Nik: I Wake Up Most Days. (11:30am)

I heard some time ago that it's probably a good idea to do something you don't like once every day. For me today, that meant going into my basement with all of the lights off, alone, to do my 365.

I've been scared of my darkened basement for as long as I can remember. It's an old house, the basement's not particularly finished, and it's cold. But, as we are all adults here, (Don't believe me? Check the content warning on our blog now) I decided it was time to put my fear aside and face it, "like an animal that might have to be killed."

Be proud of me. I am.

Nik: Angry Windowlicking Snow Shoveler. (6:30pm)

I showed my dad the music video for "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin today after having watched it myself last night for the first time ever with Tim and Sam Taylor. My dad was really disturbed by it and then I guess he got angry at me for showing it to him because he immediately ordered that I shovel the snow outside.

My dad never asks me to do any chores unless I have something important to do at the exact same time that that he asks me, or he's having a bad day/is in a bad mood and needs to take it out on somebody. I couldn't shovel at all today though, because I've been really sick.

I think I'm coming down with a cold.
