Saturday evening. Barely 40 minutes, Xanga time, before I blow my posting streak.
Just had Thanksgiving Dinner II:Return Of The Turkey. Beth wanted to have a T-Giving dinner of our own, so that she could have leftovers.…
Friday.
Bloated beyond measure.
I will have a can of slim-fast for lunch.
This is looking to be a productive weekend, as well as a relaxing one. I am making good progress on my playtest draft of 'Secret Project B', an…
South Park.
Tonight (11/27/02).
Man.
That was bloody great. Matt and Trey (the creators of South Park) took on John Edwards directly. They didn't use any of the usual "Oh please don't sue us" outs, like having a chara…
Must..maintain...posting...streak!
I am bloody tired. I got abut four hours sleep last night, thanks to an unexpected caffeine binge, so I spent most of today in a slight daze and the past three hours in a near-coma.
…
There is no air conditioning in my office. We are, thus, a very cranky reptile.
Got feedback on my first playtest draft today, or, rather, last night. Extensive feedback. "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the pl…
Monday. And my review has been moved to a week from Friday. The good news is, assuming I'm not fired, I'll be owed nearly four months of backdated pay raise, which will make for a merry holiday buying season indeed!
Bet…

Well, that was cool!
We had an earthquake, evidently a 3.9 very close to here. Nothing was damaged. A transformer might have fallen over, but, let's face it, most of them will fall over if you look at them funny. Posing…
Sunday morning. Beth is making breakfast, of the genre of food known as "If we don't eat this soon, it's going to go off."
Last night, after many, many, tries, I finally defeated Ursula. Some tips in case any of you try…
My fears about my Kingdom Hearts skills have proven well-founded. I spent the last hour losing the Aquatica boss battle, again, and again, and again. And I have a callous on my thumb.
Phooey.
Slow Saturday. Beth has done sterling work in turning the house into something resembling the abode of civilized human beings, and I have turned a lot of pages of notes into something resembling a playtest draft. Tomorro…
The nice thing about the world is that there's never any shortage of things for me to be outraged about.
In Nigeria, 100 people are dead in a riot over the Miss World contest, apparently sparked by a newspaper articl…
From the "First thing we do is, shoot all the lawyers" department:
http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/11/21/fast.food.lawsuit.ap/index.htmlThere needs to be some special punishment for people who bring lawsuits like this. Some…
It's a ranting day, it seems.
We have, today, two examples of the highs and lows of the human race.
On the 'high' side, we have this story, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17496-2002Nov20.html, where we …
OK, rant time. Y'all know what to expect.
This rant is in response to the order of the removal of a giant stone idol from a courthouse in Alabama. Every newspaper article on the subject quotes someone claiming that t…
Hm.What can I say besides, "I'm still sick, but I'm at work."?Not much. Have a nice rant to post, but it's at home. Beth is also at home, doing well mentally/emotionally but doing not-so-well physically. I am the one wit…
Sick. Fluish. I hate being sick. I managed to lose the entire afternoon. And now, I can't send outgoing mail, because my outgoing mail server is down. I had all sorts of ideas about how I could use me 'day off', but they…
Quotes from Saturday:
"Oh, damn, I dripped cheese sauce on the argonaths."
It's now Sunday, but I think it's Monday, Xanga-time. This has been a full weekend...
Friday: Harry Potter and the Persistent Low Level Headache. MUNI was its usual nightmare self. It took me longer to get from the Emba…
OK, here's some outrage for today. I'm awake now.
Go read: http://www.cnn.com/2002/EDUCATION/11/15/pennsylvania.patriotism.ap/index.html
Please note this quote:"It's getting away from teaching about what our country …
Sleepy. Trying to work. Two hours to go home.
Meeting today, which I had forgotten about. I got to spend 2.5 hours in a sales pitch in a hot room with no doughnuts. It is my great dream that, someday, I will be invite…
"Bored now." (Willow Rosenberg)
So, here I am at work, writing a Xanga entry on my Vaio. Why? Because an hour ago, our tech dude decided to engage in a '20 minute' procedure to make sure all my software was legal. This …
Not too much to say; just trying to stay in the habit of posting. Beth is home, and doing well enough, all things considered, but y'all can just read HER blog now so you don't need me to do updates.
But just to keep thi…
Beth is home, working through her schedule. I'm at work, working through my to-do list. A patina of normalacy has returned.
Full week. Yesterday, game. Tonight, game. Wendesday, Thursday home, time with Beth, and much w…
Beth is home, and I am in pain. These are not, I believe, related. The pain began late yesterday afternoon, and hasn't stopped. Large doses of ibuprofen are not helping. If it wasn't for the fact we haven't played Sail…
Mediocre "Futurama". Good ribs.
Got a decent amount of writing done this weekend, and it suddenly hit me just how much more I have to do on my FFG project if I want it done by Friday...somehow, I'll manage. (Hey, I can…
We always knew artists were nuts...now, we have scientfikkle evidentiary!

If this goes up before Xanga time resets to tomorrow, I'll have seven consecutive days of posting! Yee-hah!
Yesterday (Friday) was..OK. The morning was hellish, except for the 'cold rain' instead of 'lake of fire' part …
Minor side note. Boris decided to give me an impromptu nostril piercing. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
We are NOT a happy Lizard. (Oh, yeah, we upgraded to Xanga Premium. Note the font. And the border. Yippee.)
It is raining here. I am sodden. I have been sodden since 5:15, when I left work. I arrived home at 8:05. This …
And here we go! My third entry of the day. I should wait half an hour, then it will be tomorrow (Xanga time), and I'll have five consecutive entries, which might be a record for me.
Lessee. Last night's Buffy...OK. Sort…
One quick note on election day, which I meant to post yesterday. As observed by a friend: "In America, on this day, we elect politicians. In England, they're burning them in effigy."
It's 12:17 AM here. I should be in bed, asleep. I *should* be in bed, asleep, next to my wife, is what I should be. Sigh.
For those of you who do not own cats, some important advice: A cat can exist seven, perhas eight,…
Maybe Friday. Maybe Monday.
And we hear the canonical "Whump!" of Charlie Brown landing on his back as the football is tugged away again...
It's come to my attention that, somehow, my main site's URL is leaking out to the world (I mean, it's not secret, but, let's face it, "whatbadgerseat.com" gets more hits), and thus, random people will end up here, as thi…

Not sure, but I think this is the longest I've been apart from Beth since we got married. Based on our conversation today, it's not getting any shorter. We're now looking at Friday, rather than Wendesday -- maybe. The …
Friday. Doing better. This is not so great an accomplishment as it sounds, as it's sort of along the lines of 'having one arm ripped off in a tragic, yet strangely comic, accident involving agricultural machinery is be…
