The List of Boringness, pt 2

1. Address the leak in the kitchen drain.
If by address, I meant "put a bucket underneath it, then I'll say this is complete
2. Rake an assload of leaves
Raked. That sucked.
3. Re-route bedroom cable to remove midnight tripping device
This is pure trouble. the place I need to run it is above a vent. Still working on this one.
4. Take the cat to the vet.
I love my cat but trying to get him in a cat carrier turns him into a ferocious animal. Pass.
5. Pay someone to fix the gutter
I think I'm just going to rip that thing off the house. Gutters are for wusses.
6. Work out at least 3 days
Surprisingly, done.
7. Play more Rock Band
Most definately done. I'm up to "medium" on drums.

Redirection

Last night I registered ditchell.com

Currently, it redirects to here. I'm still trying to figure out the whole hosting thing so it might stay that way for a while.

I am beginning another week off. Here are my goals (stated publicly so I can feel the hot stench of shame at not completing them)

1. Address the leak in the kitchen drain.
2. Rake an assload of leaves
3. Re-route bedroom cable to remove midnight tripping device
4. Take the cat to the vet.
5. Pay someone to fix the gutter
6. Work out at least 3 days
7. Play more Rock Band


edit: Goal 7 completed

another reason i love radiohead

from this NYT article....

For “All I Need,” Mr. Greenwood said, he wanted to recapture the white noise generated by a band playing loudly in a room, when “all this chaos kicks up.” That sound never materializes in the more analytical confines of a studio. His solution was to have a string section, and his own overdubbed violas, sustaining every note of the scale, blanketing the frequencies.

I work for free

So I'm very excited that I have a new, non-paying job. The Escapist put out the call for reviewers, and I answered. So they are sending me a game. I play the game. I write a review. And I don't get paid. I hope they realize that by mentioning them in my blog, all 8 of you might go to their site. Hopefully they got that new server installed.

Normally I would scoff at such things. But the opportunity to do some critical thinking about something that I'm dorkily passionate about- I can't pass that up. And the game I'm getting sounds very interesting.

When I post a review I'll let you know.

Oh and the highlight of The Escapist is Zero Punctuation. As long as you can handle some harsh language, this guy is genius.
