One Week in One Hour
Have you ever noticed that you think more/better when you're standing up?
Sorry that i missed last week, i cant honestly say that it passed through my head on sunday, "oh i need to make a post!". oh well. I can't honestly think of anything huge that happened that week anyways.
this past week hasnt been too eventful either. I had a ton of meetings. I got my renewal for my drivers license, see when I got my license first when I was 16 it expired every 6 years or some such, but the expiration date reset when I got my new license when i turned 21 to 8 years. so here I am now 8 years older looking to get a new license. the drivers license here in nys have changed a good deal since then, I've seen at least 3 different designs since I got my over 21 license. What is really funny is that it still has the picture that i took when i was 16, I'll be renewing by mail so i guess they'll keep the picture, for another 8 years. i'm going to be 36 before I get a new picture put on the damned thing. i might want to by then, I wont look young forever.
my coworker and i have been debating the merits of the system we use at work and when/how/if to upgrade everything in the future and somethings have been coming to a head i guess. we sat down in a meeting with all the big wigs and laid out what will happen if we dont upgrade eventually. too many users overloading the infrastructure, horrid remote abilities, and sooner or later we'll be running hardware and software that wont support it. we gave our thoughts as to what to do about it, where we can go from here and now are actively investigating it.
I wiped lostmisery's laptop and installed win7rc, she likes it better than the beta. it runs well. she disappeared into sim3 again though.
the summer is coming to an end and maybe we'll have some quieter weekends coming up. earlier this spring it really did seem like this whole summer was packed. i guess thats fine, it has gone by at a good pace. gone by, we still have a month to go really, 7 weeks until the fall solstice really.
I saw what i believe is called the Prey trailer for the new AVP game. it gives me great hope that it'll capture the fear and horror of being a marine surrounded on all sides by aliens and predators.
I caught this hilarious video for this game by bethesda called WET, down right hilarious.
the trailer for the new tron movie is interesting, the updated graphics are awesome, but mmm well i hope they dont stomp on the memory of the game. seeing it makes me wanna dig out my tron 2 discs and play that again.
only 30min have past.
I finished the new Iain M Banks novel, Matter, today. It was really good. it's one of his culture novels, maybe not the best one, i think i like player of games best, but it is pretty good none the less. the end of it made my jaw drop. it took all that i had not to explain it all to lostmisery in the thought that it would ruin it for her if she ever thought to attack sci fi novels. she doesnt really like going beyond what already interests her, however i cant say i'm much different. you dont see me devouring romance novels.
i'm running out of green tea, i'll have to order some more from bigelow, they have this green tea + mint that i find to be a good balance between the green tea and mint but no stores around here seem to carry it at all. speaking of teas i've liked some of the republic of tea's teas but theres this one that i tried called matcha double green tea, its basically just green tea with matcha (powdered green tea) mixed into it. not very impressive, especially when you consider the price.
lostmisery's brother had his birthday this past friday, we just camped out on the lot his parents own and had a few drinks with him and his cadre of friends. it was fun to watch all the people. all the young people. they seem like they are a world away and they're not that much younger than i am. it really does seem like i was born in a different world from people even 3 years younger than i.
i'm only at 40 minutes and i cant think of anything more to say really. maybe i should post more often with what i'm thinking at the time?
good night.
