New Icon. I made it myself. I think I did a fine job.
Compare it to their quality of art and tell me what you think.

I try not to do quizes, and when I do do them (heh, I said “do do”) I try to put them behind a cut, but sometimes you have got to ask “how do they know, HOW DO THEY KNOW!?”

You are Penny Arcade! Edgy and sarcastic, you cut through the stupid mundanity of everyday life, but mostly the world of computers and video gaming. While you are hilariously funny, no one will ever know if you never go outside. Put down the controller and get some fresh air.

I’m going to OwlCon tomorrow. I’m trying to figure out why I’m not as excited about it as I should be. I think it may be because it’s not Winter Fantasy. It may also be because I played so much RPGA the last two weeks, I’m already ready for a break. Maybe I’ll take a large chunk of this upcoming month off. I’d almost just rather stay home and play BG:DA2 all weekend but I’ve already registered and am set to play so I might as well suck it up and go. Especially since I’m the driver. 😉
Actually, I think it’s mostly because of the money problem. We’ve not been doing well so far this year (and it’s only a month into it). I think we’re just still reeling from Christmas and the trip, even though we both did really well at keeping in our budgets for gifts and what not. I think a lot of this feeling may be coming from now much I got screwed by the bank at the end of January. I’m hoping February will be nicer to me, maybe I’ll be more positive at the end of the month.
Anyway, they’re doing a key audit on campus and I think I’m about to get screwed by that. They’re claiming I have keys that I think I either returned, exchaged, or was never given. Example: why the fuck would I ever have two building master keys? I didn’t lose one, I never got a replacement, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have two assigned to me. I don’t know if I can argue this because it’s like fighting red tape, it doesn’t submit, it has no emotion, it just sticks and lives to tie you down. I’m going to tear through some of my standard “key homes” tonight and see what I’ve got. Two master keys, I guess I’m a double master of the building then. Sheesh
It’s been a good day so far today (key audit aside). I’ve been working off and on and have been overly successful at pretty much all the taks I’ve set out to do today. It’ll be a good way to end the week (a day early I might add). Now all I have to do is pack and make plans to pick everyone up (better send that email). Hmm, wonder how much I can make as a gigolo on Rice university during a con. I gotta eat ya know.

So last nigtht I dreamt I was watching/in a movie… it was about my mother and how crazy/obsessive she can be, oh, and Santa Ana if he were alive today.
The soundtrack was all early 80’s synth-pop (erasure, yaz, depeche mode).

So I was playing Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II again last night and I think I’m passed borderline disgusting straight on to stoopid.
I was doing fuck-tons of damage last night, like, the actual definition of fuck-ton was “see how much damage Kacey is doing with his barbarian.”
I was doing so much damage and killing things so fast, even Heather, who knows nothing about this game or D&D said, “that was pretty anticlimactic” when I killed a troll in one swing, doing almost 400 points of damage with one of my two swords. I almost felt bad for him. Almost. Then he brother came out and I killed him in one swing, too. A Chimera is supposed to be this fantastic creature. I mean it’s no dragon, but it’s got wings, it’s got three heads, it does all kinds of nasty shit. Except to me. Sheesh. When he was flying, he was safe, but when he landed… BLAMO! Two or three swings and he was toast.
And tonight I should upgrade my Scimitars to GreatSwords.

God I wish I could draw. I think I would realy enjoy it. Instead, I just draw like crap and get frustrated with it.

I downloaded a new peice of software to try out on my PDA. It’s called Ultrasoft Money and it’s basically a portable version of Microsoft Money which is what Heather and I use to keep track of all our banking. I get really bad about keeping receipts in my wallet and such, so I thought, since I keep my receipts in my pocket for so long and don’t ever enter them into the “checkbook” I shoudl carry the checkbook with me and enter them in right away. This Ultrasoft Money think is awesome. It does everything Money needs to do in your pocket, including auto entering data and such. It makes entering receipts a piece of cake. So not only do I know exactly how much money I have, but then I can take it home and sync the PDA and it will enter all that stuff into Microsoft Money on the computer.
The only problem is that it’s $40 and I don’t have that kind of money, even though, technically, it will save my hundreds in bank fees since I’ll be more on top of my finances. Like, I last looked at my account information at home on like Saturday morning and I had $47 dollars. Since then I’ve bought two things and now have only $41, but if I wasn’t entering the data in immediately, I’d only be guessing at ammounts rather than being able to say for certain. Now when I estimate how much money I have, I often get off by $4-5 which can mean the difference between being okay or being overdrawn. When I get overdrawn, because of the delays in posting with the check card, I can often buy two or three things, thinking I’m still okay, but actually being overdrawn before the bank and I realize. Then they charge me $33 an item for being overdrawn. So really, if this software even keeps me from being overdrawn once, it’s almost paid for itself.
I’m also trying to make more and more reasons to carry my PDA with me at all times because often it would be really helpful to have it, even though I tend to forget it a lot. By finding more and more ways it can save my life, I’ll be more likely to pick it up and slip it in my pocket when I leave the house. Oh well. I guess I really should find something to do rather than just writing journal entries.

Wow, I suddenly became very bored. I have small things I could be doing around the office, but nothing pressing. Everyone’s at lunch and I’m here all by myself. It’s quiet and I kind of want to go home. Damn.
I wonder what I could be doing. I could work on my D&D Web Page or just write stuff for the new world I’m developing, but I’m feeling somewhat un-inspired lately. I’ll probably sit here and relax a bit more, then consider writing a bit. Gotta get that game off the ground eventually. I wonder who’s gonna play in it.
