The pool is opening tomorrow. Yay! I’ll get a chance to start ignoring my plan for exercise…I mean go swimming for half-an-hour every day.

But, wait, what is this, I have Pendant work to do? I do. Rats. Well, that means Sins of a Solar Empire will have to wait. But its siren’s call is so alluring!

I will have to carefully structure my time ( Read more... )

Ooh! The new Batman Trailer is out!

I’m STILL directing my second episode of Dixie Stenberg…I’m on the FINAL few steps. Adding music, polishing my assistant director’s stuff, putting everything together and shipping it off for review.

Dixie is a show set in the 1940s (during and just after The War, y’see). The music and sound effects should reflect that to some extent. Yeah, the ( Read more... )

After 4 physical therapy appointments, my arm has significantly improved. At the first appt., the PT determined exactly what range of motion I was lacking. It was 15 degrees worse than my right arm in both extension and bending. What that means is, if my right arm could go to a 160 degree angle, my left arm could only go to 145 degrees when ( Read more... )

Bah, the Penguins lost to the fucking Canadiens. The 16th seeded (that’s out of 16 teams that made it to the playoffs) team. The Pens just handed pucks to Cammilleri, who would then shoot and score. Halak was pretty damned good in goal for the Habs too. Crosby and Malkin teamed up on the “SUCK THE MOST” team, and the rest of the Penguins just ( Read more... )

Evidently, my family is interested in seeing who can injure themselves the worst.

Serena is a regular contributor to the purchase of band-aids, with regular cuts and scratches from a variety of sources (many of them the cat).

La femme in an effort to help with dealing with Snowmageddon (is that the current term these days?) got tendinitis in her ( Read more... )

Man oh man, that was harder than I remembered. Just got done with the first draft of Dixie 45, and, well, it was certainly a challenge. Of course, a lot of life issues got in the way, delaying the release somewhat. Particularly tonight, as I attempt to de-anger myself after the fuckheads in the Boy Scouts really set me off. Anyway, Draft 1 of ( Read more... )

Some of you may be aware that my son is a member of the Boy Scouts of America. Recently they went on a trip to the Antietam National Battlefield. This has led to some … interesting developments that have thrown me for a little bit of a loop, and thus my posting.

On the way down, evidently there was some friction between Austin and his ‘friend’ ( Read more... )

1> Sleep is going well…not as well as I had hoped, but better than it was. I’m able to get up earlier, stay awake better (although not flawlessly). Random points out quite correctly that the CPAP is not a cure-all for the sleep problems I have, but it’s better than, say, NOT having it.

2> Pendant is interesting. Jeffrey is no doubt a little ( Read more... )

For those of you following the continuing saga of the sleepytiger, I got my report when I got to the 2nd sleep study where they attached a mask to my nose and pumped air into my face. Here are the highlights from the report:

normal text is my thoughts on the subject.
