EA seems to take some sick pleasure from taunting their audience.  I never knew how badly I wanted to play a European Union grunt until they announced and then subsequently delayed the booster.

Today is a snow day for me.  This is one of many benefits for working for an academic establishment.  They closed the place based on 12 hour old reports ( Read more... )

Folks who care will undoubtedly be joyfully downloading and installing the newest BF2 patch (1.2) which also means we are mere days away from the Euro Forces booster.  I can honestly say that I'm impressed with the post-release support and attention that BF2 is enjoying.  The Special Forces expansion was brilliant, especially since I'm more of a ( Read more... )

Alright. Despite the fact that the majority of the folks who read my LJ haven't really hung out with me in the flesh for years (other than the odd Saturday night romp here and there), I'm still going to go ahead and post my Johari link (nicked from waiwode and twistdprincesse).  We'll see how it turns out ( Read more... )

I love getting shipments at work.  Even though it's work equipment, I feel like it's Christmas all over again ( Read more... )

It's been a crazy week at work. Someone opened the flood gate that was holding back all the crisis events. Now they're pouring down on me all at once. Still, nothing I can't handle and not enough to even remotely make me dislike my job. But it's still been a crazy week ( Read more... )

Game night has sorta fallen apart again.  We have 2, maybe 3 of 4 players coming out.  As a result, we'll be playing some Descent and having some beers.  Still fun.

Busy as heck today.  The chaos of a new semester has hit all at once, and I'm caught right in the middle of it.
