My arch nemesis the ice-cream van driver woke me up before 6 yesterday, but my sleep schedule has been so wonky I decided to go with it, get up, and try to enjoy going outside to sit with the sun for a little bit. I started taking a vitamin D supplement with this round of night shift, but I figured some of the real deal couldn't hurt anything. Today the neighbor across the street was playing music in their front yard though it was only loud enough for the bass to get to my bedroom, and it sounded enough like polka to lead to the weirdest nightmare. . .

( I've been listening to The Magnus Archives again, so it was a mash up statement with Oktoberfest )

I didn't watch a single men's ncaa basketball game, but my inner gambler/competitor couldn't help filling out a bracket. I decided first step was picking the team with more wins vs top 25 teams and then to go with my gut. I have Villanova winning it all.

( Star Trek Discovery )

I watched season 41 and the first episode of this new season of Survivor, and I love the changes. Most obviously, it's so diverse and THEY GET TO WEAR CLOTHES! There are other changes of course, it's 26 days instead of 39, so the contestants have to start playing a lot faster and it feels likes there's nowhere to hide.

60 year old Jeff Probst will no longer use 'guys' as a group pronoun and also he clearly made a deal somewhere to stop aging.

I finished reading Bird Box by Josh Malerman and it is very similar and very different than the Sandra Bullock Netflix movie (which I really liked). I enjoyed it quite a lot, and am now waiting for the sequel Malorie from the library.

( four more weeks on night shift )

I had a dream last night that I was running my grandparents' old restaurant. It was a Rib Ranch, casual type family dining/bbq. Then here came Gordon Ramsey with his Kitchen Nightmares crew, and he's convinced we need to go to a total Tide pod menu. So many ways to serve those yummy looking little gummies.

Maybe I'll find a different show for background noise at work.

To the tune of Winchester Cathedral. (Link to Box, go ahead and have a listen. I dare ya!)


Sorry that I'm so boring lately and not of the Stargate-ness. The semester is wrapping up, and I'm going to have a nervous break down at how much money I'm going to owe the government when my two years are up. I'll do better. Swear.
