I'm sick as shit. Fever, sweating, headache (it's not a tumah!). Sucks. Not getting together with Millard tonight. No getting to see Jon and Michelle before they move to Chicago this weekend. Sucks. I'm going home. Sick Thought of the Day: Me

Back on the Map
Wow. It's been forever since I've posted. Since I'm stuck at the office today, waiting for a database to upgrade, I figured I'd say something. Finally. So, what's been happening lately? Hmm. Well, for starters, I've still been playing a decent amount of CoH. I'm getting to a point now where I'm balancing my gaming with the rest of my life, and not devoting six hours a day to it. This is a good thing. I'm emerging back into the real world. Millard is doing the same thing and is feeling good too. Speaking of Millard, Thursday night he, Brad Fries, Shauna and I all went to Orlando to the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum concert. We got up there around 9:30pm or so, and waited for the terrible opening bands to scream themselves raw. When SGM came on, I had trouble with "hearing" them (the audio in that place had some...
The Holiday Event Horizon
This week's been nuts. I'm taking next week off (vacation), and I'm trying to get as much done as I can before I leave the office tomorrow at 2:30pm. I think it'll be ok... Friday (Christmas Eve), Shauna and I are going to go have a little dinner and present-opening party at her dad's house. We got him some pretty good gifts I think he'll enjoy. Saturday is Christmas day, so everyone that came over for Thanksgiving is due over. Shauna's decided that a large pot roast will be substituted for the turkey this year and green bean casserole will be substituted for the stuffing. Other than that, it'll be the same. Well, other than the present festival. After Saturday, there's going to be PLENTY of relaxing and playing CoH. Oh yeah, baby. Oh yeah. Sick Thought of the Day: Crashed Mapserver
Sleepytime Chewbode Museum
Well, things are back to normal around here. Millard came by last night and we stuffed ourselves on Taco Bell. I showed him GTA:San Andreas. We then played CoH from 10:00pm until about 4:30am. I will try to post a new entry on By Baltar's Balls! later today. For now, I'm getting ready to take our cat, Max, to the vet for a follow-up visit. He was sick with a urinary tract infection the last couple of weeks. He's doing real well now, tho. Also gonna do some office work today. Got to head to the mini-storage unit to inventory all the stuff in them in the hopes we can get rid of it (it's really just junk). Hopefully, I'll also get a haircut today, but I'm not sure if I'll make it that far. After all, I'm only operating on about 3 hours of sleep right now. Sick Thought...
Up For Air
I know I haven't posted much lately, but that's just too bad. Actually, there really hasn't been much to say for the past few weeks. Work, eat, sleep. Boring. So, Millard's back from San Francisco. He told me a crazy story about him coughing up blood and needing to go the hospital. If you get a chance to ask him, I'm sure he'll tell you the story. Heck, he might just add it to his blog. Some other shit you might care about (or not): I've been doing some work for the past year (give or take) by building 3D models for the Transformers Battlefield 1942 mod. Those of you familiar with BF know that there are lots of great mods out there, and I think that this mod will not only be good, but it'll be quite unique (yes, you'll be able to "transform" from robot to vehicle in...
The Week In Review
Because of my crazy work schedule this past week, I've found it pretty hard to post in the blog. If I'm not sleeping, I'm working, and if I'm not working, I'm playing City of Heroes to chill out (for mental health). So to recap a bit of this week... Monday was Columbus Day and I had the day off. Shauna had to work, so Millard came over to play CoH. We played until like 9:00 pm or something crazy. Tuesday was Hell on Earth. It was the first day that I was alone since Schunk got his new job. On top of the craziness of rolling the hectic Monday fervor into the day, I also leave early on Tuesdays, so I had to really crank to get everything done. Of course, like it knew Jon was gone, the phone reporting server took a big shit and I spent part of...
City of Heroes
Millard came over last night. He, Shauna and I went out to eat, stopped off at Barnes & Noble's and then headed back to my place. Millard and I played Star Wars Battlefront for a few hours, then I showed him CoH. Oh boy. He's hooked. We played until 6:30am on Saturday, went to sleep, woke up around 1:00pm, and are now just stopping. Damn! In lieu of this, I decided to chronicle our adventures. Read all about it on the blog I just put together: By Baltar's Balls! Sick Though of the Day: Rub It To The Blood
The End of an Era
The end of an era is now upon us. Done are the days of crazy office antics with a Mr. Jonathan J. Schunk. Jon's last day is today. He's moving on to work for the county government offices. Some highlights of the past five years: Monkies Nick's Hot Dogs Battlefield 1942 Medal of Honor Starfleet Command III Cincinnati Reds games at lunchtime Airshows Salty Dog The Matrix Reloaded "Thwip!" The office move Intrepid Museum Dog track dogs and burgers Coronas Transformers "Body Massage" "Pork Chop Sandwiches" Porsche "Boo chick boo!" Jon and I will continue to hang out and play LAN games, etc. So, his ass is still gonna be having to deal with me. Wait... that didn't sound right... You know what I mean... Tonight Millard's coming over. Return of the Jedi will be on the big screen. Excellent. I think we're also gonna fix the intonation on my...
Back To Work
The last five days off were great. I really needed that. Granted, two of the days were normal weekend days, but it helped. I played a lot of video games, ate some pizza, and relaxed. My and Shauna's 10th wedding anniversary is tomorrow, so on Saturday we went out and bought ourselves new wedding rings. Finally. We'll pick them up tomorrow night and then head out for a nice dinner someplace. This week is Schunk's last week at work. It'll definitely suck not working with him anymore. Five years of working (working well) next to someone really is cool. Anyway, we'll get together on the weekends to play video games or catch a baseball game, or something along those lines. After the much needed break, I'm diving back into my website again tonight. My goal is to finish the graphics by the end of the week. After that, Jeff and...
Ahh
I did nothing yesterday. Ahh. Actually, after heading to McDonald's, I came home and played CoH for several hours. Around 3:00pm I popped Vice City into the PS2 and played that until Shauna came home from work. After dinner, we both played X-Men Legends until 10:30pm. I think Mil's gonna stop by tonight. Return of the Jedi will be featured in our singleplex. Sick Thought of the Day: Smelling Jacko's Fingers
