Fresh Week Ahead

I really should be in bed but between catching up on some games along with cleaning up and awarding myself with watching some anime it kind of resulted in me still being awake...that along with washing cloths and charging my MP4 player when it was dead...like 0% which never happens but I'll get to that.

This morning I got out of bed a bit later than I would care for and wasn't out the house till about 7:32ish. Based on my commute, which is down to a science, it takes me about 30-35 minutes to get to work. Got stuck behind Baron Slows@Greenlightsalot.com but none the less was in the office at about 8:05. Work wise it was a mixture of busy and calm. The person that normally reviews our work before it goes out to production was out last week so their busy trying to play catch up. A lot of the work I'm doing is very deep in research and running into walls which don't have immediate answers. I'd say probably around 3ish/4ish is where I was at a complete dead end and a lot of my questions won't be address until Wednesday when I have a meeting, which hopefully will generate some answers. After work was done went out to dinner and such with a friend to play catch.

Dinner twas at IHOP where she had endless shrimp and I had endless pancakes. Towards the end I couldn't finish all my pancakes (had 6 already) so she consumed the last 2. There was much talk about her rabbits b-day party which I missed due to well...budget wise as I'm trying my best to keep cost down this month partly due to a) Magfest last month cost a pretty penny and b) I kind of want to see how low I can go and use that as kind of a pseudo base line. Though after hearing about the absurd amount of cooking was probably best I stayed in. I'm hovering around 178 at the moment and don't plan to break the 180 again any time soon. Equally for the most part there seemed to be a lot of talking...that's about it. I don't mind talking myself but gotta mix it up with some means of entertainment imo. Her bunny (reason for the party) had a great time too chewing on various foods which were provide via the guest. She also found a new possible bf which is another +1.

I honestly didn't have too much to say myself as the last few weeks have been nothing but work and small bits of gaming in between along with nailing out the list of objectives I've been establishing on a weekly basis. She seemed to approve which another person on the approval wagon is always a plus. After the meal we went to Micheal's where she picked up a few things and then we parted ways. I wanted to leave early so I could get stuff done and get off to bed early... that was definitely not the case.

Got home and didn't really feel motivated so figured I'd play some HoN...had way too many crappy rounds and after an hour and half I gave up went off to wash cloths and organize my end tables. During this however my sister and her bf were over as well along with the new born baby. Which of course required a small bit but not a lot of my attention as my dad was handling most of it. Of course he was doing his silly 'hey look at your uncle the dork/geek/nerd over there' which to be honest doesn't phase me as I know that's my creed. Its like say 'hey look at my dad the old man over there'. Big deal wanna fight about it? I did finish organize my end tables but it took a great deal longer to organize than I originally thought.

Remember when you were a kid and you kept shoving stuff under your bed and eventually you look under their and find out that you some how created some creature from your worst nightmare. Kind of the same situation here. I no longer put stuff underneath my bed (broke that habit well over 7 years ago) but I do have a habit to place stuff on top of tables and such. Which once one table fills up I go to the next. The only exception is my computer area as I make it a duty to clean it once a week. In all honesty it wasn't really a lot of stuff as more so gray area stuff such as college transcripts, cd jewel cases, bday/xmas cards. Those sorta things where you might find a use for them or feel bad throwing them away. After about 2 hours though I finally finished that up and by that time my sister was heading out.

It was already approaching 10:30ish which I knew was my predetermined bed time but I said screw it and watched Dragon Ball Kai episode 93. I'll find out in the morning if its worth it. About an hour after that I was just chatting with friends and hear I am now...blogging but the blogging is a must. I must succeed.

Side note...If I don't end up going to a friends place later on this week I'll do another random 'unplugged/rant' session. It got a good bit of views (3 yay). Also special note to the Swedish visitor as I see the node pop up green now on the stats page.

Anywho I'm off to bed now thanks for reading!

Edit: Bah before I forget Portal 2 is now avaliable for pre-order...just sayin'.
