Weekendishness

My weekend in a big wordy nutshell...

Primarily worked on Lock Mastery. Currently writing a system to automatically generate semi-randomized areas on the fly, for the next set of ranks to be released. It'd be quicker to just make one area and reuse it, but that'd be lame. I hope to get this stuff out sometime this week, but I know better than to make that an actual ETA.

Took down my old printer and scanner, which will be finding a new home with the lovely and talented Josh and Sara, and set up my new printer/scanner combo. I like it. It's black, so it matches all my other stuff, and it's freakin' fast at printing. Plus, it takes less space, although it did involve some rearranging of existing junk.

Did a fair amount of stuff around the house, along the lines of washing dishes, cleaning and vacuuming the office, and I'm currently doing some laundry.

Went out drinking Friday night at Millstream, and last night at Applebee's. Found another beer: Amber Bock.

Worked a little bit on a song my Dad and I had started recording when they were up here last weekend. I should mention that I had a good time when my parents were up, and it is always a pleasure to see them. Oh, I just did.

Also laid down most of a heavy version of House of Pain's "Jump Around". While looking for confirmation on parts of the lyrics, I discovered to my chagrin that Limp Bizkit had also done one of these, but Fred Durst is an idiot, so that invalidates basically anything they do. Denise will probably come home and slap down some tracks for it on her Warwick. Chick bassists are teh hot.

Speaking of House of Pain...sort of...I was watching Mark Osburne's classic short film "More" a couple of weeks ago, thanks to Fazed, and it reminded me of the video Tool did for "Sober". So much that I couldn't remember whether the Sober video was just a bunch of excerpts from "More". Anyway, as I'm sure you know, it's not, but I did discover that you can watch a crapload of old videos that you would normally never see again, on Yahoo's Launch service. It's free, although it requires registration with Yahoo to watch more than one or two. The only way that really relates to House of Pain is that I just went and watched the video for "Jump Around".

Also, I played a little bit more Doom 3. I'm in Delta Labs Sector 2a now. Literally!

Activate Teleporter Sequence


Yeah, okay, Sara's right, that was gay. I had a specific reason for it, but it's none of your business what it was.

Also, I bought Burnout 3 last weekend, thanks to Bubba. Thinking about finally opening that up tonight. Further bulletins as events warrant.

Currently listening to: "Beer", Reel Big Fish
