Work was kinda busy this week, continuing to put out fires, which is kinda what I do now. No worries; they keep on paying me, I keep on logging in. That big problem requirement has been successfully pushed off my plate to be dealt with by folks who are authorized to spend the money, but […]

Not a lot of engagement with the world, online or otherwise that hasn’t had to do with work these last two weeks. That can happen when you get assigned a seriously time-sensitive and poorly-documented requirement that somebody just dropped and abandoned four or five months ago, and needs to be solved now or the organization […]

Not loving this week. In particular, Thursday. I’m not sure I mentioned it previously, but we’ve been down a car the last week and change after somebody forgot the emergency brake and the Honda rolled back into a gas pump pollard and hyper-extended the open door. As such, I’ve really not had the range of […]

So, I’ve been up to some stuff. Last weekend, with it’s pub crawl adventures (lots of fun showing a friend around town and sampling many libations and game stores) and Ravencon was pretty cool. I think I played some really good shows (I might actually be getting kind of good at this?) and the new […]

So, periodontal surgery last week went off without a hitch; got the gums slashed and stitched, and after the first eighteen hours or so which hurt like hell, the pain’s been very manageable. I’m a little tired of the industrial plastic taste from the dressings installed around the sutures, and am growing rather weary of […]

So, I didn’t have oral surgery this morning, because my periodontist went into the hospital this weekend. I’d spent most of the last week getting mentally prepared to have my gums and jaw ratcheted on and spend a couple of days on crazy-strong painkillers. Growing up with orthodontia has me used to people doing all […]

So, last weekend was a nice diversion, getting to play some shows with my friends down in Durham. I thought we sounded pretty good, though it’d have been nice if more folks had come to the shows. This one wasn’t really a big music event, though double-digits would’ve been nice. The Saturday show, though, did […]

It has been a week. I worked, I got through the day, I mostly slept okay, and had a really nice bike ride in Thursday afternoon’s gorgeous 80°+ temperatures, which helped distract me from what day Thursday was. Three decades later, I still miss my dad most on his birthday. Not much so say otherwise, […]

As hinted at last week, I spent a great deal of this week fighting off a sinus bug that’s making its way around the household. I plodded through the work week, got some minimal time outside (my Pikmin Bloom group pooling for 100k steps is going to be tight), and did my best to sleep […]

I’m honestly not sure why, though I spent a good bit of this week feeling like I was on the edge of sick. Exhausted, hot/cold flashes, headaches, and all that good stuff. I continued to plow through my week nonetheless, because there’s stuff that had to be done, including some extra running about, as until […]
