bits & pieces

progUsing a bug tracker with Volity for the first time. It's fun to knock bugs off of it, even if mostly they're ones you posted yourself.
Up until 1:30 coding because it's a feel-good way to procrastinate business stuff! Doh.
It's IF Comp weekend once again. The games are not yet available as I type this, but they may be by the time you read this. Looks to be around the same number of entrants as last year, maybe a handful more. And about the same number of joke/crazy-person entries, judging by the titles (and authors).
Marked the ocassion with a rare login to ifMUD. Idled for a while and logged out again. Ah, MUDs.
Almost not worth the effort, but one last Meh for Fever Pitch: Single people are either creepy freaks or closeted homosexuals. Probably another "harmless" romantic-comedy-o-verse assumption. It still ticks me off. Do typical people really think this is true, though?
I should just avoid all romantic comedies, no matter how much Roger Ebert might like them. Clearly the whole genre just gives me the grrr.
Now you all know what I was talking about with Serenity after I saw its preview draft last May. The movie shook me up as badly as any movie ever has, and I hadn't ever seen the show before.
I easily spend around $20, and often much more, every day on food (and coffee and snacks and so on). This has got to stop now. Letting go of my salary gives me a great big obvious reason to get back into cooking again. There are a lot of equally excellent other reasons, but they're not enough to drive me into it, apparently.
Of course I've been telling myself this for a week or more and I still haven't made the crucial step of going grocery shopping even once yet. Only a matter of time.

Seems from what I have heard and read to be a more of a "hoi paloi" (sp?, I just went phonetic) kind of 'take the time to cook and eat, etc' jibe, but it might even be worth it.
We've enjoyed having our garden this year and cooking the fruits of that labor. Looking even more forward to next years offerings when we broaden our offerings in the garden. We learned a lot this year ;)
Good luck with all of it. And stop procrastinating. Do that business work. It's due on Monday! :)
