 and when i get home.  and all night long.  and for the rest of this week&#8230;<br \/>\nchristopher speculated that my recent surge in popularity (i have three different social engagements this week!) was due solely to people&#8217;s knowledge of my impending Wii-ness.  he&#8217;s probably right.  damn leeches!  first it&#8217;s the couch, now it&#8217;s the Wii.  people only love me for my stuff!  ;)<br \/>\nfor some reason, i&#8217;ve got myself a killer headache today.  maybe it was the 5am wake up to get on the bus in time this morning.  it kills me that i have dad&#8217;s car this week and there&#8217;s this snow fall warning.  of course, there&#8217;s barely any snow out there, so now i&#8217;m crabby that i didn&#8217;t drive anyway.  mabye i should stop typing and go get myself some more coffee.<br \/>\nhave a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i&#8217;m losing days. i know i&#8217;m awake and doing stuff, but i have to spend a lot of time concentrating to remember what i did when and with who. maybe that&#8217;s good. maybe i&#8217;m so into the now i&#8217;m no longer obsessed with the past. that bears some thinking on. i do know that i <span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span> <span class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/sometimes_you_f\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Read More &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2540\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
