 This week went by so quickly. I feel like I just got out of the SF & DGD show last Saturday. Been really busy at work as usual. I haven't been doing much consulting at all lately. I might have an appointment on Monday, but who knows, depends on whether or not I feel like it I guess. I've been sick, I think I caught it from a certain someone, blech! Oh well, I think I am actually starting to feel better, it feels like it's just in my head now. Nothing that some medicine and tea can't fix.

I've got a bunch of new games, so I've got to update the master list. I am thinking about just ex-ing off a bunch that I know I will never touch again. I played some Crisis Core this morning, was fun. I really do like that game, I actually might boot it back up once I finish this entry. So emilie is going to be gone for pretty much all of the next week which means I'll be alone here at the apartment all week! I don't know if I'll be able to figure out what to do!

I almost bought the WALL-E DVD today, but then I figured if I am actually going to buy a movie that it might as well as be on Blu-ray. Especially a movie like that.

Been talking to this guy (raf ) who does a bunch of Scribbld's CSS, he's really cool. He became friends with morgan  and then I met him through her. Definitely a geek genius! Poor Morgan has been going through a lot lately, but I won't go into to much detail, I'll let her tell her own story if she wishes.

I'm really enjoying this backlit keyboard, I'm sitting here with music playing on AppleTV in the dark working on various computer projects and I can see my keyboard perfectly fine. I think it would be really cool to pull it apart and replace the white lights with red or something, might even make it better on the eyes in the dark.

A lot of kids (okay 3 but in like the span of 2 weeks) having been dying at the University, it's definitely a little sketchy and it sucks. I don't/didn't know of any of them personally. Also my friends boyfriends brother died this past week so that was definitely not fun. I believe he was a grade above me in high school, I didn't really know him, or was friends with him, but it's pretty close to me...not sure I have much else to say about that subject.

I played some Resistance this afternoon. Definitely a fun game and it's just got a really good amount of difficulty to it, where I can stand it and it's not too easy and not too hard. Really well done, I definitely want to get the 2nd game.

I am really digging the NXE. Morgan and I share an account so it kind of sucks we can't have 2 avatars/characters, but that's understandable, you're not really supposed to be sharing an account, but considering I log in every other week or something it made sense for us haha That and she had been working on a game back when we first got Xbox and she didn't create her own account or forgot to log into the one she created so now she doesn't want to loose those gamer points she accumulated haha. Go figure...now my character is some blonde haired chick...

I haven't really talked to makkintosshu or Keith in a few weeks, it kind of sucks, but it just goes to show you how crazy busy we all are. I haven't even played GoW2 with either of them, suck!

Tonight, I think Emilie and I are going to watch The Dark Knight and maybe WALL-E...maybe some BECK too. It's rather cold here, it started snowing like crazy today! Anyways, I think I'll jump into Crisis Core and attempt to figure out why PSP doesn't support WPA2 as an 802.11x encryption protocol...grrr....!

As usual, another blog entry I forgot about...I would say this is about a week old...

Wow, I feel like I've not written in here in forever...

Last night I went to see Senses Fail w/ Dance Gavin Dance and Sky Eats Airplane and some other band...it was amazing. I've really got to buy another Canon point and shoot. My poor SD200 is pretty much useless...I might see if there's anything Clifford can do too it, maybe replace the flash or something.

Today I spent some time working on some site-wide CSS, although I didn't get much done. Tomorrow I am planning on getting the search box on the navigation strip working better. I think we might post some site contests for layouts (both of site and my journal) and give out free Paid Accounts to those that are worthy...I'll post more about that as we figure out some more details.

system:
Hey all, we'll be pulling the database server offline this coming Monday for approximately an hour to run some software updates on the system. I shouldn't expect it to take the full hour, but better to allocate the extra time just incase!

The update will start at 9am and run until 10am EST.

Thanks!

Happy birthday to deadcat_vagrant. Hope today is a grand one.

Motel has free internet; hopefully I'll get connected at some point.

Take care.

lauramcewan:
Not sure how far I'll go on this one as the POV bounces...

Pretty pictures of the boys over at gorgeousgeezers. David Soul courtesy shfan. Go loooook.

I'm at the point in this vid where I'm throwing shit up and seeing what sticks. *G* Why, yes, that is a lot of my method, lol.

Did more vidding. Did some laundry. Yakked up enednoviel because they day isn't complete if I don't get to talk to her. Took the kids to the orthodontist. Forgot to thaw anything for dinner. *facepalm* Burned a dvd of Criminal Minds. Am now listening to Bonnie Raitt "Angel from Montgomery." Did you know this song was a 1974 song? I sure didn't.

Gave birth to her baby boy at 4am on Tuesday.

My grandfather died at 9:05pm on Tuesday.

Sunrise, Sunset. The world keeps turning, lives march on.

lauramcewan:
for your kind and supportive comments. I really do appreciate them.

Funeral is Saturday morning, so we'll head out Friday evening and come back Sunday. My grandmother was remarkably talkative on the phone, but she's pretty shook.

My MIL called for the mailing address. That's too sweet; she doesn't have to do anything - I think she's only ever met them a bare handful of times when the babies were born and at our wedding. She's doing this for me and the kids. *sniff*

In better news, Katie's report card gives her a 3.67 GPA. Considering she was getting some lower grades at the midterm report, she's really pulled them up. *iz proud* She's earned As for Algebra, Language Arts, Science, and PE, and Bs for Social Studies and Health. The Health grade is really due to late work - turn it in late and it starts with a C. Considering she was at a C at midterm, she's worked at being sure her work is on time since. We're not sure what the Social Studies issue is, or maybe it's simply, that was her best work, and if that's the case, then good for her!

Been vidding all day in between laundry rounds. I'm about 2/3 done and it was the harder stuff. The rest should be pretty easy breezy. Will put in the Advent calendar. And SHers, there's still room in that Advent calendar for drabbles, art, vids, stories - come on, folks, let's fill it up! :) Drop a line to enednoviel.

---

I set Katie to making dinner. I can smell it so I think she's done it right. I have such a headache - crying even a little bit really brings them on.

www.kink.fm all day has been playing music from 1973, and at lunchtime they played the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. It was cool. They'll keep on playing '73 music until 10pm Pacific time (about four hours from now.) Tomorrow it'll be 1974.

twittering and vidding and writing will just HAVE to occupy my time. Oh, and job #2. I have a meeting at 11. Note to self: you are not on vacation from Job #2.

lauramcewan:

Damn, never finished this entry...oh well :P

lauramcewan:

I finished one vid - it's very rough and I'm not happy with it. Need to sleep on it and figure out what i need to fix.

I started a second vid. Hee.

I wrote a snippet.

Got Jayne to dance class. Dinner's in the oven. Laundry? Pfff.

Can I have two weeks instead of just one?

lauramcewan:
SHers....can you think of a scene where Hutch is gesturing between himself and Starsky, like saying, "you and me"?

---

Much, much progress made on a vid, hopefully for the Advent calendar. And a snippet. Go go fandom for vacation!

Got the paperwork faxed off to get my AmEx refund for the money it was paid twice, finally.
