[should I call to arms?]
Yosh, not quite a month this time!
Recap:
1) So I've been late several times this month, most of which were < 15 minutes and so I don't think they should count (as they don't hurt my pocketbook) but my job disagrees. If I'm not late the rest of the month I'll be where I want to be though... Still, it's 6 more workdays.
2) Still haven't done any job apps -_- and never got that contact info from Jason, either. Bah.
3) Got mostly caught up w/ ninjas; short sessions are short but the group managed to short-circuit most of the second exam, which is pretty awesome, so they'll pass that part on the first night and get to hang out and see what they do for a couple days after.
4) Spending WAY too much time in Star Craft 2. Found a co-op defense map that is amazingly fun. Bah.
5) Mostly through BGC2040... Not so much of a fan of it, mostly because the monster-of-the-week feel of the first half just DROPPED the boomer classifications from the first series...
...just because I can't remember anything beyond the 33-S series classification doesn't mean the others didn't exist or make sense. Was there a Bu-66? Or is my imagination making that up? Also, Dobermans. and the
OK, so they kept the K-series battle suits, and they kept proper names or the major characters (though I was starting to wonder about Quincy since I'm not used to seeing his last name for some reason), but they scrapped a lot of stuff from the first series, which is mostly what I've been exposed to.
On the other hand, once they introduced Galatea it's been a wonderfully plot-centric roller coaster. I'm pretty happy with it since then, and expect to give it a B ranking overall.
[PS: Galatea surprised me. I think I've only encountered her once, so I always assumed she was from BGCrash instead. I guess all the old fans just didn't have much love for the new series?]
6) And this time we DID have a TPK. Well, guess next week we'll see how that actually works out...
New/recap stuff:
1) Visiting the twins has been postponed to this upcoming Tues, due to a shift in Briar Village scheduling.
2) Got some 'real' thermal paste and finally found out that to have a heatsink off, one must twist it off first. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to find that? -sigh-
So now Kotomi's temps are back to sane (I still haven't looked into undervolting her) but... she shut down on me one evening, had to reseat power to the power supply and restart, and since then the power supply has been making a nasty high-pitched sound. Not a good sign, but until she shuts down again (or I get fed up with the noise) I'm not gonna look into power supplies. Jason had to get one the other week and they're just a bit more cash than I want to spend like that. (Tags and license renewal were $150, but that was a PLANNED expense.)
3) Still mostly having bread for dinner. Its interesting, and keeps me from having to worry about making food, or whether I like it.
4) Still have that lump in my lip... Guess I need to find a way to put that in my budget. Blah.
Uncovered:
....um, not much? Might be playing my pyro in a GURPS game while Tim takes a break from the Swamp Village. Supposed to give the GM a first look at her Fri night after work.
Aside from that, it's been mostly Star Craft and poking occasionally at Briar Village.
Oh! Apparently I missed the first snowfall of the season last night. TGB said there was a dusting/accumulation this morning when he went to work.
And here I am with the window cracked open to make sure Kotomi doesn't overheat... I'm still amused that she doubles as a space heater ^^
[it's just another question I can't resolve]
