...GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is out on home release ON MONDAY????

Looks like I'm making a diversion to the nearest outlet on the way to work, then.

Also: new boots ordered. It's nearly Patent Saturday, so what better way to celebrate (apart from the now almost traditional get-away)...?

(or "Breakfast At Swarti's" ;-) )

That's me "back to normal", after a very satisfactory Patent Saturday excursion, during which I watched, or attempted to watch, a whole bunch of movies in the lap of luxury. They were:-

Sunday:
Rise Of The Guardians
Battleship
Super 8 (rewatch, fell asleep near the end)

I'm actually thankful that yesterday (AKA Saturday) is over. It's been a fairly shitty day - a mod crash took my Minecraft save with it, and four days' worth of Season Three development... including *sob* all that oil, and the fuel I produced from it ( Read more... )

Before I forget... Oh, yeah - Happy Thanksgiving, USA.

And The Rest... Been relaxing with Minecraft on my "day off" before The Big Weekend kicks off. Tomorrow - almost today, in all honesty - will most likely be a lot like today, but with added packing (which I haven't even begun thinking about yet!). At some point in the next 24 hours, I will be ( Read more... )

Oooops.

If I'm counting down through one week to Patent Saturday, I should at least start at the right time. It was one week to go on SUNDAY, dumb-ass ( Read more... )

A big day for incoming post - that's a big bit of Christmas shopping done... and I am now in possession of a pretty sweeeet new pair of boots, in prefect timing for Patent Saturday. Excellent!

Yeah, it's been another thin week on the blogging front, but The Stargazer Project - Season 2: The Edge Of Chaos has been getting, and holding, the majority ( Read more... )

...yup, Minecraft



Meanwhile, it's looking pretty much certain that, this week, I'll be updating my game set-up to 1.6.4, even at the cost of two favourite mods. This will screw up Season Two of The Stargazer Project a good deal, but not totally fnaj it up - I can reuse the "seed" for the map, reproducing the original landscape, and there's a mod ( Read more... )

Let's see how we can fix all this buggeerd-up stuff.

1) I may just adjust my Patent Saturday plans just this once, given that my planned first day of luxury was going to be St Andrews Day, and a Saturday - oh, and booked solid. I won't be getting my special day in its entirety, so I'll just have to take an extra day off to make up for it. Sounds ( Read more... )

Not the best day. several things have conspired to screw up my evening, and possibly days and evenings yet to come. These are:

1) My office windows are STILL letting in draughts.

2) I may have waited too long to book my becoming-traditional Patent Saturday hotel stay, missing the opportunity to get one of my usual days. The whole "trip" isn't a ( Read more... )

Oh yeah - story posts. I have some stuff to type up from Patent Saturday, and the current story will most likely expand to five chapters as a result. I'll be posting the delayed Chapter 4 at the weekend, and the concluding segment when it's ready, which might be the following weekend, clearing the decks for the 2012 Christmas Special... if the ( Read more... )
