Ember and Leandra are sharing my bathroom. Ember is naked in the shower, and I think Leandra's doing makeup (while clothed). So if you do the math, they're both half naked.
I, for one, am very excited to see what sort of sets they produce today.
Also, I'm still not posting on this blog anymore (try here instead). But I did want to say the above to make everyone jealous.
Yeah.
I'm quite sleepy and hungry. I'm also supposed to be moving today, but I think it's supposed to rain.
Edit: It's raining. I think it's Smash Bros. time.

Two weeks ago my oldest cat Tammy passed away. She just turned 20. This was a long time coming. After going deaf a few years ago, she had been completely fine. Then within the last year or so she began losing a lot of weight, and then did a poorer job bathing herself. The vets then found a small growth somewhere below her tongue, but not inside her mouth. My aunt and uncle decided to not do expensive surgery on a then 19 year old cat, and instead got some medication for her, which did seem to help. For a bit.
The day after I last saw her she stopped eating. My uncle began force feeding her with a spoon until they could get a vet appointment. They gassed her so the vet could poke around in her mouth, without her slaughtering the staff, and the growth had broke through inside her mouth, actually pushing her tongue sort of out of the way. Apparently she stopped eating because it was extremely painful, which could have explained her weight loss.
My aunt and uncle made the decision to put her to sleep.
So, now that Tammy is gone, both of my cats that I grew up with (we got Tammy when I was 4 and Kitty when I was 9) have passed away. It's... pretty shitty.
That's it for the bad news. Now on to the good news.
I finally got a damn haircut. I no longer need to worry about starting to look like a hipster, and that's all I'm saying. Though in slightly bad news that doesn't really affect me, my usual haircutter has breast cancer. Weird.
A coworker of mine who has started to get into some web design is going to pay for some consulting and editing services of mine. Thank Jesus. I'm at negative eighty dollars in my bank account right now. Also I got paid today, so that helps, too. The stimulus package that cannot come soon enough will also help, but that won't be until mid-June.
And the final good news: Turns out DynDNS can redirect my old URL to any other web address. I'm probably gonna finish one of my website designs and have everything on my .Mac account. I'll have to stick with static pages and manual edits, but that's better than nothing. I hope to have that up and running end of the week. The design works perfectly so far in Safari 2 and Firefox 3. Firefox 2 and IE 7 are most of the way there. I haven't tested IE 6, and probably won't. If I do, it'll just be for laughs. I won't bother fixing it when it destroys parallel universes.
And the no comment news: Ember is visiting home in upstate New York till Monday. Yesterday I made the worst hamburger ever. I need to make some weekend plans before I get too bored.

Hmm. So apparently Triforce tattoos are pretty common according to Google.
This morning I woke up an hour early, probably due to the cats. While lying in bed I suddenly felt determined to get the Triforce done. Eight hours late the urge is diminished, but it could still be kinda cool.
Maybe I should just accept my fate and get the FEARnet, Sprout, and Comcast logos done instead.
Updated: Because some people are retarded, I'm referring to the Triforce as in the fucking Triforce from a little something called The Legend of Zelda. Yeah, that big Nintendo franchise that has spawned at least 10 games by now. And every one is amazing.
I'd like to have it on the top of one of my hands, you know, where it is in the [later] games. But it'd be a bit too visible for future career-related activities.

The last 20-30 hours (and ongoing still) has been "omfg render faster time!" for Ember. I left NJ early yesterday so she could kidnap my MacBook Pro. That is, after reinstalling Windows and 3ds Max. Which always takes far longer than it should. Windows especially. After she is done, I should make a clone of my Windows partition, that way I can just trash the Windows partition, and copy back from the clone should I ever need it again. Which is leaps and bounds faster than installing off CDs/DVDs.
Each frame took roughly eight to ten minutes on our MBPs. And about twelve minutes on her older PC (dual-core 2.0 GHz Athlon).
Anyway. I offered to help her render on some of the [new] machines at work, since two of them are unused currently (vacation and what not). We're running Max 2008 over there. Anyway. The longest frame took one minute and 58 seconds. Insanity. I could comfortably watch it render, on the laptops it felt like an eternity for a single pixel to change.
However, some lights were not to her liking, she's at work now, and only her PC is rendering. I don't know what the status is, perhaps she'll use her phone as a phone and let me know one day.
I wonder what I should do in the meantime.
I just upgraded and jailbroke my iPhone to and from 1.1.4. I've been running 1.1.2 for what seems like forever. Now I can watch my home screen icons do the shuffle! And Google Maps' locator is more accurate than Navizon's. Installer thinks I still have all my old apps and claims there's an update for all of them. Weird. My custom carrier name is still "DOOM!" though, which always make me smile.
Hmm. Updating and uninstalling apps always fails. Maybe I should reformat and start fresh from 1.1.4... And yes, for those of you who will never ask, I fully intend to jailbreak my iPhone even after firmware 2.0 comes out.
I wonder what I'll do for dinner. I always went to carts for breakfast and lunch. I should definitely make something at home for dinner.

Hmm. Not much to report.
Smash Bros. is out and I don't own it. This is a problem. Mario Kart Wii comes out next month, too! Crazy!
Ember and I made chocolate chip cookies last night. We ate a good quarter of the uncooked dough. I should have brought some to snack on at work. The baked cookies, I mean. The dough is gone.
I want to make some more designs. I'm tired of this one. But it's a good sign.

Gruber called me out today. Specifically. In the RSS feed.
I was shocked for a moment. Just how badly does he need my money? Then I thought for a moment and realized I'm retarded.
