Title...I've got nothing

::::I seriously *heart* Firefox. Every time I use Explorer lately it just lags and lags, and then sometimes crashes. So I started using Firefox (I could even import my bookmarks, Woot!). I don't think I'm ever going back. Why didn't I get on this band wagon sooner?

::::With two and a half months left until moving day, I've started packing. Just a couple boxes of books. Trust me I have plenty more to go. I know that it's still a ways away, but I know myself and I'll get busy doing other stuff, and stressed out from work, and next thing you'll know it will be the end of July and I won't have anything packed. So little steps right now.

::::I'm having trouble with my sleep schedule. On a good night I'm asleep by 3am, but there have been plenty of instances lately where I've been awake past sun-up. Then, when I finally do fall asleep, I'll sleep all day until I have to go to work. Depending on when I fall asleep this can be as much as 12+ hours. I've gotten into bad sleep cycles before and I've tried all my usual tricks to break out of this one, but nothing has worked so far. I have vacation coming up in two weeks, so if I can't do it before I'll get myself sorted then.

::::If I can't get up to the lake on vacation I was thinking about going camping. I don't know if my car is up to the 3+ hour drive to Hocking Hills, though. I mean, sometimes it seems fine. Other times it starts acting weird. It's been a few years since I've been down that way, so I'd like to go. I just would like to not be stranded on the side of the road. And there are more and more bears down in that region. I would be staying in a campground, but still it's something to think about.
Something to think about when say, you're lying in your tent at night and there's something shuffling around your tent, and you're an idiot who decided to go camping by yourself, so you don't have anybody else in the tent to wake up and share your concerns with, but luckily whatever is out there in the dark sounds too small to be a bear, and when it passes between your tent and the light up the path you can see from it's silhouette it's just a raccoon which you then startle into running off into the underbrush and after all that you have to try and fall back asleep.

::::Apparently I have really good hearing. Like, superhuman hearing. At least, that's what my employees keep telling me.

::::Okay, I'm tired and out of ideas. Laters.

    People often say that Australia has too many dangerous animals, but we don't have bears so I think those people should shut the hell up. Bears are just plain scary.

    Can you take, like, pepper spray or something? Or an illegal firearm, since everyone in BG apparently has one?

    I just watched some show on wbgu about a guy that got attacked by a bear in the brainpan and lived. He just kept saying "I felt it eating my brain! I felt it eating my brain!" Turns out his brain was fine. Maybe the bear was a zombie.

    Mark - yeah, but Australia's dangerous animals seem to mostly be of the "poisonous" variety as opposed to the "eat your feet" variety.

    Pepper spray? lol.

    Julia - stupid zombie bears.

    Mark, again - Fuck bears. I will punch every bear in the face.

    Oz dangerous animals are just so 'meh' for us. They are more deadly than dangerous. As in, if you get bitten you will almost certainly die. But they don't really seek you out as a meal. I'd rather go camping in Oz.
