Thirteen long hours and I am still alive and well.
I came back this morning from the most intense martial arts training session I've ever experienced to date. Learned some shaolin katas, tai chi, wudan... even some assassin type stuff. Really nifty.
There was also a heavy air of spiritualism to the event. We did a lot of meditation and even toured a Buddhist temple....

hey, thanks for your comment on my set

xxEver have a day when you're so distracted by bad thoughts that every little noise grates on your nerves and any distraction is a good reason to ignore work?
My morning has been sucked away by such negative forces.
Grr.

Well okay, I nearly forgot about suicidegirls. Weird, I know.
Anyway -- moved into my new house. I would call it an apartment, except it's too big. On moving day I found out I have a basement that I didn't know about when I checked out the place. Definitely going to convert it to a writing studio/jam space.
My cat keeps getting bigger. Still a...

I do recommend getting your cat fixed.. she'll drive you crazy trying to get out when she's in heat.. and she'll rub everything against everything....

Pretty fun.
Comes from a larger post on privacy: http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/06/07/29/0223253.shtml
And people wonder why I care about privacy. I stood up to my future landlord on an issue of privacy regarding some terms in our lease agreement. He conceded very easily -- he too is concerned with such things these days. All the...

Tuesday: Boss says to check my email. Contract not being renewed, final payment received. Fuck.
Not good because I'm moving into a new (expensive, but beautiful/inspiring) apartment. With other expenses added on top (karate is costing me out the yin-yang atm); it couldn't have been better timing.
Speaking of Karate -- I'm going for my first grading next week. 1.5 months and I'm already moving...

New flash player for the photo sets? Flash 8?
*Sigh* .. I guess the majority of SG users aren't also linux users.
Well at least someone was clever and kept the HTML/JS version kicking. Hopefully support for it won't drop off any time soon. Somone at macromedia has to start giving a crap soon and release the flash 8 plugin for linux at some point.

I'd switch over entirely to Linux if more things ran on it. My sister is currently running FreeBSD, and it's a great opperating system, but she has to switch over to Windows a lot to run certain programs. I'd go crazy concidering the amount of games that I run on here!

I work in linux, play in linux, and do mostly everything in linux. Windows only has a tenuous thread at best -- mainly for Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. The odd game that runs only under windows too... but I'm playing fewer PC games these days and opting more for consoles/emulators for my gaming. Plus -- I'm getting into the hobby of making little indie games for linux. I'm biased. 
And with virtualization becoming cheap and getting better, I can run a virtual instance of windows on a virtual desktop so I never have to leave linux. I keep a small partition on my harddrive to dual boot into mainly for HL2, Q4, and San Andreas.
... still don't have a DS Lite yet. Must wait...

These are fucking cool. I think I shall attempt to knit myself a pair... if I can ever finish the damn scarf I started in the winter....
Cat and I went to the vet last night where she got her ears cleaned out and got her final shots. In a month or so we get to remove her ovaries and uterus. While I feel kinda...

Well I now live with a cat who loves mangos as much as I do. We fight for the mangos. No kidding. It's weird. She still likes to chase her tail in the bathtub so that makes me the winner. I don't know why either, but that's the game I guess.

So I'm moving into a swanky new apartment on August 1st. I have a month to say farewell to the poor life for now. In some ways I think I might miss... a who the hell would miss cracked out neighbours, loud everything, not having a kitchen sink, and always being on in a constant battle with all the damn bugs that invade your apartment...

I love the new SG layout. Especially the new user 'home' page -- makes interacting with the site much more 'fluid.'
Seriously -- not enough respect for this site. SG rocks.

"Because it's cool" is definately as good a reason as any to get a DS. You never really need these things, so any excuse will do!
Healthy diet....exercise....what are those? I wish that they'd open the pool at my appartment building already!
I agree on the writing/stories thing. It's really too bad that I don't read enough though...haha. Television leaves little to the imagination.
Kingdom Hearts, I've played through most of the GBA game...it gets kind of repetitive though. It fills in a small chunk of story between the first and second game, so it's worth the run through if you enjoy the story.

Kittens grow up too fast. I guess the same is true for living things in general. If we want to find some stasis where things can be the same, does that mean we all want to be dead? Maybe somewhere in between would be nice. A door we could cross when we can't decide whether we want things to change or stay the same.
Hopefully...

Wow. The new SG is amazing. I'm jealous. Solid work.
Just saw Breakfast on Pluto. Also amazing.
The kitten is awesome. No name yet, but 1 vet visit under our belt. Any suggestions?
