Ran around a bit with my friend Rand today (he had the day off). Head was feeling better, but then the weather changed as rain blew in and it got bad again. Hit the bead store and got some things. The Renn Faire is starting this weekend (YIPPIE and HUZZAH!!) so we'll be hitting that probably next week. We'd like to go Sunday, but first off, it's going to be 80F and rainy and second, we just paid rent, so we're pretty broke.

Jef picked up Sonic Mega Collection for the GameCube (I NEVER thought I'd live to see the day Sonic - the Mario killer character - would appear on a Nintendo platform. That's what happens though I suppose when Sega stops making hardware!) and left it here and man, am I having fun. Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic Spinball and my favorite, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (a genesis classic!) and more are included. It's a perfect port and all the original codes - like the debug codes and such - are still in the GameCube version. It's just so much fun to get to play these classic games I loved from like ten years ago. Weee! The GameCube has certainly proven to be a HELL of a lot of fun and I'm so happy we have it.

Well, my Love wants to go watch a movie - think we'll finally see Road to Perdition that he picked up last week - so I'm going to close here.

Fuck my head's been hurting. The last couple days, by the time I'm ready to go to bed, Imy eyes are killing me and I feel a horrid migraine coming on. I hate when I get headaches like this - all behind my eyes - because it gets to a point where it just hurts to see. And that drives me nuts. You can't do anything when it hurts to look at everything. Ugh.

I think I'm going to call it a night. I'm just awake out of habit, not because I have anything to do or whatever. We had a problem and our router box blew out today (damned power outage - this is why I need to get a surge protector one of these damned years) and until we get it fixed, only one pc can have the net at a time. I've been nosing about a smidge from my Love's (I gave him the net earlier this evening and just never bothered to go set it back up on mine since he's in bed) but my eyes are killing me and it's not helping.

I know there was something I was meaning to write about but with my head all out of commission, damned if I remember. Time for me to sleep. ttfn.

Happy Mardi Gras!


We've got people over, ate some Popeye's chicken, red beans and rice, and everyone's wearing beads. :) I put up a couple pics of me in my beads on the cam page. We're having a little Mardi Gras party.

Quick recap: Started to feel better on Sunday and managed to keep some solid food down then, so the stomach icks are better. Haven't been around much because I've been kinda busy with some stuff and I'm working on overhauls for my forums (though my creative inspiration is just not coming at the moment, so it's more tedious then enjoyable). Usually I like playing around with color and layout and such, but right now, it's just not clicking in the way it normally does, so I'm kinda annoyed by it and it's taking a really long time I also want to redo my temporary layout here, but seeing as I can't even get set-layout styled forums to look good, I'm not even messing around with the infinite options of a free-form journal like this. It'll come to me, just not right now.

Been sleeping weirdly and really worried about Kush-ka lately - I think we're coming to the end. I don't want to talk about it now or I'll start crying again, but I'm really just seeing it being over in the not too distant future.

Anyway, there's a party going on out there, so I'm going to stop thinking about depressing things for the moment. More later if I get a chance.

[edit] Go say Happy Birthday to Suzie today! :)
