The weekend was good times, though I was mistaken in my belief that the sickness that'd overtaken me all week was gone. I think it is ~now~, but no doubt I'll spend the day finding out if I'm right. While I did appear for a bit at the game club meeting Saturday (my first visit since before Halloween, jeez), it was only for an hour or so and my lack ( Read more... )

So starting, like, Monday, I came down with a sore throat that got progressively worse until I was gargling about a whole bottle of mouthwash in a day to be able to drink anything. But that came and went and by Wednesday it was almost gone... only to be replaced with sneezes and a nose that leaked like a dam with no concrete. The thing is, neither ( Read more... )

So another totally crackin' period of off-time from work has come and gone and like year previous it was ripping good fun, so I'm going to go ahead and do a typically Internet thing and tell you what I think about practically every detail of it if that's okay ( Read more... )

I've never been one to do traditional things unless the situation expressly called for it, but in the name of Thanksgiving, I've got a little something to say that I don;t think's ever really said enough.

The way I figure it, everyone has two families in life. The one you're born into, and the one you collect. So today I toast you, my friends, my ( Read more... )

So last week had its ups and downs, getting to see some friends for the first time in a while and also getting burgled. The weekend in particular rocked out, getting to spend some time with some properly awesome people on Saturday (you all know exactly who you are), and on Sunday hitting the Nexus for a bit and then wandering to the campus to ( Read more... )

I bring you, my friends, news most sad. It seems that at some point last night, my automobile was burgled. I came out this morning (I have now taken off work) to find the armrest containment open and rifled, the console ransacked, and worst of all, the iPod I sometimes keep in the glove box stolen. There was no sign of forced entry, and none of the ( Read more... )

As much as you might think a subject line like that would open an entry with a largely negative tone, or just one containing bad news, it doesn't. Actually, it turns out that last night was pretty cool, even if it wasn't what I expected ( Read more... )

To preface this (as I sometimes do) with something that will seem largely tangential, I've long had this... problem with points in time when breaks from work end, be it after a holiday or a vacation or even on most Sunday nights. It may or may not be a sign that I'm not good at handling changes in routine, but basically when I get the chance to ( Read more... )

So Halloween is about a week and change away, and 'tis the season to watch what else but horror films. For a year or two I've wanted to track down some of the old classic Universal monster movies from the 30s and 40s, to see what they're really like. So back on Tuesday I went merrily a-hunting, and for $12 (what luck!) I returned home with a five- ( Read more... )
