"the problem with relays"

i can't do anymore relay messages. they only work in a long-form narrative and not something short and sudden. there goes the whole tension building exercise. unless someone has better ideas...i guess that if i wasn't so worked up about it being done in real-time, it would be better...but i can't really be creative right now; i'm quite brain drained. spent a few hours playing way of the samurai 2...it's fun but tedious. ever heard of a game where you couldn't save in-game? you have now.

asia pacific went fine, i gather. not excellent, but dependable. i've got no idea who's marking it...there's a lot of rumours going around over who the replacement lecturer is next semester. yea, well. hopefully, i won't be there.

it's a tuesday morning. despite strained eyes and a worn mind, i can't sleep. so...here goes...

hail to atlas!
globe on his back!
carries my burdens so!
if i tripped him over
would he cave in?
and would the world be lost in dough?
pillsbury runs throughout his veins
he's really a timid guy
so hail to atlas
the carrying man
let not the sun in his eye!

lord, that was dumb.
