random things

I like curling my fingers around the chill coffee beans, dropping them one by one into the grinder. The smell, the soft hiss of the water heating as the liquid drips down... it's been months since I made coffee home, and I wonder why. It pleases me.

No change to the grey wet world outside. I wouldn't mind so much, if it just wasn't so damp.

( I am not nearly this cool in real life )

I like Front 242. Where are my Ministry cds, anyway? This weather is perfect for certain sounds.

I have an invitation to a celebration on next Thursday that I'd like to go to, except that I don't have a car. It's probably not somewhere I should be anyhow, but the thought is nice. Still looking for a job. It's unpleasant. Too bad none of my friends are wealthy enough to afford a house girl. I'm going to practice cooking more in the meantime.

Thanks to Reive, I have a lovely family photo on my desktop now. It makes me wish I had leather gloves.

don't mind me

Would you just be quiet, infernal man? If you didn't want everything, we wouldn't have nearly this much trouble, now would we?

"A girlfriend may leave me, but chocolate never will."
Why must advertising be so evil, and yet sometimes so amusing?

gaming madness

I am watching something I don't think I have ever witnessed before. Melynda is fighting the giant Lizard Boss in Baldur's Gate. She ran out of healing potions, but discovered if she kept running she could stay out of reach and her health slowly regenerates. Every now and then, she stops and gets off an arrow or two into the giant lizard man with the spiked club. How she keeps running in all that full plate, I don't know. But this has been going on for about fifteen minutes now, and she needs about six or eight more shots to finish him off. Her tenacity is impressive. Most players would have died, and restarted, bought a hell of a lot more potion, and gone back.

Oh lord she killed it. And leveled up in the process.

As for myself, I've been indulging in some LumosNox fun. Torturing a Weasley, and writing lots of snippy, vexed owl posts can be fun. Makes for great internal monologue, if nothing else.
