Month: April 2004

Okay, so I talked about the new groups and variations on my journal available and one that didn’t work My Blog and MoBLog Feed Together didn’t work. Well, I figured out how to make it a public friend group, so it may work now. Go ahead and click it and tell me what happens.

Well, I finally met mandroid and she’s pretty much as cool and
laid back as I anticipated. Its too bad all her other Denton friends backed
out and didn’t show up. I felt bad that my lame ass was the only one there
to keep her company. We knocked back a couple and chatted, her more than
me, me being all introverted and shit. She was funny and I had a good time
hanging out with her. I felt bad that Heather wasn’t there, I know she felt
“wierd” with me going off and meeting some other woman at a bar. ‘Manda was
sorry Heather couldn’t/wouldn’t come out too. I don’t think I was very
entertaining, I had planned to stay until 8:45 but I ended up taking off
before 8:30 even. Sorry ‘Manda, I don’t start telling the good stories
until the fourth or fifth beer.

We talked about work, movies, titty bars, rednecks, dogs, beer, etc. It was
fun even if I was a little quiet.

Now I’m hanging out in line for Hellboy,#3 in line baby! I’ll try to write
more this weekend.

“Jesus died for our sins, God Damnit!”

“We have one fucking life, no need to stress over it, just live it as best we can and find every little enjoyable morsel in the wrinkles.”

Well, my jaw and ear are feeling much better today. I started taking some antibiotics heather had left over from some other infection. Nervous as I am, I looked up the prescription and it’s actually one of the four typically given for ear infections, so I feel pretty good. The dosage is a little larger than I read for most ear infections so I’m only taking two a day instead of three. Things seem to be getting better for the weekend.

The game went pretty well last night in my opinion. Even when we stopped to bullshit and just hang out, everyone was involved, none of this “oh, well the four of us are going to talk about UO and the rest of you can go fuck yourself” kind of bullshit. Things were a little slow to start since a) it was the first session of a new system for all of us and b) Spycraft has what’s called a “gearing up” phase of the mission where you get extra money to buy equipment for the mission (in addition to your regular equipment) and that took a little longer than expected. I’m going to try to get the mission briefings ready ahead of time from now on and the players can make shopping lists before the session even starts. That way when it comes to the gearing up phase, they’ll already have a good idea as to what to pick up. It should make things go a little smoother. The session involved very few dice rolls, which I dont’ have a problem with, and everyone seemed to get to do their fare share of RP. It was still kind of the opening scene, so we’ll see what happens next time. I guess I never determined if this was an every week, every other week, or two on/one off kind of deal. I guess I should email everyone.

Okay, email away!

So tonight I’m planning on going to Cool Beans for a bit, and then possibly going out and seeing Hellboy (if Derek is interested. He mentioned something about it Wednesday, so I’m waiting to see what he says. He should be in the shop around 11 and hopefully be on ICQ/AIM shortly after that.

I had a lot of fun making Craig’s icons yesterday, so much so, that I’d love to spend some time this weekend making more. I found some new tools that make creating icons a little easier, including a little free application that will actually strip almost any video format down to a (long) series of jpegs or gifs. So I’m going to play around with it a little today while I mess with the GALMAC Brochure.

Anyway, I guess I should get to doing some work. Have fun boys and girls, and have a great weekend. Expect lots of pictures from me on my MoBlog

Here’s more icons. There are actually ones Craig requested as opposed to the Craig Fart icon.

shit, maybe I do have an ear infection afterall.

Maybe its just psychosematic, but ever since Steve said he had an ear infection, I’ve been thinking back to how my ear and upper jaw has been uncomfortable since last night. I’ll wait a couple days and see what’s up, but I really don’t want it to be an ear infection. I haven’t been to the doctor in a really long time and I don’t want to break my streak. Damn Steve and his hot tub, I’m sure that water was full of ear infections waiting ot land in my ears and fuck with me.

Anyway, to add to our illness, Heather and I woke up with wierd bites all over us. They’re little red bumps that are a little painful to the touch, but not too bad. We’re not slovenly people, we live more or less cleanly, so we don’t know what the fuck is up.

And I guess I should mention, since I’m talking about how my body is breaking apart right now, I’m not wearing deoderant today. I hope my Boss doesn’t notice. One of my underarms has a kind of pimple like bump on it. I remember when I was younger, living at home, my mom bought this (spray on) deoderant my dad and I weren’t used to and we both complained about a wierd reaction shortly afterwards. Maybe this is the same kind of thing, so I didn’t want to aggrivate it by putting on more deoderant. Sorry if I offend.

Wow, I’m just a mess today, now I’m kind of dizzy and spacey… seeing stars. Maybe I’ll stay home this afternoon and just try to focus on how to begin my Spycraft game.
