Dealing with that slight post partum depression after completing my research paper. Went to have the pause to recover before making a start on the presentation for it next week... Didn't wake up till gone noon, and then had what felt like a godawful hangover (just one without having drunk any alcohol the night before). That slowly cleared up as evenings arrived, and found out my ex just got engaged. Not sure how I feel today all in all.

Watching the 88 pages of my research paper print out... slowly. So slooowly.

When you're putting the finishing touches to your research paper and suddenly realise that for some stupid reason you captioned all your charts as tables instead of figures. Then hav to go back and change 80 odd charts to the correct caption.... I'm classifying that as weird because I've now been awake for the last 29 hours and juggling a few seperate things as I try to get this all wrapped up.

And since most of it tends to be American politcs under discussion, I like to lurk and throw popcorn over those colonial traitors. Well, that and throw in political jokes. On a random sideline, for the mix of history and politics, I saw an interesting discussion which posited that no revolution in history has ever succeeded on its own. The only revolutions that have worked, have been those that are supported by some outside power. Then as part of that discussion, the point was raised that on certain grounds, the American War of Independence was not an actual revolution per se, but actually a civil war - due to the fact that the organisers and leaders of the American side of things were in the majority cases those people who were in the positions of power in the Americas, and not the underclass that revolutions are made up of.

Natch. Even tried reset to factory and it's still doing it intermittently. Get a few hours of it, then it'll settle for awhile... then start up again out of nowhere.

My mobile phone has developed an issue of intermittently vibrating for several hours. And as long as its vibrating it minimises every single app or function you try to access. Can't read messages, can't even access the settings, because the moment you open it.. it gets minimised. Its proving... vexing.
