2011.02.17 Lunacy

I've been going to bed pretty early lately. Not necessarily sleeping, as is my way, but I've been feeling so run down lately that it has been nice to just read and watch some streaming iPhone action and snuggle and be generally lazy. It's something that I usually can't bear to do because I'm typically quite antsy right around the witching hour, and lying still is too difficult.

Maybe I'm feeling better, finally. Or maybe it's the big, fat, baleful moon drowning me with nocturnal energies that I Just.Can't.Ignore. I feel half-mad with great ideas for how to solve some design problems at work, and tortured with schemes both domestic and extra-curricular.

I can't stop thinking about driving Richthofen yesterday evening. It was an annoying route through traffic to be line up at the emissions testing facility to renew my registration - and I freaking loved every bit of it. Driving the Battleship and the Tyrannosaurus Rex today were a test of my patience and a cruel flogging, respectively. Which is crazy, because I really like both of them. They're great vehicles, and I really appreciate how perfectly suited they are for what they're supposed to do. It's just that... neither is able to focus my love of driving into a traffic plasma torch and elicit howls of joy from my feral heart.

Enough of this. Enough of talking about what I'm feeling. Time to harness it, and make it drag my muse out of its cage.
