I stayed up all night last night. I slept about 40 minutes. The project I was working on isn't due until tomorrow, but I get really stressed out trying to do something the night before. It's weird. I would have had enough time and I would have been this tired tomorrow, but I would have been in far worse spirits. I guess I don't like time pressure? Anyways, I can go to sleep now and know that my project is ready to be turned in tomorrow :)
So, as usual, I met Sofia for coffee and crepes this morning (we have gotten in the habit of getting breakfast every tuesday). Today her friend Jacinto came along. He's too hilarious. He doesn't speak any English, but he loves making fun of how Americans talk. It's quite entertaining. I just turn around and make fun of how the Murcians (like him) talk. He coincidentally wanted to spend the day studying at Espinardo, so he gave me a ride there! It was awesome. I went to class (lame and pointless). At 2pm, I met for lunch with my friend Carmen. She just found out she's studying in the US next year so she wanted to practice English with me. It was very cute / fun. Then we went to class and worked on our drawings. From class, I went to the Psychology building to finish an evaluation for a group project. Afterwards, Jacinto picked me up and drove me back to Murcia (yeah! I got out of taking the bus both ways!) Then we met up with Sofia and we walked to Madre de Dios where a large group of us got dinner together. Our friend, Sarah's parents are in town so we all went out to eat to celebrate. Then I left early so I could put some final touches on my sociology project and NOW I'M OFF TO BED.
I got a splinter this afternoon. I didn't have tweezers. Stupid piece of wood.

Mean people sawed down a tree, and this was the pattern that was left.
I've been told this looks like a cityscape, and I have to agree.

Little trick I learned from the I.D. Woodshop Tech Mark. To prevent the backside of plywood from splintering, run masking tape down the center of your cut so it wraps all the way around front and back.. A sharp blade also helps but this never fails to make a nice clean cut on both sides.
I come for the campaign but stay for the co-op. DoctorSparkles and I at Ohayocon 07 showing off our love of Splinter Cell. He's the one with red light bulbs. Ironic, huh?
I was running my hands along the floor to pick up a sock in my laundry room when I felt like my finger got snagged on a nail or a tack. I didn't find one, but my finger was bleeding so I went to wash it off. It still stun so I looked deeper and saw a tiny glimmer.
Went to get a magnifying glass and my tweezers and sure enough, I had a glass splinter embedded in my finger. Luckily I was able to get it out whole and it's already almost healed.

Hamato was given the nickname "Splinter" by his students, due to his proficiency at breaking wooden boards. On one occasion Donatello was able to use the remnants of the ooze that transformed them to restore Yoshi's human self, but the process was only temporary and soon wore off; however, Splinter, having seen how humans could treat each other at times, concluded that he preferred his new state, particularly due to the relationship he had with his students. Master Splinter doesn't hold a father/son relationship with the turtles, as the Mirage Studios, Movie, and 2k3 stories suggested, but more of a teacher/student bond. This version of Splinter never calls the turtles "my sons" and the turtles never call him father. In fact in Turtles Forever the old toon turtles are surprised when the 4kids turtles call Splinter father. However, in an episode called The Old Switcheroo, Splinter showed a glimpse of fatherly concern for Leonardo when he's slightly injured by one of Donatello's contraptions. Splinter also mentions in the series (episode; Snakes Alive!) that Leonardo is his most gifted student. Master Splinter even gets the chance to be human once more in an episode Splinter No More, but realizes he much more prefers being with the turtles. Master Splinter is always there for the turtles to give a wise/ungrasping quote or speech to try to ease the turtles' troubles. He'll also show a little ninja action just in the nick of time when it seems the turtles are in for impending doom that is inescapable.
Ducks in the cove don't mind the cold, or at least, they don't complain to me. Every time I see them, I think about the notion of being placid on the surface, paddling like mad underneath. There's no purer metaphor for my lifelong state of mind. Way too much has always been happening in my head. That might seem beneficial for someone like me with a creative career, and it certainly does keep me from running short on thoughts. But the buzz carries on beyond the hour a day I actually spend writing. When I was young, I remember seeing an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". In it, an android called Data gets romantically involved with a human character, despite the fact that he has no emotions. After they kiss, she asks him: "What were you just thinking?" He describes a whole litany of things on his mind, only one of which was her. That sense of splintered focus has always been familiar to me. Not a wandering mind – more like being fully present in multiple thoughts at once. I can't get anything done, or think anything through, unless I'm multi-tasking.
