Stephanie and I went to see “How To Train Your Dragon” at the $3 theatre on Monday. That was neat. The theatre was packed, since it was a holiday and a ton of people took their kids out. It was probably one of the more enjoyable movies of 2010, actually. According to the IMDB trivia [...]

More virtual animals in FarmVille keep showing up. Well, they’re kind of cute, and they generate money every so often. (I am glad that the virtual animals don’t generate virtual digestive byproducts. Maybe this could be a future FarmVille extension—”Cleanse the Augean Stables for 1000 XP and 10,000 coins!”) Sunday was pretty non-exciting. It’s good [...]

Well, the Suns lost game 6 of the finals, so basketball is over for the town for the year. Sigh. At least on Saturday, Stephanie and I got to eat at Essence Bakery, a nice little French café that was really, really crowded. I think about half the people in line were waiting to get [...]

More pictures from FarmVille. I think they spared no expense in making the virtual animals cute. Friday, a lot of people had taken the day off or were working from home. The office was pretty sparsely populated. There was something that could’ve caused a problem in the afternoon, but that problem never showed up. What [...]

Things didn’t turn out that well for the Suns in game 5, even though they played hard and had it tied up until the final 0.2 seconds. Sigh. I’ve been reading Herodotus recently, and it seems that in the real world, Xerxes and the Persians win more often than not. (This could be one reason [...]

Wednesday had something like this happen at work. I got the go-ahead to reinstall the OS on one machine. After I’d done the reinstall and had it work well, I rebooted the box. It froze on reboot and was totally unresponsive. Then it started giving out POST beep codes that meant “there is no RAM [...]

SUNS WIN!!!1! YEAAAAAAHHHHHH! This means there will be a game 6. That game will be in Phoenix on Saturday. I’ll see if I can get tickets and go, since it’ll be easier to do if the game’s on a weekend night. Here’s a bridge over Tempe Town Lake at night. The lights on the bridge [...]

“The expensive cable tester said that this cable is totally fine.” “Try another cable that we know is good.” “Wait. Is it working better now?” “Yes.” . . .sometimes, you can’t trust stuff that tells you that everything’s OK. Most of the rest of Monday was a lot more boring. Game 4 of the basketball [...]

Sunday, the big excitement was going to a baseball game with Stephanie. I got OK seats. It was a good thing that I didn’t spend more money on good seats, because the D-Backs stunk up the stadium something fierce. They allowed 2 homers and 5 runs while I was using the restroom, which is pretty [...]

Saturday was pretty relaxing. Found a recipe on the Net, then went out and got groceries, then made chicken enchiladas from that recipe. They were good. However, it took longer than usual for me to make them, since it was a new recipe. Saturday morning, Moira threw up in the windowsill, then she pawed at [...]
