Long Dream Jan. 3rd, 2009 @ 10:34 am
I had a long strange dream which I remembered all of, for the first time in a while.

Amazing! Nov. 26th, 2008 @ 11:10 pm
Thanks to the miracle of Ethernet over AC, all of the computers in my apartment are actually up, functional, and no longer randomly dropping off the net or crashing any of my routers!

Woo?

Sleep, Interrupted Nov. 19th, 2008 @ 09:00 am

So, two nights ago, my insomnia was really bad and I slept awfully. Last night, I got to sleep at a decent time, so I assumed all would be well. But, alas, that was not to be.

First, I got woken up at 5:30 AM by a robocall with a 302 area code, wanting to know what meat I wanted at the barbeque. Press1 for mystery meat hamburgers, it said. I hung up before I learned what 2 was.

Then, after taking a while to get back to sleep, I got woken up again at around 6:30 by a pocketdial from a 301 number I didn't recognize. More awake time ensued.

Of course, after that, all of my dreams were about being woken up by phone calls. I woke up 2 minutes before my first alarm after dreaming that Ryan Seacrest had called to wake me up, and I was going to kill that obnoxious SOB.

Then, before my second (extra sleep) alarm went off, I dreamed there was a sev1 emergency at work and I had to get on a huge conference call.

At least this morning I'm just tired and not totally exhausted, though.

Political Fun! Nov. 1st, 2008 @ 12:40 pm
So, I actually replied to one of my father in law's conservative chain letters, and somewhat upset him. Hilarity ensues
fun! )

» Yay Stuff!
I had a great birthday weekend going to Victoria, BC. Pics are still in my camera, though, for two very important reasons:

1- Disgaea 3
2- Spore

Oh, Spore. With your nasty DRM and your flaky DVD that showed up blank in my system.

Too many game addictions, too little time.

So I don't clutter up your friend page with graphics )
» PAX, Part 2
Day 2 of PAX was a lot of fun, hung out with Matt, a former coworker from Allakhazam. The day mainly just consisted of hanging around and chatting with people, and going to see a showing of Nerdcore Rising. That, and getting tickets to the CCP party.
Oh, the CCP Party )

Sunday was pretty low key. Somebody with nice contact lenses, a really cool case mod, and roaming monsters are all I have for you.

PAX is awesome so far!  After waiting around in a crazyass line to get in for an hour, I hung out in the expo hall, chatted with the CCP people, played some of the demo of Warhammer Online, and saw somebody dressed in a pretty good white mage costume.

Then, I went to the musical guests panel.  At first, poor MC Frontalot was there all by himself, but eventually a whole shitton of other people showed up.  It was a pretty interesting, informative, and fun panel overall, but the real winner was that at the end, they all sang We Are The World together.

Plus, I got [info]dizzyb4  a prinny hat.

Wait, what?
» Operation: GOYAAWYLB
OK, so time to write this entry over again since it ate the first one.

Operation: Get Off Your Ass And Walk, You Lazy Bum has been a partial success so far!
You probably don't care about the details )
Also, now with Bonus Spam! )
» Cost Analysis (v2: updated Jul 14)
So, people have said the cost of living is higher here. That kept bothering me, as it felt like I wasn't really paying much more money in the end.
So, for my own benefit, I did what my dad probably would have told me to do: a cost analysis!
Cut because you probably don't care )
» Good Things
Getting over my head cold, finally = Good
Seeing Avenue Q = Good
New job starting soon at IMDb (in the Pro site division) = Good (hopefully)
Being in Seattle = Good

Yay
» Cat H8
So, now we can add another person to the list of people that our cat inexplicibly hates and wants to kill:


  1. Roy

  2. Alex (or maybe just his shoes)

  3. Josh's Socks

  4. The new Vet we took him to today



Our cat wouldn't even let this vet near him, he turned into a Whirling Cloud of Death anytime he got close. The vet said our cat was the Jeffrey Dahmer of cats! Meanie!

Time to try a second new vet!
» We are here!

We are moved in!  Sort of!  Well, we have the cat, us, and some basic furniture, so that's good enough for now!

» More furniture to get rid of.
Our new bedroom, while it will fit our bed better, isn't going to fit our other 2 pieces of furniture in the bed set, so we have to give them away!

I took pictures of them to give people some idea. Pretend they're not covered with stuff, from us clearing them out!

First up, the Armoire. Two shelves on the bottom, big area in the middle with an inset shelf on top. We've been storing blankets in it.
Next, the Dresser. Two sets of three drawers + a mirror on top.

If you want either, you'll need to transport it.. and probably help me get it out of the bedroom!
» Graduation / Moving / Please Take Our Crap Party
On May 24th, at 7pm, we're having a Graduation / Moving / Please Take Our Crap Party! Sarah's graudating from college, we're moving on the 27th, and we'll need to get rid of our remaining stuff and booze!

Come on down!

RSVP here, or email me!
» The 61
I was recently shown a music sharing online RPG digg-like sharing site thing!

I created an artist account on it.

If you sign up, I'm your referer! And if you like any of my three songs at all, bump one I guess =P
» Electronics Giveaways / Sales
Things I'm giving away:
- 3x large CRT monitors, 17-19"
- 1x midsize clear plastic tower case
- 1x Swiffer Wetjet, a few years old, but still new in box. I don't think they go bad.

Things I wish I could get money for, but am probably deluding myself:

- 1x stand-up office floor lamp, white, about as tall as I am

Things I'm junking probably:
- 1x large computer case with no sides or top or anything, used to belong to Rahul!
- 1x busted-ass filing cabinet
» More Stuff to Get Rid Of
In addition to my previous post...
This time, some appliances!

1- (available later) 10 year old CRT TV, 20-odd inches, on top of a little blue IKEA table that's just the right size for it, and shaped like a horseshow magnet on its side
2- (available anytime) Reptile tank, medium sized, includes water pool thingie, sunning rock, and a night and a day lamp
3- (available anytime) Rotisserie Oven, only used once. A tad larger than a microwave, to give a sense of scale.
4- (available later) A microwave. White. Works fine, just our new apartment comes with one.
