if it goes about knocking over the rest of your furniture in the process.

I could do with some more bedclothes, actually. My favourite set is a black, grey and gold set in a sort of gothic marble/stone-effect. Looks lovely when the room's clean, and matches my tiger blanket very nicely ^_^. The other set I have is a... sort of isometric cream, red gold and blue design all set about in diamonds and odd gemetric shapes. I much prefer my sister's purple and green arty thing, or my mum's Japanese sheets.

Perhaps I should raid some mail-order catalogues so I can sleep with renewed style, hehe.

What are your bedsheets like (if I may be so bold as to ask ^_~)?
