Bastard's Notebook

Busy week, busy weekend. And it's only half over. Got to see mahariel and inaurolillium today at Brenna's Birthday picnic, which was, thankfully nice and low-key. Speaking of, the daughterling made out like a bandit this year: new trike and helmet, new toys, musical instruments, puppets, a pirate treasure chest, all sorts of stuff. Exhausting day of playing though. In fact, both kidlet and plaidbrat have been deeply crashed out from exhaustion for a couple of hours now. Me ion the other hand, I have stripes. On my head. Turns out our "emergency" sunscreen (which I needed to make use of at the park today on my shaven scalp) is sweat-soluble. Which means an accidental run of my hand across my head left some spaces rather exposed. So yeah. Relatively pale, except for where I've got some nice big red streaks.

So, what've I been doing tonight?

Posting News stories on DeviantArt.
And cleaning up the worktables. The damn stock tote's almost full again. Which, of course means only one thing. Time to fill another tote.

I also finally shot and shopped the pictures for one recent arrival- my stock samples from the League of Extraordinary Bastards! Check out the stickers!



Print quality's better than I expected, and a damn sight better than the original printings were. The adhesive seems to work well also- the sticker that I attached to Lenin's rear cargo pod has stayed firmly affixed, despite driving through the worst of the rain in the last couple of weeks. Anyways, definitely worth the purchase.

Other stuff to do tomorrow:

Hook up with bloodengel for a photo disc.

Find a new beanbag or floor pillow. Our old one suffered a potty-training related mishap, and needs replacement. (Any good suggestions for where to shop?)

Relax. Rest. Get ready for the trip of doom next weekend, which shall consist of me and a three year old driving solo to spokane to visit family.

Well, plaidbrat evidently woke up around 2:45 this morning, and decided to be nice and let me sleep in until around 7ish. Which was nice of her, except for one problem- I woke up being unable to breathe. Either I've finally full-on caught the bug that laid her low last week, or my allergies have gone into overtime, between all the paper dust that floats around at work and the pollen from the nice warm day we had yesterday.

Lungbutter. Yuck. Sinus Blockade. Yuck.

Seven days remain until the Vampire Ball.

Sarcasttic Bastard needs Dayquil badly.

Sigh.

Hates it when projects end.

I've now gone and managed to get copies of all the 70171 tracks downloaded from Mperia. At least I still have those. And I will find later hosting for them in the future. Just not right now on top of everything else.

Sigh. '07 was supposed to be a better year for me. At least I'd hoped that'd be the case.

Dmitri's school of webdesign, the audio track:



"I got it!!!!"

"Fuck."

"No wait, I got it!"

"Whatthefuck do you mean it didn't save to all the templates? Fuck."

"OK, now I got it!"

"FUCKERNUTTERS! You got Lorem Ipsum in my intro text! You got intro text in my Lorem Ipsum!"

"Ok, somebody else can get this. I'm going to bed."

this post brought to you by my annoyances with Open Office, text boxes, and my frustrating lack of knowledge of HTML/website design.

Ow.

Short version: Now at home. Forced skid across metal road plating. left shoulder, elbow, knee, hip are hurting but no serious damage according to the ER docs. Typing one-handed sucks balls.

Dear fucking God.


How long can one goddamned render take???

ARGH.

Lostware is rejecting my email passwords. If you're getting suddenly spammed or virused from Winneganfake or TormentedArtifacts @lostware.com, it should be noted that those emails are not actually coming from me or this computer.

Argh.

So, I started the new job yesterday, which included getting my schedule, etc. This morning, I get a call from the owner, informing that my shift for today is now an "on-call" shift. This is of course, after I arrange things for having someone here to take care of Brenna. This is just fucking intolerable- am I scheduled, or not? And how often is he going to pull this kind of BS?

Gah. So, right now I'm jobhunting again, and when my shift time rolls around, I'll be going in to have a talk with the owner about this stuff.

OK, the short report on the weekend.

Con was good. good for business and great to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in a good long while. The bad side? I'm fucking exhausted. Constantly feeling cold and tired right now.

And of course, one of my headhunters came through and found me a new job! One which starts tonight. Argh. Must go to work, and all I want to do right now is fall asleep. Under some really warm blankets.

Oh, and pics of the girlie are available for viewing in plaidbrat's journal right now. I'll repost some here, after I get the daughterling off to daycare.
