redswami	7:32p	I won't quote the odds on fan-made MMOs succeeding, so here's hoping.... I just found out there's yet another fan-made Shadowrun MMO in the works. This is... what, attempt number two or three? Here's hoping it does better than its predecessor(s). Though for sticking to it beyond two years of development, I think they're already ahead. Hm. Anyway, I guess it's time to start actually re-learning this newfangled edition. Since I'll be running it soon, and all. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

holmes_iv	2:03p	I thought I'd outgrown this shit OK, so Tuesday I'm flying to Seattle. From Hartford. Via Atlanta. Because that's what's available on Delta before Christmas Eve. <facepalm> The hilarious part is that back when I was in college, I would get up at a ridiculous hour to catch the Metro-North, then connect to a subway, then connect to a bus, to get to JFK by mid-afternoon for my long-ass flight to Seattle. Now? Getting up at a ridiculous hour to catch the Metro-North, then connect to the Shuttle to Hartford, then connect to the local bus to Bradley, to be there by mid-afternoon for yeah you get the picture. <sigh> Current Mood: aggravated (8 Comments |Comment on this)
holmes_iv	1:39a	OK, fine Next time I'm planning my flight out to Seattle for Christmas, I'll ask around and make sure that nobody else has plans for that weekend. Since apparently I am cursed by snow demons. Upsides: more time to tidy up the apartment before I leave! And at least this time my flight got canceled, instead of delayed 8 hours while we sat on the tarmac waiting for de-icing and runway priority and Godot! Update: Oh, apparently you're not supposed to sleep when this kind of stuff is happening. At 4:00 AM, there were "no similar flights," but at 11:30 AM there is an option to route through Los Angeles... leaving at 2:00 PM. It is literally physically impossible for me to get to that flight, guys. Thanks. Next option? Current Mood: irritated (Comment on this)

holmes_iv	5:40p	Big Day, Part 2 As of two minutes after 5:00 PM today (hopefully the prof doesn't decide to be a hard-ass about that—stupid web-based assignment submission system!) I have turned in my last assignment. For my last class. Of my last semester of graduate school. Or, more succinctly, DONE!!!! I'd be happier if I didn't need to worry about that professorial discretion issue, or if I'd managed to get motivated to do a better job on this last assignment, but still. DONE. Thank you. Goodnight. Who wants a beer? Current Mood: relieved (14 Comments |Comment on this)

holmes_iv	3:04a	Dagnabbit Today in "things I do not like about semester wind-down": asymptotic approach. Why can't I maintain a constant velocity? Why?? Oh right, because I burned all my reserve fuel getting through Monday and Tuesday. Blast. Current Mood: working (4 Comments |Comment on this)
