StrongMad challenged readers of his journal to update their journal every day for a week. In trying to do so, I realized that I wanted to talk about nothing but object oriented programming. Being that almost none of you but Fractured would know what I was talking about, it was better that that entry was left unsaid, and thus, there was no Tuesday update.

Make no mistake, my friend, we are the ones in the cages.
I saw Batman for the second time yesterday and would absolutely see it again.

I'm glad you're getting Java sorted. The large libraries can definitely be intimidating. It helps to have a good way to search the APIs.
Turns out I went to the zoo with my parents yesterday morning. It was my parents idea, maybe due to proximity. We walked there and if you've never crossed 99 via the walking bridges, it's kind of cool. Lots of old trees and they had new trees and plants in pots just inside the fence on the east side of the zoo.

it was super nice to meet you and Lanka. I'm glad you guys moved up here, you're definitely Seattle material.
whatever that means. it's supposed to be a compliment, but I'm not terribly good with them.

Yep, they bring in sand by barge. One of those things that's so strange it has to be true.
The story goes, I was a tender 16 years of age, shy in the ways of women and song, but a fairly talented amateur skateboarder. My father, recently divorced, was about to leave on his second legitimate date with the woman he had a strange sexless affair with over a decade previous. Somehow, they thought it would be cool if I met her slutty 15...

What parts of the GUI stuff are hard?

That's so much better than my virginity-losing story.
Taking StrongMad's advice, yesterday, I heartily besexed the darling Lankakitten. We seem to be having a sexual revolution of sorts over here in the Bellevue household. Her running out of birth control has somehow turned us into screwing monkeys.
It's quite nice. I didn't realize that we were in a rut until we left it way behind.

I don't think you ever really realize that it's a rut until you experience something outside of it. 
strongmad:
I think the "up" and "down" thing is universal, but maybe people who are on a coast don't have the over and out part. But if I'm going to Spokane I'm definitely going "over" to Spokane, and I think people go "out" somewhere west. At least growing up in the middle that's what we all called it.
And that's one hell of a revelation, mister.

I'm never so happy as when I'm on a mission. One of those people that can't multitask, write, or communicate with others well, real-life makes me frustrated and edgy. When I have a mission though, I can finally focus and plow through my target like a fucking atomic bomb. When I have a mission, I'm a greek god, a superhero, a transcedental being of purpose....

OK, I'm going over to PuzzlePirates right now to see what the fuss is all about...

I think your time would be better spent sexing LankaKitten.
You know what frustrates me? When an otherwise great TV show suddenly has a shitty season finale.
It's like the writers have a good season started and they're having the characters deal with problems that come up in their lives, and some good character conflict is getting set up -- and then all of a sudden one of the writers screams, "We're on episode nine...

what i hate, is when perfectly good tv shows stop making shows because they want to go out on top.
i'm not saying they should all go a million seasons, and churn out crappy shows once the spark is gone, but... at least wait for some sign of the series heading south. i'm thinking of six feet under (which i just heard was ending) and sex in the city (which i'm still bitter about).

Remind me again why a blowjob from a stripper is an unfortunate coincidence.
Hey guess what -- and I'm not fucking joking here -- my boss hired HOTTEST FASHIONS as a supervisor.

Strongmad wrote in his journal recently:
Its funny, when I got to SG, I was surprised at how innocuous most of the journals were. To me, it was an opportunity to keep a true journal, you know? Work stuff out, be creative, leave a record of where you are at a particular point in time.
I've realized over the past couple years from keeping a...

I figure journals are supposed to be about getting to know people so the mundane entries are part of that. In real life I don't expect fireworks every time I have a conversation with somebody and I put a journal on the same level of importance or thought as bumping into a friend every day or two. I think if I had a camera, that would add a lot to my journal. Photos of mundane life can be quite charming. That reminds me - I liked the pics of the Half-Life 2 level you're creating. What are you using to make it?
cosyne:
That would definitely explain where all my pie is going....
For the past couple of weeks, I've been working on a level for half-life 2 multiplayer called dm_atlantis, it's a pyramid under the sea. I've put maybe 40 hours into it so far and it's starting to piss me off.

You should do a level that has a river made of booze.

I used to mess around with a lot of HL editing. never got as much done as it seems you have though.
