Daniel J. Hogan's Blog

jimhines started the first Share a Blog Day, so I thought I'd chip in. Y'all should be reading beatonna's blog. It is all kinds of great - she does these great comics. Some are autobiographical and others are historical. All are amazing. I especially love her historical strips.

I have some other good news I'll post about later.

I came home from work, laid back in my recliner and started reading a selection from High Seas Cthulhu (The Idol in His Hand by Darrell Schweitzer) I was out cold minutes later. I guess I was tired (not the fault of the story I was reading, which I was enjoying a lot - it had pirates!). I have talked to my doctor about this: my coming home from work and being able to just pass out for over an hour almost at will. He said get more sleep at night - and NOT to take naps, no matter how much I wanted to because doing so throws off my sleep cycle even more.

The other problem is, other than losing an hour of sacred free time (which I did tonight), I have a hard time fully waking up after these naps. I'm still a bit groggy. And I tend to have weirder dreams too, dunno why. I've started doing my best to keep a dream journal as of late (both nap and real sleep) and after reading over some of these again it is rather...yikes.

At least I got disc two of Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5 from Netflix today. I'll get disc 3 soon - but Season 3 doesn't come out on DVD until the middle of March! What's a boy to do?

I also came up with a clever idea to solve my "wishing I had just paid the $12 to re-name my old LJ account" problem. I'll go into eyriblog, copy the posts I want and post them here with the same date. Yeah it'll take some work, but it'll solve many problems. And I save $12!

I bit the bullet and started up a new LJ with a much better user name. This is what I should have done from the start. Oh well, live and learn. I only did the other one for uh...seven months. Which really ain't that long in the world of blogging. I won't delete it though, no point. I s'pose I could have paid the $12 and switched my account over, which probably would have made more sense...but I think that would have caused a huge headache since it would ruin all my links all over my websites and such. 

This way I can do it bit by bit.

I also get a way to kind of 'reboot' my tags, which is nice. I was planning on spending an afternoon revising most of them, which would have been a lot of work.
