Mid-Year roll-up

I can’t believe 2009 is already half over, but such is the nature of time – it just keeps on going without consideration toward any thing. It’s been an extraordinarily busy year for me so far, and I keep hoping that things will slow down to a dull roar, but so far I think things are actually getting busier as the year progresses.  Not a good thing for my mental nor physical well being, but in this kind of economic environment, I really have no room to complain. On with … Continue reading

A week of death…

Man I can’t believe how many public figures have been lost this week!  It’s just weird.  Ed McMahon, Farah, Micheal, and Billy Mays.  OY! In other news, I’ve been palying around with my new camera and posting pics over in my facebook album. I’ve also been going through some of my more “historic” photos and creating albums for those.  As for gaming, I’ve twiddled around in LOTRO and mainly been turned off by it, yet again.  It still suffers from some design faults that are systemic to Turbine games – … Continue reading

Slow Gaming Week

I’ve only been playing Battle Forge, and that sparingly.  I’ve been spending most of my leisure time this week watching the new Dr. Who series on DVD.  I finished Season One on Wednesday and I’m two discs into Season Two already.  I’ll probably finish that up over the weekend and then start watching some other vid’s I’ve got coming my way.  One of the “hazards” of working at the library is that it’s very easy to request a hold on anything in the collection and pick it up on your … Continue reading

Facebook . . . reevaluated

A co-worker had me log into my facebook account, which has basically been sitting there idle since I created it last year. Then she showed me how to make “flair.”  And I’ve been a “facebook junkie” ever since!  And since I’ve been hanging out there so much over the past few days, I’ve been adding friends and getting in touch with folks that I haven’t had contact with in years!  Dunno, maybe it’s my version of a mid-life crisis or something, but just saying “hi” to folks I haven’t been … Continue reading

May Rollup

What a busy month!  I can’t believe how much I’ve neglected writing in the blog, so I’m gonna blame work for that! 😛  I’ve been really busy trying to put together purchase plans and distributing and configuring new computer systems for the library that my time has just disappeared on me.  By the time I get home I just wanted to vedge in front of a game or do some reading. On the gaming front, I was jumping into WAR fairly regularly, playing both my Order and Chaos toons.  Then … Continue reading
