You know what I'd like? Some kind of feature, one that could be mapped to a function key or a shortcut, that temporarily disabled the screensaver. I watch a lot of streamed videos which, being in a browser window, don't disable the screensaver or sleep mode like software video players do. It's a really minor thing that can be solved by just whacking the mouse, but it's pretty inconvenient all the same, particularly since I like my screensaver to come on pretty quickly.

This is what I think about when I should be doing more productive things. Like thinking what to write here, or writing down some of the fiction that swirls around in my head all day while I pace around the floor.

I can't believe that it's nearly the end of the summer holidays. I feel like I've got nothing done, which isn't strictly true but is close enough to the truth to be rather depressing, but I also feel like I'm growing bored with it. As fun as holidays can be, the weather has been miserable for weeks and I've run out of things to do. Of course, the moment I get back to school I imagine that I'll be pining for the fjords my hammock again but such is life and the human condition.

Now, I need to get this up because I missed Hyperdrive last week and the repeat comes on in about 5 minutes. I wish I had more to say but I honestly don't. More tomorrow, I can but hope. I may even have a New Word Thursday lined up.
