So much problem with visual studio. So little ability to figure out what's wrong with my code. On the bright side my computer very helpfully demonstrated its technical difficulties when I went in for office hours to ask for help. So that should improve my chances of getting an extension if I can't get past the technical difficulties. I'm pretty sure that once I get the program up and running there's not a lot wrong with the code.
And if that wasn't boring enough I can ramble on about organic chemistry for a while. But if you can't ramble about random boring stuff in FaWtL, where can you? :P
I finally got around to cleaning out my ipod. There is much less need to skip tracks now. Just some cause well, christmas music. Only in december...and even then only the last couple of weeks. I only have christmas music on my ipod because I went to a lot of trouble to find some that didn't leave me feeling homicidal. (Shall we hang the holly or each other?) (bonus points if you know what film that's from.)

At least you're not working in one of those shops (at least I hope you're not) that has christmas music going in the store throughout November-December. I'd go stark raving bonkers in that environment.
Also on the good side: I'm going to make me some hot cocoa and sink down in the comfy chair with Queen of Thorns, the cocoa, and maybe, just maybe, a tiny glass of Bushmills.
Also also: Ellen Kushner is working on a new novel in her Riverside world.
Even more also also good news: Craig Levein is currently not involved with showing anyone how to play football.

Oh no, never ever ever. I have a very low tolerance for enforced cheerfulness. And enforced family time. And that god-awful music. If I have to hear that dreadful ditty about the shoes again....gah! ....so instead I have a playlist of medieval holiday music. It sounds better and doesn't leave me feeling that I need to smack the stupid out of somebody. :)
Kajehase, My local football side is in the second round of the FA Cup!
So happy!
Woot! Is this Harrogate Town you mentioned in the chat the other day?
Yep, so if they can win the game against Hastings (a Battle of Hastings) then a 3rd Round draw beckons....maybe against Leeds or Man U @ home would be amazing.
EDIT: Apologies all FAWTLies, about sport talk. But it's better than politics...
However, *DSX hands out spongy Yorkshire puds & tripe* in apology

should be ok. usually they cut us europeans some slack about soccer, at least as long as we don't call it footbal :-)
somewhere downthread you can find 2 pages of me rambling/online-comentarying about the last champions league final , if I did not get in trouble whith that, you should be ok :-)

In other news: I find myself less and less thrilled about my impending trip to Japan. What really bugs me is the pain in the assness of getting there and getting started. That part always sucks.
The getting home part sucks as well, but at least the reward at the end of that part is nice.
Actually, I think that around this time of year I always find myself more and more in the mood of disliking my job and disliking living in the northeast. I suspect it has something to do with the change in weather.
It's a bit worse this year, because I hardly game anymore, haven't brewed in forever, and generally find the stuff I really want to do but don't have time to piling up. Put stress of work and the insanity of the holiday season on top, and it'll be a wonder if I can make it through the new year without cracking like a dropped egg.
Oh yeah, almost forgot: the dumbasses who run our building facilities seem to have forgotten to adjust the clock on the heating system to account for the time change over this past weekend. So the heat doesn't comeon until after we're already here.
And when we dropped him off at daycare, instead of giving him the usual cheerios or graham cracker, the old lady in charge gave him a munchkin donut - with powdered sugar! Seeing his eyes light up as he reached for it to take a bite did my withered old heart some good.
