December

So, skimming over my birthday (Nov 4), election day (Nov 4), thanksgiving (Nov 21), and any other exciting November holidays, it brings us to that awkward "Happy Holiday Season, if you choose to celebrate anything at this time of year" time of year.

Me and my cat find ourselves at my parent's house. My car is dead and the roads are a sheet of ice. No way out even if I needed one. Hopefully, and ideally, I will have a vehicle of some sort by the end of this week/beginning of next week to head home with.

I have been biding my time doing a few useful things, but mostly just leveling on WoW. If I would only play one character, it would be a lot simpler. But for me, it is more of a social thing, I guess. Sure, I enjoy playing, but I log on/off several different servers to see if anyone I know is online. When I find someone, I play whatever I have on that server. Thus I don't have one high level, but eh... it works for me.

I should find something constructive to do to fill the next few days of my time, but I don't feel like it... This whole semester has been that way: Blah. No thanks. I'll do something else. That could explain my grades...

That whole situation is not good right now. I am waiting to find out my GPA to see how it going to affect the rest of my college career. I am trying to plan for working and classes and trying to get out in less than 5 years. We shall see if I can do it.

back again

Wow. It has been a while since I remembered that this blog existed...
But what a better time to start writing again than now! [Now being a summer full of long, uneventful hours at work with little to occupy my time.]
Great! So, where to begin...

Well, I am exceptionally tired. I usually go home, take a nap for 2-3 hrs, do random things (which usually consists of/includes playing World of Warcraft for an hour or few), and typically still get to bed before midnight; only to wake up exhausted at 7. I don't understand it. Perhaps I am just not getting restful sleep. Humm... perhaps I will try a night on the futon, as it makes a wonderful nap place. :]

I've spent my hours at work (when not working) emailing, chatting, generally surfing, making a database of all the phone numbers I have (need to work on that some more...). I think the next thing on my list of non-work work tasks is to bring in my notebook and update somberlife.

My slyness amuses me, and yet I have to wonder just how obvious I am sometimes. I keep open Dreamweaver on one monitor and the Photo Gallery on the other monitor (yes, I have two monitors - it's great :P), or other "important" looking work tasks. And then on top of that (and/or) somewhere in the background I keep all sorts of other things that I am actually doing. Point in case, on top of Dreamweaver, I currently have a very small WordPad doc open into which I am typing this, and then every paragraph or so, I c&p into [Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Tab] my Blogger window.

Heh... much ♥ to keyboard shortcuts.

I think I am going to try and find something 'real' to work on for a while...

Age of Empires

I was going through some old games earlier and found AOE. omg, I hadn't played that in SO long. And, of course, I couldn't resist, so I've spent the past 2 hours and 9 (count them, 9) minutes fighting "the little red people." ha, I can never keep straight what the names are.
Anyway...I did win, my wonder stood for 2000 years (but of course I set it to super easy *blush* but this was only after I did loose 2x).
