The Update That Wasn't

[feldman]

Sometimes when I'm studying I'm hit by a nap that's as subtle as a 2x4 to the skull, which I'd always considered a sign of inattention or laziness, and is the main reason I tend to study at home in comfy places.  Seeing this response play out in the kiddo as she learns to read has now demonstrated that this is not a moral failing, but simply the brain rebooting immediately after a software upgrade.

Six months away from cubeville and my body no longer aches in all the office chair ways, but I've also lost the protective postures and skills I'd developed to handle all that computer work.  Six hours doing taxes on Sunday and now I want to lop off my right arm just above the elbow.

I'm writing Addams Family fic.  I can't explain it, either, but it beats the Arrested Development/Lost Boys AU I started sketching out last week ("A California vampire story that *doesn't* involve Joss Whedon and waifish twenty-somethings.")

Also, I am compulsively re-watching the first season of Archer.

I wish that phenomenon had only been a "sometimes" one back when I studied... ;)
