Tuesday : 11 April 2006
Today was… a day. I’m not entirely sure what happened, but somewhere around 10:00 this morning, it became “a Monday.” And not a good one. I could tell that I was getting in a progressively declining mood. I tried taking a late morning constitutional, hoping that it would help clear my head. It did… a little. But not enough. I spent the next hour trying keep my head down and just stay more or less “away” from people. Or at least as much as you can in an office. And it was at that point that I had a problem child show up at my desk. *braincramp* She’s a nice person and under normal conditions, we get along well; today, however, I was irritable… and she was being bubbly and Care Bear happy. Not a good mix. *sigh* I dealt with her in as calm and civil a manner as I could muster. Soon, it was time for lunch. Today, that meant a trip to the gym. *genuflect* I was able to work most of the irritation and angst out of my system. I felt considerably better post-gym. The rest of the day wasn’t as much of an obstacle course.

I came home and just… unwound. I found Don online and convinced him that we needed to save the citizens of Paragon City from the nefarious forces that had aligned against them. Okay… to be honest, it didn’t really take a lot of arm-twisting. We ran a few missions. I died three times. Blah blah blah. But, by the end of our run, I was out of XP debt and well on my way to Security Level 33. I wrapped up the evening with episodes of Batman: TAS and Superman: TAS.

Stray Toasters

  • I spoke with my mother this evening. She’s on “Spring Break” – since they don’t/can’t call it “Easter Break” – this week; she said that she hasn’t done a thing all week. Which for her is both an amazing (as in “unusual”) and a very good thing.
  • By way of Maximum PC: Fight Disease with your PC’s Spare Cycles (Team 11108)
  • GamesRadar.com
  • : A couple of items about CoH/CoV Issue 7: Destiny Manifest: 1, 2
  • I didn’t know (until a few minutes ago) that Carrie Fisher (yes, that Carrie Fisher…) is only 5′-1″ tall. She was just on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. She was witty and seemed to be enjoying herself.
  • The Harper’s Index
  • “Don’t you know who I am?” (Yes, this still amuses me.)
  • I just saw a promo for an upcoming show: Celebrity Cooking Showdown, set to air Monday night on NBC. Think Iron Chef… with celebrities. Nine Hells.

Namaste.
