Too late or too early to think. Going to sleep. Good interactive, had fun, write more later.

The 4 hour trip up here wasn’t too bad. Talked with Tom about all kinds of crap, mostly gaming though. When we got here, Tom had me convinced I had to finish looking over the module tonight. After falling asleep twice, I’ve decided to give up. I thought about doing a phone post, but felt it might be a bit wierd to be talking to my journal this late at night in someone else’s living room.
Anyway, I need to get some sleep. I’ll try to write more when I get the chance.

I’m having mixed feelings of anticipation and concern about this weekend. I’m going to go do this Slot-0 interactive in Tulsa and I’m still not sure if I’m excited at all about it. I think my excitement begane to wane when I realized that I’m not going to have a free weekend for the rest of the YEAR! Today, we’re leaving at about 7:30 to drive up to Tulsa. A 5 hour trip. I’ll be spending the night in the house of someone I don’t even know, helping out at the interactive Saturday by playing possible the hardest character in the module, sleeping a second night at the same house of someone I hope I know a little better, and then driving back 5 hours on Sunday, hopefully in time to go to the SOVA Holiday Party for work.
I was really excited about this interactive this summer, but since then, my excitement has diminished a bit. I don’t know why, but I’m just not as thrilled anymore. I think it’d be better if I didn’t have to go to Tulsa two weeks in a row (yes, I’m going back next week for the actual interactive). Oh well, I’ve voulenteered myself, I’ve made my bed, now I guess I have to lie in it.
I’m concerned about money again, and I still have yet to finish my christmas shopping. Unfortunately, as I said before, I’m not going to get a free weekend at all for the rest of December. That means I need to take a day off from work, just to do holiday shopping. I keep getting money in my account, and it keeps going away before I have a chance to shop for Heather. I need to “fill her stocking” as it were. For me, that usually costs $50-75, but right now, I think I have less than $50 and I have to buy her another gift and I’m still going out of town two weeks in a row, which means I need to pay for food. I’ve even sold over $50 in D&D books and I still don’t seem to be making any ground. I need to sit down this evening and figure out how much our joint account owes me because I’ve bought a lot of stuff for us out of my money. It’s an interesting ballancing act with our money, but it seems to work for the most part.
Damn, I still need coffee.

Well, no painting done today, but I got some shopping done and am eyeing something great for dad for Christmas/Birthday.
I watched Average Joe again tonight and I’ll be DAMNED if the big twist in this show is exactly what I predicted it to be from the first episode. I mean when Kathy Griffin announced the surprise, I was not shocked at all, only gloating with pride and glee that I was right on the money with this one. However, surprise or no, I’m actually more interested to see where it goes from here. I think that’s why I predicted it, it was the most interesting twist in my opinion.
RPGA activated the Master-Level GM test today. I failed it on the third question and can’t take the test again for 90 days. Bogus.
Aside from some problems late at night in the lab (thanks Steve), it’s been a nice evening. I’m going to bed.

The lab attendant this morning couldn’t remember if work started at 8:00 or 9. WTF? I can’t wait to ge the timeclock software in place. I know they’ll hate it at first, but they’ll learn to loathe it in time.
I played some more Green Regent this weekend. I haven’t decided which was better of the two I’ve played. The judge for the second wasn’t nearly as good as the first 
judge. It was only slightly less video-game-y than the first one we played, but still very much a combat romp. We almost got TPKed by a dire Badger (seems a little tough for 5 level one characters). Anyway, it was a good trip and worth the drive I think.
Oh well, time to go back to the office.

Tuesday evening: In the lab
Well, I didn’t write yesterday to say what a good weekend I had. I just never got myself in the mood to write. I often find that when I want to write in my journal, I either am not, or don’t feel like sitting at the computer. When I’m sitting at the computer, I’m just not in the mood to write. I used to keep my journal on my PDA, but that was really a joke. I was worse at it there than I was on this thing.
I played LotGR on Saturday. Had a great time. Really enjoyed playing in a game with Tim again, I haven’t played with him in years and I forgot how much fun it was. All I could ever remember were the horror stories, but I forgot that I really like Tim and his play style. We had a good time and managed not to die.
Sunday, I did a lot of nothing. It was great.
I’ve been a bad boy. I downloaded iTunes for one of the two PCs I have at work. It’s not the greatest music player/manager I’ve ever used, but it’s not bad. It rips CDs really slowly. So slow that I find myself impatient with it, even though it’s connected to a computer that just sits by my feet and does nothing all day. Maybe it’s just because I’ve had little to do lately so I end up staring at the cd tray waiting for it to eject. Yeah, pathetic.
Heather just informed me that we’re ordering food for dinner tonight on my credit card. I hate doing that, but we’re stretched a little thin so we’re gonna splurge on either pizza or wing zone. I liked the idea of hawaiian BBQ pizza at lunch, but I smelled fries in the hall earlier. Oh the drama!
I went to the bathroom and one of the toilets was missing. I mean the whole thing was gone, including the floor and wall around it. What does it say about me when the first thing I think is “I hope they don’t try to take the other one while I’m using it.”

I am a Lazy Bastard
I hate that I don’t wirte entries as often as I’d like. I kick myself every morning when I haven’t updated.
I’ve been up to a lot of the same lately. Work work work work work. Game, game, game. Let’s see what’s changed lately:

Early Morning
I’m sitting in the quite lab, once again wondering why the hell I get up here this early. Some sort of deranged dedication to the lab. I think I’m just so tired of people complaining about the lab and computer support, I’m willing to “martyr” myself to make things better. It’s pretty much just a hollow offering, but it’s slighly more than the least I can do.

Another Monday
Had a pretty good weekend. Looks like I might get really good at a weekly update but I’m beginning to doubt my ability to post more often than that.
