Okay, that's done, what next?

AAAARGH!!
OnLine FIST!
Printed FIST!
THE RADIO SHOW TONIGHT! (I have to spell Chas tonight on the ESO radio
show -- he's at Sirius Rising for a concert so it's my choice of music
for the whole show. Expect rousing movie score tracks, old timey acid
rock classics and weird-ass mixes by unheard-of nobodies. Also Patrick
Volkerding got me a copy of the ESO jam at Tranquility Base from Friday
night at XDV that he secretly recorded.)
THE 5 X-DAY VIDEO-AUDIO TRANSFERS!
I could do that... yeah... could use it for shows... gotta do it
anyway... aiee.
HOUR OF SLACK... uh... 847 must be the next one. EIGHT HUNDRD AND FORTY
SEVEN FUCKING WEEKLY SHOWS!!
OH SHIT, THE BOOK COVERS!
OH SHIT, THE MOVIE IDEA!
OH SHIT THE OLD FIST REPRINTS!
OH SHIT THE REVISED BRAG SHEET!
OH SHIT THE REVISED SUBSITE GIANT INDEX!
OH SHIT THE CITY HOUSING INSPECTOR!
OH SHIT THE BLOOD TESTS!
OH SHIT STARWOOD!
OH SHIT MEDIA BARRAGE5 side 2! and BAD DOKTORS!
OH SHIT THE CHICK ESSAY!
OH SHIT THE CHURCH HISTORY PROJECT!
OH SHIT THE GIFT CERTIFICATES FROM MY WEDDING A YEAR AGO!
OH SHIT THE MAILING LIST!
OH SHIT THE NEW ART-VIDEO PROGRAMS!
OH SHIT ALL THOSE MOVIES I COPIED!
OH SHIT ALL THOSE ALBUMS I COPIED!
OH SHIT ALL THOSE GAMES I COPIED!

OH SHIT THE "THINGS TO SEE SAY AND DO" LIST!

OH SHIT -- Sleep!

Oh shit... I need to shit first. Then eat. Then sleep.

But that DSL line is supposed to go in today!

I spent half the day yesterday -- BEFORE I did the marathon HTML-ing --
getting my phone lines ready for ADSL. God DAMN! I had to install this
filter-splitter thingie in such a way that... well, let me put it this
way. I found myself methodically detaching and reattaching every strand
of the red-green-yellow-black wires for 8 separate lines, at this
SubGenius-rigged junction box nailed to the rafters in my basement in a
mass of cobwebs across the wall from the exterior phone company NIB
box... and running up and down the stairs each time checking various
phone lines to figure out which ones would go to the DSL modem and
which were Wei's other line, etc.

I THINK I got it right.

But since I haven't been getting long luxurious nights of sleep lately
I'm thinking maybe I better not try to configure the insides of my
computer's guts and this weird-ass little router box... wouldn't want
to accidentally yank the machine's heart out, chop off its head and
stuff its mouth with garlic in some kind of antisleep delerium, and
then not be able to use either the existing but bankrupt cable OR the
new mysterious ADSL.

The really sick thing about all this is that I'm pretty sure I'll
eventually end up with a fucking server running out of my office
someday, hooked up to my brain with aligator clips and duct tape.

And I'll LIKE it.
