Short Trips
I haven't posted to LiveJournal in a while. I've been meaning to rectify that. But I feel that overall, there isn't a whole lot of big things going on in my life, at least nothing that I feel comfortable talking about publicly at the moment. So, in the meantime, here are a few brief bits:
That's all for now.
- This coming weekend is USS Accord's Watkins Glen Weekend. You should all come. All the cool kids will be there. Okay, that's actually a gross lie; I'm quite certain the nerd quotient will be pretty high.
- I am saddened that roller derby season is over (at least in terms of home games in Ithaca), but I was pleased to see the Ithaca SufferJets win their last home game of the season 115 to 96 over the Hellions of Troy on Saturday. (How cool a team name is that, by the way?) Teri joined me at the bout. I somehow even managed to convince the president of my company to attend. He seemed to be having a great time, though I think his wife was a tad less enthused.
- While roller derby ends, Cornell hockey is just beginning. WGW will mean that I will miss the home opener, an exhibition game against the U.S. Under-18 team. But since my home game attendance streak was blown by the car accident last November anyway, I'm not so concerned about missing a relatively meaningless exhibition game. In my opinion, it's all part of being in charge of Accord. WGW is simply more important.
- Work continues. The Huge Project from the Big Name Client is pretty much a reality now; we're just playing the waiting game to see when things will commence in full. Most of the time, I'm actually not going to have much direct involvement in the Huge Project, except that I'll have to pick up the slack to allow others to work on the Huge Project.
- I am so totally behind on my comics reading these days, it's not funny. I have big huge piles of unread things bought months ago I haven't gotten to yet. I need to reorganize my comics collections at some point not too long from now. I also need more bookshelves. Oh, hell, I need more room to put bookshelves. I also haven't updated LibraryThing in ages to reflect what I've managed to read. I think I need a vacation just to catch up on all of this.
- The presidential election is crazy. Obama seems to be favored in just about everyone's numbers, but in this world, nothing is certain. The only thing crazier than American politics? STARFLEET politics drama bullshit Kindergarten antics.
- The week before last, I had a funny time when I was basically on a laundry day. When it comes to laundry day, when out of the clothese they would usually wear, most people seem to end up dressing down. But, of course, I had to be different: I ended up dressing up. I actually got complimented by co-workers (female co-workers, no less!) on my green button-down shirt (the same shirt I wore to my job interview, coincidentally). I jokingly said that if I didn't do my laundry, I'd end up wearing a tuxedo the following day. Fortunately, this wasn't the case: I got the laundry done, and didn't actually have a tux to wear anyway.
- I use Twitter quite a bit. Certainly more than I use LJ these days. I think Twitter serves my needs better at the moment...even if it feels like I'm becoming more ADHD with each passing day.
- I love my family, but I'm not exactly looking forward to the holidays.
- I have to clean up my apartment like crazy. I think I also need to rent a storage locker somewhere in the not terribly distant future. Anyone have any good places to recommend in the general Ithaca area?
- I was thinking about being Peter Griffin from Family Guy for Halloween. Thoughts?
That's all for now.
