Sick :((

Blerg — I’ve got a nice case of the flu. *tongue out* Mostly fever, chills, and achyness — oh and thirst. But thirst is good, since what I want is cool water, which is presumably helping the fever a little. This of course means I haven’t gotten any writing done tonight *blushing* I’ve got a pretty good idea what I’m doing next though (and yes it sounded good before I got feverish *tongue out* ) I’m not sure if it’ll actually meet the challenge requirements but it’s inspired by Min’s PowerSwap Challenge

Post Christmas Catch-up

I got Pocky!!! I got Pocky!!! Okay now that I got that out of my system *wink* I also got some rock candy, and some other junk food — all of which (except the 2 scoops of Baskin-Robins ice cream) has been set aside until we no longer have tonnes of holiday stuffs to eat up.

I got a couple books, a bunch of batteries, a new water bottle, some non-junk groceries, and some money — oh and a calender from my aunt Donna, and a pendant and some skin stuff (as well as the cash *grin* ) from Gram *smile*

We had garlic rolls, salad, and baked ziti for Christmas Dinner — pretty normal around here. I’ll prolly post the recipes later.


Programing:
Story-Storer — nada
HTML / CSS — Put together the page layout / templates for Lu’s new blogs — when I’m a little more caught up on my writing I’ll prolly ask him about smiles *smile* the simple near monochrome pages of Edward Yee would prolly work nicely with the black & white set from Enlightened Dreams, but the red/fire themed pages of Lu Baihu prolly call for a new set, or at least a recolor.

Currently Reading:
online — nothing much
offline — still sorta reading ‘Wind Water’ by Jeanne Williams.

Writing:
Don’t even want to look at how far behind I am — but am going to head over to that window and write the remaining parts of the 5 part 1+2 ficcy “Christmas Together” so that should catch me up some

Role-Playing:
We’ve been workplaying hard — though we’re supposed to be actually editing RaidFic Ch 1 today ^_^()

Cookies

Thought I’d share the holiday cookie recipies I used this year *smile*

I’m not giving times for any of these — largely because I don’t remember, but also because I only have a toaster oven, and the times will vary conciderably from a full size.

Almost Christmas :)

Some catching up to do here:

Sunday night and Monday was Solsitice, and well I did my usual of staying up all night keeping a candle going. Unfortunately I also felt like crap and got nothing done but some reading and a number of games of avalanche at Yahoo.

I’ve only got three more presents to wrap I think — it might wind up being 4 partly depending on what fits in her stocking and what my pile looks like tommorow night.

Today I got bit by the programming bug and put together a new MT plugin. Got stuck at one point and went over to the DevShed Fourms and got unstuck pretty fast *smile*


Programing:
Story-Storer — nada
MT plugins — wrote a quick plugin to crop text to the word boundery closest to a given number of characters.

Currently Reading:
online — Re-reading Lethanon’s VIVA
offline — finished Carlisles All by Norma Johnston
still reading ‘Wind Water’ by Jeanne Williams.

>< two days behind again and I haven't done today's yet either. :">

Lu seems to be awol right now, but we’ve been slowly going along.

Too late and too tired for a real summary post, but Solstice went okay last night, though I didn’t feel all that great. I’ll see about doing a summary post after I get some more sleep.

'One Word' scribbles

Glorious

I looked over the glorious pile of gifts I’d been given, unwilling to look away even fora minute for fear it would be snatched away like so many others had been

Belief

I wondered suddenly what these men and wpmen I was fighting believed — if they were actually anymore for the Aliance’s plans than I was, if they were simply doing what they weere told, to afraid to question, like so many of the civilians

Between

I groaned looking at the trail — talk about a rock and a hard place… I had the choice of a free climb or an ice field — there was no way I was going to back track not when I wasn’t sure if I’d lost my tail yet..

Chorus

I groaned chorus class was way on the other side of the building and I felt like shit. I pried myself out of the chair in the math lecture hall and grabbed my bag setting off at a run that my complaining stomach did not like at all.

