jackofallgeeksYesterday I went over to Louis's parents' place. It's really close to the house I lived in fifteen years ago. That was kind of weird. We had a cook out and I finally learned how to play Croquet. A combination of one lucky turn and John and Pat bludgeoning each other saw me as the definitive winner. It's oddly good to see Christine; I don't think I ever knew her as a kid.
Today I called out of work sick. I meant to call my home warranty company and set up a time for them to send someone to fix my A/C; I still haven't. Part of my likes being a little miserable, I think. I finished my requirement for eHarmony, which means they're giving my 6 months free. I won't be renewing with them.
I watched "I Heart Huckabees" today. It's been sitting in my living room for about a month. It was really, really, really strange, but pretty good. Most of what the characters say doesn't make much sense, but the movie makes a few interesting philosophical points. I also upgraded to 3-at-a-time (+$4/month) to justify renting some TV shows. The first are "Carnivale" and "Tin Man," with "Battlestar Galactica" likely to follow.
And now, a meme:
What were you doing five years ago?
The Usual. I was in college, putting off schoolwork, studying scripting languages, playing something called "Achaea," getting back in touch with Stacy (who I've lost again), and feeling lonely.
