Ok, this game Homeworld is kinda cool. Too bad the demo stops just before you get to do anything remotly interesting. And my HD is filled up with this other game, Age of Empires 2. Course, I haven’t played it yet cause I’m going to be RSN. 12:30 in the morning and instead of sleeping, or partying, I’m rebooted to ‘doze and playing games. Kicking ass in Half Life etc.
This daylight savings time thing? You can shove it. I’m sorry, but I have no fscking desire to see the sun in the morning. The darker it is the less I have to squint my eyes and the less I squint my eyes the less chance there is of me falling asleep from having my eyes half closed. A week ago I was driving to work in the morning in the half darkness with the sun barely peeking over the mountains.
I was ok with this.
Now, after the time change, I drive to work with the sun way on top of the mountains, just low enough my sun visor does me no good and just high enough to be right in my eyes.
And due to this it means that in the evening it gets dark at 5 or something, so after work I’m running in dark. Course, I’m in the dark most of the time, but we’ll leave that for another day.
Ok, since I’m in a bitching mood, I’ll continue. So I’m about to take a trip to Edmonton to see Darren and K. My car has to be up to spec for the long drive. Perfect timing for something to go wrong right? Well, a lovely grinding sound from my front left wheel influenced me to hit a mechanic on my way to work on thursday and to make a long story a tiny bit shorter it cost me $260 bux. “Pretty bad” was the diagnosis for my left CV joint. Probably mechanic shorthand for “about to burst apart and kill you or anyone driving near you,” so I’m not sad to have it fixed. Right next to pay day too, so it wasn’t the worst timing in the world. Course, it was also right next to rent day so it wasn’t the best either.
Went to Yohimbe and his web-diva wife’s place for dinner tonight. Gooooood lasagna, good company, and cool ass tunes played by Yohimbe himself. Now I want to learn guitar, at least enough to play something recognizable at the beach in the summer or something. The man just rocks at it, I was very impressed.
Worked today too. Wee, great way to spend a saturday. Course, it’s brownie points with the boss, a day in the perverbial bank as far as days off go (can we say 3 day weekend coming up sometime?). We did get some good code done though, so it’s not like it was a wasted day or anything. Guess laundry day is gonna be tomorrow then huh? Along with (reading from list): put up DC update site (basically a cool (or un-totally-lame) logo and a page with the DC stuff I spew here there), redoing my firewall rules, finishing Louis L’amour’s Last of the Breed [archive link], tape Ian Tyson (stole a CD from Brad, and taping the good stuff off it will nicely finish off my Old Country mix tape (with which I will torture those who don’t appreciate good music)), clean bathroom, set up samba on fishbowl so I’ll have a place to store stuff or something like that.
Hell of a Sunday huh?
