Smart now

Bought an iPhone today. See you when I've conquered Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies.

A marmalade of ponies

I was up way too late last night. That is two nights in a row I have gone to bed after 1AM. Making it miraculous I could get online again at 7am to work. I'm a self-destructive twat sometimes. On the other hand, I'm now a level 50 Hunter in WoW. For the Horde!!!

Tomorrow there is a work outing at Arlington Racetrack. I plan to go, but it depends on something getting resolved before I can log out and go. Fingers crossed. I love to bet on the ponies.

This little piggy had none

I broke my toe last night, the one next to the little toe on the right foot. Ouch! I walked into a duffle bag full of books in the dark. The hallway was a terrible place to put it. I must buy two more bookshelves for my bedroom. Until I do there are bags of books everywhere. I didn't go to the doctor. There is nothing to do for a broken toe. The whole toe is bruised and swollen. I'm told it will hurt for weeks, but that after the first week it gets much better.

I finally swapped my bedroom and former library. I had intended to move the bookcases into the new craft room, but once I moved my bed I realized that there was room for the shelves to stay. I moved the shorter shelves with crafting supplies and assorted crap. One of the short shelves was crammed full of books though and there was a pile of books on the floor that had never found a home. Two more Billy bookcases from IKEA should give me room for all my books. Then I can get some deeper storage for all the art/craft crap that has been sitting on the library floor since I moved in. I have yet to swap my hanging clothing with the shelves of crap in the former library closet.

Also, World of Warcraft (WoW) is an awesome, compelling and completely addicting game. Started playing with my nephew and I'm a bit obsessed. I'm staying up way too late at night. I may need to uninstall it from my Macbook Pro for the remainder of October. It would be a shame to not finish Halloween costumes because I couldn't stop gathering herbs, making potions and killing humaniods for their loot.

Bugboy wants to be a cicada for Halloween. I will be a pirate again, but with some different accessories. I have a party to go to. Only four weekends left before Halloween. I've only started on the wings for the cicadas.

I plan to watch the VP debate tonight, or at least part of it. I have a meeting that ends at 8 so I'll miss part of it. I caught the end of the first Obama/McCain debate last Friday. I can barely stand to watch politicians these days, even ones I support. I think the expectations for Palin have been systematically set very low so that her performance tonight will cause a surge of support. Is anyone still undecided this year? The differences of policy seem so clear.

Somebody come and play with me

Every time Defective Yeti writes about games I want to run out and buy a few. His annual Good Gift Game Guide is out in the Morning News. There are several that I'd love to buy. Niagara, Ra and Shadows Over Camelot look good. The problem is that I never even get to play the games I own. I need to get my condo organized so that I can have people over for game nights.

That's the kind of thing that gets talked about but hardly ever happens. I play poker just about every week, but it is getting a tad repetitive. It would be so cool to play a completely different game some week, but I know that won't happen. So if you do have a game night, or buy one of these games, don't forget to invite me.
