Surely we should be able to tag music as “Christmas” and have our music players only play it for one hour on December 25th each year. Rudolph, I can’t even pretend to care about you. It’s May. Quit picking your nose and it will not be so red, sheesh.
Last week, Enzo (one of the two trouble-making cats who graciously allow me to sleep in their apartment) developed a schedule of waking me up at 4:34am. The first time, I just remembered looking at the clock and it was four-something in the morning. The next time, I saw that it was 4:34. The day after that, he did it again at the exact same time. After my brain solidified from the wild, goo-like state it takes during sleep, I felt like writing. I’ve always been most creatively inspired at early hours (2-4am is not uncommon), perhaps because the logical part of my brain that would be saying, “Go back to sleep, you idiot!” was actually sleeping, which left only the insane part to do the work. Anyway, the following is the result of that early morning. Beware that it’s extremely rough, saturated with cynicism, and jumping with ADD.
I stayed up far too late last night to be waking up to the sound of my alarm at four in the morning. I’ve never been able to just go to sleep earlier when I needed to wake up extra early. It’s a problem like misplaced eggs. You can spend a lot of time up front to fix things or you can wait a few days, when the situation really starts to stink, and then the solution presents itself.

I’ve mentioned a few times here and there that I am working on my own blogging software. I had actually hoped to be switched over to it by the middle of this month, but I’ve been working two jobs (and doing that crazy school thing), so I haven’t had as much free time as I’d like. Plus, I’ve been spending quite a bit of the free time that I do have on artistic ventures. Anyway, the reason I am writing my own software is because I haven’t been fully satisfied with any of the solutions I’ve tried. Right now, I am using WordPress, which is just not “doing it” for me anymore. These are various issues with WordPress that I have had. I either started using plugins or gave up on the issue.

These are just various errors that I’ve come across recently. I think all of these are excellent examples as to how NOT to show errors
Having to work with Django the past few weeks has been quite the… adventure. My prior experience has primarily been with PHP with only a little Python exposure, so I am largely learning the programming language and the framework at the same time. Today, I had a typical “what the heck is going on” moment and jumped into the Django documentation and then to other sites leading farther and farther from the original search. I stumbled across the opinion(s) of Guido van Rossum (Python’s creator and “Benevolent Dictator for Life”) about Django (a Python-based web framework) from 2006.
