Another end of the month post eaten by the blog dating here. I wonder when it will show up.

I'm noticing that my back teeth on the right bottom side of my mouth are very sensitive today, despite not having done anything particular to put pressure on them or eat anything abnormal. I think I might have to schedule a dental visit sooner than later. It's been a long time.

I think I should probably find a place to go during my lunch break at work. I was OK with being in ...

It's been years of this that I've been trying to do things my way for the furtherance of my career. I explain things to anyone else in general and at worst, a response of little more than a smile and nod is what I get. Not from her, though. No. In one evening she cut me right to the bone and deeper than anyone else has done in years. Years. Where was she so long ago?

In other news, I'm glad I was able to return all of the unused merchandise from yesterday's PC installation without ...

Just in the deadline. What a day.

Today was the day for shopping, and I'm just glad that I didn't get these items for my own personal use. The shopping list was a few select items; mouse, keyboard, Internet adapter, USB hub, two power cords, one video cord (DVI), one video cord adapter (DVI VGA, just in case), power strip. The power strip happened to come with a few HDMI cords, so that helped justify that particular item; otherwise, no item on that list was more than $25 - yet the total managed to be around $160. I will be passing ...

Well, my head ran the full gamut of emotions today, but thankfully a mail came just recently which basically settled all the variables that I had been contemplating and has essentially put me back on track. It's in respect of a personal manner rather anything like a career or the like, so that's the extent of detail which I shall provide here.

Game night is on so I am off.

Songs weren't that great today in respect of new records, but it felt pretty similar to yesterday ...

Friday's fun rendered me mostly useless yesterday. The end tab was $366 and it proved to be very worthwhile to have the hotel room, as sleep worked out much more nicely than trying to drive home would have. Unfortunately, I didn't wake with such an appetite for any food on Saturday and spent most of the day in a stupor, though thankfully without much of an accompanying headache. I should have tried to cram some food down my throat just to get my body going sooner. Oh well. Regardless, I took advantage ...

I had a moment to get a few songs in. Some weird bad plays came about but for it being pressed on time and given how most charts were on the more difficult side, today's session went better than I expected. Here's hoping I live to see tomorrow, at least.

What an empty day.

With little else specifically scheduled to do today, I spent a lot of the time trying to get the streaming going yet again, and while I think I have reached a point to where I can put up the dual images and audio in some regard, it's not the greatest of quality for either the viewers or myself. The stream upload is definitely not a smooth 30FPS throughout, so viewing it isn't great. On my end, the running of the HDMI splitter and additional computer causes more ...

Our Internet was knocked out for most of the day yesterday, so I paid a visit to my parent's house to get some work done and take care of some business. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to transmit some returns from their location so it had to wait until today. I'm lucky to have had the chance to transmit them today, as we made an appointment for a technician to repair the cable here and they're scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I'm so glad that Comcast is buying out TimeWarner. Comcast is already such ...

Game night is go.

Songs were OK enough. Five records. My wife came down and inadvertently watched a few of the plays. It was something I was thinking of asking her to do at some point recently but never found a good time. Today ended up being the day.

The two cats are going through some sort of phase right now where both of them pester me throughout the night because they want to have me give them attention and petting while laying with me on the bed. For one of the two, this is normal, but for the other one, this is a new development. The two cats don't usually hang around in the same space; thankfully, their confrontations are not actual fights that require them being pulled apart, so at least I don't have that to contend with while I'm trying ...

I've already whined about it elsewhere but to recapitulate and expand on it in a different respect - I bought Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition today. I generally strongly dislike playing FPS games, and my first hour with this didn't feel any better than the rest. Regardless of my personal opinion about them and how poorly I play them, the reason that I even bothered to do this is for the sake of having a better time in socializing with friends over a game. The alternative is what I have presented for ...

At least I was able to get a tax return done (ready to be filed, not sent yet) while home on my lunch break today. Other than that, what have I done? Not much of anything. I suppose I could try to squeeze something in during this last hour before bed, but I probably should just try to get some sleep, considering how both cats did their best to deprive me of it last night.

Songs. Ascalon caused a crash towards the end of the session, so goodbye play counts. Oddly enough, it was only ...

I did get some Forms updated last night and slept as long as I allotted myself until the start of the day. Saw my wife on her lunch, got her up to date on the day, put a few finishing touches on some information for the message board, saw her leave, went about my exercise. Got done with the exercise, showered, and get into position to make the call. 1PM comes and I'm the first other person to join the conference, and the other two show up afterwards. What happens next? The new addition to the discussion ...

I went to bed at 1AM this morning and came out still feeling lethargic at 1PM. After I was done exercising and walking up to join my wife and her mom for dinner, I had a sensation almost like I was about to faint. She had cooked a side dish using couscous and cilantro seasoning, the latter of which I'm not particularly used to, and I wonder if the smell of it is what threw me off. I know that I didn't react to pleasantly to the smell of it some time ago, but I at least managed to eat the food regardless. ...
