Hard Weeks

Howdy, friends and neighbors! Man, I've hard a tough couple of weeks. Ever since thanksgiving I've been busier than a butt-legged man in a nun-kicking contest. Deadlines to meet, servers to build and ship, the entire back catalog of X-Files to watch. We're all the way up to the one where that guy from Monk kills people with his dark-matter shadow.

Not that it's all been work-related, mind you. I've recently re-discovered video games. With the little woman away this past weekend, I eschewed eating, bathing, and sleeping to sail a cartoon boat around an imaginary world in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Despite the obvious gayness inherent in all Zelda games, I'm secure enough in my masculinity to declare this THE BEST GAME EVER. I haven't been sucked into such a bottomless miasma of escapism and bad personal hygiene since the first Zelda, back in '88. That's right: miasma!

Anyhoo, that's about it. Almost. I also got a call from a rather large open-source company that you've probably heard of to come work for them in England. Maybe I'll move there with my sweetie, who knows. It'll be a big investment at first, since I'll have to buy a bowler hat and have my teeth darkened, but it'll probably be worth it, just for the weather.
