Back at work after a great weekend of gaming at FoR LAN 9. Delia came with me for this one, getting to meet all the insane people I hang out with online, like the other Fists and the Loftninjas and the various others who always seem to be around. She says she had a good time, which I guess I’ll believe. She did wander over to the DDR pads a few times. I might need to pick up a pad so she can practice for the next LAN. Oh, and she cooked for me on Saturday night, making spaghetti with meatsauce. She makes this kindof weird sauce with chili seasoning and grape jelly added to a normal base sauce. It’s extremely good. I’m glad there are still leftovers.

As for me, I ended up playing a lot of UT2k4, which kicks quite a bit of ass. It’s basically UT2k3 with some of the original UT weapons brought back (like the sniper rifle, depending on the map) and some of the game modes now have vehicles, which is amazing. I think I’m going to run out and pick up a legit copy with my next paycheck so I can play online. We also played a little CS, though not enough to really count for anything. I also noticed some Command and Conquer being played, and there were some consoles set up, mostly for DDR and Soul Calibur 2. I did play a little bit of the new F-Zero on GameCube, but it didn’t last for long.

Oh, and it was at a new location this time, the MOFGA’s Common Ground in Unity, ME. They have a very nice hall there with a huge kitchen and even Internet access, though it was too slow to be of much use.

Anyway, back to normal day-to-day life. As usual, I’m attempting to collect everybody’s pictures from the LAN and get them posted in my gallery. Not much there at the moment, but I’m working on it.

Just writing to wish Delia a Happy Birthday! We went out to see Kill Bill: Vol. 2 last night after a dinner with some of her family and friends at Shorty’s. Today it looks like we’ll be having lunch at Bickford’s with some more of her friends, then wandering over to get her a car stereo (a fancy MP3 playing one, no less) then onward to go play games at The Dan’s house. A good time will be had by all (or else.)

(by way of doornail and jtn)

Ask me three questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then copy and paste this into your journal, allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything.

Make them some interesting questions!

Back at work again for the first time this week. Most of the weekend was spent helping Snood take care of Delia, and in the process I managed to catch whatever illness she had, which knocked me out for Monday and Tueday. I’m still not completely over it, my throat is still killing me, my nose is blocked up, and I generally feel crappy. Hopefully it will pass soon. As always, I hate being sick.

Been a little bit since I’ve updated, so I thought I’d just post a kindof general update on life in general. Life has been going pretty well as of late, meeting a bunch of new people, largely thanks to Delia. Not sure if I’ve mentioned this in here yet, but I’m very glad that I met her when I did, life has been much more interesting with her around. Thanks again for bursting the boring bubble.

In gadget news, I did finally get a new cell phone, a Nokia 3589i to replace the old one that was beginning to break apart. So far it seems to be pretty slick. I like being able to tie multiple numbers to the same contact, and I should be able to load in custom ring tones and have different rings for different people. Just need to get the data cable for it at some point to begin playing with it.

Started playing in Angel’s D&D game yesterday. It’s good to be in a group again, I really enjoy playing, but trying to keep a group going always ends up being difficult. From what I’ve seen so far he seems like a good DM, with a pretty good amount of planning going into the game. Should make for an interesting diversion. Also, one of Delia’s other friends is probably going to be joining, bringing the party up to 6, which I think makes it the largest group I’ve played in.

On the work front things are pretty much the same as always, plodding along. I did get to spend a day last week working for IronCastle, which was a nice change of pace. Some day I’ll be working for IronCastle full time, and just doing work for SimPro on a contract basis through them, which I look forward to. Working on the same project for too long gets rather tedius. I wish these voice modems would either start working the way their supposed to, or just explode or something.

As for upcoming events, a bunch of us are going to go see either Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Hellboy this evening. Neither movie was really on my to-see list earlier in the year, but they both look pretty good, so I’m looking forward to it. Wednesday is Dan’s birthday, though I don’t think we’re doing anything on Wednesday for it, due to family plans. This weekend I’m heading up to Maine to visit my mom and Ralph for Easter, maybe stopping in at the Loft at some point.

Weekend after that is Delia’s birthday, which apparently we’re having a party at my place for. I still need to decide on a present for her, but for once I actually have plenty of ideas, I just need to figure out which one is best.

Farther out, I’m thinking of taking another trip someplace this summer, maybe down to Texas to visit Matt again, or do the Michigan/Indiana thing again. Don’t know yet. Maybe go somewhere completely new and different.
