Things.

Bleah. Woke up with a headache this morning, and was coughing trying to get to sleep last night. I hope I am not getting sick with something.

Spent last Saturday morning trying to upgrade a few systems at work. [livejournal.com profile] thudthwacker did all the heavy lifting on the Solaris TimeZone updates before the DST change. Since the weather was nice, [livejournal.com profile] yolen and I took the light rail up to Bergenline in Union City and wandered around a bit Saturday afternoon.

Had the urge to listen to Imaginos (Blue Oyster Cult) this morning. Forgot how much I like this album.

Counting the days until LunaCon. Nine.

Lawrence Watt-Evans has finished serializing The Vondish Ambassador. I enjoyed it, but there seemed to be less action/decision making on the part of the main character and more being pushed around by events, than other Ethshar books.

Found a bunch of my old notes from gaming, and have been scanning in some and adding to the game wiki. It's funny, I found some NPCs that I created that are older than some of the people on my f-list, maybe 25 years old, back from in high school when I was using _The Fantasy Trip_, before I converted things to GURPS. It is also interesting how some stuff, I look at and go "oh, yeah, I remember that", and other things I go "where the heck did that come from!?" Makes me feel a bit older.

Still working on plans to go visit my parents some time this month.

Still need to edit & post dance photos from January, and P-Cult photos from February.

I need to finish some books. I think I'm in the middle of five different ones. One downside to being on PaperBackSwap is that I have been accumulating books I want to read faster than I have been reading them! My 'in' pile has to be a full shelf by now.

My new boots have been very nice to have on snowy days like today. My Converse All*Stars were getting a bit slick. Still, I am looking forward to spring.

Made a new icon from an old self portrait.

Found a bunch of vector graphics map symbols from the National Park Service, some of which I may also turn into icons. I've been playing around with Inkscape, which is a nifty vector graphics package (like Adobe Illustrator). It's what I used to make my new icon.

Hope you are all having fun!

As instant as an eyelash caught on the tide...

Indeed. It has probably been six months or more since I last listened to it as a whole. I like putting my mp3 collection on random, but sometimes a whole albums is what one needs.

Fun Fact

Lawrence Watt-Evans is one of two people I know of who is NOT blood but IS allergic to mustard. Had a mustard attack just last week. A new woman at the office didn't know not to bring it in. Received a booster NAET treatment afterwards so hopefully I'll be able to breathe around it again for a few more months. Stupid body.
