So, blah, I don't want to keep last night's minor meltdown there. Feeling slightly better, didn't sleep well last night, but then took a nap today with a cat sleeping partially on my head.

'Walk the Line' was good. Johnny and June rule.

It's windy today...like so windy I looked up and saw dust clouds coming off the mountains.

So, I feel lame and useless right now, about my life, about myself and about my current job. I'm floundering and I don't know how to get out of it. And it's always nice when those things are pointed out to you via email, while you're stuck in someone else's house with nothing of personal comfort anywhere nearby.

So, did Thanksgiving at my friend Mike's. His roommate's family was over so the friend and family vibe was nice. Rawr_ima_monster also came and made a kickass turkey cake and an even more kickass carrot souffle.

So, designing a video game is like...hard. Turns out there's all sorts of math and tables and values and integrating and balancing to think about...all at once. And it still has to be fun.

I've been working all weekend and my widdle frustrated head hurts.

However, I can say that when I was driving home from work at 3am last night, the nearly full moon...

Gray day...gray outside, gray on my friends list...gray in my underpants.*

*(Though the underpants in question are indeed gray, so I have not lost my flair with warshing my unmentionables.)


Take a drive baby up the coast, yeah highway 101
I'll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy and some are sad...

So, in lieu of of the sad news, here's a happy face in the interim.

And a pirate...

And a chicken...

And I wonder...should I go see Stryper...hmmm...it boggles the mind.

So, Monday sucks. The reasons will follow at the end of this completist ramble.

So, my puffin was back in town for the holiday weekend. I love Halloween and scary movies and spooky crap and all that. Friday was spent sexing up in ways that boggle the mind. We spent Friday night watching scary movies from the comfort of an aerobed island. Saturday we saw...
