In which I kind of fail at stuff.

I'm really starting to get tired of the limited amount of icons I've got to choose from. It'd be alright if I'd picked them myself, but these are just the ones that DW decided not to deactivate when my paid time ran out. Possibly because they were the last 15 I used, I don't know. Also, two of the six that match my LJ icons are among the deactivated ones. Very impractical.

If PayPal didn't refuse to cooperate with Dreamwidth (or if I had a credit card), I'd probably buy some more paid time for myself next month. Or the one after that. Or the one after that, at the very least ... something's always more important, but it really isn't that expensive. I'd go for six months, I think. But. I'm not going to send actual money across the ocean, or a check or something. :S

Well, IDK, I should probably be worrying about entirely different things at the moment. Priorities? What are those?

I've been having a somewhat priorities-related problem lately, anyway. I get enough things done each day to feel accomplished for a while, but then I realise that the ONE thing I failed to do was unquestionably the most important one. It's not so nice going to bed knowing that while your dishes are clean and the laundry is drying, you're out of breakfast foods because you didn't go grocery shopping ...

But at closer examination, it's not really about priorities. I doubt I could have gone grocery shopping yesterday if I hadn't done the dishes, you know? They're not exchangeable tasks. And I didn't just forget, either - perhaps with a little more determination I could have persuaded myself to go, but whether I would have actually managed to be ready to leave before the shops closed is another matter. Sometimes I simply can't do things. Which sucks. :|

I'll definitely have to stop by one of the stores that are open until 10 pm today, at least. I can survive skipping the rest, and fortunately one of them does sell rice crackers at the same price as where I usually get them. If nothing else, it'll be fun to go outside without my stupid trolley for once. XD

Oddities & Movies

I may have just made a cashier wonder what kind of person needs rice crackers and cheese so urgently on a Saturday night that they would rush into the supermarket shortly before closing time and buy nothing but those two things. Then again, maybe she was too eager to go home to pay attention. :P

It was odd being out and about this late - I almost felt as if I was doing something illegal. Small towns tend to get very, very quiet once it's dark, even though there are still people around. The loudest thing that happened was some dude saying "Grüß Gott!" either to me or to the man walking in front of me as I left the supermarket, which was puzzling not only because that greeting isn't exactly common around here, but also because I didn't know him and the man didn't react, so whichever of us he meant, he just loudly greeted a stranger for no apparent reason. And he didn't even seem drunk. Have I mentioned that people confuse me sometimes? ;)

I also thought it should be documented here, just for the record, that I watched X-Men: First Class yesterday. Well, mostly yesterday because next thing I knew it was suddenly 2 am. I enjoyed it rather a lot. Occasionally I forget that this type of movie is exactly my thing.
