Jun. 12th, 2003 10:35 amOk, so I'm not keeping up, I've been busy.
Sunday I spent sleeping in, then went over to Nesia's house early afternoon. We...reaquainted ourselves after my absence, then went over to say hello to her parents who seem to be remarkably cool with me. Her father is very laid back, and even tossed me the keys to his Mercedes kompressor (a sporty variant of Mercedes) which we used to pick up a movie, and have dinner over at Moxies. Nice car, makes for a fun little ride. We rented and watched adaptation. WEIRD MOVIE. Adaptation is a movie about a script writer trying to write the movie adaptation, it's warped, but very cool.
Monday I get to see Helen again, first time since Thursday. I took her out to dinner where she expressed her frustration over the scheduling issues regarding being in the play, but having vented we had a lovely evening, and a lovely piece of cow. Home to watch some m.a.s.h. and go to sleep.
Tuesday, we took Pedro out for a final pint before he heads of town today (wait, I've seen this one before), but I was tired Tired TIRED, and couldn't stay long.
Wednesday went to medieval dance for the first time in........months. Spent time with Nesia there while giving Helen and Pedro one more evening home before he heads off, then brought Nesia home with me. We stopped for ice cream on the way home...I didn't need ice cream. I got a stomach ache for a bit.
Car update: Brought it in for an appraisal yesterday. They need to look at it in detail to see if there is engine damage, so I left it there and got a rental. All they had was a neon, 2 sunfires, and my choice of pickup trucks or vans. So I got saddled with a huge monster 4 door pickup truck. I dwarfed other pickups, this thing was huge! Nesia threatened to leave me until I got rid of it, I assured her I was replacing it at first opportunity once they got a decent size car on their lot. Indeed, this morning I have replaced it with a Sebring, a passable sportyish number that I barely fit into, but I do fit.
They have me testing at work, doing QA on the next release of one of our products. I hate qa, I really don't like it. It has no concrete goal. You basically put the product through the wringer, and see if any bugs fall out. You don't know if they will, you don't know what you're looking for, you just poke until you find a hole. When I fix a bug, I have a purpose. X is broken. If I apply code Y, X stops being broken. Once X works, I am done (that's a simplistic version of it, but you get the idea). I like knowing what I have to do, and sitting down and doing it.
I have decided to use more LJ icons of me. I like my italian masked man, but there are some good shots of me that I should run with. There are 2 shots in our wedding album that are possibly the best pictures ever taken of me, I am going to scan them in and crop them into an LJ icon.
Soccer tonight, if I can run home, get my jersey, and then get out to Kanata for a 6:30 game. rush rush rush. I want to be there earlier actually, so I can get warmed up. I think I need to run home (in my new Sebring) during lunch for the shirt. Yeah, I will do that. Then of to ESD for a bite after the game to say hello to fencing people and remind them I exist. I am resolved to fence on Sunday, so come out and cross swords with me. I whup you good, yeah, you heard me, I could take you one with one foot tied behind my head....or something.
