It's March, and my SAD progresses. I took an exhaustion-day from work today and slept forever. Now have caffeine withdrawal, since I need it to combat the no energy thing. Yes, I'm exercising. I'm eating okay. Can improve that a bit, but it's not...I have been running out of sun and that's kind of nuts. DST starts this weekend. The worst is likely ( Read more... )

I've been really busy after the first week of January. Attempting to document/tie off Aralis plots, learning Unity Game Engine, some C#, some PHP, making a photo album for my parents, doing writing samples, and a little research for my own game.

This weekend is the Global Game Jam. This is the first year I'm signed up as a programmer. I'm hoping to ( Read more... )

It's 2013, and my parents have their power back (they were out for ten days after Hurricane Sandy). Apparently some people still don't and there's no government aid yet. Eep. Angry NJ/NY Republicans are interesting to watch. I feel bad that it's come to this ( Read more... )

Aralis! We managed to do most of the things planned, and I had a good nap so was in a pretty positive frame of mind for Saturday night and Sunday morning. I will confess, though, a large amount of my good cheer was from stumbling into the kitchen Sunday morning to behold Constantine in some white fluffy fleece vest-pieces humming happily. He ( Read more... )

...and it's already Aralis time again! After this I can rest for a while, right? I'll have two and a half weeks to work on music hopefully before I go to Seattle. By that time I may have an idea when/where I'm moving next year.

DJed silvergoose and Donna's wedding, and reviews were positive. Yay! A hora, very very good food, and now they can sleep some! ( Read more... )

I got sick last week with what's probably Aralis plague. Thus the week was seen through hazy woozy senses...there was a housewarming party thrown by myself and all my housemates. Most everyone I talked to had something interesting to say, but I didn't have the energy to be properly chatty ( Read more... )

Aralis event done! Did more fighting than usual, and that's probably a good thing. My allergies were really awful Friday night, Saturday day, and Sunday morning, but the weather dried up and I recovered enough to load the trailer Sunday ( Read more... )

Workplace instituted another salary freeze.  First year we had 1/3 raise, second year there the normal one, last year 2/3 of the standard given raise.  It's quite frustrating.  They cite rising health care costs as a big reason.  Please excuse me while I go have an aneurysm and incur more ( Read more... )

I move in one month (to the day).  This means I've hit the 'attempting to consume staples still in the pantry' phase.  More couscous than I normally eat in several months, more rice than I normally eat in a month, and I'll try to figure out how to use the remaining olive oil optimally.  Also don't know what Sev will do with his staples.  Will ask ( Read more... )

The Yankees have started 2-3, thanks to Tampa Bay.  Malaga are in third place.  Bayern Munich lost to Dortmund as I typed, and are probably out of the title hunt, but there's still the Champions League versus Real Madrid.  So, mixed sporting news.

Easter was a bunch of fun at Mike's place.

I'm thinking about running another tabletop as mentioned ( Read more... )
