Today I'm starting on yet another project for Microsoft. I feel a bit like the son of Satan. I wish I could at least get x-box games for cheap. I have a friend whose brother apparently works for a company making ports of microsoft games, and he gets x-box games for $10. I might actually buy one if I had the hookup like that.
I have been very tempted by the modded panasonic gamecube that can be found at http://www.lik-sang.com/. They have all kinds of awesome products, actually. $500 is a bit pricey, but it'd be worth it if I were collecting DVDs or something.

Today I've got swat-team brain stem-cells.
Read a bit of the new Discover mag today. Did you know they think turtles may not age at all... ever? They die of accidents, viruses, and predators, but seemingly do not age. This explains why we still have teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles, as opposed to disgruntled 20-something-ninja-turtles working salaried day jobs and hating every minute of it.
I think it may be time for me to take a vacation. I need to talk with SOMEONE who knows how much vacation time I have, and when I get more... It used to be contingent on my anniversary with the company, which is actually coming up fairly soon here, and I've got a week to burn. On the other hand, maybe it's not anymore, and I've got to figure that out.

Today is one of those days that just rolls off you. I've already forgotten everything I've done today, and I feel very busy while having accomplished very little.
The impending house-purchase is going steadily. I'm excited about the prospect of living with Laura now. It'll be fun to sleep in her bed all the time instead of mine... and yet the video games and computers that make me feel secure will still be there, just waiting for me to wake up, comforting me with their presence.

well, Laura's car has a flat, so I gave her a ride, and I'm into work at the unbelievably-early hour of 8AM. How do people fucking do this? There were three of us here when I first arrived, and now the population of the office has doubled. I feel like some kind of lab rat. Plus, I should be wearing a sweater, my office is FUCKING COLD.
Oh yeah, everyone wish Yami a happy birthday. w00t!
