Gary Gygax Dies
Sad news for all of us nerds out there. This article was a fairly good homage though. Better than some of the other less tasteful ones that I read. (“Gary Gygax rolls a natural 1 on his fort save.” Horrible!)
Happy March (It’s March!)
I bought a printer this weekend. A really monkey good one too! I’m really excited… I haven’t had a printer in a while because the quality is always good enough to want to print, but just bad enough to be thoroughly disappointing… This new one though… wow. Hot damn! It’s got 7 different inks — the most I’ve ever seen in a home printer — and of course a scanner (that seems to be standard nowadays). It can print on CD’s and DVD’s. It has a ton of other really nice features… OCR of course, and standard stuff that any good printer should have, but the most important feature is the 9600 dpi and 7 color printing. That’s seriously professional level. Basically, that means if I want to make professional prints, anything that’s under A4 size paper I can handle on my own.
Work has been busy… crazy busy really. And this month is even busier as the new fiscal and school years all begin in April in January… so March is when we get tons of new applicants. So my schedule is popping at the seams. I’ve also had 2 different colds these past 2 weeks, which sucks big time. But I changed some part of my regular eating habits and it’s helping me get a lot more energy, which is pretty important.
I guess there’s not too much to report. Life is normal. I saw The Golden Compass finally, as it just came out this weekend. The movie was OK, though the book was much better. However, the ending theme song was quite possibly the worst piece of music I have ever heard in any movie, ever. It was absolutely atrocious!
Other news? Well… uh… I beat Crysis. That was a really fun game. And I’ve been watching movies and going out with Hitomi. Pi-chan is healthy and enjoying things. The weather is just beginning to warm up the tiniest bit. That’s really it… I can’t think of any more. (Why is it that I can always think of stuff to write when I’m not sitting in front of my computer, but I can’t think of much when I am here?)
