I essentially “came out” to D. this week about how I feel about her. After deciding I wouldn’t do anything to make her uncomfortable or set up an awkward situation, I wound up risking it anyway. I’m disappointed in myself for that, but I’m trying not to dwell on it. She’s been very cool about [...]
Christmas done. Spent day with brother and sister (and sister-in-law and brother-in-law) and most of my nieces and nephews. It was fun. Had spaghetti for dinner. Bookending the happy core of the day were two hour-and-fifteen-minute drives of burrowing into my head and poking at things that need to be left alone. Like how I [...]
I saw a link to The Mayfly Project and figured I’d jot down a couple dozen words pretty quickly. I found the number of contradictory words kind of amusing. death memory birth layoffs hate loss Dragon*Con beer sleepwalking swimming Nashville discovery obsession money wine anger friends alone disappointment renewal instability strangers frustration love
Going shopping today. What, me procrastinate?
I think I might’ve done something wrong the first time I tried Ubuntu 6.10; this time around I’ve had little difficulty, only a few quirks. MythMusic occasionally crashes, taking the whole MythFrontend with it, and yesterday it recorded an hour of “Law & Order” thinking it was two episodes of “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.” [...]
The last couple of nights I’ve had some really unsettling dreams, and I wonder if it’s somehow related to going off the caffeine. Friday night’s dreams were mainly of guilt or embarrassment; they’re all sort of blurry now, but they basically involved me saying or doing things that were obviously and blatantly the wrong things [...]
It’s far too early for me to be awake. I guess this is what happens when I fall asleep at 6pm. It occurred to me the other day that my “occasional” drinking of sodas and tea has become a little more common than that, so I quit again–to the tune of one hell of a [...]
I didn’t actually get moving today until 2:30pm or so… even after waking up at 7am and going in and out of sleep all morning. Skipped the office Christmas party. I wanted to go, but the traffic out there was insane. Now I’m just playing with the MythTV box and trying not to think.
Had dinner with Enigma, Shilantra, and Atox at Las Palmas in Murfreesboro last night; it was a lot of fun. Atox brought over a winter sampler of Sam Adams (which was much better than I expected), and we watched “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” and “Primer.” Today is laundry day, which is always good [...]
Ubuntu 6.10 has proven just a little too flaky for me; so I’ve gone to 6.06 to see how that does. It’s gone mostly smoothly, but I seem to have run into a little bump with mythfilldatabase: DB Error (Inserting into dd_schedule): Query was: INSERT INTO dd_schedule (programid, tationid, scheduletime, duration, repeat, stereo, subtitled, hdtv, [...]
