Corrosive Shame

When the following day has a lot of rushing around in it I tend to find that I overcompensate and wake up extraordinarily early - confusing me and ensuring that I'm even less able to deal with the day.

This is, I suspect why I woke up at 6am this morning, rather than 6:30 when I intended, after having had a lucid dream about being stuck in a lecture, unable to escape.

So, there was only one thing for it - bounce up, bounce out (which I find very hard to do without a shower), and get to the gym. While I might crow about it on LJ I don't actually think there's any danger of me becoming a real gym bunny - and losing my current "slightly overindulged" figure - it's actually quite good fun, and energising. This morning musical assistance was Prodigy, Das Ich, New Model Army and Coil, though being fearful for my safety I unplugged for the cycle home.

Today I shall mostly be running from meeting to meeting, and this evening I'm considering a visit to reverend2001's party - assuming I can scrape together a costume and sufficient volumes of "Avast Me Hearties".

Oh, and going back WIDATW - I can't remember if I mentioned what jolly fun the not-Aftershow Party was - nice to see davefish, keris and toripink as well as the local crowd.
