So I'm in a new room mate situation, having moved in with my old friend Colin. This is productive, since it's a block from work, close to food, and Costco. I've had promotions at work, and have a half-decent amount of cash again. New girlfriend means I am no longer brooding in my cave quite so much, and our contact being restricted to once a week keeps things fresh. that will last another month, or so, and then we will be spending a bit more time together.
I'm still not sleeping much, but it's rare that 4 AM is the time that I crash. unless I am talking to Darrin, and haven't the heart to kick him out so I can crash. my compassion for that boy holds few bounds. mostly because I know what he has to go home to, and I wouldn't wish that thing that calls itself his girlfriend on my worst enemy.
so the room mate who owed me money never did pay me. instead, she skipped town. I should hunt her down and cut out her ovaries to strangle her with. Fortunately for all involved, I lack the motivation to do so.
Artistically, I've been devoting my efforts to a MUGEN sprite of Supergirl. more news on that as it develops. MS paint is the DOS of imaging software. brilliant for its simplicity, and infuriating for the same reason. I do, however, have a full copy of CS3, which is win and awesome. unfortunately, Spriting is too small in scale for it to be truly useful.
I had to reformat my desktop, and lost most of my sprites, and artwork. I did, however, get a new laptop, which is pure unfettered win.
Work has me kind of burned out, so I got a transfer to another department. this serves several functions, including my not needing to talk to idiots in other departments, not caring about metrics, not getting fired for metrics that I've been shaky on, and padding my resume with additional skills and responsibilities, making me more hire-able at a later date. Until I went L2, I didn't realize just how incompetent the rest of the company is. I have three call centers that are now on my list of places devoid of real human intelligence.
the crack in my windshield is gone, but some jackass nailed my rear bumper in the parking lot. it's not bad. just a small crack, and a dangling light, but it's still annoying as all hell. With any luck, insurance will cover it.
I miss the snow.
