Just another Maniac Monday

Eli and I spent the evening in an unpacking frenzy, to decide whether we can have our Housewarming party this Sunday, October 20th. I'm hoping we can. I wonder if I should just send out email tonight and invite people and worry about whether we can actually pull it off later. The problem is if we don't do it this weekend I think we can't do it for like 3-4 more weeks because of Halloween and DDR tournaments and crap. So I hope all of you in Seattle can make it to a party. That means YOU, even if you think I don't mean you. Yeah, you, the ones I haven't really met yet. :P

We had tuna tataki for dinner again. Whee!

Work was okay. Fun meetings and stuff. I almost raised my hand during one to say that I know something about XSLT, but then I realized they might actually want me to do stuff, so I didn't raise my hand. I'm lame. Actually, I'm probably pretty behind on stuff anyway... I admitted later to one of the developers that I used to do quite a bit of XML/XSLT stuff. Hopefully, he won't tell anyone. :)

I got to see what a football day in Seattle is like. It gets really crowded down by the stadium and there's a lot of noise, and the buses can't pull up to the sidewalks because everyone parks all over the streets. Whee.

Yeah, no kidding. I wasn't paying attention because I just got back from Boston and I drove to work. Then I caught up on email and found a nice message saying "the hordes will be descending upon us" and scrambled to figure out how I could leave work early.

I'm glad I left before they towed me; I was in a lot that promises to tow people "three hours before game time" and I used up one of those hours.

I wasn't a sports fan before, but working near a stadium has strengthened my anti-sports sentiment. Why did we raise our taxes to pay for this?
