Geek On The Mountain

Last week was a fun one. I was sick for most of it, so it was just kind of there and gone. I had a cold or something. I’m feeling a lot better now, though I’m still not completely over it.

I got some fun toys. I’ll have to post some pictures sometime here… that’s about where the fun stops though. I didn’t really get too much accomplished. Of course I didn’t feel up to accomplishing much either. Maybe this week will be better. It should be anyways.

I worked all weekend, again. We haven’t had a day off yet this year, although the last couple of Sundays we haven’t needed to work the entire day, which is nice. I’m thinking this Sunday we probably won’t have to work at all, but as usual, only time will tell. I may just take a day off during the week anyways. I’ve never worked this many days in a row before. I may have had enough.

Milenka and I cooked together the other day. It’s nice to be able to do that again. We made her spaghetti, which is basically just a spicy sauce and then you put shredded cheese on it as well when you serve it. It’s really good. We used to make it a lot years ago, or rather she did, but she hasn’t in a long time now. I was making it for a while, but even that’s been some time now.. Also, I always did it wrong. It never came out quite right. I think there was some sort of confusion going on with the doubling of some ingredients when they really shouldn’t have been. At any rate, it came out right this time.

I’ve been reading the Anita Blake series lately. I’m going through it relatively quickly because I’m reading it at home as well. Usually I do most of my reading at work during breaks and lunch, which really only leaves me with at most about 30 minutes of actual reading time(once you take out time to actually eat food and such) per day if that’s all the reading I do. They’re really good. It’s this whole world that’s basically like ours except vampires, werewolves and other such monsters actually exist. Vampires actually have rights and you need a court order to legally kill them even. The main character, besides killing vampires, raises the dead for a living. They’re well written murder mysteries with the supernatural twist that have action, action, and more action all back to back. Apparently the series eventually turns into a huge orgy (there’s like 10+ books thus far) and is totally different. I’m almost through the third one though and they’re really good even without the sex.. I’m also still reading Raymond Feist’s Riftwar Saga books….I’m on the second one right now. I have 4 of them altogether. I can safely say that they’re not as good as the Anita Blake books, but they’re pretty good.

I have too much TV to watch as well. I always wanted to see the older Andromeda’s. They spent all fall playing only the latest season that I’ve already seen over again. Now they’re replaying the first season so I get like 4 or 5 episodes a week….I think I still have 6 or 7 of them waiting plus Stargate Atlantis and The Simpsons. And here I used to never watch TV… TiVo is a blessing and a curse.

I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about getting my lip pierced (bottom one, in the middle). The main deterrent really is the aftercare which basically involves cleaning it a couple of times a day and rinsing your mouth out with anti-bacterial mouthwash any time you eat anything at all. You do this for somewhere between 6-8 weeks… Despite that, I’ll probably do it anyways sometime here…most likely a little bit closer to spring than not I guess.

I also added a counter at the bottom of the sidebar just for kicks. I didn’t feel like making AWStats or other log info available so a sitemeter counter is a compromise. Exactly how accurate it will prove to be is beyond me.

I’ll see what my weight is in the morning. I was down a few pounds overall last week. If it would warm up a little bit (which it looks like it kind of is) I might be able to jog a little.
