1) What is up with this Naruto filler arc? It's movie quality, for crying out loud! So it's not sucky filler, it's just... completely out of chronology, has things that are never gonna show up later, and WTF? 4 episodes and counting, with probably another 4 to go--or at least 2 more.
2) My car is in the shop. Don't know if I'll be able to get it before work tomorrow or if I'll have to get it Sunday. Gas tank was leaking, so getting that fixed.
Getting a tuneup over Christmas from my brother-in-law, or at
least that's the plan. He's got he same year/make/model as I do so he should be able to get it done pretty efficiently :)
Still need power booster fixed for my brakes, don't know when that'll happen.
3) Speaking of Sunday, I also need to get a haircut, do laundry, do Christmas shopping, and also watch the Hobbit w/ my roommates.
4) Re: Christmas shopping: I almost have a list ready. At least I know who I want to get stuff for, though I'll probably have to pare it down a little, or just find some really cheap stuff for some of the people.
5) Re: cars and roomies--Jason lost his job at the beginning of the month, so he's been chauffeuring me to work while my is in the shop. However, he found a similar job (w/ significant pay drop) already and starts on Monday... which is why I likely won't get my brakes fixed for a while. The parts for that appear to take several days to come in, and I don't have several days to wait.
6) My game is progressing; I fixed a couple big logic errors, but still have to work on single-use items and any sort of end-game for the player as well as "retiring" adventurer groups when they run out of resources or when they "graduate" the current max-difficulty-thingyness. In the meantime, it's open for people to look at and break or otherwise tell me what sucks ;)
7) Ninjas are also moving along... slowly. Missed the last session, hoping to make it up (albeit one player short) this Tues, just so we can get past the current mission by the end of the year and start next year w/ a new mission and new players. Still have to find out if Jason's schedule will let him be free Tues evenings, as well as whether Tom would be free frequently enough to try joining.
5b) Jason's also got a magician gig this Saturday (today? tomorrow?) and is hoping to get some leads from that as well. He's hoping to be able to do that full-time, and just needs 10 to 20 shows a month to pull it off. We'll see how that goes, but he is pushing me to do more work on his website as well. Bye-bye, free time, it was nice knowing you... Oh, wait, ninjas stole that already. Nevermind.
8) So with all that going on... It's the holidays! Quit messing up my schedule! I don't have time for holidays! (grr)
But I was able to get Christmas Eve off, which gives me my first three-day-weekend in a *long* time. So I'll get to spend some real time w/ people back home. Won't that be nice ^_^
9) Not-so-nice was a couple days ago at work they played "A Christmas Story" in the call center (not in the break room). With no sound, which was distracting. Twice in a row.
And the day after that they played "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and then "James and the Giant Peach". Again with no sound, which was not cool because I've never gotten to see either of those, and I would like to.
But I can't pay attention to the images moving around in my periferal vision because I have to pay attention to the people trying to talk in my ear! Argh!!
(With that in mind, I wonder how many schizophrenics do a well with a call-center job? That's a statistic I'm curious about, now.)
10) And also, Black Ops 2. Tom gave me a two-week trial XBox Live thing so I could play it online with him. I think I've only had zombie dreams once or twice from it, now.
11) And in order to fulfil my goal of falling asleep by 2am tonight, I need to stop chatting here. Good night, all!
