So the weekend work total was 45 hours between friday morning and sunday night. This includes 3 failed SBS installs, 1 storming nic taking down the network, all file permissions needing to be rest, 2 isps giving me the wrong IP information, and 4 failed dns updates. Its not all in the can yet, but I am taking a break to go sit shiva for my Great Aunt Selma. She was great in every sense of the word. More on her later because she deserves a post of her own.
So ready to be done . . .
So it goes like this: I am a pretty novice roll player, and I am playing in one of my first games in years. The game details are fairly basic, Epic Fantasy, an original world (more game details behind cut if you are interested). My character — for ease of description — is a High Priestess of Chaos. I have a fairly large amount of magical power gifted to me by my Goddess. *BUT* I have NO control over how it manifests. (HEE!) I can control when it manifests (I call upon my goddess for help). But the results are [...]
I’ve started catching up on some TV that I have downloaded recently. Dr. Who and Angels in America. and DVDs of Wonderfalls Angels was very interesting, I am really curious about the original material now, I loved playing spot the actor for all the people who played more than one part.

OTOH sometimes I realize I live in a “pervert” ghetto, the general [...]
A Slice of Real Life
Lots of Good lots of Enh . . . and even more busy and tired. Now that the project is “over” they have finally decided to proof read, and make complaints – I mean the person who is going to spend the most time on the site, never even looked at the admin section until after we went live. GAH! The project that just “finished” was building 2 sites to go live at the same time. 4 days after we went live, the Boss hands me enough changes to the smaller site, that I will have to completely redo the [...]
I wanted to thank everyone for their advice for the visitation and memorial service. I tried to employ as much as I could, and we all made it through. Its amazing to me sometimes, how the subtle differences in cultural traditions really make a difference. The visitation was a tad strange, being more used to the in home and non-viewing aspects of sitting Shiva. It seems that the visitation puts more more of a social burden on the grieving family. Being that no one will know all the people visiting as well as the people who are closest to the [...]
