Oh what a glorious feeling sleep is, when you can get enough of it.

As expected, I have to shift things around to accomodate for folks to play D3 with.

I have a cat to pay attention to while I sit down here, so I can't think of much of anything new to write at the moment in the twenty minutes that remain before midnight.

Finished XML sectioning of Form 1120 S, which is continuing a bit more nicely now that I have figured out how to do some replacement ...

Got caught in some rain at work today. Thankfully I was on lunch for most of it, but that wasn't enough for me to stay dry, and I got doused pretty well within the hour of return. Two layers of socks will retain water pretty well, particularly when the shoes beneath them have holes in them which almost invite water to seep in. Despite that, there were enough people around to make the job not so completely loathsome as it is without them.

Quick Draft.

Well, it is out of the frying pan and into the tub of shit with me and distractions. Forgive me for making this sound like a total self-abuse cocksucking fest, but I really honestly do need to use adblock filters on everything that isn't specific forms which I visit or other non-bullshit sites. If I'm not pissing every hour of the night away on D3 I'm doing it on other bullshit, like even Omegle compels me to continue to refresh for just one more question and find someone else to speak with. I've ...

A site which I dive into every couple of months or longer, whenever I happen to remember it, is Omegle. It's pretty interesting to me what can be encountered within it. I've spent much more time with it today than I should have, but the latest feature of being thrown into a debate makes for a nice way to get a discussion going without the awkward ten minutes of tentative questions to establish how much the other speaker is willing to reveal for an identity.

It looks like I'll have to do some major date shifting in the draft content once I get everything organized and synchronized with what I originally had up with the website and work that I did a decade ago. Speaking of which - the site is still down thanks to miscommunication by the hosting company, and a payment which was made after we came to realize that the site was unavailable is still "in process" as it has been for a few days now, which tells us nothing helpful. Hopefully we can ...

Somewhat of a shitty day going so far today. Woke up with a bad leg cramp, had to let that ride out. Putz around and wait for a GoToMeeting thing to start, and that takes up my time before dinner. Wife wants to get some Mexican food for dinner, so I go to get it, and come home to find that my order was messed up. Go to Battlenet and read the 104 Patch news about the Wizard, find out that my second of two main characters will now have its main functionality nerfed.

Now I sit down to ...

Addendum to yesterday's entry about Pine Grove Hospital: The Racine Project is the means by which Carbondale was able to make an official connection to have Runners get direct and anonymous treatment for job related injury, as well as make sure that rivals who may have needed to be eliminated and had not met such a fate would assuredly do so in this location.

This is the site of the Pine Grove Hospital, which originally opened on August 15, 1883. The initial three story structure is within a portion of the current building which faces 32nd street to the South and was since renovated when the entire hospital was rebuilt in 1897. The 1897 renovation project was initiated by Carbondale after the suicide of Marilou Saunders occurred the previous November of 1896, who was subsequently referred to by the Runner ...

Emptiness. A numb emptiness is all that she could acknowledge feeling within herself. Her body still registered external sensations, yes; the frigid air caused her to shiver, her brain still understood that it wasn't comfortable in the night's breeze and undertook the chemical reaction to cause her body to vibrate and alleviate the coldness. She recognized the sound of that cold wind as it swept over the rooftop and caused the naked trees ...

So very drained today. The child stayed up well past 340AM and asked me for permission to open another bottle of soda while everyone in the bedrooms nearby was asleep and I was brushing my teeth. The zoo visit left my wife and her friend more drained than I had anticipated, in that the normal night of drinking was not as prolonged this time in comparison to any other time. When we sat to play the card game, I noticed that the table cloth was sticky and asked if we had a new one to put down. My mother-in-law ...

Up until 330AM today, then slept until 9AM, which is probably the best stretch of sleep I've had for a weekend visit by the current guests. The child wanted to play the Genesis Sonic games. I never got around to finding an emulator to play the ROM files which I have for the Genesis and thankfully had stored on the machine in advance, so a quick search and configuration setting put us in business in minimal time. I never owned a Genesis as a child so playing common games like Sonic 3 is mostly a ...

Time for another weekend visit by my wife's friend and her son. Needed to put treadmill activity before doing this so that way the room could be cleaned out properly before their arrival.

Don't have much time for this before they're here.

Also don't have time for Draft writing.

Another weekend visit by the wife's friend and her child is upon us, and I have a 7AM work start tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I can get to any draft writing today. I purchased the requisite booze for the weekend today, to get that out of the way, as the child has an absolute zero tolerance of doing anything on these trips which is not for his direct benefit or demand. Wine coolers for the ladies and a new bottle of Black Label for myself.

After the passing of a few weeks, the lawn is finally mowed. The "Guaranteed to Start" lawn mower which I had borrowed from the parents did fail in its guarantee at least one period of time between me removing a full bag of clipping to empty out. If the issue had continued for another ten minutes I would have become incredibly enraged that my lawn would have managed to essentially wreck no less than three mowers. But a cooldown was all it apparently needed, as it picked back up and allowed ...

Wife purchased a Razer Nostromo device for the PC, and it allows macro recording, so I'm going to test to see how that works with D3. Maybe I'll get banned for it! One way to find out.

I investigated the fuel tubing for the lawn mower and disassembled a small bit in order to take it apart. Gas drained out freely and nothing in any valve or intake part shown a clog or otherwise had anything lodged which I could remove. Reassembled the machine and it works just as poorly as before. ...
