wednesday
Well, aside from my midlife crisis over highschool reunions, it was a good day. I was financially responsible for once and finally remembered to go the bank and deposit some checks (including the one from Bayani, sorry about letting that slip) and tonight I even wrote out checks to pay bills, which for some reason just kept slipping my mind to do, so some were a little late, but ah well, it should all work out. I even remembered to finally fill out an address change at the bank so the people at my old house don't have to write "PLEASE FORWARD" on my bank statements anymore.
The closest WaMu to work is in the Red Apple on 132nd street. They have a decent sandwich selection for lunch, though Safeway wins in terms of being much closer to work and having a lot of OTHER things like salads. On the other hand, the Red Apple is next to a Pagliacci's which is next to Tech Bowl or whatever... mmm, Pagliacci's...
Uh, I got screwed over today again by supplies at work and gave back my one TV box, was supposed to get a replacement, didn't. Doh! Spent the day debugging a python script instead, and eventually succeeded. Woo. I don't even KNOW Python so this is pretty cool.
Went to D&D. I brought a whiteboard to keep spells on. It works pretty well so far actually. We mostly just fought battles against drow elves today. I guess it was fun, and I got a spellbook from one of them, wheee! I was picking out spells and pretty much decided that yeah... burn mage. Whee.
In Puzzle Pirates... I left Black Death and joined Llyr's Pact. I suppose it was inevitable, but the reasoning was specifically that the new flag ("Carpe Noctem") has been formed, and Black Death can't join it until Complicated logs in, and he won't log in until we pick a new captain, and that won't happen for who knows how long, so... I hopped to LP so I could be involved in the damn flag and so I could plank Chernabog. Err, I mean, work on store stuff. Yeah.
Tomorrow I'll be at work for only a few hours, gonna leave super-early and go to the Red Sox vs. Mariners game with Brian. I cannot cannot wait. Yay Red Sox! Errr I mean... go Mariners! Well, tonight's game sounded exciting though -- Greg Dobbs homered in his first major league at-bat. And I mean... it is kinda neat that half the team we saw at Tacoma 2-3 weeks ago is now on the Mariners (Greg Dobbs, Jeremy Reed, Mickey Lopez... I guess my only question is, why didn't they call up AJ Zapp?). Heh. Well. RED SOX! WOOOOO!

I was considering spell cards but I'm awfully lazy. The paper clips is a GOOD idea though -- I had been wondering how I'd do it if I had to prepare a spell several times that day. Hmm. Either way, I don't want to go through another campaign of erasing and rewriting paper until it wears through and then having to make a new sheet. Seems silly.

LP seems more promising to me than any other crew I've shopped with because it's got the only crew management that I genuinely respect AND like. One or the other is easy enough to find, but both is more rare. :)
While I suck at SFing, I feel like I *should* be better. I am MUCH more successful with Puzzle Fighter. That says to me there's something else I'm doing wrong. Watching Rune play, I realize I don't play anywhere near fast enough, and I'm already playing as fast as I can. But I'm too meticulous about sliding things in hard-to-reach places and stuff. Meh.
As for preparing the same spell in multiple slots, you just use more than one paperclip. I'll hunt down Lycus and see if I can get him to post his exact system for you. He's got all his paperclips colourcoded so he's the only one who really understands exactly what he's doing with it. Obsessive-compulsive? Maaaaaaybe just a *little.* But that's why we love him :) ...And why he's the kickassingest D&D wizard ever?
