I’ve not posted for a week, and probably will be scarce for two more, at least. As I mentioned in a previous post, the pace at work has hit Warp 9.5. When things slow down enough for me to think straight, I’ll be back to posting random observations and botched movie quotes. Whee!~H
Month: April 2009
Friday at Last!
Woo hoo! (By the way, I find it funny that spell check underlines hoo, but not woo.) On the way home today, I saw one of those gas pipeline way stations enclosed in a chain-link fence. My first thought was, “ooh, random encounter!” Why? Because I played Fallout3 so much, and several zones in Fallout3 […]
Hockey Night
I’m watching/listening to a hockey game tonight, so a bit distracted. However, I’ve got pics for you from my ever-exciting workplace! Specifically, pics of something that helps keep me sane. Pre-squeeze… Post-squeeze… How awesome is this toy? Smooshing it when I’m thinking (or fuming) has helped lots, so a heartfelt thank you to the lovely […]
Urrgh
Brain no worky. I think I used up all my writey mojo on proposal stuff today. That’s okay, though; the warm fuzzy acquired from actually making progress is worth it. I don’t want to be lame and leave a super-short post for tonight, but seriously, nothing is coming to mind in the way of topics. […]
Short and Sweet Post
Well, short, anyway. It’s late and I’m too tired to go extra-verbose like I did last night, as fun as that was. Almost as fun as shooting pixelated zombies! That hobby helps keep me sane, but I’ll not have much time for it in the next few months. Work is going to make up for […]
Addendum to Monday
As I went to sleep last night, the thought occurred to me that some folks could have taken my third zombie escape tactic the wrong way, because some people are touchy like that. My intention was not to bash all people who have kids. Far from it. People like my friend Renee, who actually loves […]
Again?!
It’s Monday again already. How the devil did that happen? We were rocking along, it was the weekend, we had some creepy weather, we did some laundry, we watched the new James Bond film, and then bang! Smacked in the face with a workday. Unlike weekends, weekstarts just never get easier. At least I get […]
Saturday Addendum
Yesterday’s post bugged me as I went to sleep last night, but I couldn’t put my finger on why. The reason hit me this morning, and is only a manifestation of my compulsiveness: I didn’t list all my games. I left out Might and Magic 6 through 8, Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Descent3, Freespace […]
Friday Frustration
Yesterday’s post was preempted for dinner and hockey, but I’m back tonight. Today’s post is going to center on games other than hockey, though. Specifically, computer games. I’ve been an avid PC gamer (not particularly talented, but avid nonetheless) since I discovered Heroes of Might and Magic (HoMM) II in graduate school. I graduated from […]
Werk Werk
Today was a rather weird, slow-motion day at work. Flurries of activity intermingled with intense periods of “omgwhyisitnotfiveoclockyet,” which made some of us rather grumpy. Attempting to cheer myself up, I decided to put some helpful guidance on one of my office doors (I have two). See, some folks like to use my office as […]
