OMGWTFVORP

I shouldn't be awake. I suck.

Trip home from Pittsburgh was okay. On the PIT-PHL leg of the flight I was sitting in the middle of the University of South Florida baseball team, which was pretty damn funny. On the PHL-SEA leg, I sat next to an extremely chatty Mexican lady who was studying Hebrew. I'm really not making that up. She kept asking me for help with Hebrew, and tried to talk to me in Spanish since I admitted I'd studied both of those languages. The in-flight movie was Fun With Dick and Jane, which was pretty funny. I had a cheesesteak in the Philly airport, too, which ruled.

Oren gave me a ride home when I got to Seattle. Yay.

Today at work I looked over Jack's shoulder and tried to learn lex and yacc by osmosis. I partially succeeded, at least enough that by the end of the day I was able to spot errors and such a little.

After work I went to the White Sox game. Eddie Guardado sucks and it went into extra innings. Johjima didn't play, so there was no Johjima-Iguchi Hawks Battle. I took pictures of Jon Garland warming up in the bullpen before the game. He's cute. I saw Matt Thornton in the bullpen, too. Whee. At least the Mariners won the game in the 11th inning, otherwise I would have been stuck there all night.

No attention span means I've been writing and doing random crap since and thus it's 2:30am and I'm going to sleep bye.

Death of a Sailsman

One of the guys in the UK contingent of my flag in Puzzle Pirates died this morning in a motorcycle accident. Despite that I didn't get to talk to him that often due to the UK timezone difference, he was one of the first people I met in the game waaaaay back in the beta-testing days, over two and a half years ago, and has always been a pretty funny guy to hang out with in-game.

It's really weird and numbing to think about. I mean, I never met him in person, etc, but I know he leaves behind a wife and some number of kids (being as his wife is also an active member of our flag in-game), and it's just strange to think that I'll never see him log in again because he's dead.

I dunno. I wonder if there's something we can all do for his wife... Looterati is weird that way because it's like, we are a pretty close group of friends, but many of us have never met and very few live in the same geographical region, so what do you do in a situation like this? Bleh. Unlike in-game weddings, which are sort of silly, I think in-game funerals would be just plain bad.

(edit: Yeah, so it's Barnie from the FJTR, for those who play PP. As Jacq pointed out, kmf put it in her LJ publically so I guess it's ok to mention.)
