I was playing Shenmue II on the XBox. I played for several hours without saving (I normally do at night when I sleep [habit from Shenmue I], but it did not give me the oppurtuinty, so I didn't save). It then went to black screen after a cutscene and never returned to the game.

I've been listening to "Magic Works" from the Goblet of Fire soundtrack for the last two hours.

The geckos we have are rarely on the floor. Most of the time, they scurry around on the walls or the ceiling - way out of reach of kitty. I doubt kitty would even see gecko. Oberon rarely notices them.
The other thing is that those suckers are fast. And they jump.
Oh! I forgot! One time, Oberon caught one - it was a year or two ago. Anyway, the tail came off, cuz that's what the tails are designed to do (and then they regenerate the lost tail). So Oberon was stuck with a gecko tail but no gecko.
One of the next novels I write will be about Puck. I'm not sure exactly what it's about yet other than setting up the setting for a whole series of novels set in this odd little universe of mine. And it takes place in a bar.
Hmm. I wonder if Oberon will be in it? Nah, probably not. He comes in a later one with Titania.
Eh. Gotta figure it out, gotta figure it out.
Edit cuz I have a real problem getting names straight.

I really need to stop attributing to malice what can more easily be faulted to laziness, incompetence, indifference, or simple error.

My laptop's Briseis. My green iPod is Elphaba. Briseis is getting old and cranky, and if I don't breed her soon I may be out of a computer. Elphaba is young; in fact, I just got a new black iPod case.
'Cause you know black is this year's pink.

When requesting money from an organization based in the US, please submit your budget should be in US dollars. Particularly since we are recieving requests in euros, Colombian pesos, Mexican pesos, reais, lempiras and various other currencies and I don't have the time or energy to find the exchange rates.
And don't tell me that a flight from Bogotá to Austin costs $1400 when I can easily find flights for the same dates for $700.

And before that I was going to become Hindu. And before that I was going to be Catholic. And before that I was going to Buddhist. And before that, and now, I'm Lutheran.

I think I may have just gotten in contact with this kid from my Jamboree troop who was, and still is, completely awesome. I think I got in contact with him. I think.
Either that or I'm e-mailing someone I don't know...

Hooray, this thread is back! Funny, but just a few days ago I was wondering what had happened to it.
--
If Gates McFadden of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" married Bill Gates of Microsoft, she'd be Gates Gates.
--
I've been thinking and thinking and thinking and I just can't decide which name I like better for a son: Justin Hayward or Marcus Aurelius. Good thing I don't have a child on the way.
--
If the gas that is expelled in flatulence had color to it, making it impossible to disguise who had done it, would that increase or decrease the social stigma attached?

Relating to my earlier post about people requesting money, it's hard to come up with a letter that tells people we really want them to come to our conference while also telling them that we don't have any money to give them. Particularly when it's obvious that the person will be unable to come unless we pay for everything. And it's even harder to write that letter in Spanish or Portuguese.
I feel so mean. Posts: 959 | Registered: Jan 2002

I'm watching the Stargate: Atlantis midseason finale and thought they were talking about Jedi (they were actually saying "Genii").
I've also had a bottle of wine in the past two hours
I am also about to reformat my computer. I think it's better if I do it while slightly intoxicated, so that if I mess up, I can blame the alcohol. Heaven knows I don't want to mess up whilst sober.
I also, finally, apologize for this. I don't normally post tipsy. But I wanted to get out a good-bye for now before I completely screw my computer.
Toodles! Hope to be back in a few...

I just stabbed myself with a fork. It was the damndest thing; It was sitting on the side of a plate, perched precariously at the edge of my desk. My arm inadvertently dislodged it, and as it tumbled to the ground I followed it, catching it, tine side up, just as the bottom reached the ground. It was slightly painful and I feel like an moron.

Sigh. I hate it when I'm lightheaded. I end up dropping things and having to clean up broken glass and stuff. It sucks.

And now, I'm going to go install Mambo and Dag's recipe component (although updated by someone else) onto my recipe site and be done with my former, not as organized, not as nice, recipe organization.
And then play with the templates that always seem to get screwed up for me.
But eventually, it'll be better than what I presently have. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Um, I don't even know who those people are, pH.

The new maid starts today. The old maid hasn't been here since before my sister and the kids were here, so September. She's gone awol since - can't find her, can't get ahold of her. Although her sisters know where she is and all, so it sounds like she's fine, just doesn't want to work or something.
So we told our trishaw driver that we needed someone, and he brought by this woman, Thilika, yesterday, and she's working for us today.
We'll see how it goes. I hope it goes well.
Except she speaks no English.
It could be interesting. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003
