This and that.
Hmm, haven't updated in a while.
1. Obligatory Caitlin talk. She's making progress on numbers, she can kind of count to 20 now. She still skips 3 (which I'm convinced she only does to be cute), and she confuses some of the teens, but she's getting there. She's also stringing words together now, using adjective-noun combinations. She can tell me she wants to read "duck book" now, which is a big step. To save Emily from having to drive out twice a week, I'm now getting Caitlin overnight on Saturday nights rather than Wednesdays and Sundays. So, my Saturday nights are tied up for the forseeable future, but I guess that gives me a little extra time during the week to feed my Necroplasm.
- Supposed to get my performance review sometime this week. With all the hours and stress I've been pouring into work lately, I'd better get a gold star.
C. Moving out on September 30th. Step one of the moving process is a trash sweep of the entire house, and THIS is a voyage of discovery, let me tell you. I put eight bags to the curb last night, and I'm not done. Incidentally, I have two 25"ish televisions that are up for grabs if someone wants to cart them out of there. They're sorta old, no remotes, coax-in only. Good for last-gen gaming systems or cable hookups, but not much else. If nobody I know wants them, I'll CL them or curb them.
I found some pictures of my 17th birthday party in a bag in my basement.
C.1. No, you don't have to help me move. I'm hiring movers. Two years ago I promised I'd never make my friends help me move again, and I'm sticking to that. You CAN help me drink beer at our housewarming party, however.
-> I'm playing Final Fantasy 4 DS, Team Fortress, and Bionic Commando at the moment, and I'm doing some MUDing again (the Necroplasm, by the way, is a MUD artifact that requires you to player-kill someone every couple days, a task I would happily indulge in even without its wraith-like tendrils infecting... nay, enhancing my consciousness). I'm also sorta idly fooling around with DMC4 and GTA4. On the horizon are Rock Band 2 and Force Unleashed... and rumors put The Lich King at November 4th. From there, it's Starcraft and Diablo 3. It's been nice knowing all of you.
* I'm pissed about the 4 GB memory cap for 32 bit machines. I wish I'd known about it and/or done more researching before buying my 4 GB 32 bit machine.
ñ. I'm doing the Decemberween party again this year. Saturday, December 6th is the tentative date. (BTW Chris, I'm doing the Decemberween party again this year, at our place) Standard caveat applies -- if you are reading this, and I do not wish to put your eye out with a sharp stick, you are invited.
