Ok, so it's been forever since I've posted anything of even remote value here as far as what's going on with me, so here goes...  (List style inspired by Becky's post)

1.  New job = awesome.  I get to be a real engineer (shocking yet very nice considering my last job).  Also, perks are good.
-In January I put on my evaluation that I'd like to work ( Read more... )

Congrats on the promotion. Good luck with engineerin' for real.

And, yeah, making pots is a fun time. I can't say so much for dancing, of course. Anwyay, I've missed a couple of pot classes this quarter, on account of vacations and car troubles, so I haven't progressed very far beyond 'straight cylinders'. However, I have a couple of mugs I plan on glazing tonight, and I hope to make some more in the future. Let me know if you want anything :-P

On gaming, I recommend WoW. Or I don't, if you like having free time.

Thanks. :)

I made some pottery way back in elementary school, but not since then. Where'd you find the pottery classes, btw?

There's nothing wrong with straight cylinders. ;) Hrm...I wouldn't mind a straight cylinder...some form of pot or something?

Are you going to be coming back to the area at all this summer? I'd consider coming to see you, only problem is that the job I'm PSE on keeps getting dragged out longer and longer due to various delays & changes the customer makes, so I have no idea when it'll be done (originally was June 8th, now it's up to about August 2nd, and will prolly slide out even further)...makes it difficult to plan any vacations. :(

Yeah, I do kinda like free time, so I think I'll skip WoW. LoL. Oh, that reminds me...what was that game you had for PS2 that I thought was really cool - you had a guy and he could be good or evil... I've been trying to think of the name, but couldn't.

How're things with you?

Hrmm... Well, you're welcome to pretty much any piece I currently have, minus the ones my sister wants. I've got a few more coming out of the kiln next monday, so I'll post updated pictures then. -Or- I could make something for you in mind, a shape that you'd like... maybe something similar in form or color to something I've done? I've got a few orders to fulfill first (a few guys from work wants mugs), so a couple months should be added to a process that already takes a month :-P ( ... )

Will take a look and let you knew RE: nifty pottery

Understandable. Just let me know if you plan on being around. :)

I dunno about 'straightened out', but it'll get finished...sometime... Vacations aren't overly hard to come by, just difficult to work into the schedule. ;) I do have about 9ish days saved up thus far (I think...I can have up to 2 weeks, plus 3 'floating holidays'). Actually I think have up to 4 weeks saved up, just can't use it all...and I can go negative on vacation time.

It wasn't a game from recently....it was from when you were in the dorm still, in the 4-man suite. I remember coming over and watching you play it. The guy looked nice as long as you did good things (you could give him haircuts, etc. as I recall...and find wives)...but if you killed people & did bad things, he started looking meaner. For some reason, my mind kept coming up with 'Fate' as the name, but I'm almost certain that's wrong. I think the guy ages too...

Ahhhh! Okay, that was "Fable". Close to "Fate" :-P Yeah, it was alright as far as games go. I suppose I have lingering memories of dissatisfaction because the hype for the game was -crazy-, like all the stuff you could supposedly do. So when I played it, the limitations I didn't expect were glaring.

Anyway, it was an XBOX game, not PS2, butI think there was a PC version released with an expansion pack. They're making a sequel, where you can play as either sex (not limited to male this time), and where you can, as a male, get your wife pregnant. I think, as a female, you can get pregnant... I wonder if the adventuring "stops", and you just kinda have a kid. I don't know, I don't imagine being able to tussle with monsters with a child inside of you.

Yes! Fable! Y'know, if t=bl, then Fate does equal Fable. ;) (That's sad...I'm gonna move on now).

Ah, XBOX. Figures that's one of the consoles Tony & I lack. May not have been all that great, but it looked interesting at least. I'd try it on the puter, but I'd need a new one first. Was actually gonna look into it, but not sure what all to get and I don't think I could put it together.

A sequel? Interesting...

BTW, I just re-read The Golden Compass, currently re-reading The Subtle Knife, and just ordered The Amber Spyglass. :)
