8384 – I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

I am of a positive mindset in a melancholy time… got news of a quiet patch ahead, but I’m confident of things working out for the best in the long run. I hope that they’ll seem that way along the short and middle run, too.

In related news, I do believe that dreams can come true. I’ve seen it happen, and for that I’m happy. It continues to be a good week for dreams.


Lunching with mom after work, catching up on family business, and will generally gab. Remembered what was going on on Friday – maybe a get together with some old coworkers for a brew, maybe karaoke? Maybe not.. those things tend to evaporate. I want to visit with Kev again before he hits gitmo, too.


Blood donation and shots went well. I’m glad I’ve worked out a schedule where doing platelets is feasible.

Superman Slurpees at 7-11! I think Sucking the brains out of Yoda made for a better mug, but this one is nicely geeky, too. I wonder why they didn’t do this with the Batman/x-men movies?


Note to self, do not iron while sleepy… looks like I set the heat too high and treated a blend like cotton. Ah well, excuse to get a fresh shirt or two! I was more peeved that I had to iron *two* shirts, rather than carbon-scoring the first one. Better the shirt than me!


If I had posted only one entry day for each my 8384 entires… that’d be just about 23 years worth of journal posts. Yikes.


Second Life updated to 1.10.1 yesterday. No noticble change, though bug fixes:
* Improved avatar lighting to more closely match in ‘nearby lights’ and ‘sun/moon only’ modes
* Improved flexible attachment behavior while crossing a region boundary


Bro swung by work yesterday, looking for some coin “for gas”. He’s got his calendar call tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes. He was looking much cleaner and in order than when he visited mom.
