9114 – New Year’s Day

Something I post at the top of every new year, and I appreciate the words more with every additional trip around the sun.

 

Love is
is not rude,
it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:5&6

417 entries in 2007. (618 in ’06, 975 in ’05, 716 in ’04)

Last night, we watched the new Hairspray… not as good as the original… no cockroaches? In attendance for veggie dogs and fries were the in-laws, BHK and a brief cameo of Adam, between his chauffeuring duties.

Today, I fixed up Chris’s laptop, while we all watched the magnificent 7 and she gave it to me after I moved all of her data over to a newer device… I’m writing this entry on a dell latitude d505. Not cutting edge, but lightweight and able to surf with. It needs a memory bump from 256 meg, though.

Now, BHK and I are lounging in the loft, watching back episodes of Chuck, Reaper, Simpsons and Aliens in America.

Hap-Pye New(t) Year’s Eve!

Last night, we played rousing games of Dicecapades, Easter Island, and Zombie Fluxx. BHK smooshed me at Dicecapades, but I took the crown in the other two (I suspect that she’ll start whupping me at EI. I was not expecting to have to do 20 sit-ups while playing a board game… figures that I’d roll a 20 on a d20, and it’s not D&D I’m playing. Hazienda and Wishes were fishes still remain unplayed, but tomorrow may fix that issue.

I’m loving Portal and Half-Life2 – Haven’t taken too much time to try Team Fortress2 yet, but that looks to be the keenest of them all. After I got through the regular way…. the first thing I’ll do is apply the portal gun hack to HL2. (video here ) Somebody let me know when you can do this in HL2:deathmatch… that’ll add some color. Funny that HL2 was relaesed back in ’04… I’d only ever played death match before Christmas this year. i’m really glad that BHK pointed Mom and Wilt to my Amazon wish list this year.

Still getting around to Mario Party 8, and Heatseeker – BHK and I have played Mario Galaxy before, but now we own it! We tried Wii Game party, (the reviews are rather harsh) but my skill set with the controls is pretty poor yet… practice makes perfect, no doubt!

Worked today, a regular shift. I got quite a lot done! There are benefits to coming into the office when most folks are on vacation.

My New Year’s Resolution this year is 1600 x 1050, thanks to my biggest prezzie, a 22″ wide screen monitor from BHK and the In-laws! The Web looks more than a little different through that window…. so many sites are hard-wired to a specific size, my homepage and lj, included. Time to develop a few more flexible layouts, methinks.

Other Resolutions include – Laptop (Circle)- 1024 x 768, TV 640 x 480, PDA (Point) 420 x 340.

Here’s the 2007 Zeitgeist from google… not too similar to my own. Second life is really the only thing there that I have an interest in, and my visits there have been far too brief this year. Here’s the archive from past years.


To any locals that may be reading this –

As we approach the end of 2007, what a better way to start off 2008 with a chilly dip in the Chesapeake Bay. Join us on Jan 1st sign up starts at 12:30 and the plunge will be at 1:00 p.m. After you have braved the cold water, grab a cup of chili and warm by the fire.

I seem to recall the plunge taking place earlier last year, but it’s actually about an hour earlier.
