Been up for 50 hours now (Edit: I forgot, I took a 1/2 hour nap 23 hours in). Starting to feel I could conk out at any second. That's my old army training and caffeine working (plus some OCD and a ton of work with deadlines). But the work's done and now I get to sleep during my birthday, what a present.
My new kitten (Fou-Fou Gris) is a lot of fun. He likes to sleep on my shoulder or on my lap. Found out my PSP can play DOOM. Woo Hoo! About the only FPS that I ever played for more than ten minutes (I've played DOOM 100's of hours). The PSP is such a great machine; why doesn't Sony offer something like Nintendo with the VC channel? The PSP can certainly handle the emulation. Are you listening to me Sony?
Sad note, my best friend got a pink slip today. Shit happens, life happens. Of course the job was in the mortgage industry. Never thought I would see the day that the government nationalized 10% of the financial industry. And under a Republican President? Wut? Only socialists do that.
So what is this whole blogging thing anyway? If I'm doing it wrong someone let me know. I drank 14 litres of diet coke in the last 48 hours. I fixed an Hamilton 23j pocket watch and worked on restoring (polishing and re-blueing) the screws for a museum piece watch, a keywind watch manufactured in the the 1850's. And filing my amended tax return with all the extra documentation the IRS wanted and it turned out that instead of owing them 20 more grand they actually owe me $400. Better than nothing.
A couple days ago I set up a youtube account so I could post the condensed version of the family movies (1935-47). Two hours worth of footage that I edited down to ten minutes. If you'ld like to see how kids ran around and had fun 70 years ago BEFORE VIDEO GAMES here's the LINK. All of the little boys in the video are my uncles. The adults are my grandmother, grandfather, great-great-grandmother, etc. You get the idea. Sleep time for me now...
Edit: Thanks for the Happy B-Day OKR!
