This past weekend was kind of interesting.
Friday, was the start of my spring break. Also marked the year point since Amy dumped me, and everyone started avoiding me. However, at the same time, was invited to a birthday party, and had a good time. Finally shit seems to be improving.
Saturday and sunday, hung out at AnimeSTL, and spent some time with Hawk and Ananth. Also met Hawk's significant other, Cowgirl Jess. All cool people. Hawk and Ananth loaded me up with posters and a shirt for working on the forums for them. Really kinda feel bad about it, but Hawk threatened to ban me if I didn't take them. Can't argue with the man.
Outside of that, just been loading up my new ipod with stuff. It is a iPod Photo, but, it is new to me.
Yay! Today I have my laptop on the wireless at school. I hadn't ever really been able to get it on the network here, because apparently WICD hates it when you have multiple APs near by with the same SSID. WICD ends up treating each as different networks, regardless of if they are or not, but tries to connect using the SSID and gets all confused. Ceni, which I forgot I had installed, has no such difficulty.
Also, Watchmen! Going to see it tonight after work with Kurt. Really been looking forward to it for a long time now. Probably my favorite graphic novel of all time.
One thing that I've been trying over the past few months is a beard. Eric gives me shit and says it is an Abe Lincoln beard, because it is sans mustache, but fuck that. Lincoln was cool. Also talking with a friend to see about making me a new coat. I like the duster, but it is getting up there in age. Is like 15 years old now, and it is starting to show. I am thinking a jacket similar to the Rocketeer's, but double breasted instead of the odd flap, and made out of oilskin. Pondering the possibility of change of hat styles. I've been watching a lot of Due South lately, so thinking that a campaign hat might be cool. I dunno, just feel like some change.
Yeah, I know i've not posted anything around here in a while. It's been kinda crazy. Get up at 6:30, go to class, then go to work, get home at 7 or 8pm, do homework till I pass out. It's It's been so crazy, I've literally not played ANY video games at all this year. Not even fired up the systems. BOOO URNS!!
Anyway, things suck. Still single. Haven't had a date in a long while. Keep canceling last minute, rejecting me flat out, or standing me up. Money is tight. Working minimum wage, 20 hours a week, and half of my pay check goes out in gas. Got sick again in February, and it just wouldn't fucking go away. Nasty ass cough for weeks.
My projects for the most part have gone by the wayside. If I have no time for video games, have no time to do, you know, anything else. Still waiting on a fucking check from google, should have had it a month ago. When things get to be not so crazy, hope to get some stuff done on a few of my sites, and have an idea for another, but definitely need to get a larger group of people together for. This one other person to help out shit is for the birds. They keep flaking out like right off the bat.
School, is a bit fucked up at the moment. Not too bad for the most part, but really hating my compsci class. It isnt because I am having issues with the information, but rather the teacher. Morbidly obese transgender with annoying speech issues, teaching without computers in the classroom, and caring more about how the stuff appears on paper (yes, we print it out, rather than showing how it runs, on a computer), than how shit functions. Doesn't like how you described something in the comments? Points off. Doesn't like how you organize your comments (like how I have my comments inline with the code it describes)? Lose points. Fuckin' A.
Work is good. Really like the place I work at, just paychecks suck right now. I do testing of IP phone equipment.
Anyway, thats all I have time for. May pop back in later.
Saw this flow chart of heavy metal names, and just had to laugh.
On a side note, I am forming a new band, Ëvïl Rëïgn. QUADRUPLE UMLAUTS!
(No, I didn’t want to call it Rëïgn öf Ëvïl because I am not sure if the world can handle that much awesomeness.)
