Ready For Spring?
Apr. 5th, 2006 12:05 pmSo I woke up not long ago to thunder. That's cool, I thought. I like thunderstorms. I hear the pitter-patter of rain, a few more peals of thunder. I make shower, a spot of lunch, wrestle with the net a bit, and then pop upstairs to take a look-see if the mailman dropped off anything.
It's snowing. SNOWING.
Let me repeat that: SNOWING in APRIL. With THUNDER.
Okay, the thunder stopped earlier but still. What the heck?
To the best of my memory, in the past thirty years it has snowed only once in April, and that was not the monster snowdrift that's happening right now. This is really verging on blizzard status, if the wind was a touch stronger and if it was sticking. As it is, there's gonna be a lot of hazardous driving.
Last night's dreams were strange and disturbing. Whenever I see Mom in dreams these days she's always on the verge of going away, and when I wake up I have to remind myself that it's all right since she's already gone and that makes me feel a little better but how messed up is that?
Well, I need to go here. Heading once more into work. if I'm lucky it'll be a quiet day, I come home at a ridiculous hour and go to sleep almost immediately in order to wake up for the early shift tomorrow; lather, rinse, repeat for the next six days. If I'm unlucky... then we get the frickin' customers from Hell and by the end of the day I want to bang my head against the wall to make the hurting stop, I come home and go to sleep almost immediately in order to wake up for the early shift tomorrow; lather, rinse, repeat for the next six days. I keep saying 'eyes on the prize' but that prize is damn far off. I can't help but feel that this job would be much easier if people didn't suck.
Darth Nukus feels I should bring in the lightspork and eviscerate the fools, but then he'd say that if someone overcooked the soup.
Speaking of Hell, if you're looking for a game recommendation, then it's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Lots of quests, lots of things to do, and a wide-open game world. It's Privateer for the fantasy set... multiplied by, oh, three hundred. It's like X with swords and sorcery. If you even remotely like World of Warcraft then Oblivion will interest you. It's the last word in fantasy computer RPGs, and it will rock your overworld and your underworld.
Pax.
