Christmas Update
Christmas is my least favorite time of the year, honestly, which is why I generally try to spend it elsewhere. But I foolishly thought I could make great strides in cleaning up my apartment, so I turned down the offer to visit my parents.
SPECTRE has given us Christmas and the day after off, so I've got a four-day weekend.
Friday night: Worked till 7:30 PM, went home, worked some more on another project, finished off Call of Cthulhu-related draft and sent to the shadowy Mr. Harms, watched R.O.D. - Read or Die (thanks, Laurel!). Politely turned down offer from parents to visit, who did not seem pleased, or interested in counteroffer that they could come up to visit.
Saturday: Lazed around the house, doing nothing useful. Unless hanging out on IRC or Second Life has a higher purpose I'm unaware of. Discovered that a drink of equal part cranberry juice cocktail and Ketel One isn't entirely suckworthy. Played some with a word processor for OS X, Mellel - seems promising, once I figure out tables of contents and how to make text flow. The application and documents open much faster than Word. Found out a friend has diabetes.
Sunday: Packed up one bag of books, which I brought to the local church. Could have brought another, but decided not to. Continued lazing policy. Talked with Bryan briefly.
Monday: Packed up bag full of books again, though I'm not sure why since I can't drop them off anywhere unless Symposium Books in Hoboken is open on Tuesday. Did more work on project for SPECTRE, noted questions for researcher, tried to check work e-mail only to find I'm locked out because it's been too long since I changed my password. Or something. Again, lazed.
In ultimate sad commentary on Western civilization, watched a movie on a TV inside Second Life (Panic in the City) and picked up a free TV for the plot of land I bought. Looked for Civ IV disk, since the stupid copy protection scheme requires you to put in the disk each time you want to play, with no success. Research continues. Meanwhile, looking through various tutorials for Mellel.
Tuesday will likely be when I do everything I should have done Saturday, Sunday and Monday - pick up antidepressants, see if I can get my beard trimmed, go through clothes/do laundry, drop off box of books for acquaintance in Texas and pick up more boxes for books to ship to Lee.
