So, not a whole lot going on. The usual work rigamarole, and a couple new food.helava.com entries, but short of that, really not a whole lot going on. Got Mobius a dog bed, which was pretty damned expensive, but it’s the only dog bed Pet Food Express had that was big enough for the ol’ mutt. So, hopefully, he won’t end up pushing us over to half the bed anymore, which would be good, since it’s strange that we’d end up cramped into the corner of a California King, when the dog’s taking up half the bed. Wacky stuff.
Starting to assemble wedding invitations. Learned one interesting thing: The HP 1200 series Laserjet printers are unable to print on thick paper, and laser printing doesn’t seem to work properly on particularly fibrous paper. Some of them turned out ok, some of them turned out a bit smudged. Either way, each one has to be manually fed into the paper feed, or the rollers don’t catch it properly. Whee fun. So, gotta run to the paper store to pick up envelopes, then invites should be heading out in the next week or two.
My mom’s been tearing up the front yard like a psycho. It’s really just crazy. She’s doing a fantastic job, and it’s really shaping up. We’d killed most of the stuff out there, and I’d gotten about 3/4ths of the way through murdering a quartet of bushes that had gotten a bit out of control. We’re gonna end up leaving one of them to grow back, which means I’m almost done, and only really have half a root to chop through left to go.
Borrowed Lego Star Wars from the IRC – EA’s internal library thing. It’s quite entertaining – the storytelling is merely evocative of the movies, without actually bothering to do any silliness like speech, or what have you. The animation is simple, and cute, and they do everything they can to embrace the Lego aesthetic. Force powers include disassembling chunks of bricks, and reassembling them into something else. Great stuff. I think if I can find it cheap somewhere, I’ll actually purchase this one. Multiplayer hack and slash, that’s both entertaining, and funny, to boot.
Right.
Our dog takes over our bed and he’s only a pomeranian.
And it’s also a king.
Little bastard.
Do you also get the guilt that comes with moving the dog so you can finally get some sleep?
Sure do. So far, he’s spent most of the night in the bed, but about 5am, he hops up on the bed, and rolls around, taking over the whole thing. Night before last, I gave him a treat, and he went back to his bed, but last night, I was too tired to get up.
Strangely enough, I had no problems printing our own wedding invites but all subsequent ones I’ve done (for Alan’s brother and my sister and a slew of friends) have been a pain in the ass to do on our home printer. The worst of it was, we “upgraded” shortly before doing my sister’s invites and that’s when everything went bad.