Elements

Even the elements were conspiring against us, wasn’t it bad enough that most of the human race hated us, must mother nature too? I sighed and kept slogging.

Severe

The severe weather qas getting to all of us. 5 active boys in a one room hut — I wouldn’t call it a cabin — forget ‘2 women under one roof’ we

Marshmellows

I remebered the creamy sweet taste from a trip with Odin, just the two of us hidding from the cops… I wonder if Duo ever wondered why Marshmallows brought tears to my eyes?

Twenty

I looked at the calender, feelin ancient at 20. I should be getting drunk at college not taking care of kids who would soon be as old as I was when they became my respoincibility.

Technical

I looked over the pile of techincal drawing, the only tie I had now to the Gundam that had been my only conisitant companion of the moonths of fighting, blood, death, fear, and pain.

Finshed both the calender and the hat for my mother. *grin* Unless I get inspired — that’s it; all I’ve got is some wrapping to do.

The holiday busy-ness has fucked with that a bit, but it’s moving slowly, cut on the rp we were working on and back to one that’s been on hold 7 weeks or so. We’ve got too many ideas & rps *blushing*

'One Word' scribbles

Glorious

The moon and stars were glorious, so lovely over head, one might not even know a deadly battle was being fought among them. Or so he wished.

Discontent

I looked up at the man beside me wishing and wondering why he never showed me a little affection treated me like the other men did there sons, why we were always on the move…

Tender

His hands brushed across tender and sweet — nothing at all like the twin I’d slept with the night before and nothing at all what I expected from Fred

Constant

I wanted nothing more than something steady, constand unchanging — one little thing was it too much to ask? I knew the truth of cource that nothing stays unchanged…

Regard

I looked at him — the man I’d held in such regard — finally realizing what kind of man he truly was: barely better than that which he’d fought.

Not Linux

*Bangs head against wall* well my attempt at setting up my system to dual boot linux/win has failed — the supposedly correct linmodem driver for my win moden failed, and I’m sick enough of the project that I’ve reverted back to 100% Windows. On the desktop that is — you won’t see me hosting my sites on a windows server anytime in the forseeable future.

Now of course I’m stuck reinstalling things I uninstalled to make more room for Linux. On top of that my system doesn’t want to boot properly if I uninstall the utility I used to repartition my drives. I have one more trick that might help with that, but if it doesn’t work I’m likely to just say ‘screw it’ and deal with having space taken up by files I don’t use.

More Linux

I’m at the Library now but I did get Linux installed this AM *grin* *grin* Of course I don’t have the linmodem driver or Peng setup yet, but it’s progressing *smile* *smile* *glasses* I need to figure out how to uninstall a bunch of stuff — it wasn’t cooperating when I tried to only install what I wanted, so it’s got KDE as well as Gnome, and a bunch of games I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole. In a 2 gig partition that’s not good ^_^().

Once I’ve gotten the net connection set-up, I can start installing the stuff I actually want to run, like Gaim, and MozillaFireBird. Hopefully the span from when I get home to having Gaim rtg doesn’t take too long. Once I’m at that point I don’t care how much longer the whole project takes.

Production

I looked at the dark stage and wondered what had been done here what would be done in the future. the ope ampitheather called to me, and I hoped we could get it in use again.

Tender

Tender touches, the anithisis of the life I’d lived… there werevsomthing I craved above all else, the only thing that could put me back together, and make me whole

Constant

What ever else it had been war and violence had been a constant in my life, somthing that no matter how distastful was always there. I looked ahead and wondered…

Linux

I’m finally planning to make at least a partial switch to Linux. At the moment it looks like the main tool I’m going to be going to my Win partition for is Campaign Cartographer: a mapping tool, though of course I’m likely to wind up going back to convert files as I do the swap over.

Right now I’m mostly reading and doing nothing. — I cleaned alot of old junk off the drive, and uninstalled some stuff. Later tonight I’m going to uninstall Gaim (IM program) & Firebird (browser) and then scandisk and set to defragging the drive overnight. I hope to repartition/install before I head out in the am, but it may have to wait till I get back in the early aft.
