And we're back. Not a lot to write about over the last week. I've been somewhat busy, but it's all just little stuff that's not very interesting. I did sell someone a machine when theirs died. Did a half an hour of work for York.  Transferred files between machines. Got someone back on the internet. Oiled a fan. Upgraded someone to 10.6. See, little stuff, hardly worth mentioning. 

 

Went over and fed the cats and birds over at my parent's house, Screamers was screamy, Fuzzy was fuzzy, half the cats said "don't touch me!" so everything was as it should be. 

 

Made ice cream which I found to take much longer then they said it would, but was delicious. Got through the second to last adventure in Demongate High, which went fine, Mizzy became a sort of half petitioner, and the stage for the final battle was set. How do you fight someone that can do anything? Easy! With violence of course! Lots and lots of it, directed at them until they can't do everything any more, but instead can do only one thing. BURN.

 

Worked at grandmas a bunch, finished cleaning the workshop ceiling out, painted the windows, put some bricks in the ground out back.

 

Even started working on the second Carlita's Tale book, skipping 80% of the second year I wasn't there for and don't have notes for. I'll have to fill that in if/when Sean works on stories relating to that time.

 

Read two more Xanth books, played some Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but my rage is directed at stupid Dead Island. 

 

I'm the throwing things expert, right? That means I throw my weapons away and must retrieve them. So I'm inside this hotel, right? And there's this one room with about 10-15 zombies in it, a couple of which are rushing me. I start throwing my highly upgraded, lovingly looked after set of knives and such until I run out and a big guy comes along and offs me. So I respawn, and look, all my weapons are now GONE. So now I'm stuck in the middle of a hotel full of zombies- totally defenseless. I looked it up, apparently it's sort of a common issue! Along with all the other problems that plague it. So I'm kinda sorry I got it, it's not been exactly a masterful experience. That's why you don't have a checkpoint save system in a game where things can suddenly go extremely wrong, you let me load my last save so I can recover and not do that stupid thing again. But nooooooo.

 

So I rage quit that game and went back to U.A. At least there I can run around as a guy made of fire so I don't have to worry about losing my set of knives. That I've spent thousands of dollars "upgrading" because you know you have to put a dollar in the sharpening machine to turn it on. Yeah.

 

Only one job for tomorrow, two for Wednesday though.  Normal shopping to do tomorrow, library, etc. 

 

Can you believe it's only one week until OctOgre? Then it's only three months till Christmas! Be here before you know it!

 

Now for a nice cup of tea. Which should I choose? Levitea?  I could always use some more humanitea. Have to stay away from the frailtea.
