Yeesh. It's been a while since I updated, hasn't it? Well, here's what's going on in the life of me.

Got my check for stock options, as previously reported. Went and deposited said check. Bought The Sims 2: University for myself and satyr_mi. Paid a LOT of bills. Bought Star Trek: Voyager - Season 4. Bought another game for satyr_mi. Axis & Allies I think. A version of it anyway. That weekend (two weekends ago now), I started having back pains. You know, the if I'm not careful lead to a day of me not being able to get up off the floor for four hours and screaming in severe pain if anyone touches me kind of back pain. Fortunately, I was careful and it never got that bad. I did take Monday and Tuesday off of work, though, to rest my back, which helped immensely. Of course, my tax refund came in on Tuesday, so we deposited that. Paid more bills, bought seasons 4 and 5 of Angel, season 5 of Star Trek: Voyager, and season 1 of Charmed. o_o The upside is that all of our bills are caught up. The downside is I now have 60+ hours of DVDs to watch.

I've taken a week off of City of Heroes, partly because I'm fed up with the ass-raping that Regeneration is getting, and partly because of Sims2. Apparently, the ass-raping will back up a bit due to a flawed internal testing server (which didn't have the "purple patch" active due to broken code, hell, damage didn't scale down at ALL when fighting critters higher level than you), but I'm not holding my breath yet. I still need to get Hidden Justice to 30, though. Want new costume and respec. Have the respec waiting, just want to hit 30 before using it. :-p

Worked a 12 hour on Saturday. That was fun and exciting. And I watched an episode of Charmed and two of Angel after getting home last night. Tonight, I'm going to try finishing the house that I tried starting for a new family of five (mom, dad, teen girl, child boy, toddler boy), but getting one done within the budget constraints (trying not to cheat) is hard. :p

And today is a very busy day at work, as all Mondays are, and I haven't had time to breathe. Thankfully, my lunch hour is being nice and relaxing.

Must remember to get pictures off of camera. Have some decent pics of myself that I want to see if they are at all useable.
