Life Update: 5.17.2007
Hello! I haven’t dropped off the face of the Earth, despite my lack of blog postings and twitter postings. I’ve studying for finals, taking finals, celebrating Amme’s B-day, and getting reacquainted with my current favorite video games, in mostly that order. I didn’t post a happy b-day to Amme because I just plain forgot I had a blog, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL! heheh.
Amme’s brother Tony and I got Amme an iPod for her birthday. Its black and thin and super sexy; it makes mine look so plain-jane ;P Amme had class on her B-day, then I had to work all night, which really sucked, but I made her my Grammy’s famous Red Cake (takes 3 bottles of red food coloring and makes you nervous when you use the bathroom) the day before. I also got us some Dairy Queen burgers for lunch (which were amazing!) and we ate out in the sunshine by the river.
Amme has summer classes all summer, and they’re from 9-5 for the first session. Since I work 8-5 in the Network Op. Center all summer we at least get to have lunch together, except for today because she had to go to sleep at 6pm and get up at 2am!!! to go to a super-early morning shift at her job. I hope she can relax a little tonight if she doesn’t have too much to study for tomorrow. I worry about her.
B and Kelly finally got on Second Life, which made me start using it again. B and I went boy-shopping together at this cool store called Gritty Kitty. There were some freaky furries there with gigantic squirrel tails, and some loitering emo kiddies, but other than that it was a cool place. They even had a bitchin’ roller coaster but it wasn’t open so we played tag then went and found an amusement park with some crazy ass rides and coasters. I’d like to get Amme playing if she has the time. Lately we’ve been playing Worms World Party (Worms Armageddon doesn’t run on XP even in compatibility mode) in vs. mode and she’s slowly started to kick my ass on a too-consistent basis, which is especially impressive since I’ve had years of Worms experience. I’ll have to try to counter that somehow.
I made a nice iPod clone in SL, though its just eye-candy at this point until I figure out how to render headphones with a flexible path cord that will attach to the earpieces and iPod. At its current stage one end is anchored to either the iPod or ear-piece, and the other end blows lazily in the wind. I’ve sought help from various sources and we’ll see if anyone can save me. I’ve tried the Ivory Tower Library of Prims, which taught me a lot, but nothing relevant to the headphones.
Well, time to head home!
