Not that I am stupid enough to believe that it would in the 40-50s the rest of the winter, but a man has to have hope. If he doesn't have hope, what does he have? He has not hope, that's what. You don't want to know what's in that stuff.
So what have I been doing with myself these past few days? Let me rephrase: What has myself been doing these past few days? That can't be right… anyway, friday, two jobs, who knows? I did reload the system that I tried to "repair" which got stuck on "please wait" while booting into windows (for about two hours) so at least that got done. Got to listen to grandma complain about how awful the help is. Oh, she's just so mean. Mean, mean, mean.
Saturday morning, Vista machine that was just thrashing and thrashing the drive, I turned off superfetch, indexing, couple of other things, and it kind of stopped, but it's vista, right? So I did what I could and hooked up his router, so that was a success at least. Then dropped off both systems I had worked on here. Of course the 10:30 one ran long so I was late to both of them, meaning I was late getting back here, so I ate lunch at 2:00 and left at 2:30 for Sean's. Arrived just as Stan/Sean arrived, so there was that. Game went great, got to finally finish the combat we started like a month ago, and made my magical items! Got our phoenix back, created a "portal" spell which is exactly what it sounds like, and learned "creation" meaning I can just make stuff out of thin air. Oh magic, is there anything you can't do? And did it all in the house of the dead Hag my magic helped kill.
I put a note on her and left the body in an alley: "I tried to kill the black unicorn". *giggles madly* That'll teach wizards who want my horn to be careful. Of course the imbuing rules changed yet again, and then again this morning, along with a host of other changes/fixes, so I was pretty pleased. Any game where Sean says "Well, we've got to change how that works now." is a win for me, because it's a win for him, because it makes his game better. Yeah. Didn't actually get to the plot of the evening, we were discussing what to do with our robot army and Neil decided his character was going to stay there with them, so he is making a new character. But it still went well.
Then today I watched a bit of Psych season 5, cleaning, discussed some things with Sean about rules. Going to play some firefight tonight, haven't done that in ages.
Figured out my subwoofer too. There was an amazing deal on woot on a speaker set with powered subwoofer. Like, half the price I would pay for a decent subwoofer alone. But I have one, it's a complete system with a left and right speaker built into it. But I could never get it to work, so I thought my port might be busted or something. Well, I took another look at it, and there's two actual power switches on the thing! One on the woofer, and one on the right speaker. So I plugged the right speaker in and that activated it, saving me that money. Score. So now there is much base about the place.
Almost at 50,000 words for the Dean's Story book. So that's coming along nicely.
Talked to, sorry, listened to My Buddy Bruce talk for twenty minutes, didn't believe a word he said. As Normal. Well, I did believe one thing: "Since you cleaned out the computer it's been running fine." That- I believe.
Then talked to actual people I could get actual currency from, very busy day tomorrow, with the shopping (bank closed) and then 4 appointments after that.
Should hopefully be a bit warmer too, that would be nice.
