    Hey -- there's a name for it! - Auditory processing disorder (maybe not, but...)
    May be related to but different from my problems with overload.
  : YD has pulled out of DeVry, and will be switching to DeAnza.  Not

    are two of them now.  OK; I'll do dishes as long as they aren't
    overflowing the sink.
  = Got my part in WItD just two weeks ago.  And I think that's about when I
    started working on the stuff I just finished at work.  No wonder I feel
    more accomplished than usual.  And more wrung out.  OK then.

  * bed 11ish; snuggle
  % very erotic dream; sort of post-apocalyptic setting, mostly in a luxury
    apartment/hotel (military/diplomatic enclave, maybe) on top of a hill with
    terrific buffet food.  My lover and a visiting couple (we were all much
    younger; 20's?).  That doesn't explain having to rescue a naked 3.5" hard
    drive from the cat.

I've had bits of Walk In the Day earworming all week. Not surprising. I knew I was going to muddle through it, exactly a week ago, but I had no idea how much fun it would be, and how big a high I'd get from getting through it. I guess I'm still processing that.

And in just a few minutes we'll be leaving for the Lamplighters' production of Yeomen Of the Guard, my all-time favorite G&S operetta. So..., well then.

It was an extremely productive, if tiring, week at work. I think I spent more time actually coding, in what I call "hackertrance", than in the whole previous month. All tricky stuff involving PDF and other graphics processing. My sleep was pretty thoroughly disrupted Wednesday night, thinking about it. But it's done. DONE!

I don't know which I feel better about: WItD, the stuff at work, or simply noticing that I felt good about them. Given my ongoing struggle to notice my emotions, I'd have to say the latter.

In other news, Debian 6.0.0, codename Squeeze, is out! Also, catsidhe | Auditory Processing Deficit, or, Why I Can't Hear You Even Though I'm Not Technically Deaf -- there's actually a name for it! Or maybe not. My filters aren't nonexistent; sometimes they're actually far too effective (e.g. when I'm reading). Just weird, I guess.

Thanks! Fixed in this one; not sure whether I'll take time to go back for the others.

After reading foxipher's entry that you linked to, I'd like to know a lot more about "Walk In The Day". As most of my friends know, I am not a big fan of sunshine and heat, and for years I've been threatening to write a set of poems collectively titled "Hymns To Cold And Darkness". So the alien culture depicted in "Walk In The Day" is of great interest to me...

[mdlbear]

You'll find a very preliminary version at orawnzva: Walk in the Day: the Musical

There are a couple of links to earlier bits that you can follow from there.

[acelightning.livejournal.com]

Much to ponder there, and much to listen to. Thanks!

[mdlbear]

Hopefully he'll put up the most recent script, and audio from the performance.

I played Qyni, by the way.

[acelightning.livejournal.com]

I'll check back there again after a while.

Interesting, and logical, casting ;-)
