Okay, I realize that it's been a while since I've done an update, so here goes...
Job front: I've a couple of nibbles on a couple of contract positions. They came in rather late last week, so now it's the waiting period to see if I get an interview.
Colleen heads off for Ocean City MD on Thursday morning, and won't be back for a week and a half. So it'll just be me and the cat here. Bachelor time, which means bachelor food, bachelor TV, bachelor hours, and sleeping on the air mattress in the living room. This also means long periods of time whining stuff like, "What the hell do I want to eat???"
D&D 3.5e comes out later this week. I'm planning on only getting the Player's and DM's books, probably through Amazon, along with a book or two to help me study for the Network+ exam. I managed to pick up an ExamCram box set for the first four MCSE exams for like $30 at Barnes & Noble over the weekend.
Colleen and I were in the Valley on Saturday with my parents, mostly in Noho. Spent most of the time at Vermont Country Deli, Space Crime Continuum (nice new games area in there, but apparently no discounts like my local comic/gaming shop), and Raven Books.
I kept thinking that it would have been interesting -- not to mention cool -- if I ran into one of my old chummers out there, but alas, I didn't. Oh well, perhaps next time.
By the by, it's worth your time to see Pirates of the Carribean. Johnny Depp was excellent, playing the role just this side of over the top. Orlando Blook was very good as well, as was Geoffrey Rush. (Always thought that Rush played a good villain ever since Mystery Men.)
On Friday, Colleen and I spent part of the early afternoon bowling, just to kill time and have a bit of a practice session. I have no idea how I managed to get a 112 string -- first time I've ever broken a hundred in candlepin! Now if I can only work that into a league night...
That's all for now... more later as things warrant...
