downloading NeoSteam and re-installing Eve Online; I just wanna play a game, dammit!

just finished up a few rounds of Battlefield Heroes and preparing to install GTA2...

gave up trying to run Cabal Online after it never progressed past the loading screen...

switching from strong but slow cellular broadband to weak but fast free wifi to download 1 gig worth of game client...

motivation to work: check; desire to work: check; energy to work? need coffee...

realizing that I forgot to pick up sugar at the grocery store, earlier, so now I have to venture out again for coffee...

Karas for background noise; sometimes movies are a great replacement for music...

hoping my PMS will have run it's course by morning...

just can't bring myself to eat food that isn't what I ordered...

not in the best of moods to begin with and now saddled with someone else's order from chinese takeout...

guess I waited too late to watch The Event, since Hulu is no longer hosting episode one...

waiting for my Inbox to finish being backed up so that I can check mail finally; been archiving since last night...

four hours of sleep interrupted by yard maintenance equipment...

may be awake, but brain is mush; will have to find something REALLY easy to work on if I'm going to be productive...

slept past noon and now I feel like being productive instead of actually sleeping...

knocking out a nice little fix on Ruminations for Karo while I watch the steampunk episode of Castle...

getting a kick out of being part of the developer gathering at Epoch, with PHP, Java, C and Python all represented...

pumpkin-hour; will I stay or will I go now... *yawn*

spent so much time today on business correspondence that I had to think to remember I wrote code too!

I knew, just KNEW, I should have avoided using "starttime" as a variable! Damned double T's!!!

getting Subversion running knocked out FTP; "graceful" reboot failed, as usual; migrated from Bouldin to Epoch with Blake...

construction IN GENERAL isn't done on my building, just the SPECIFIC fucking noise being made that day...

construction noise has ceased; should I return to bed and recoup my lost time now?

listening to the construction nightmare start up again a few doors down...

watching data service from Verizon go straight down the toilet in the middle of town...

instantiate, substantiate, insubstantiate!

doesn't seem to matter which social network I try to make use of... this time "Twitter is over capacity."

feeling a lot better knowing that I'm not being targeted, specifically, by this whole "It Get's Better" campaign...

most development time seems to be spent using search-and-replace, copy-and-paste and watching FTP transfers...

not many other responses I could have given for "what comes after 'see colon'?"...

dev quirks: you can never tell if it's the crappy internet connection, server issues, or your own damned box...

wondering why I don't retreat into my headphones more often; it's so peaceful in here!

enjoying some choons...

still trying to figure out if I watched all of the last season of Dexter or if I wrote it off as a demented after school special...

was considering leaving, but now am enjoying the montage of intensely cute girls, all so self-absorbed, sitting around Epoch...

can't find anybody to go to the coffee house with, and can't find the motivation to go alone...
