Much catching up. So: Sunday, didn’t do a heck of a lot. Went through a couple of episodes of “Babylon 5″. Monday, Stephanie and I went to see “Thor”, which was actually better than I’d expected. There was a lot of humor, as well as some in-jokes that only long-time Marvel fans would recognize (like [...]

Saturday! Always a fine day. Didn’t do that much other than laundry and amusing Moira. I did get a gift certificate via Deal Chicken, though, and took Stephanie out to dinner at Fatburger. You can get up to XXXL burgers there, but we didn’t go nearly that far. Stephanie got a turkey burger, which was [...]

Friday was pretty quiet. A lot of people were out of the office, because they wanted to get a head start on the three-day weekend. The day was pretty ordinary, which was sort of a relief. We all went out and got lunch. It wasn’t burgers, it was Mexican food—I got a bowl of shrimp, [...]

The last couple of days have been full of stuff. Wednesday had the usual Chinese food and Rock Band 3, with Stephanie and Steve. Steve’s got a ton of stuff scheduled, as his older son is graduating from high school, and he’s going to Comicon starting on Friday. That sounds really interesting, but I totally [...]

Both Monday and Tuesday had more than the usual number of annoyances at work. I at least got some stuff done on Monday. Tuesday, thanks to a problem that didn’t make any sense and that no one could explain well, my OS X box was basically unusable all morning. Ah well. At least I could [...]

Sunday. Not really that much happened, though I think almost everyone was glad that the predicted apocalypse didn’t materialize. (Considering history, this shouldn’t *surprise* anyone, but whatever. But anyway: Did laundry, cleaning, and cooking. Instead of roo meat, I got a chicken stuffed with shrimp étoufee yesterday, and I made that for dinner. It was [...]

Friday had a bunch of relatively ordinary work stuff. Went out to lunch, got pizza, helped another guy with a bunch of UPDATE statements in a new tool he’s building. And then Stephanie took me out to dinner, which was kind of nice. Moira meowed a lot. Saturday, I had a plan: I’d go get [...]

Wednesday, instead of Rock Band 3, I went to see a D-Backs game with Stephanie and Steve. It actually rained a bit on Wednesday, so they kept the roof closed. The game was fairly interesting. D-Backs took an early lead, then the Braves came back with a few runs. Then Ryan Roberts made it from [...]

Tuesday had a protracted discussion of something that really wasn’t a good idea that also seemed really unnecessary. Oh well, maybe it won’t get implemented, or will get implemented in a better way. Also, one of the guys had a hard disk that he couldn’t read any data off of. I plugged the disk into [...]

Monday had about the usual number of annoying Monday things. There were a ton of kind of weird permissions problems that took much more time than they should’ve. But that was OK, because they all got fixed. Stephanie’s reading A History of God, by Karen Armstrong. She lent me one of her textbooks, for an [...]
