Well...

I made it through the first two hundred-odd years of Frontier's recorded history today - although admittedly the first 188 years of that were terraforming. I also figured out what its original name was (Eiluphates Gamma - the third planet of the star Eiluphates - then Federal Frontier Colony 1079), some interesting things about the way the Federal government works, and why Dodge City is named Dodge City.

Didn't get anything else done, though. (Well, I watched through Firefly again, but that hardly counts.)

I am amused.

It's even better knowing that D&D Online is in development.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Thing 1: my $165 phone bill.
Thing 2: the fantastic new hard drive is serial ATA (SATA-1), not ATA, and so I can't use it.

Where's Thing 3?

phosphodae is right.

Other people can influence how I feel, but I'm the only one who can control it.

I wish I could control how motivated I feel too.

EDIT: I've just stumbled over a most useful Latin sentence: nescio quid scribam. The textbook uses it as an example of a use of the subjunctive (scribam): "I don't know what to write". (Literally, "I don't know what I should write".) But nescio quid has an alternate meaning; literally, it's "I don't know what", but it can also mean "something". So nescio quid scribam could, if you look at it loosely enough, mean "I should write something".

Nescio quid scribam: I don't know what I should write, but I should write something. The writer's eternal lament.

I love Latin.
