So, as you've probably seen in some of the photos I've been posting lately, the eMachines Box finally has its own setup. I already had the PS/2 keyboard that went to this machine, and I bought a cheap wired mouse from work partially because I needed another mouse, partially because I needed a spare even after I upgrade this one, and partially because the cheapness of the mouse seems to complement the low-end nature of the eMachines Box anyway. I also needed to get an extra long ethernet cable Read more
I'm almost ready to post the trip diary. The pages are all done, and the group's already seen it. We're about three-and-a-half months past my departure, but all that's left is for me to finish up some BunnySetter drawings I'm doing for it (two more to do, one finished, one currently being lined right now) and everyone can come see it. This has been a far bigger project than anyone could've imagined. 22 days, nearly a whole month, catalogued thoroughly with logs, doodles, lots of photos, project Read more
Dedicated journal readers, I am typing this at you from the comfort of my brand new desk I have spent the evening with my mom struggling to put together. It is so choice. Peep the setup: Click the image! You'll want full-size for this one. I've been on the hunt for a new desk for literally years now.

So our power was out for two days! A popup storm on Monday littered the area with trees and branches and took out power for some 22,000 people at the peak, and 13,000 for two days. I was one of the 13,000. (At the moment, according to poweroutage.us, only 31 people in my county are without power, so all is back to normal just about. Rest in peace to the gamers in York County, though, they've still got 6,700 outages.) This sure sucked! We have electric water, so none of the showers, toilets, or Read more
Long time no see, journal readers—life's been good lately. My job is panning out nicely so far, though I'm by no means in any sort of comfortable groove with it yet. In fact, my body was screaming in agony last night after clearing two u-boats at the end of four days straight of standing all day working. I'll adapt, no worries. I got trapped in my bathroom today! That was a lot of fun. It's been so heavy and humid lately that the door actually got stuck and I couldn't open it from either Read more
