I'm currently in my room, and the curtains are being replaced. At noon. During Ramadan. The sun is burning me, and I'm not even in Hell yet.

Also, I can't sleep because it's way too bright here, but that's neither here nor there.

Blindfolds help lots and can be improvised from many things, just a heads up. If one doesn't block the light, add layers.

I second this. I find curtains wanting and recently I started using a blindfold to sleep. Now all my woes arent due to the light but I AM sleeping better

I'm feeling more "alternative personality style" than usual these days. Friendship just feels like a drag, and I wish I could switch back to being generally known as kind and helpful but not someone you'd describe as a friend or confidant.

I might not be able to participate in an upcoming game jam as my laptop is starting to break down. I think I didn't quite connect the wifi antenna right one of the times I had disassembled it previously, and now it's come loose. The wifi will work for an amount of time, then declare that it can't reach the internet when all other devices can. I don't have the heart to take it apart again since it's such a huge pain in the ass, but I won't be able to replace it even with a lesser device for quite some time.

Cheapo USB wireless thing not an option? Remember being stuck with those for a long time, back in the day...

[itisnotlogical]

I mean I could, but I already have a cable (plugged into the Xbox) that I could use. I'll just have to sit in the living room to use the Internet, which isn't the worst thing in the world as I can do YouTube and stuff on my phone.

Either way, I looked up a software fix that tentatively seems to be working, but time will tell.

I won't prattle on, I'm just having another of my days where I'm exhausted, I'm tired, I feel sick and need rest, but I feel tortured and conflicted so relaxing seems nigh impossible. I took a short walk outside, and my thoughts always just naturally drift back to how these times alone don't mean shit and how I'd give anything for some real human company, and how I feel trapped in my head and my whole life and everything that goes on is just in my head, and how badly I want to live in reality; not in my head where I'm forced to live inside my head and parse through truly endless amounts of introspective bullshit and try to keep myself company with asinine personal conversations. Such a mental life just makes it feel like my whole life up to this point, and perhaps I fear the remainder of my life, will just be a giant fucking waste of time squandered on just thinking and not living.

That's my post for the day. A post where I introspectively bitch and complain about being introspective. Why do I continue to poison myself like this. What else can I do.

What game jam is coming up? I'm woefully out of touch with the community and need to start somewhere.

One thing that's been on my mind for the longest time, is that I just plain fucking hate computers and the internet. For however much this invention has advanced humanity and elevated the species way far above anything our ancestors could have dreamed of, for however much objective good it does for people on a day to day basis, there's a part of me that just feels we're worse off. That these glowing screens are making our lives worse. Atleast its existence has made my life worse, through the crushing dependence I have on it, all the time I've wasted on it, and how its usage has made me feel so spiritually debased. I guess you could just say computers haven't done any of that to me, but I've done that to myself; and that if they didn't exist I'd have just found something else to enable all my weaknesses and waste my own life. I can't say that's an incorrect speculation, and that I'm waxing nostalgic for an era I didn't live in, but that's what has been on my mind.

I blew off a commitment.  Granted it was a commitment I made yesterday, to a friend of a friend I don't know, to do free tech support.  But it still felt perversely good, and that obviously bothers me.  Particularly calling to lie about the reason.

The reason being... fuck I don't know, brain problems!?  Whatever, I rescheduled for pretty early tomorrow morning, serves me right.

I used to do this *all the time*, but I've gotten pretty good at forcing through it.

Aw dangit, I'm going to miss out on this one too! Is there a place that collects these game jams? I know Ludum isn't until October again and I'd like to cut my teeth on something earlier than that.

I mean, the internet makes information easier, and what's the point of easier if you're just going to go put effort into finding out if it's true. And if you can find out if something is true, people with power/money can make that information disappear (sometimes).

Day has been incredibly long and towards the end riddled with road rage due to shit truckers being shit and holding up traffic. The one beaming bright moment I was looking forward to was finally getting my hands on and trying some brie cheese. I finally have.

it was disappointing blandness wrapped in concentrated mushroom/dirt flavour
