Pointless update

Does anyone want a Teak wood desk - left handed? It's heavy but nice, has a locking drawer. I'll help move but don’t' have a truck. It's fucking heavy.

My mom was in town so I sort of disappeared for a week. She's good and it was a good visit, though I'm kind of sick of walking around slowly. To top that off, I walked around slowly at a home walk through historic Hyattsville with C, which was more home porn than watching HGTV. I learned: a) it doesn't require the gay gene to home porn, but it helps, b) some places forbid mcmansions, c) Hyattsville is a cult and I think I like the initiation fee, d) other people get that thing in their back that tightens up when you stand and walk slowly for hours.

I play a lot of Diablo. A lot. I killed D in norm dif but am thinking of chilling the fuck out because I'm otherwise busy. Sadly I realized I could have researched, demolished, and remodeled my bathroom by now with the effort put into my video games. On the other hand, I think I'd like a nice back yard so I can sit out there with my beer and play Diablo outside on the porch at night.

I like lifting weights and how it makes me feel, but I doubt it'll ever get me a date. In fact, I think there may be an inverse relationship there. Oh, except with men. I'm not feeling that man thing right now anyway.

Work is exploding - we lost 2/5 employees in my group and 3 managers out of 6 total. I have a sweet deal here sure, but just as the weather is lovely and I could be playing video games by an open window I'll instead be working at home for long hours next to the open window.

While my mom was here I put her in the main bedroom and took the futon-y thing in the office/2nd br. The night she arrived it rained, and of course the roof and hence my ceiling leaked. Kind of annoying, but minimal damage was done and I get my cracks and paint fixed out of it. Huge downside is having to move everything out for a while. Hence killing that desk I'm sick of.

I may try to mix in some other remodeling while it's going on. I may not.

Typewriter, Smith Bros No 2 may sell for 100-500 depending on condition and patience of the seller. Man it's pretty - sadly researching it many remaining are being butchered for typewriter keys to use as art. I mean I like key art, but feel by losing the machines we're losing more than we're gaining.

We have a typewriter here at work and I can kind of use it without screaming too much but I'm not great at it. It's a shame when we need to tpye something, like a check that can't align with the printer, and it takes three of us to figure out how to do it on the typewriter. My co-worker who is only 21, is absolutely terrified of it.

I'm slowly starting to get more into Diablo, but, there is still a ton that I have no clue about. It also feels kind of easy compared to WoW but, maybe it's just because I'm still so early in the game.

I hadn't thought about that...man a pencil must be a chopstick to kids today! My cell phone is a soup can...

I'm thinking of backing off Diablo - I got past him but it's so slow...very grindy. I've played a lot and learned the basics, but am really busy with other things...

famous last (addicted) words...and yeah it's easy. The reason bliz made so much money was they took D&D and dumbed it down to a near console version. Dumb makes money.

Keep working out and there's the potential to feel a lot of "man things", eh? ;)

I love those typewriter key art things. I had assumed they were just tearing apart old typewriters that no longer worked.

I bought 1 (well 2, a replacement happened) for my gf...but yeah they're killing elephants for their keys ;P
