I hate when my technology goes haywire. I just hope I don't need to replace the router after all. We'll see.

I forgot how long it's been since I posted an entry. Most of January I was busy or didn't feel like posting, and then my internet was hosed. I'll say more about January tomorrow or Sunday.

Ha! Beat the New Year to home by 25 minutes.

Getting ready to travel. I'll be back in the new year.

The housekeeping didn't go well, but better than it could have been. I ended up making no changes. This also meant I made no progress towards running X-Com, either. Bummer.

Massive StarCon2/The Ur-Quan Masters spoilers ahead.

Had a lovely, lazy weekend not doing a damn thing. Well, I wrote some checks and did other financial type stuff. Probably should have done some laundry, but it can wait a few days. It was a good recovery from the previous week.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the return of Thomas Frank at P & P. I should have picked up his What's the Matter...

Forward, always forward. It...is...by...caffiene...I...set...my...ass...in...motion.

On account of being totally wrung out by fun and exciting late nights this week, I will be sleeping early tonight. Sadly, this means I am missing The Touchables a potentially decent movie featuring the flower-pop Nirvana.

In other news, I Am Charlotte Simmons seems Dickensian.
