Hot Showers!

Sunday:

After picking up the water heater stuff and some lunch, I spent the afternoon at home, doing chores. I cut up the fallen trees from last week's storm. I fixed the water heater (prays and crosses fingers that it doesn't do anything burny - one house fire is enough). I installed our new DVD player. I did my final code checkout.

About the time Ape made it back from seeing "The Tooth Fairy" (what the heck led The Rock to make all these kids' movies? I have no prob with it, just interested...) it was time for dinner. Buuut, Soho had found me. We were chatting a bit while I was messing with auction stuff. He's working on dissections this week (sheep and later, cat). I winced a bit about the cats, but in general, I think med-sci is cool. Also good to have (:

He invited me outside for a bit and we sat together continuing our chat. Then he got a Dunes party and politely requested a tele-Holla. I joked that he was going to have fun now as opposed to sitting on the floor talking to me. He said he really enjoyed our talks - aww, sweet! After the tele, I'd expected that to be the end of it, and was considering farming recollections. Instead, I thought about maybe PLing them.

But that would not come to pass. He invited me into the party to rep someone. After some thinking, I was requested on THF, to pull. I grabbed my junk and OPed. The party included Autumn, and it was good to see her again! We were syncing to 10, and I did OK with pulling. I messed up by pulling a Star Bat (rescued by Devane, bro of one of the members) and later, whilst being PLed by Masterhealer, I pulled back-to-back gob adds on top of my lizard targets. I never saw either one despite area sweeps ><

About halfway into the party, Autumn DCed. And Tumo logged in, seeking. We waited a fair bit, then I asked if Tumo could rep her. Soho passed me lead and I went to escort Tumo, as she's only 11, BLM. I mentioned dropping sync and someone complained. I replied that book buffs were due to wear soon anyway. Well, just as I get back through the tunnel with Tumo, someone announces that Autumn was back. Oh no...

It took some discussing (and Tumo's self-DB) but ultimately, Autumn decided to stay out. Her PC had been hit with spyware and she was trying to root it out with Hijack This! (geek points!) and wasn't sure how long it was going to take. I apologized profusely, and she was trying to apologize to me ^^ I don't know which of us felt worse about it.

So, with Tumo back, we continued on. We did two pages plus all the random killing. I went from 17 to 19. Soho and I were going to wrap up at about 9:30, and Incredichimp needed to go too as I recall. We had started with rep hunting, but just sort of disintegrated. I said my goodnights to both Soho and Tumo and left for the night.

Oh, Rogues news - Med informed me they had a Holla win Saturday... And it looks like they may be setting up a new pearl, based on the shell message. I haven't seen any significant activity on the Rogues forum either.

Desperate Housewives was OK, but there weere some good lines. Also, the Orson/Bree suicide watch slash rekindling of passions was sweet. B & S was ok. Nothing terribly special there.

Monday:

I stuck my foot in my mouth at work. I recommended Edge of Darkness to my mentor. Who is Jewish. Oh boy...

Read the Valentione's Day 2010 story thing. It's been up for awhile but I just didn't bother. I wish I had - it was very sweet and I liked the way it concluded. And, I'm interested in the event because it seems it may be a new one for a change.

After that, I was going to read Halifirien's blog and got a 404. I tried a Bing search (work machine, not my choice) and found his Twitter account. But not the blog... Huh.

As I was logging out, I saw a link to a Blog printing service. They offer soft and hardcover versions and allow customizations as well. I think I might preview that - I do want a copy of this for posterity.

And finally, will the blog spammers please DIAF? I'm finding stupid financial scam links on my comments now. And not even new comments! Old stuff from last October! Spammers? If you're going to spam a barely-read blog, spam something that human eyes might actually see!
