I have no idea what day it is. Sure, the calendar at the bottom of the screen says Oct 3. And I can assume by the reminders that pop up about the stuff that I have to do today, that it is Wednesday. But I have no way of knowing, really, what day it is. 

I often try to describe this feeling to people. It happens whenever I get really busy and stressed out. I feel like I am in space. Totally weightless. And slowly spinning in the opposite direction of Earth’s orbit, which somehow makes me feel very heavy. Weightless and heavy, slowly spinning backwards. That’s me. It also sounds like a Pink Floyd lyric.

I just did a Google Image search for “weightless and heavy, slowly spinning backwards” and other than trying to change it to “weight loss” it gave me this as the second image:

Yeah, that also kind of sums up how I feel. Well done Google.

So, I am officially sucked into “Ready Player One”. I am about 150 pages in and the proverbial “shit” is just starting to get real and it is awesome. The best part about this experience is that I am escaping from my stressful homework schedule by reading a book about escapism (and 80s pop culture). My life is like if the Coen brothers remade Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and I am he. Who will save Ferris? Save Ferris will?!

Layers dude. It’s like Mexican Layer Dip flavored Pringles.

Well, I had better get some pants on if this day is going to happen. Or I could just go climb into the hammock with my book…

More soon. ~SC
