So here is a little update from the trenches. I am embittered by my poor financial planning of late. I had a few beers and more than a few fired food items for dinner this evening with some nifty friends I hadn't seen in a very long time. It was a pleasant and well received surprise. My EQ2 guild dinged 40 before any guild on my server today. I haven't really play computer games in a couple of days, but it's mostly been due to disinterest in all things not contributing to ripping my ginormous CD collection into my iTunes. Fuck you iTunes. If it weren't for my financial situation, I'd be like Ted and simply re-buy the albums digitally to avoid the effort involved in ripping them. There are a lot of bed movies in the world. Batman Begins is *not* one of them. I watched it last night and was really surprised they completely did not fuck it up. Bravo. I'm tired and cranky. I have a photo shoot tomorrow at 2:00. I am in the process of working two more shoots before I have to go back to work on Friday. It's the least I could do since I am not going out of town for my vacation days. 1.
