A very long day

Got up at 4:15 a.m. to leave at 4:45 for what Katie and I thought was a 6:00 flight but was actually a 6:30 flight. It was a good thing we had that extra half an hour, because on the shuttle from long term parking, we stopped for a good ten minutes because some lady wanted to file a complaint that she slipped and fell in the parking lot or something stupid like that that couldn’t wait because she had a 6:30 flight and of course none of the rest of us on the shuttle were in a hurry or anything so we sat at a stop while the driver was on the phone with his supervisor or something.

That’s just 5 a.m…. there’s still 20 hours of this day left.

It’s finally happened…

As some of you may know, I haven’t had the best of luck playing Magic: the Gathering lately. And by “lately” I mean for the last 9 months or so. I’ve been on a losing streak. A bad luck streak that’s turned into a belligerent sort of “giving up before I even start” type of thing. Everything has been going wrong, most of which is out of my control (yes, I’m not so ignorant that I’ll say none of it is my fault. I make mistakes).

Magic Complaining Within

The weekend

The three day weekend is over. Poopie.

I spent most of yesterday at home trying to shake off a sinus headache which is still lingering, and had to miss ‘s Mini-Q.

Following my weird inclination to play Super Metroid, I played and beat Super Mario World on Saturday and Sunday. I’m now working through Super Mario World 2. Who needs a PS2 when you have an SNES?

I sorted most of my M:tG cards over the course of the weekend. Damnation, I sure have a lot. It’s like gambling… you don’t spend the money to make money, you’re spending it to have fun. And it’s been fun, really it has. I finally won a prize for the first time in a long long time at the game on Friday night.

It’s weekends like these I’m glad I live with other people. Once you reach critical mass, you don’t have to worry about having to go out to be social, the people come to you. Speaking of which, when’s Nati leaving… hmmm…. that boy played waaaaaaaaaaaay too much Everquest this weekend.

Recent discussion about the future of LJ have gotten me thinking that I really should be contributing to the codebase / maintenance… writing web-based applications is something I… well, I get paid to do it, full time. You’d think I could probably have something to contribute.

I still can’t get over the fact that out of three days off, I spent probably a grand total of two hours sitting in front of the computer. Considering that on a typical evening I spend twice that staring at the monitor I consider it a good thing.

Okay, I just looked at my last name and thought it was spelled wrong when it wasn’t. This is a sign that I should go to sleep. Good night…. or maybe I’ll play some more SMW2…
