so, the first east coast trip went well, although i wasn't able to make it everywhere i had planned (apparently, derrek's house in vermont is more than 200 miles from ANYTHING). saw my sister before she headed off to Japan for the next 9ish months. met her boyfriend (he passes inspection, he laughed at my jokes and non sequitur pop culture ( Read more... )

I can't make up my mind about this work situation. Either I want out as soon as possible, or I want to stay and have things get better. Opinions vary day-to-day, hell, minute-to-minute. I need to get second, third and fifth opinions on this subject. I think I already know what Rissa's mother thinks (she's still checking the classified ads on ( Read more... )

I've been on a pizza kick the last week or so. this is probably less than healthy. Hell, I went out to dinner with Rissa's dad today (a pretty weird experience in and of itself) and we went for pizza. admittedly, it was crazy barbecue sauce chicken pizza, but still.... rissa back on tuesday. I'll sleep then, and she'll be mad at me for not ( Read more... )

I've been listening to The Wall on endless repeat since yesterday at around 7 PM, and it's giving me nostalgic memories of my sophmore year in the mods, watching the movie over and over and over again. Good times, even though they didn't always seem that way when I was there ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I decided that I was finished with Diablo 2. Any further clicking spent on that game would be silly, I reasoned. It's time for me to join the modern age, instead of trying to live in the past. I'm going to go buy World of Warcraft and be cool again ( Read more... )

I've just spent 45 minutes on the phone with 2 different people explaining how selling things on eBay works. I hate my job.

I was just reading somebody's review of the new Legend of Zelda game (not that I'll buy this one either, since the most recent game console I own is a PS1) and they've given Link a finishing move. Yes, as in something comes up on the screen that says "Finish!" (not "Finish him!", apparently they're more gender-neutral than Mortal Kombat ( Read more... )

It's funny, I seem to be much better about communicating with the outside world when I'm at work. I can't seem to be bothered with checking my email when I'm at home, or with turning on AIM, or with any damn thing at all. I think (bogus non-science warning) it might have something to do with the fact that I rarely eat breakfast, or lunch for that ( Read more... )
