*sigh*

Looks like I'm saying goodbye to the weekend. Civilization IV is now installed on my computer.

Soon, the Mongol Hordes of the Great Khan shall be riding throughout the entire world. The people of the world shall be united under the Banner of the Eternal Blue Sky!

Sometimes I wonder what effect my favourite bands, movies, books, and artists has on what people think about who and what I am. When I look at someone's profile, I check to make sure there aren't any things that I greatly dislike and actively avoid, but other than that, I don't really figure any of that into whether or not I think they're interesting or...

I'm trying to make some calls in order to set up a morning and/or afternoon meeting in order for the mileage to be covered through my job -- and get some work done in a town with members I've been trying to track down since I started working. Don't know what the hell...

I have to put a dent in my reading...
