Happy sunday!
Really, today has been pretty good, aside from my furball laying down on a hard candy and having it stuck to his leg.
So what's been up with me lately.
Murphy's law has been kicking me square in the jimmy.
The worst that could happen, will happen.
Take last tuesday. I'm thinking: "Oh, puny leetal storm, not even hurricane strength. Ugh shall laugh at you now. Hah Hah Hah."
Little did Ugh, my inner caveman, know that he'd be watching parts of trees go sailing by in the canal in his backyard and having to fill sandbags and clean debris out of the storm drain in the middle of torrential rains. That and the shop I work out of flooded out because of some engineer from Sams Club had routed the drain field pipe from their half mile square parking lot directly into the storm system under the shop. Which meant that the shop flooded from below, not the accumulated rain. Joy.
Cue me working wednesday, thursday and friday in flooded areas fixing air conditioners that drowned and salvaging a shop worth of equipment. Oh joy, oh happy joy. I think I may have trench foot. I'm slathering on the Bag Balm and foot fungus cream. Blech.
Right now I'm sitting here drinking fresh pineapple juice and listening to the pot on the stove simmer. Making a corned beef with potatos, parsnips, onions and carrots. No cabbage, don't wanna die. :p
I've been seeing a gal named Ashley lately. She's cute, sorta plump(okay, so I'm a chubby chaser) smart, and she's a bookworm. And she wears librarian glasses with her hair in pigtails with shock red lipstick. It's like a nerds dream. Unf unf unf. It's nice to have someone to talk to that actually understands when I use bigger words and doesn't continually tell me to dumb it down. She sees me doing my college homework and quizzes me on things she thinks are esoteric and I've missed. It's really reassuring. :)
Oh yeah, she's also 21. o_O
I've been called a cradle robber, chester the molester, and most laughingly the playground pervert. Guess the gals in the office don't like it when she's younger than they are. Heh. Anyhoo...
That's my life in a nutshell for the last couple weeks.
Oh yeah... I burned the game "Space Seige" from the Bay, and it's actually a pretty fun little shoot em up. Not worth the $45 they want for it, but it's enjoyable after working and you just want some mindless destruction. Played Mass Effect twice through on the hard settings, but the hour long firefights started wearing on me and my mouse. Really liked it though. :D
Been goofing off with the pre-release of SPORE, the game, not just the critter creator, and lemme tell you: it's worth the money. The first stage of life as a microbe is cheesy and arcade-like, but fun. The creature and tribal life stages are, to me, the most interesting. Imagine your pack of little tribals going after something the size of a blue whale with pointy sticks. There is a LOT of dark humor in it.The city stage has been lots of managment and you have to practice a lot of critical thinking with regards to resources and warfare. However, it's not all about brawn; if you made creatures that use stealth you can win through "spying and subterfuge." Your creatures attributes dictate the style of warfare and their civilization parameters. Haven't gotten much past this stage in the game yet. It's coming soon though. :)
Does anyone here have a copy of Vampire the Masquarade: Bloodlines I could borrow for a week?
