June 2005


Interesting week: My best bro stopped by on Wednesday, Thursday was gaming…

Also, Orie and I have been planning on going to Charleston for a while now. Someday. Today, she called me at work at 2:00 and said, “How about tonight?”

So we’re off to Charleston tonight, will be back on Monday. Ben will be holding the fort down at home, and I’ll post pics when we can!

I had to turn comments off on my code here. I’m really sorry, and for those two people who commented:
Evan-> Heh.
Some-Jerk-> Yep, it’s me, the “Blade of the Immortal” guy who never gets around to site updates. :-)

Unfortunately, for every good comment I was getting, I was literally getting 20 Spam comments that I had to delete. Too much effort. I’ll find a workaround later, but for now it’s off.

Also in the news: Drew Dunlap, Best Friend Extrordinaire, is set to swing by tonight on a road trip between Florida (parents) and Virginia (Grandmother). The sad thing is that we’ll only have about 4 hours, and not 14+, to talk. Sucks, but oh well, what can you do, right? We’ll hook up again next year. I’ll try to take a pic or two.

7:15 AM: Ate one McGriddle sandwich with bacon.
4:21 PM: Still feel ill.

A COMMON OCCOURANCE AT WORK:
Coffee pots are empty. Friggin heathens.
Oooh, espresso machine. JUST what I need.

BEFORE: I’ll get a cup, make an espresso, and hit the double espresso button 4 times to fill the cup up pretty high. Then I’ll load in soy-milk and make a latte. Mmmm! Like a coffee, with a little more oomf, and in the latte form that I do love.

TODAY: Hey, why don’t I just MAKE FOUR COMPLETE DOUBLE ESPRESSOS and PUT THEM IN ONE CUP! Oh, not a lot of room for soy milk. Well, I’ll just put in a tiny bit, and a little extra sugar.

FOUR HOURS LATER: My right eyelid is still twitching. For real.

I think I can even kind of see through time.

Tonight, in a few hours I’ll be eating sushi with my folks and my stepbrother (and his wife and cute baby) at Sushi Yoshi. I hope I’m not too hyper by then…

Getting used to the wonderful world of 10-hour days. Wake up at 6:00, go back to sleep until 6:20, then launch awake, get ready, and get to work by 7:00. Work until 6:00, getting regular feedings of caffiene (tea and a little coffee). At 6:00 go home, eat, and putz around for an hour or two before I gotta go back to bed. Kinda weird. It’ll take a little while to get used to it, I think.

This is what happens when you mix up “Full Version” with “Upgrade Version”. Luckily, I still have my old Moveabletype Text. Unfortunately, the conversion option seems pretty dead at this point, so I’ll have to figure out another way.

And also, gotta find some decent stylesheets. This Red-On-White default stuff is crappy.
