Measi's Musings

Archive for January, 2008

I swear Erich and I must be the only legally bound couple in New England who both have to work today. *sigh* There sure as hell weren’t a lot of people on the commute today – not only did I get a three-seat to myself on the train, but most of the backward-facing seats were completely empty.

This means, of course, that on the way home they’ll close off cars and cram us all onto one car, rather than let us enjoy our rides home with personal space. Mark my words, it’ll happen.

Watched the Pats game yesterday – very happy the Pats are in the Superbowl. L.T. just amuses me – I realize that he has tremendous talent. I realize he was injured. I can respect that he recongized that his lack of effective play due to injury made him decide to keep himself off the field. But for a guy who spouts his mouth off all the time, he certainly knows how to sulk, be anti-social and be unsupportive of his team, doesn’t he? Rivers? Huge props for playing with that knee. Huge.

Bummed a bit that the Packers aren’t going to the Superbowl – Favre vs. Brady would have been fantastic. But hey, Manning the younger will be great too – the Giants gave the Pats such a fantastic game at the end of the season. Should be a great match up.

Lots of random crap to do this week – exhaustion from work last week kinda took over this weekend. I worked on a few things, but nothing was completed other than my beta reading for rabid1st and some completely non-essential to life things on World of Warcraft (although I’m now keyed for Kara… yay!). So this week’s stuff-to-do includes:

1) The final drafting of my OSK pinch hit (thank you, principia_coh for the brainstorming ideas!!!)
2) Update the TBS website with the new initiated class
3) Finish the never-ending pile of laundry in the basement
4) Reclaim the kitchen
5) Give the bathroom a proper scrub
6) Reclaim the futon in the sunroom

- So… to my honest surprise, part two of Life in Passing went over well. It had been mostly finished on my computer for about a tenday, but some reviews that I received from part one had me reluctant to post – particularly since I’d struggled so much to write the damned thing. But I had to post it, because it was a gift piece.

When I was doing a final read-over yesterday, I felt something was missing, and added the scene with Jack walking through the storage room. I’m slightly amused that so many people really like THAT scene (considering it was written in about three minutes, ad-hoc, just before posting).

But I’m glad it’s posted. And I am quite happy with it.

- Now I just need to turn my eye onto my pinch hit piece for OSK, which also is mostly done. It needs a once-over. But before I do that, I’ll be doing the beta work for Rae (probably during my commute tonight) on Disheveled.

- Torchwood Series 2 begins tonight. Woot. Yes, I will have upload posts as soon as I can get them up. Since I’ll be in the middle of a train ride when the torrents start popping up, I’ve shown Erich how to start them. It’ll be interesting to see if they’re done by the time I get home. Doubt it, based on what I saw for VotD.

- Worked through the beginnings of two instances in WoW last night toward my Karazan key for a single quest. Did a couple daily quests and raised my rep up with a couple different groups to Honored. And then I went fishing for a while over in Tanaris. Picked up a crapload of mid-level stuff to sell in the AH, and raised my fishing skill up 13 points. I’m now at an even 300. Can’t complain – it was a very good, fruitful night of Warcraft.

- And that’s it. Off to work. More later.
