Be My Girl

This was a darn good day.

I wrote a hair over 1000 words while watching three, count 'em, three races on Speed (all at the Mosport course in Ontario).

I kept myself under control at Half-Price Books, only purchasing 5 books total - and the PageMaker guide I picked up still has the CD inside!

Erin and I saw The Simpsons Movie and howled like loons.

Had some family drama this week.  Dad was hospitalized Friday night with some monster chest pains.  A bout of pleurisy, instead of, oh, heart problems.  Anti-inflammatory medications are doing a nice job.

Friday night at work, I got to indulge my inherent tendency towards misbehavior.  A particular sales goon turned in a large number of ads just a few minutes before 6 p.m.  Ads that had to be completed Friday night for publication this weekend - grr.  All of these ads were quick work, thankfully, and I took care of them myself, to not use the time of the more capable designers on such minor things.  I also approved the ads my own fool self, sending them all on their merry way.  The rep, who is responsible for a lot of problems for our department, was still at her desk, waiting to see the ad proofs, when I went home around 8:30 p.m.

Blue Monday

Another very good day.  Cooked out at Elalyr & Tegyrius' house.  Hung out and shot the breeze for several hours.  Consulted with T regarding a matter that has of late planted itself in my head.  It all may be for nothing, of course, but I'll know in a couple of months.

Other discussion involved the ol' Spycraft cops game.  I do believe I could restart that one inside of a couple of weeks, if I was of a mind to do so.

Did some work on an underdeveloped villain group for my M&M game.  Crime family.

It's Sunday night, and I've still got another day before I have to go back to work.  I love the long weekends.
