Eh, this was the past few days...

Nothing much is going on here. Well, I can't say that... I greeded myself out of a lot of money in the lottery. There's an amazingly good random number generator in my head, but I don't trust it when I should; I picked some number, and then some more... and it turned out that I'd picked 5 of the 6 powerball numbers correctly, but spread them between 2 tickets; total winnings of $7. Oh well, it was fun to daydream.

My roomie's in Seattle, safe and sound. Well, he was safe and sound when I talked to him two days back. At least I've got a place to stay when I come visit, and I'm penciling that in for the first full week of September, so I can also see my sister in Bend and a friend in Portland. Hopefully it'll still be warm enough for a little bit of camping on the coast. God, I miss actual bodies of water...

Hmm, what else? Been gaming too much, but I've also dragged my butt to the gym two days in a row. Today was actually useful, because I walked there (6 blocks in the triple-digit heat), and managed to lift for an hour. It'll be the same thing tomorrow, but mostly leg work instead of the arms I did today.

Also, been reading more today. George Martin's getting a little better, because he gave me some characters to hate about 3000 pages ago, and it seems that they're finally starting to pay their dues. Of course, the way this guy molests a plot line, they might end up as the heroes!

Finally, I've rewatched Lady in the Water twice in the past 36 hours. I love that movie, but I don't know why. I think the "pushed over the edge" fantasy of the flick, plus the horror movie shades are the things that draw me.

The last thing is that I can't start work until Wednesday. My immediate supervisor is on vacation until then, so apparently there wouldn't have been anything for me to do. But I'm kinda excited for it now. At least I know exactly what I'm getting into this time!
