free night and what to do
Sep. 25th, 2004 12:03 amI think my financial situation is sorted. Companies that keep your money are pretty nice to you when you let them keep lots of it.
Cameron and Kate are real sick. It was very nice outside this evening. I took stock of the situation and decided to try walking to Boulevard Park. While I succeeded, I can't say I would jump at the chance to do it again, as coming home after sunset was a very long, cold hill climb. Got a couple cool pictures though. Saw lots of over-the-hill couples in parkas walking the pier at sunset. It was very sweet.
Having done more than enough walking for the day, I retired to the living room to eat vanilla ice cream with pineapples and watch The Triplets of Belleville, which, while not being a very ice-cream-and-pineapple movie, was quite fascinating. Not sure I would recommend it to anyone but the adveturous, but if you've got nothing planned it's a delirious 80 minutes.
I've been roped into answering everyone's Debian questions at work, being that, since Jeremy graduated, I'm the only employee with experience on that OS. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, except I find it all too fascinating and would probably prefer to spend more time on that and less on my actual job. And that's not even considering that I just spent two hours reinstalling it on a virtual machine to test some new things I figured out today at work. Is it bad that I find linux distribution build systems more fascinating than any game right now? I have nearly a dozen top-shelf games installed and ready to play, instead I keep starting VMWare and tinkering around. I'm not sure why I feel guilty about it, I guess it doesn't feel like a very carefree way to have fun. I can do this and get paid, why spend my time doing it?
Of course, I've spent paid time playing games too, so it's all very gray-area.
I still don't feel moved-in. Having piles of stuff that was supposed to be gone last week STILL HERE doesn't help much. I'm really starting to feel aggravated about having 75% of my files offline due to the fileserver still being down. I think I'll work on getting that set up tomorrow. I just want to listen to Four Tet.
