So, I stayed up till about 7am playing WoW, so I'm glad I've got that under control. 
Oddly enough we've also been developing a new game that has some WoW similarities, so it's one of the few times I can say I need to play the game for work. Seriously...go figure. I'm guessing crack ho's have to hit the pipe to maintain the moniker, so...

So, addiction comes in many forms and the current one is World of Warcraft. However, this weekend, I wound up feeling really lazy and fat and super annoyed with the entire thing for a variety of reasons. It really is a way to escape your life and problems (and therefore the sometimes unpleasant REAL progress hopefully striven for in said life). I mean would it...

Gosh, I know exactly how you feel...
hrlyquinn:
I understand your dilema all too well. I broke away from Star Wars Galaxies a while ago but for Christmas a friend gave me City of Heros. I haven't tried it out yet because I know it will take over my life! Not good.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
So, I'm feeling a little more functional, but I still look at the well-worn travel coffee mug she left behind and touch it fondly. Yes, this makes me strange and demented, but such is love...particularly cross continent love.

so it's 1:45 and I've not been playing WoW. It's actually kinda nice to read and write. I can hear the guinea pigs playing behind me. I can hear my mom flipping pages as she reads The Hobbit in the other room.
I think I might call you, then go to bed. You becalm me.

So, 730A_Trixel_Fem is on a plane back home now. I am a very, very sad clown. 
Friday we went to my local pub to hang with several SG'ers (obd, thrashead, capnvik, suzy_kabloozy and rawr_ima_monster. Very fun group of geezers.
Saturday was Trixel's birthday. We had a delightfully late start to Disneyland. The Disneyland Hotel was perfect. We had a great...

trixel:
your surprise finally arrived today. I'm mailing it off to you by expressmail tonight.
darklis:
That's sweet. She makes you "not so surly a clown"
So, I've been busy trying to stay dry and otherwise be a vaugely productive human person.
In other news, the sadly now grey 730A_Trixel_Fem will be here on Friday...which could explain while I was up this morning at 3am scrubbing my toilet.
Her birthday is Saturday and for that we are going to Disneyland and spending the night at the Disneyland Hotel. There is the...

thrashead:
I had a great time hanging at Robin Hood last night. That's cool were practically neighbors. Hope you two had a great time at disneyland. Take care.
suzy_kabloozy:
Thanks, dude, that was fun! How was Disneyland?
So, in the last ten days I've both been busy working on the new company, working with the old company and conversely feeling like a lazy, worthless tard. Funny how that works.
In better news, in another ten days (give or take) the wonderful, splendiferous 730A_Trixel_Fem will be here. And then I won't care about any of the above.

Thanks for the well wishes. How exciting about your visitor!
tanja:
You are not a worthless tard. No, no.
So, I've met a few more SG denizens in person and many of them have been added to my friends list. Cool people all.
First real week of work at the new company. It's called The CMD Group. Or Command for short. (You know...like the command prompt C:\>. We will be the creative braintrust for the videogame industry. In the meantime it's a lot...

Here's my new hair:
sweetavenue:
Happy Vday!
So, things are still percolating. I got a haircut...thank god. I have a pic in my folder...yeah I could put it up here...but then everyone would see it and might spoil the mystery.
I think I will drop the people who have been gray for a long time on my friends list. This pains me, as I always think "maybe they'll come back and then...

btw nice puffins

Nice quote in your journal entry.
P.S. I'm back. I love all my SG friends. Life is OK, even if I have had bronchitis for 3 weeks, and probably won't have a job in another 4.

So, I still have a little hack, but oh well, I have things to do. I've gotten back to the gym and the new company is starting to ramp up into busy mode.
I have a long list of things to do...but I'm slowly getting back into productivity, thank goodness.

So, the hacking cough is hanging on, but no longer evil. Went out to a business type gathering at the Magic Castle on Saturday, which was nice. Then for sushi last night. And I'm a level 30 mutant defender now.
I need to go to the gym on a regular basis...I put holiday pounds on to my normal fat. Time to look a little less...

HELL-O SURLY!!!
STILL, Lovin' Those Puffins...How The Fuck are you??
I Hope All is goin well...I think you are probably one amongst MANY whom have looked at the Horrorday Debauch at X'Mas as an evil weight- gaining conspiracy...COME ON!! A Conspiracy with Christmas??
NOOOOOOOOOOO...
So, I Know That it has been far too long since we have actually 'talked' but I figure that with some folks...Such as yourself, I am finding it hard to even think of HOW the HELL Could I forget you...Unlike others whom once thought they would remain unforgettable based on their name in my friends list alone...and That is just not the issue with you...
SO...
...Yeah, Yeah..It IS That Time Again, But If I didn't think you may actually want to be reminded, I wouldn't be here...As is the case with many "Lurkers"...But The Rest of us have THAT beat... Still, It's A Shame I haven't seen you for awhile...I am awful at keeping up with folks...So Feel free to cyber kick my ass into Oblivion...I Deserve it.
You Know where The Info is, and First question goes up tonight...(There are going to be four)
Hope to see ya, if not in The Apothecary, then perhaps I will just have to remember whom I want to remember...and I could never forget about you, Surly...I can sing some Nat King Cole if u wish... (UM.......No.)
Hope to hear from ya, and that life aint all about those X'Mas Pounds!!!

sweetcheeks:
I am sick too. Bronchitis. I'll start antibiotics tomorrow. *cough* I probably got sick because I took the romper room plane ride back from london. There were a lot of kids on board.
So, I've been oh too slowly shaking my phlegm and haven't been sleeping well as a result of hacking. Not even my dear friend NyQuil can give me a good night's sleep. And that saddens me.
On the professional side, I'm working with a new company, one whose name I'll be able to proclaim to the world...as soon as the lawyers clear it. In the...

People that make forts are pretty rad, too.
I think I'll make one now.

kestrel:
I suppose I'll be seeing you in March?
So, I spent the weekend listening to the non-stop rain, hacking up phlegm, and playing City Of Heroes on my cool shiny new Dell computer. That is all.

rawr_ima_monster:
ah, how many times have I heard the matt roommate story...sigh, remeniscence.
It's really not that bad an idea, though there aren't so many local candidates that it makes much sense. So far, I think my chart's got it sorted...I've decided what questions I need to ask people and asked them and reacted to their responses by either returning communication or deciding they're on the bottom of the pile. I haven't had much positive feelings about any of the local people, and I just had like a 30 minute conversation with a guy from out of town, and I think he's basically the top candidate.
I guess if nothing else worked out from the few other possibilities I'm willing to continue considering, I'd be more than happy with this guy, from all that I can tell. I'm really not sure I'd even know any more if I actually met him in person, beyond if he was horrifyingly disfigured. He'll be in town sometime next week and said if I want to wait until we can meet he's cool with that, but I think ultimately that's screwing both of us over.
-He's got a test with the DGA or something at the end of January, and he brought up both paying me in advance and offering a deposit all on his own...I think it could work.

I was kidding (!!!) about my being old, and didn't mean to make any caveman implications about anyone (though kudos for the reference). It's just odd being in class with a lot of people who have a very different set of cultural references. 
Puffin, clown of the sea.
P.S. What's WoW?
