Blah day

A dark cloudy day that didn’t start out well… just a blah day.

Online gaming and RL…

So bleh Patti’s having problems again…
Bleh.
In other news, a couple of cool studies, done for IBM, about leadership in online games… http://www.seriosity.com/downloads/GIO_PDF_web.pdf (short Version) and http://www.seriosity.com/downloads/Leadership_In_Games_Seriosity_and_IBM.pdf (Long Version). They are both good reads if you are interested in the subject matter.
I’ve had fun working on the “blog” of several of the characters from World of Warcraft. It should be pretty cool and nicely in line with something I enjoy anyway. Fiendhammer’s Journal…
I’m starting work on a couple of my other sites as well. Trying to make them into something that generates a little bit of revenue. We’ll see how things go. So far I’ve got two customers for my simple hosting setup.

15 days to go…

…until I take class one of motorcycle safety. I’m excited and can’t wait. I got the glove from ebay this weekend and so I’m ready for it. I keep going back and drooling over various bikes. I am worried about not being good at it. But I also know it’s a learning process.
In other news me and Pooks are worried about paying for all the things we want to do in the coming months. We’re busy and have a couple of unexpected bills to worry about. It’s stressful but we’ve got a decent budget and some savings to fall back on if needed.
I actually have been impressed with the paypal money market account. It earns interest quicker than my bank savings account. It’s not insured by the FDIC though, so it’s all risk.
I just need to get cracking on working up more of my sites to earn money. It’s hard though b/c after work i really don’t feel like “working” with my computers. I just want to vegg in one way(Animal Crossing) or another (WoW). Speaking of computer games, I really love my DS. It’s been a lot of fun to work at making home improvements in Animal Crossing. In the art imitates life section: I replaced a real door at my real house this weekend. It would be surreal, but both virtual and real home improvements are needed and ‘real’ in their own sense.
It’s the first day back to work after a long weekend and I’m ready to go home. I’m slightly tired and have a headache. It doesn’t help though that most of the department is out for one reason or another.
Not a boring day, but nothing I really feel like writing about…

Long ago… or something like that.

Had a great evening with mom and dad last night. We roasted hot dogs and relaxed by the firepit. Pooks and I are getting annoyed with moving stuff. It’s just gotten disheartening recently.
I got a call from an old friend from G’ville on Thursday too. It was good to talk with her. Hopefully she’ll be able to make it up to the house warming in Feb. I miss a lot of my Gainesville friends. Of course not getting involved around here like I did down there hasn’t helped. It makes me thing of how really long it’s been since I’ve talked with any of them. I do keep tabs on things, Earl’s leaving the church, Bob died, IHN keeps helping families. I may miss the superbowl party for the homeless this year. Makes me kinda melancholy. I know though that a lot of the people and things I knew from there are gone. The memories are of happy times long ago. I’ve moved, but not necessarily moved on.
It’s late and I don’t want to sleep. I’m rapidly succumbing to the sandman though.
