    So today should be the day where i woke up early and busted tail and been done in time to get some work done on my garments or go to bed early.  oh no my dear readers, not I, for i am against myself.  can you imagine what that's like to be the one holding yourself back?  confusion and frustration don't even begin to cover it.  I've been in therapy, I've been on medication, i need some other weapon.  in most monster or space movies this is when they would bring out the nukes or the photon torpedoes to defeat the enemy.  i need a psych-nuke, something that is going to blow the cruel voice that keeps me in bed when i should be working or makes me fear losing weight, or moving for a job or even just being self confident, out of the water.  Today i am declaring war.  if anyone else would say something to me like what i tell myself i would be enraged, prove them wrong and defy them.  So why is it okay for me to say this to myself?  What the hell self?!  in all seriousness I'm afraid to be this crazy, but the fact that i recognize the behavior and how negative and unhealthy it is, is actually a huge step in the right direction.

    So i made some nerdy purchases today... the first is this album>>>>
Not that i'm huge into kraftwerk but this is an amazing collection of 8-bit/chiptune artists.  If you are unfamiliar with the genre this is a pretty good introduction.  Some of the featured artists are 8-bit Warrior, who are pretty good as far as being 8-bit/chiptune with original music and not video game samples like Minibosses or The Advantage.  worth the 9.99 on itunes.

     The second of my nerdy purchases are doubly nerdy because they are both a strange collectors item with a theme that just cries classic nerd.  Yes people it's Star Wars stamps issued by the USPS.  I was at the post office mailing my graduation announcements and i saw these glorious things just laying on the counter behind the blast proof glass calling to my nerdiest heart of hearts.  So i wonder who is going to get a letter with one of these lovelies on them?  Not a god damned one of ya, thats who!  The gal at the post office put them in a ziplock baggie and that's where they're gonna stay!  they were only $6.something so i might go buy a few more for special use but thats just incase the first set get damaged or destroyed, i'll have a back up.  i can hear you laughing at me right now, but whatever it's not like i'm going to put them in my safe deposit box or anything...well...actually.
