burned out.

I'm feeling really burned-out lately... it's the constant chaos and moving from one obligation to another usually with no break. If I'm not at work I'm at the clinic, and if not there, Winston is bugging me to do something with him. I get home, lie on the couch, and in five minutes I'm asleep. I haven't slept in bed for months, I kid you not.

Other than that, I live the life of a bike messenger.

My big pleasure thing lately, though, has been watching these old amine tapes with the cat purring on my belly as I lie on the couch waiting for sleep to overtake me. The tapes are the series "Robotech" which was broadcast in Americanized form on TV back in the mid 80s. Caroline and I stumbled on it and we WORSHIPPED the show, which we only caught infrequently because it came on at like 9 am and we usually had to work. They made like 80 half-hour episodes and we saw only a handful. It's a big sprawling saga with lotsa characters. We didn't have a vcr back then (imagine that?), otherwise we woulda recorded them. When I finally got a computer, I found someone offering the entire series (that they had home-recorded) on eBay, so I snatched it up. But I was so busy I never got around to watching the tapes until now. The picture quality is shit poor, and the animation seems crappier than I remember it, but I'm starting to get back into it again. Ah nostalgia!
