Shall we play a game?
Hey everyone, I'm working as a QA tester again, and the game I work on, Freaky Creatures, is live and looking for people to populate its server. It's a monster-battling MMO, largely aimed at a younger audience, but we've got a lot of grown-ups who really like to play as well. If any of you would like to try playing, we are looking to get as many people as possible playing this weekend. Follow this link ( 30-day Trial sign-up) and you'll be able to sign up for a 30-day free trial account, with access to one of our creatures, and parts and powers to equip them with. Please give us a look, and let me know if you like the game - we're pretty proud of it. Current Mood:  hopeful | | Thursday, January 1st, 2009 | | 8:56 am |
Happy New Year to all
Hey, I know I don't post nearly as much as I should, but I just wanted to wish all of you a happy New Year. I really miss a lot of you - I'm not sure when it's going to happen, since this year's vacation is pretty much spoken for already, but I'm going to try to get out to visit people as soon as I can. In the meantime, you are all under orders to come to L.A. to visit me! ;) Anyway, as I said, have a happy New Year, and may 2009 bring you all much joy and happiness. And remember, "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased—thus do we refute entropy." Stay in touch, folks, and I will endeavor to be better about it myself. And bonus points if you can tell me where the quote is from without using "google-fu" (Not you, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) morgi!) | | Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 | | 1:22 am |
Tony Stark, you're my hero!
Saw Iron Man. Still flying. I think Marvel Studios was an excellent decision by Marvel. I am now officially looking forward to The Incredible Hulk. And I am so ready for forward progress on Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, and Avengers. Gimme!! *giggle* Current Mood:  giddyCurrent Music: "Iron Man" - in my head | | Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 | | 1:22 am |
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes....
So, apparently my grandfather will be moving into an assisted care facility on Monday, and we will all be gathering to pack up the house next month. This made me randomly burst into tears. Well, not so randomly, as the first thing I thought was that it wasn't right that Dad wasn't going to be there for this, since he had spent so much time trying to get us all ready to deal with it. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that my grandparents' house will soon no longer be (and that isn't necessarily overly dramatic - many homes in the area are torn down and replaced these days, simply because the new owners have the money to do it). I guess I'm just hitting a point in my life where any illusions of stability and familiarity with my external world are being shattered. Then again, it could just be that I'm getting older, which means the people around me are getting older, and this is what happens when adults of childhood age the same 30 years that I have. *grump* Current Mood:  contemplative | | Sunday, March 16th, 2008 | | 7:32 pm |
Depressed
Today would have been Dad's 59th birthday.... I'm not handling things very well, I'm afraid. I'm much too quick to get angry with people, justified or not, and I tend to see-saw between that and tears until I get a hold of myself. I think I may start seeing a therapist once I have health insurance again. I know it's perfectly normal to miss him, but this is just crazy. I have to be able to function on a day to day basis without being an unreasonable ass. | | Friday, March 14th, 2008 | | 11:26 am |
Home!
Got home last night about 10PM, and slept. Yay sleep! We were up for about 24 hours on Thursday, and about half of that in the air. | | Thursday, March 13th, 2008 | | 11:52 am |
No time in Boston
So, we appear to be heading out on a 4:30PM flight to L.A., so no time to visit, unfortunately. If we get bumped and have to stay overnight, I will update everyone. | | Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 | | 7:32 pm |
So....
Any Bostonians who want to meet my wife? We may be in Boston Thursday afternoon/evening on our way back to L.A., and if so we will have nothing to do but wait for the morning for a flight, most likely. I will try to update and let people know if this is happenning, but is anyone interested in picking us up at the airport or meeting us in town? Drop me a comment (or call if you have my number) and let me know, and I will try to let people whether or not we will be there ASAP. Oh, the joys of flying standby.... | | Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | | 11:59 am |
In London
Well, really at the hotel near the airport. We are both exhausted, so I think tonight is a total loss as far as doing anything. Whee! | | Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 | | 11:13 am |
Aargh
Packing frantically, as we got no sleep last night. Why? Because we were at the emergency room, getting stitches put into my lower eyelid, where my cat decided to kick me when he was done being held. So we have about 3 hours to finish packing and run ny errands we were supposed to do this morning. But at least we still get to go, dagnabbit! | | Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 | | 8:48 am |

Fuck you, 2007...
And the horse you rode in on. I am well and truly ready for this godforsaken year to end. Here's to the New Year. May she be a damn sight better than the old one... Current Mood:  depressed | | Thursday, December 20th, 2007 | | 2:24 pm |

Goodbye, Dad
My father passed away on Tuesday. He was 58 years old. My brother and I found him Wednesday morning after a co-worker called me, concerned that she hadn't heard from him in a day. I don't really have a whole lot else to say right now. | | Sunday, October 28th, 2007 | | 9:06 pm |

Dammit.
So, I know I haven't posted in ages, and my last post wasn't exactly shiny happy stuff, but unfortunately, I don't have anything good to offer. I got laid off from my job today, 2 1/2 months shy of the 1 year mark I set for myself to get enough experience to have a shot at staying in the production side of the games business without a degree. *sigh* Current Mood: depressed | | Monday, December 25th, 2006 | | 3:15 pm |
Exits
( Exits )I think I'm ready for 2007 now, thank you. Current Mood: devastated | | Monday, October 9th, 2006 | | 9:03 pm |
So, another birthday has come and gone. ( What happened??? )I can honestly say I'm looking forward to the big 3-0 next year! Current Mood: content | | Sunday, November 27th, 2005 | | 7:08 am |
A Midwest Thanksgiving
So, here I am, at 6:30 in the morning on a Sunday, on a borrowed computer, north of Indianapolis. How did I get here? Well, some old friends, morgi and tpau, thought it would be a neat idea for us all to get together for the holiday, since we hadn't all been together for a few years. It was decided that since I was on the west coast, and tpau was on the east coast, that it would be simplest to meet in the middle, where morgi lives. ( The trip so far )How's that for an update? Current Mood:  tired |
