A friend of mine recently loaned me the first four books of the Harry Potter series. I kept meaning to read them, but was reluctant to buy them when so many people had copies. This friend loaned me the UK Editions. UK Editions? Apparently they’re different, most notably the title of the first is Harry […]

The mourning process… guilt.
January 15th, 2005 by pleia2
I was sitting at work earlier this week, people came back to the office after their daily lunch trip and someone had bought a strawberry shake. A strawberry shake is something my father asked for while we were visiting him at the hospital. Annette went to go get one, asked at the cafeteria, at the […]

Tired
January 13th, 2005 by pleia2
Man, I’m tired. I haven’t slept well this week, I don’t know why. I cut out all caffeine Tuesday in an attempt to sleep better, but it hasn’t really helped (and it’s made it quite hard to make it til 5pm at work). I thought I’d be exhausted enough wednesday night to sleep well, but […]

Kill Bill, fish, catster, wallace and gromit, Caligula….
January 9th, 2005 by pleia2
So I finally say Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2. They were fun to watch, definately Tarantino movies though, which makes them hard for me to rate on a 1-10 scale. They’re on the high end, but I really can’t decide if I just liked them or loved them. Maybe I’ll need to watch again […]

Sunday evening out
January 5th, 2005 by pleia2

A lousy book and fixing Net::IRC bot
January 2nd, 2005 by pleia2
I rarely stop reading a book in the middle because I dislike it (the last one was Preternatural, awful awful!). I guess I’ve been lucky recently to have good recommendations from friends so I don’t often stumble upon bad books. When I saw a copy of The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling […]

January 1st, 2005 by pleia2
Oh I hurt. But it’s all good, I had fun last night. We arrived at and ‘s place around 8. I bought my desktop system, and Michael brought his laptop. It seems laptops were the popular choice for this lan party, only two of us had desktop systems out of about a dozen people. Sheesh. […]
