At least I hope so. Man, one appointment a day just isn't cutting it!
Oh sure, I've written more then 8,000 words this week, bringing the total to 58,363 total words. I also messed more with blender, and made this:
[[image:harc.jpg:Heavy ARC Pic:center:0]]
Which is the Heavy ARC Mizzy is currently playing in the PH game. Untextured, of course, I just wanted to see what it would look like lit up.
Very slow, like I said. One today, it must be dial up month or something, three people with dial up in the same month? What the heck? Oh, he "can't afford" high speed, which is interesting, as I look at the stack of Wii games by his huge, flat screen TV. And the guy is huge, I mean like three of me, so he could probably cut out the soda which littered his kitchen table. And he had a cell phone, so as his phone line is blocked by him using the internet, why not just cut out the phone line, cancel your dial up, eat half the food you do and bingo, you're set? Oh, and don't forget the Simpson's checks he had, which I realize is already spent, but points to a certain shall we say "penny wise and pound foolish" attitude? Anyway, he couldn't connect or some crap, but it was fine when I got there, so yeah.
Monday I sold a lady whose machine was hanging a slightly newer machine, and got that set up for her. That's dial up #2, the AOL lady I think I wrote about earlier? I'd been back there once and made it work again, but it was just hanging up, so I said, here, buy this machine for $50 rather then me trying to fix yours at $40 an hour. She agreed.
Tuesday just a guy who "couldn't get on the internet anymore" he had turned his wireless off, with a single key, because PCs suck. Updated some stuff for him and answered some questions. Big deal.
Dentist Monday as well. "Oh," she gushed, "You didn't have as much plaque this time, and your gums looked better too!" after finishing up. I haven't really changed anything, but okay? Oh, and there's the beginning stages of decay you'd like to take care of? Wait, if I'm doing better then ever at brushing how do I have a cavity forming? Doesn't make sense. Also one of my old fillings has a problem, so he's going to be grinding it down or something, or maybe replacing it! WOOH- not.
One job for next monday, of all things, but I did get a call at 9:30, a place I was at just recently, seems he's messed that machine up somehow, and now it's blue screening. He said an update took half an hour, I'm guessing he tried to apply SP3, which I would have told him was a risky business. Good for me, though, except he's like 40 minutes away. Got nothing better to do, I guess. I'll call him tomorrow. Monday dude only has himself to blame, he got social engineered into downloading a virus over and over, thinking it was some post office thing. HA-HA.
Game last saturday went okay, I was only partially useless. I was riding around inside Mizzy (see above) and finally figured out I could help her do martial arts stuff. Then I jumped out and surprised a guy, and even healed Neil. He managed to fight off two cyborgs by shooting them while they stabbed him, which nearly killed him, and Sean was all like, "he'll be fine". 13 points of damage is not fine!
Very nice weather out, I even went through my box 'o RAM, outside, to straighten it up, without a jacket! And anyone who knows me will tell you I like my jacket on outside. It could be 80 degrees out, don't feel it, don't care. I see you nodding your head, Mom.
Got my ink in. There was a slight mix up, I got 7 black but 13 yellow. Weird. Oh well, I guess I better print more yellow then black then!
Helped pull weeds and some other things at Grandma's house… should I still call it that? Humm… on Friday.
Guess that about does it, more writing planned for tomorrow, maybe finishing up another vintage system to sell, putting that screen back on ebay, more work on this PS3, little stuff, nothing that would, you know, make me money. Calling that one guy and going out there, that might.
Hope your May is not contrary!
