    Still no IRS acknowledgement and the weekend is here. Individual tax season is done. I've been thinking about resuming it, so let's go.

    The snoring continued uninterrupted. She made a second attempt by bending over and speaking louder.

    Happy Armistice Day.

    The nice part of doing these blog posts is that I can post rants here and get things off of my chest without any concern of if anyone else will read it.

    Warning: Drivel ahead.

    I like the new MLP. Yeah, I've mentioned that before, but it bears repeating here. Long story short and as a result of this fact, the son of my wife's friend, whom I've mentioned here several times before, now says he likes the show. As a result, in thanks to ...

    GTA5 stock market fun - I start the game up before my wife comes home for lunch and I look over to see that Wiz is at $1.02 or so, and I haven't seen it or much of any other stock lower than $2, so I go all in with everyone. We do stuff, I go on with the rest of my day. We have dinner, get back on for a bit more, and I look over at the market again; turns out that Wiz dropped to $0.47 before it climbed back up to $0.97 when I was looking. Swell. I guess I'll just try to hold on until it's $1.50 ...

    Today's photo tour was a pretty good time. I didn't get any incredible rush of crippling nostalgia or onset of suppressed memories. The autumn air was cold and crisp but thankfully dry, and being in the area felt more generally familiar and comfortable than anything else. Though I did have to reflect on realizing that when I encountered the janitor at the old school, the words "I went to school here thirty years ago" came out of my mouth. That's probably the moment when I most strongly ...

    Some of today's free time was spent at my parent's place so that I could see my mother tend to my sister's child. She's three months old now, and seems to be growing healthy so far. She's still immobile and won't crawl, but I don't think that's supposed to happen quite so soon. Otherwise, she seems pretty normal and if anything a bit benign in not crying so very loudly that it splits the eardrums or at the drop of a hat. I was able to hold her for some long stretches (enough to wait to have some ...

    On my days of slothenly long sleep, I find it very difficult to actually get out of bed once I'm at the point where I know I am awake and will not resume sleeping more. I know it's contrary to what many fine people have said, in that I should immediately spring out of bed once I'm awake and get on with the rest of my day, but the gravity of the mattress is so great that I find the pull irresistible. Not to mention the wonderful feeling of being off of my legs, which always seem to have a sensation ...

    Thanks to some temporary payroll hour restrictions at retail work, I had some upcoming days in which I was not scheduled where I normally am, and my wife logged onto the site for me a while ago to determine that the coming Friday and subsequent Monday would be two such days. As it turns out, though, it was today that was one of the Mondays which I was not scheduled, so imagine our surprise when I went through the normal morning routine and arrive at the place to make that discovery. Fortune had ...

    My immediate supervisor is a grandmother at age fifty or so I think, and while we were both on lunch, she was flipping through an issue of Cosmopolitan and was totally scandalized by some of the content in the articles. After other people in the room asked her, it seems that she managed to go through her entire life until today never having read the magazine or hearing about it second hand, and had no idea what the magazine was about. It made for a good laugh.

    I guess I should possibly ...

    Portal. Red Dead Redemption. Journey. Fallout 3. The Last of Us. Street Fighter 4. World of Warcraft. Spelunky. Dark Souls. Super Mario Galaxy. These are the games featured in Eurogamer's Games of the Generation series, the last article of which was posted today.

    How many of these ten games did I play? Zero.

    Portal? FPS, pass. RDR? Eh, I've played GTA4 and 5 plenty, and nothing about the theme compelled me to care. Journey? I get the impression that watching a movie ...

    I forgot to commemorate yesterday's 777th blog entry to Finch. Alas, the figure will be gone once this is posted.

    What I usually do for Halloween candy duty is sit outside and have a boom box set up behind me, so that it can play a CD that I make with most of the tracks from the Dracula Battle Perfect Selection albums, and a few other Castlevania related songs. Throughout all of last night and most of today, there was enough rain to keep things wet with puddles to be found everywhere. ...

    Two years ago, my wife obtained a 1.5TB hard drive which was given to me as a Christmas gift for use in my older Win XP machine that I used to play Lunatic Rave and MAME. I was running out of space to hold all of the various BMS and ROM files on the machine and requested to get that at the time when getting HDDs was still a relatively expensive process thanks to that storm which hit Thailand at the time. The PC eventually became useless, so the HDD was never put to use. Today, the drive has finally ...

    I should stop having Tuesdays like this, where I sleep in for the majority of the day and feel adrift and aimless once the motions of dinner and post-dinner gaming are done. It turns a week of four days work with three days rest into a five day routine week with two days of ultimate freedom.

    Uneventful work day past (well, relatively uneventful; a coworker was finally fired today after months of it potentially happening), dinner consumed, games played, a shot of Black Label down, a beer in hand, and I sit here ready to write for the remainder of the evening. Then one of our two cats strolls by, this one being the cat who's a wannabe maine coone in that he has a normal sized body but the fluffy coat and poofy tail of the larger breed. This means that there are some very special times ...

    The new IRS A2A client came in the mail today, and it appears that I won't have to go through some mystifying process of compiling the Visual C++ or Java source code myself; that's something which I couldn't manage to do, as it didn't seem that I had the resources required to do it, so I've been using Version 1.0 for several years now. The physical label on the disc is a proper printed screen and not handwritten with a dry erase marker, so I feel a bit confident in this version being more useful. ...

    At retail work, I now have a key for operation of the mechanical forklift and scissor lifts. My direct training will be tomorrow, and all should go without incident. Here's hoping my actual use of the machines will have the same results. Days when I have to work and my wife are at home are rather long, just for the lack of taking a moment to visit her when she goes to lunch.
