Well, not exactly. But the login servers bit it early this morning, so everyone's waiting for the backups to be restored so many standard services are again available. Meanwhile, I shall bring informative trivia and general merriment to my blog.
One of the "highlights" of last weekend was Scholl's foray into Wisconsin. It took him about 10 minutes to start getting Longview flashbacks, mostly due to the previously mentioned "ghetto" area of town across the river from me. Later excursions into the better part of town allayed most of his concerns.
However, my younger brothers will forever carry with them his "in the ghet-TO" chant, and have been seen to respond "its hard out there for a pimp" when unrelated comments on the difficulty of some operation are mentioned.
As you may have inferred, dear reader, my younger brothers, Peter and John, have been hanging out with me for the week. They aided in the move up, and have been driving me to work and generally being useful minions (why they are driving me is a story for another time).
As a just and benevolent older brother, I have endeavoured to give them useful, but not over-taxing, jobs to carry out during my employment from 8 to 4:30. Early in the week they accomplished such tasks as filling out apartment condition reports, and getting food. Today I have issued a request for something slightly less... customary. It is AV weekend, and for those in the know, this means the opportunity to grind honor points with mindless clicking. With any luck, my directive to run AV no less then 3 times an hour, for 8 hours, should net me significant ingame rewards.
I have also taken the liberty of introducing the twins to Final Fantasy VII, a game which, although I have not played, is generally regarded to be a classic adventure of high standing. Between directives to play WoW, sharing in classic games, and a healthy stock of Heinlein books, I think they will find this a productive week which they can look back on as well-spent.
Also, I have eaten much cheesecake this week. So my question for you, dear reader, is have you read any Heinlein? If not, you should. If so, which did you favor most?
