Weirdshift is done for now, so I can go back to a schedule that I can almost pretend to be normal. I think I shall take off from work on Monday, which will make for a nice 4-day weekend for me (to make up for the 1-day weekend I had last week). I like weirdshift. It's different enough to shake things up, but not too common that it becomes a chore.

I feel like I'm going to the same places, doing the same things, and at the same times entirely too often. I feel like I'm busier on the weekends than during the week. I feel like I haven't done nearly enough of what I want to do, what I need to do.

I want to sleep 12 hours at a stretch. I want to pour my Lego out onto what precious floorspace I have and build something crazy out of it. I want to pick an entire anime series or two or three, stream it through my projector, and watch it from beginning to end in a giant marathon. I want to visit someplace that I haven't been to in a long time; or haven't been to at all despite how close it may be geographically. I want to finish overhauling all of my railroad engines, lay down some track and run some trains. I want to experiment and see how well this Jones' strawberry-lime soda jives with Yukon Jack and what else I have in my stash of booze. I want to chill. I want to turn off my phones, my computers, my lights, and give my brain the reboot that it needs so badly yet gets so infrequently.

The most frustrating part about it is, I've been able to do that all along and have no reasons, only excuses, about why I haven't done so. I am blessed with a level of self-empowerment that many can only wish to have, and cursed with the lack of ambition to use it.

Hm, at least I got the 12-hour snooze done today.

Isn't Lego only for kids aged 12 and below D:

The day I turned 13 I really felt depressed because I had to part with my collection.

[psipsy.livejournal.com]

Nobody is ever too old for Lego. Whoever told you that it was for kids 12 and under only wanted you to give up your collection for whatever reason.

[hallucino.livejournal.com]

Actually that's written on all the boxes. So, blame Lego for that.

[psipsy.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's more or less a guideline specific to the advertised model. If it says 8-12 that just means that an average 8-year old isn't going to get frustrated trying to build it and that an average 12-year old isn't going to find it too easy. But if an adult has an idea of what else to build with it, the partyvan isn't going to bust down his door because of it.

Technics has a higher age group, and some of the more intricate sets advertise 16+ for the lower end age with no maximum.

...really? orzorzorzorz omg

I thought it was age limit! x_X

There's a Lego collection out there that you need to reclaim. If you can't reclaim, then rebuild.

[animedude.livejournal.com]

Some Lego buckets used to say "age 9-99". 8-12 is just a guideline for the sets to build specific things, like a TIE-Fighter.

Tell you what, I'll get on a buss and come over next weekend. We can play with trains and legos like 12 year olds, go hit on chicks at the mall and then marathon Higurashi all at once. If we don't lose our minds after that, we'll order pizza.

[psipsy.livejournal.com]

I've already seen all of Higurashi, and I lost my mind long before that. All that'll happen is I'll sit there and laugh at your horrified reactions, and I'll eat all of the pizza.

[animedude.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to order pineapple and anchovies on mine then.

[psipsy.livejournal.com]

Sounds great! I don't understand all the hate for anchovies anyway, even if it does sound disconcerting to have unexpected seafood on a pizza.

[animedude.livejournal.com]

I've actually never had them. So I'll have to resortot taking a pre-emptive bite out of each slice.

I'm a bottom-feeder. That won't necessarily stop me.
