clevermanka | First day of the new year

Yeah, it's the fifth day of January, but I didn't really start 2004 until this morning. You know how it goes.

Made it to the gym thanks to

0's mom, who picked me up this morning, and will be doing so through the winter. I can get up to go to the gym, but I can't bring myself to scrape the windshield. So nice handy dandy ride to the gym means No More Putzing Out over exercise.

I just found out an old friend of mine,

mac, is on LJ, although he moved back here in freaking October and didn't tell me so I don't really know what to think of that. I guess it could be that I never called or emailed him when he moved to Colorado, but come on, why would anyone hold that against me?

I guess most of my friends survived New Year's just fine and although the party was about half the size we'd expected, I hope every body still had fun. Thanks to everyone who attended! It was great to finally meet some of you in person (when you were not in RenFest costumes).

We gave up on URU, dammit. What a poorly written game. There were so many stupid puzzles, it just failed to be rewarding--even after you solved something! There was one that required you to move a chair to a particular position. Using only your feet. In waist high water. Asinine. So unless Rand and Robyn Miller decide to return to write Cyan games again, I will not be purchasing any more. =(

On a happier note, I have a new hat! It's very warm. I have the gray one. Alas, the store was out of the black in size small for my pinhead. The gray is still awful cute.

Yeah, the begin of 2004 was delayed a few days by the weekend I think.

Thank you so much for the lovely party! I had a great time, and it was just the thing for a NYE- more more!

And what an incredibly cute hat!!!!!!

Dang, that hat is CUUUUTE!!! =D

I was kind of holding out on trying URU, mainly because I am not much for group games. I liked the solitary strange feel of myst & riven (although I generally walked around in a low grade terror thinking something was going to jump out and get me). =)

Oh, you can still play solo--that's the main game. You don't have to play the live version. But save your money (and patience) for something else. If you liked Myst, Riven, and Exile, you will most likely want to throw Uru out the window.

We gave up on URU, dammit. What a poorly written game.

Crosses that off his list of games to buy.

Damnnit. :-)

Yeah I'm pretty bummed about it. And to add some sour grapes to that plate: It wasn't as pretty as the previous three, either. So nyah on you, Uru. Nyah nyah nyah!

Nyah on me?!? I didn't write the bloody crap VB code! ;-)

Um, I said: So nyah on you, Uru.

Thank you for throwing the party. It was a good evening and a great way to ring in the New Year.

Darn me straight to heck for being the rat bastard that I am with my inability to keep lost correspondence. But if it makes you feel any better, I ran into Dave and Mel the week that I moved back and, of course, meant to e-mail them to get together sometime and ... well .. forgot ... However, I think there is a possibility that it was just a good act of fate to keep me away from the Ka-POW.

I'm really happy you're back, even if for a little while. =) We'll hook up for a beer or something when it's not so terrifyingly cold.
