Out Of Order



No serial this week. Or at least not today. Sorry about the lack of updates at all over the last week. I'm all screwed up with work and home and, I guess, life. But that's nothing new now, is it?

TheBoy has had a fever over the last couple of days. I caught the lull between editorial passes on Project CashCow and stayed home with him yesterday; Tine's got him today. A quick trip to the Dr office yesterday to make sure it wasn't anything particularly nasty. Oh, he loves the Dr's office. He tries to be brave and we have to reassure him no needles. But when the doctor comes in, he goes into freak-out mode. He's almost screaming when the doctor puts the stethoscope up to his chest.

It's about 925% worse if a needle shows up. But TheBoy has some viral infection that just needs to run it's coarse. Which means it'll make the rounds in the house. I don't understand how doctors, especially pediatricians, aren't just constantly sick. That waiting room was full of sick kids.

My luck I'll get sick just in time for the weekend.

Project CashCow should be out of here tomorrow. I should start working on the final leg today into tomorrow. With a little luck it won't suck the remaining fragments of my soul into the abyss. I'm not counting on it, but I can hope.

Plus, I'm trying like mad to come up with an opening video for this weekend's brikwar game. The Pipton Farmstead Terrors is finally shaping up into a good game. The video isn't exactly necessary, but it adds that extra glitz making it look like we know what we're doing. Once again, Sullivan has done the bulk of the work.

Someday I might actually be able to lend a significant amount of help. I go home and I still can't sit down and do anything I want until everyone's in bed. Which is why I usually burn myself out until 1 AM on all kinds of stupid things.

Oh, backing up, I got The Brikington Manor Horrors game mentioned on the All Games Considered podcast. I've pimped out the game to a couple of shows - mostly on the merits of it being a Halloween game. Have yet to hear about it on any other show.

We did some decorating for the season as well over the weekend. Next year, I really should do it in September. Putting stuff up two weeks before a holiday seems like such a waste. Especially for Halloween, which is my favorite holiday. This year has been so sucky because of every thing else going on at the same time.



This past weekend was also the NELUG Distribution Event. Where a chunk of the club's property was lotted off to the paid members. I got my bags of swag, but I blew it when it came to the raffle left overs. I took the first thing my name came up for and it was an Extreme Creatures set. Lots of purple Technic. Where the hell am I going to use purple Technic? I don't even use that much Technic now... I proxied for Alfred and he wound up with an extra bag of swag. Damnit!



I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Alfred will have some kind of "donation" for being his proxy and getting him that extra bag. [Subtle Hint].

Then I won't have to slash his tires.

Well, at least you have "stuff" going on in your life. The only thing going on in my life to report is housework and baking various desserts with apples. Did I tell you I'm sick of apples? Who bright idea was it to go apple picking?

Love ya,

No.. no prize. I do have this pound of drool that thing 2 left on my shoulder while I waited for mommy to come home with the milk. Want some of that?

The milk or the drool?

One sounds more fun, albeit deviantly so, than the other.

... the assumption being that the milk wasn't-store bought ...

I was offering the drool. You'll have to make negotiations with Valerie herself if you want to suckle on her teats.
