Attacked by energy vampires
Last night I had another “dead” night, where I collapsed soon after I got into bed. I’m not sure what to blame it on – yesterday was a stressful day; I spent a lot of the day outside in humid 90-degree temperatures; or it may have just been the position of Mars in respect to Vega.
I feel awake this afternoon, we’ll see how long it lasts.
Nothing much going on this weekend. Everyone I’ve contacted down here is busy, but a quiet weekend might be a good thing – I haven’t had one of those in a while!
Yes, it’s the comments thing
I couldn’t help myself. The power of lemmings compels me! The power of lemmings compels me!
I should never have asked him to grow *those* plants

Almost makes me wish I could play Morrowind.
I thought I’d been feeling more mellow than usual

We regret to announce the untimely demise of Mikhail, who on the 19th of April of this year was savagely bored to death by passing aliens. This unfortunate incident occurred in an anthill behind an outhouse. The deceased was reported to have shouted “Cripes!” just before expiring. Mikhail is survived by a bunch of cats, who could really care less. Funeral services will be held the 3rd of next month.
Random Obituary Generator of Doom
The visible parts of the letters read *what*?
Discovered last night the hard way that certain fansubs are built on computer to be viewed on computer – in other words, the subtitlers added the dialogue to the very bottom of the video image, an area which doesn’t completely display on many tube-type TV sets. Growl.
The most noticeable downside of this new job is that I have plenty to do simply keeping people’s computers running, and am not involved in the game creation process at all. The conversations I hear while doing yet another re-install sound so interesting, too! But then, I probably get paid more than the entry-level creative people. Oh well.
Downtown Norfolk is quite toasty today – at least the second floor air-conditioning is finally up to snuff this afternoon.
Climbing up on Salisbury Plain
I’ve got a desktop picture of Stonhenge, and it just occured to me… every picture I’ve ever seen of Stonehenge (“one of the biggest henges in the world”) has it backed by a moody gray sky.
Is that the result of photographers looking for the ghostly feel, or is it just that a sunny day over Stonehenge is rarer than Merlin giving interviews on Sky News?
First weekend back
Got back to Virginia Beach this evening, from a weekend trip back to Roanoke. Got some more of my personal things, but more importantly, got to spend time with Rain. It’s going to be a while before I see her again, which sucks rocks. Big chunks of volcanic pumice rocks, still blistering hot too. 🙁
But I did get to see her, that’s what’s important. Even got to see rhaps and shrewlet for a bit on Saturday, and trenn for an even briefer bit.
I should be back up in Blacksburg in two weeks, to catch up with calandra and much of the B-burg crowd. Jesse Braxton told me to pass along her regrets that she won’t be able to come up that weekend, but life made other plans for her.
Weird drive. Because of the deep layer of cloud cover over Roanoke, and the clear skies over Norfolk, this is one of the first afternoon drives I’ve taken where the sky got lighter as the afternoon wore away.
Yubbie’s not dead- yaaaayyy!
Happy birthday yubbie!
I second eeedge‘s comments – LJ makes it so much easier to keep track 🙂
Driving home every day, I drive past the Holiday Inn where they held a lot of Sci-Cons and at least one KatsuCon that I know of. Ahhh, memories.
Got home a lot quicker today, since my car was where I left it.
Today I met the art department, who gave me a nice welcome seeing as they’ll only see me when something’s wrong. Of course, I’ll be coming to fix it, so I guess I would be a welcome sight.
The mall a block away from work (where I park) is huge, four floors. I am trying to avoid going there because I don’t want to spend money, and don’t want to wish I could spend money.
That’s all for right now.
Dude, Where’s… oh, you know.
it’s about a 10-minute walk from work to the parking spot. Good exercise, unless it’s raining. But when I walked back to the parking garage today, my car was completely gone. I looked for it for 30 minutes of ever-increasing panic.
Turns out that this place has two completely identical parking garages. I was in the wrong one. Grrrr.
Anyway, the people at Decipher are very nice, and I’m thinking I’ll do fine there. Though I don’t have my own office, my desk is in an isolated corner, which felt a little weird – I’ve never worked that far away from co-workers before.
I’m pooped. Probably go to bed before too long.
