Hmm, I guess this wasn't a bad week. Work is tiring but bearable; even though it's a big stack of stuff, at least I am progressing through them a bit at a time. I have a nasty habit of being stupid, which causes me to crawl along tasks at a snail's pace and making me frustrated. I really should slow down and think before charging into a task, think about how to "get Excel to work for me instead of me working for Excel". On Friday we went to Fish on Rice for lunch; I don't know why they kept calling it Sushi on Rice. The building looks pretty delapidated but the food was cheap and the portions were big. Service was slow, however. The seafood udon was not bad, but I wish they would use more seafood than just salmon cubes, three pawns, and a cuttlefish.
Weekend was spent watch football. I watched the entire Sweden vs Trinidad and Tobago match on Saturday morning. Trinidad's defense was excellent; I really liked the plays of Edward Carlos, Whitney, and Yorke. Hislop, their keeper, was also spectacular and robbed what otherwise would have been a beautiful goal by Wilhelmsson. Great game. Tried getting Joyce to watch Cars together but no luck--ended up BT-ing it. The rest of my weekend was about moving tables and cleaning my basement. See flickr for photos of my new work area. It's pretty gnarly and spiffy, especially with the chess set ;).
Oh I almost forgot. I played quite a bit of Total War as well. And it FARKING SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!! My king will always die the turn after my last save and my oldest heir is only 12. That means civil war and kissing half of my empire good bye. Who the fuck designed this game!!??!?!
Also check out flickr for my new Logitech Flight Force Force Feedback joystick!
$9.99 at XS Cargo on Lougheed and Westwood. It says 'for Playstation 2' but it works fine on the PC; basically it is the Wingman Force 3D but for much cheaper!
