prismakaosIt's almost Friday. It's almost Friday. It's almost Friday. Do you think that if I keep repeating this to myself, I will be more able to deal with the fact that it's not Friday yet? It's almost Friday. So close, I can get the barest taste of it, filtering through the day like sunshine through San Francisco fog. (It has to be San Franciscan - that's the only reliable place to see fog and sunshine, after all.)
On a whim, I bought tickets to go see Air in San Francisco last night with a female coworker of mine. The fact that she's female is important, if only because it attests to my continued attempts to find more cool girls to hang out with. The show was fantastic, but I ended up walking all over San Francisco in 3" boots, which wouldn't have been so bad had I not done the exact same thing in Mountain View only the night before. In any case, my feet are a little achy, but honestly, I think this is more due to the fact that I don't walk much any more (there's not a huge university campus that I'm trying to cross multiple times every day for class) than the boots themselves. These boots are Boots of Awesomeness +2 at least. Even if they don't improve my awesomeness, they are awesome enough in their own right.
I was going to segue into something witty here, but all I can keep thinking is that it's almost Friday and more immediately, it's almost time for me to go home. See, I'm crazy, and I often come in ridiculously early and leave relatively late. I'm only allowed to work 40-45 hours a week, which means that by the end of the week (in our case, Thursday, since Friday is apparently the start of the week according to Kronos), I have too many hours, so I have to take off early. Thus, my coming in at 945 (due to various things like Alex and I both sleeping through our alarms and us therefore catching the 825am shuttle instead of the 730 shuttle) does not actually preclude me from leaving at 430 in the afternoon.
Firefox is a bloated piece of software and nothing that I use on a regular basis is coded for IE. It's really annoying when I'm trying to read my email and can't do it because FF is memoryhogging my computer. No matter, I will persevere.
In other news, this (ZOMG NOT SAFE FOR WORK) is weird. This is also weird (although it's mostly safe for work). This is what I get to look at at work, when I'm looking at new trends in advertising.
And finally, since I should probably pay attention to the irrelevant-to-me-meeting I'm in, does anyone (aside from the person I got the link from) know much about this mod for Half-Life?
Bah. It's almost Friday. (It occurs to me that I should perhaps be wishing for the weekend, but Friday night is kind of also the weekend and Friday is donut day, so I'm going to get me some awesome donuts tomorrow. Also, tomorrow will be spent writing performance reviews and not doing any other work, so it's kind of like a non-work day anyway.) And I need to purchase a copy of Legend.

Date: 2007-09-21 02:07 am (UTC)In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and Natural Selection for Half-Life.
And the earth was without form, and void; and Kharaa was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be TSA: and there was TranSystem Authority
And God saw the TSA, that it was good: and God divided the TSA from the Kharaa.
And God saw everything go to hell in the form of awesome, awesome intergalactic warfare.
Seriously, Natural Selection is truly the universe's gift to gamers. Just ask me, Bryce, Yang Yang, or anyone I've been able to convert into a NSer. Merge Aliens vs. Predators, Starcraft, and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War or Company of Heroes, and you get a perfectly baked, crisp, unburnt mod known as Natural Selection.
Clan EGC produced a really well-done horrid "white" rap video here: Boondock Marines. Not exactly what I'd like to propagate, but it does show a lot of buildings, lifeforms, upgrades, and is rather pimp.
There is a moderate learning curve, so new players should play against bots in the meanwhile in "Combat" mode. "NS" mode is for experienced Starcraft-like strategy FPS players. You can find me on [KcK] Server #1 as [218]Degenerative when I play. Get used to playing as the TSA Marines before you even think about moving on to the Kharaa alien swarm.
Go NS fanboys! Donate to Constellation! Support NS2!
