Set up a blog at avatar.mee.nu. Mostly anime and hobby blogging, don't feel obliged to check it out or anything. (Not that I update THIS thing too often, heh.)

Good day today. Went into town with Jeff and Manisha, neither of which were doing all that well after apparently getting a bit of a bug or something overnight. We decided to go see the Exploratorium/science museum, which was kind of kid-oriented but still had a bunch of cool stuff. It also happened to be right next to the Palace of Art, which is a ( Read more... )

Raided a local bookstore today. Picked up some Chinese and British history - two subjects I'm weak in - and found 2-for-1 milk tea tapioca for $2.50. Now that I could get used to ( Read more... )

So, Wednesday mornin'. Didn't sleep too deeply - it's a little hot on the couch, this place does NOT have air conditioning. I'd complain, but Jeff's moving out in two weeks anyway.

Got four yards of bark dust dumped in our driveway today. Shifted a good bit of it into the flower beds in the back, and now it's my back that's doing the complaining. Shoveling is not my forte ( Read more... )

Reading Ghost Brigades by Scalzi. Think a modern Heinlein with much more of a sense of humor...

"Aw, crap," said the first pilot.
"Thank God for Karl Marx," intoned the second.
"That's the first time in history that has been said at a poker table," said Cloud. "You should be proud ( Read more... )

So for graduation the folks got me a 19" LCD monitor, and I decided I had enough to spring for another one. Now I need some 2560x1024 or so wallpapers. Anyone have any suggestions? It's a bit of an unusual combination...
