Say, What Chu Looking At?

The weekend needed to be longer.  I spent much of it doing little chores, catching up on shows I haven’t watched since April of 2008, and installing WoW. 

On a few things…

1. Yes it really did take almost 16 hours to install WoW.   During which time I found such wonderful things as…  Torrenting updates, which killed my bandwidth.  Lack of a single mass update.  Non-automated updates, so I had to keep switching back to update.   But really, the killer was the sequential updating… If I’d known/realized it was that bad I’d have downloaded the client from their server from the start..
2. My online poker bankroll has taken an epic beatdown over the last two weeks, leaving my confidence completely shaken.  Meltdown is a common story for people trying to build their poker skills to make a run, but nonetheless its quite painful.  I’m not listening to my instincts nor am I making smart logical moves, and luck is not my friend either.   Obviously a horrid combination.  My only sense of relief lies in the fact that I already took out everything I put in, so the damage is only to my winnings.   (We’ll not talk about my brick & mortar bankroll.) 
3. I’m looking for people to fill a position here at work.  It is not a creative position but it’ll deal with alot of visual materials.  If you’re a designer with tech-head tendencies, or a tech-head with designer tendencies… let me know.  (This is not an entry-level position.  I need someone who is ready to go go go.  It is also subject to the full hiring process.  No free lunches and no free rides, especially in this market.)
4. I need a vacation, but I realistically should not take one until at least March or April.   I’m still considering the trip to LA though.   …  later this year, I’m seriously thinking I might take a cruise originating in NYC.  Anyone interested in joining me?
5. By the time Sunday rolled around, the snow was mostly gone.  Boo.
6. I had a horrid time sleeping last night — I had one of those dreams that’s just designed to mess with your sleep cycle.   “Waking up” repeatedly in your sleep just to realize you’re still dreaming, only to “Wake up” again, just to realize you’re still dreaming, only to….  rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.
7. I’ll try WoW out tonight for a little while. 
8. Pimping time!  My good friend has opened not one but TWO online webcomics.  Well okay, only one is a webcomic, the other is a bastard child of his twisted brain and still images that nonetheless is sure to leave me laughing until my brain leaks out through my nose.   Whenever he gets that launched.  Which is soon.  I’m sure.  Because if it isn’t I’ll have to hurt him.   Anyway, go visit them. 

   The Burrito Blade - Yes, you read that right.  The Burrito Blade.

   Things Wrong With Me – Because the MPD comes out somehow.. 

9. Right.  I’ve jabbered on long enough.  We not return you to your regularly scheduled forecast.
