I thought I spent a lot of time in the basement tonight, putting together more ham radio stuff, but I realized that I was limited by my “need” to watch Joey and Dragon Ball: GT. So I thought I was slowing down on the building pace but I only put in a couple of hours. (In the past, I represented the US in an International electronic assembly competition. I don’t remember how well I did, and think I might have come in dead last, but I do know I didn’t win.) In any case, I was good at this at some point, good enough to be sent to Linz, Austria.

Ah, well. Now that I think of it, I was a day late and a dollar short there, too.

Time to try to get some sleep. There’s a Japanese saying about springtime and sleeping like you were dead or something (which doesn’t sound all that great when you say it in translation) but I’ve been having troubles getting up lately. This morning I woke up in a panic, thinking it was mid-morning and I was late for work. My alarm hadn’t gone off yet. In any case, I’m probably going to end up screwing around until late and then drag into work. It’s just the way things are.
