Resolution

Well, I got my sitation with the prof resolved as much as I could ever think it should or could be - The weekend wasn't the coolest ever but it was interesting the say the least. Joey and Ester came down friday night - we drove into decatur and checked out the majestic (a kick ass diner off ponce). When we got back to my place, it turns out my blot broke into the locked position. So, our likely trio had to wait around for the lock smithy to come by gratis Post properties to get us back into my place. We didn't get into my place until 2am. Joey and Ester are now the proud keepers of my Kung Fu and Aqua Teen dvd sets. I hear Kids in the Hall (season 1) is out april 27. too bad I won't be around to see that happen. they also have my now defunct ibook (it died for the second time thursday).

today i get to make my first trip overseas. i'll be out of touch for roughly a month and i'll have limited internet access. so, if you need to get in touch with me for some reason, just kick an email to my gentoo account and i'll get back with you when i can.

Been talking a lot with lj via email - it's been a refreshing conversation. Veruss has been really pushing me to get a desktop and to grab a copy of city of heros. i've been out of computer gaming for about 4.5 years now, maybe it's time to make a return to the scene. metroid prime's been a royal pain in the ass - I'm getting tired of the little "updates" that tell me to traverse from one side of hell to other and back again b/c there's a "distrubance in the electro magnetic field" - sounds a lot like the force...i'm suspicious. maybe i'll have to take on a sith lord or something equally unpleasant that the terminus of the game.

haven't done a lot of hacking of late for obvious reasons - i grabbed a bunch of books this weekend so, i'm ready to catch up on my reading. i'm always amazed at my reaction to books. maybe it's a placebo effect but, i just feel sharper after having gone through about 1-3 books in a six month period. i feel more at ease more prepared. i also think i'm going to start writing a book or something once i get out that way. i've been thinking about my life alot lately and i want to start putting some of my experiences to pen. i know no one is probably ever going to read my work but it's not really for them as PA would say.

I've been going through my speech synth/nlp books quite a bit, i'm still fascinated with the area, i've been getting a better grip on how to pull of scout. which has been wonderful.

surphaze got me a feature list for our first release of lymric. i feel that once i get a computer back, we'll definately have something ready by next fall, come hell or high water. i really want to just get this project released so we can work on `cooler stuff`.

best of luck my dear readers ;) i'll be back in a couple weeks.
