Braindump time.
Alright, let's go in order.
1. Work is pretty awesome. I've been selling pretty decently, next paycheck should be nice. So we'll see.
2. Speaking of, I got paid on Saturday, so me, Doc, and Dennis all went down to Denver yesterday. Went to Cheeburger Cheeburger, ordered the biggest burger they sold, (20 oz. of ground beef before cooking) and somehow finished it. Dennis did the same. There is now a picture of the three of us on the wall of the restaurant. We then went exploring a local mall (Flatiron Crossings; has a significant, well-engineered outdoor area, I approve) then decided to go try to explore Boulder. Unfortunately, when we were almost there, we got word that weather was getting progressively worse up north, so we decided to hightail it the two hours or so back home. By the time we got to the state border, we were in the middle of one hell of a blizzard. Got back to Cheyenne safe, though; dropped Dennis off at his place, hung out for a while, had delicious cookies (thanks, Kim), talked zombies and gaming for a while (thanks, Andrew), then me and Doc went home, where we are still hiding from the snow that has yet to stop coming down.
3. Luckily, I don't work until 4:30 tomorrow, which means I have time to read
4. Cory Doctorow's new book that just came out today. Makers. He serialized about the first third as 'Themepunks' on Salon years ago, then rewrote it and started serializing it again on Tor.com this year. I've been obsessive about checking every MWF since he started, and now that it came out.. well, all of a sudden it's three hours later, and I don't know why. Best book Mr. Doctorow has written since Down and Out..., and possibly better still than that. (You better believe that's some high fucking praise from me.)
Other than that.. uh, yeah. That's about it.
