Fated Strife

Current Mood: Gloomy

I had to reinstall the Gallery due to some permission errors with WPG2. I’ll be adding both some of the old pictures and new ones, so if you care keep your eyes peeled.

I’ll hopefully have a nice looking style for the gallery as well once I get a chance to work on the install some more.

Well today was boring.

Didn’t get to talk to Angel and he didn’t get my message that I had to leave before he got on since he used MSN today instead of POL. Not been talking much anyway, hit a rough spot in our friendship I guess. Hopefully we can get things worked out and remain friends still.

I had to adjust the date and time on the server as it seems time likes to go by a bit too quick on here. I have clockspeed installed and such but just haven’t set it up to actually run as a daemon or such to keep the time updated. I need to find a way to do this with a service script for daemontools.

I got my auction paid for yesterday finally, when I went to deposit the check to pay for it, the ATM was still broke, but at least they were fixing it (I think) while I was there. One of the tellers there heard my cell phone ringing and identified it as Suicide is Painless from M*A*S*H.

I added a few more figures to my collection yesterday, or maybe the day before. They are Clone Trooper Officer (yellow) and Boba Fett. I think the Fett looks pretty good, I’d like to see one with a removable helmet.

I hope my Darth Revan and Darth Malak will arrive soon, it was entered into the USPS system yesterday afternoon, so should be going out tomorrow at the latest.

It’s been getting cold here, for awhile there in October it was up in the low 90-80s. Now it’s around 50-60 or so during the day. Last night I think it got down to the low 20’s. Here is a graph from 11/02-11/09/2007, the temps seem to always be off a few degrees. Currently my thermometer says for outside temp that it’s 34.2F, Forecastfox says 35. Anyway, pretty graph:

I guess that’s all, I keep losing my train of though, didn’t realize how late it was, but I usually don’t notice when I can’t sleep. Though I feel exhausted and all.

Oh, I found out the latest job addition to the Wings of the Goddess expansion for FFXI..

Scholar

You can find out more here and here.

Also it seems that you be able to finally invite others into your mog house. Nobody to visit mine though I guess, though there is Cory who I’m sure would love to see all the junk taking up my inventory.

There’s an event going on now that is meant to bring in the new expansion. I used to have someone to do these events with, I may still do it to try to get one or both of the reward items. Maybe Cory will want to do that as well. Details on the event here.

Now, time to sleep.. I hope.

Well yesterday we got my new full sized bed in. After spending the morning and part of the afternoon moving dressers, tables, and tons of assorted junk (threw out a desk and a ton more of old magazines, papers, and stuff I have no use for Wednesday or Thursday) and taking an occasional break we got it moved up here.

Unfortunately I have maybe a 1-1 1/2 feet of room between this desk and my bed but enough room for my chair and the cabinet behind me, I’ll eventually get that fixed I guess. The bed is pretty comfy and all but its also pretty high off the ground, the top of it is about 3 feet from the floor. Plus plenty of room for me to roll around on or such I guess.

Talked to Angel today as usual, he had to do some stuff before he got on at 11:00 but finally was able to around 13:45. We talked for a bit about some various things. He got his check cashed and all and the travel place he went to was closed supposedly because the owners house burned down from the horrible SoCal fires. He said he was going to get them from somewhere else yesterday so hopefully he’ll have good news for me this morning.

I’ve been feeling rather poorly the past few days, health wise, emotionally is always down in the depths except for those rare bits of good news/good things that happen. Anyway, I had been feeling weak on Thursday and headache and body aches and some coughing. Yesterday morning around 03:00 I was up and retching my guts out, quite a bit of BRB (Bright Red Blood). I’m thinking the blood is from either my sinuses but more than likely another Mallory-Weiss tear but it seems to have healed up.

Friday I just woke up sore, eyes burning/hurting, head hurting, nose draining into throat, throat sore, coughing like mad, coughing junk up, weakness, etc. Just generally everything, including right ear seems a bit blocked up and hurtful sometimes. I’d sure like to know what I’ve got this time and get it taken care of ASAP.

My abdomen has been cramping pretty bad yesterday and today, had a bit of it Thursday as well but not like it is doing right now. I’m placing my bet on the chinese food I ate at both days, buuut I also had some super tasty popcorn balls and some other junk I’m probably allergic to.

Anyway that’s all, I have to try to get some sleep so I can wake up in time to chat with Angel. Then I guess I’ll pick up some more stuff in my room and try to make it more presentable than it has been though it’s looking much better now than it did.

I’ll upload some new bed and clean room pictures in this post later today or something.

I’ve also upgraded WordPress to 2.3.1, you can find the changes here. I also added a search hi-light plugin, so now when you search it should hightlight the words you searched for.

Well this week has been bland and such as usual.

Angel and I are still not getting to talk much (if at all), didn’t to talk any Wednesday as he had to help at his parents office then get to school after or something. Hopefully this crap will end and we can talk again and get his trip out here planned and stuff. I think quite a few of the letters he sent out over the past how long ever are finally on their way as they were actually being hijacked but he found them and got them sent he said.

I had a really bad migraine Monday night I think, ended up going to the ED and getting a shot. I’ve been trying not to do that a lot and doing fairly good. The migraines are still around though, they’ve lightened up in frequency but when they hit they’re pretty bad.

We’ve been cleaning out my room this week, most of the other side of my room is clearer than it had been and eventually can get most of the stuff in the middle of the room pushed back there. Got rid of one of my old desks today too, was fun to take a hammer to it. Now just gotta move a dresser at the foot of my bed (and get rid of it, thats what I want to do as I have no use for it). Also got all the books and stuff from beside my bed and such cleared out, now remains is my nightstand thing and the cabinet I have behind me then my new bed I’m getting (full size this time) might fit.

I’m hoping to get a recliner up here to go at bottom of bed for easier sitting and just for guests or myself to watch tv or things like that.

WordPress has been updated to the latest beta and will be upgraded to next stable release in a day or two. I’ve also added support for Gravatars, so go and sign up for one if you haven’t already and upload some pictures for your avatar and it’ll eventually display beside your comments you leave.

Currently they’re not displaying for some reason in the comments right now, but I hope to get it figured out.

I guess that’s all for now, time for bed so I can get up early tomorrow.
