Bunches o’ Stuff
meta-markup: 0
Been pretty busy since I last posted. Seems like I’ve been out doing
stuff nearly every night in the past week. Unfortunately, I no longer
remember what I did on most nights. I know last Wednesday, Matt, Andrea,
and I went to Boston Billiards for a bit. I used to be pretty good at
pool, but I really sucked that night. On Thursday, I think, we played
mini-golf with Jason, since apparently his drinking buddies ditched him
or some-such. He’s got a nifty tablet PC now that he uses for war-driving.
On the way back from Max’s he picked up 5 AP’s.
On Friday, Andrea and I went to see K-19. It’s the story of Russia’s
first (I think) nuclear powered sub with nuclear weapons. Basically they
head out, do some tests, everyone thinks the captain is mean, then
everything goes wrong, and it turns out the captain is a good guy after
all who was considering the fate of the world and not just his boat. I
thought it was good, but Andrea seemed to not be very impressed.
Saturday night, Andrea went to babysit some of her cousins overnight,
and I went off to SimPro to play network games with Matt, Jason, Dave,
and Mike. We played CS for a while on one of the F.o.R servers, and for
a while it was four of us GK! against 4 FoR. We did pretty well,
considering we’re just a bunch of people and they’re a real clan that
plays matches and stuff. Later on we played some good old-fashioned
Half-Life Deathmatch. I think I won 2 of 3, Dave winning the other.
On Sunday, Andrea and I went shopping for some food and stuff. I got the
tools and wire I need to get the speakers where I want them in the
living room, and we got enough food at Sam’s to last a month. We meant
to clean the apartment, but we ended up going out for Chinese food
instead. We’re going to try and clean up a part of the apartment each
night this week, so it’ll be all clean by next weekend. No real reason
for it, just that it’s a mess and should be clean.
In other news, I’ve gotten a logo from Matt. I know Mike is working on
one as well, but I haven’t heard much out of him about it. Andrea claims
that she’ll make one that’s better than everyone else’s, but she won’t
make it for me.
I think I have everything I need to upgrade the TiVo. I found a cable at
work that should do nicely, and it turns out the knife that Andrea gave
me for my 20th birthday has the #10 and #15 Torx bits that I need. I
hope to get that done one night this week.
