15.Sunday
Worked on homework for a good chunk of the day.

16.Monday
Got to work late, so I departed late.  Stopped by TacoB on the way home, ate quickly, then worked on homework until late in the night.

17.Tuesday
Worked longer day, finishing up some homework.

Finished audiobook of Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman. Not sure what book to start next.

18.Wednesday
In work a bit later because Kelc's schedule shifted around a bit.
Left work late. Started an audiobook of John Dies At The End on my way home.  At some leftovers and played a bit of L4D2 before jumping in bed.

19.Thursday
Worked another long day.
Enjoying the new audiobook for my commute.
Cooked myself dinner and cleaned up dishes.

20.Friday
Another long day. Left late.

Cooked up some veggies for dinner, watched some AFV, Demetri Martin standup, and Arrested Development.

Kevin stopped by with friends to pick up CAH.

21.Saturday
Enjoyed the weather by doing some yardwork.  Raked up some leaves in the front yard, pulled some weeds all over, and threw down a light sprinkling of fertilizer.

Played a bunch of L4D2 late into the night.

2015 Week 7 (08-14)

08.Sunday
Worked another long day.  Kelc made it home safely.

09.Monday
Worked long day. Stayed late finishing a homework assignment, found out it got extended to Wednesday.

10.Tuesday
Worked a long day.
Stopped by HEB for goodies
Mark came over for dinner, Kelc decided she wanted to cook today, lots of miscommunication, but everything worked out.

Watched a couple episodes of Arrested Development

11.Wednesday
Work long day
Tail end of trivia, team got first.
Home, leftovers and AFV, then bedtime.

12.Thursday
Worked another long day (sigh)
Home, ready for weekend


13.Friday
Cleaned up around the house and did some yardwork.  Feels great to not be at work.


14.Saturday
Washed my car, took forever but looks pretty sweet.  I tried out the random orbital polisher I got for xmas, and found it to not really change my clearcoat all that much.  It's not like I had a ton of weathering or swirl marks anyways.

Oh, I guess it's Valentine's day.  Ends up being just another day anyways, so I don't know why I bother recognizing it.

2015 Week 6 (01-07)

01.Sunday
Woke up around 5am from being very uncomfortable.  Something in my stomach was not sitting well, and I couldn't tell which end it was wanting to use for evacuation.  I ended up losing a few pounds by sitting on the porcelain throne, other evacuation paths remained unused, although they felt like they could be used at any moment.

Tried to be functional

02.Monday
Today was just off.  Work was dysfunctional due to meetings, weather delays, power outages, and distractions.

Tried shopping at Costco and got denied at the register.  Guess they don't want my business after all.

03.Tuesday
Worked a long day.  Mostly productive.

Stopped by HEB before going home to pick up some goodies.  Cooked a quick meal and cranked through some lectures for class.

04.Wednesday
Worked another longer day.  At home I cooked up some veggies for dinner, then installed a aftermarket heatsink/fan in my desktop.  It the first time for me to have aftermarket cpu cooling since i had a Pentium4 3.0ghz HT in the ~2005 time range... so a decade ago. Crazy.

Tried playing some L4D2, but I kept getting randomly thrown into campaigns that were near complete or complete.

05.Thursday
Worked a long day.  Ate some leftovers at home, and watched 3 episodes of Arrested Development Season 3 with Kelc.  Played some L4D2, then watched Habs play some L4D2 using ridiculous techniques.

06.Friday
Worked another long day.

Kelc left fo Geek Bowl in NM.  I listened to a bunch of an audiobook while installing a second heatsink/fan.  I started getting some odd video driver issues after installing it.


07.Saturday
Woke up and figured I may have not fully installed the video card, so it's getting intermittent connectivity, and freaking out the driver.  Shoved that into the slot more, and reverted drivers and uninstalled sw.  Seems to be stable now.  Annoying.

Worked a long day.  Started off with some Torchy' Breakfast Tacos.  Didn't really need to eat much for the rest of the day because of that.

Home.  Listened to more audio book and hooked up a computer in the bedroom.  I was able to boot it up, then it locked up, and after restarting the hard drive never came back.  Wtf.

2015 Week 5 (25-31)

25.Sunday
Did various things around the house.  Kelc's new furniture is nice, but the people who put it together are dolts.

Watched some lectures for school.  Worked on homework, and actually was able to get most of it done.

Went grocery shopping, then ate leftovers from H-town.

Pro Bowl.  I kinda enjoy this game.

26.Monday
Back to work, although maybe a tad late getting in.

Left work late, then wrapped up some homework and cooked dinner.  Then some paperwork and L4D2.

27.Tuesday
Tried something new this morning: fruit smoothie for the trip in to work, with a waffle.

Worked a semi-longer day.

Home, did a bunch of reading *gasp* and checked back on how the xbox emulation scene is coming along.  (Spoiler, the xbox emulation scene hasn't moved much at all.)  Kitty had an operation today; they put her out, cleaned her teeth, and removed a cyst that was just an unusual bubble on her head.  She seems pretty out of it, and totally doesn't like the cone.


28.Wednesday
Did my fruit smoothie thing in the morning again.  Ended up making a small mess.  I'll need to refine this process before full adoption takes place.


29.Thursday
Work.  Mostly uneventful, except for the part where I went to fly a quadcopter outside.  Also stayed later than normal.


30.Friday
Getting shit done today
A/C Inspection Appointment, cooked soup, moved clothes to new bedroom set, dusted the common areas, cleaned up my desk area a tad, picked up some oil and performed an oil change, rotated my tires.

Watched Transcendence in the evening with Kelc.


31.Saturday
Watched a ton of The Office (UK) all day.  Actually finished the series.

Picked up some Pei Wei for dinner.  Kelc and I watched a ton of Arrested Development Season 3, with the intent on actually getting through Season 4 sometime soon.

2015 Week 4 (18-24)

18.Sunday
Cooked up some tasty cinnamon bread stuff for breakfast (not exactly healthy, but tasty).  Then watched a 9-11 truth/conspiracy film on Netflix, then watched last night's Saturday Night Live episode.

Disappointed about the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl.  Then disappointed about the Patriots making it to the Super Bowl.  I guess that's a fitting end to this football season, eh?

Spent some time back at Pop's house to check out some fishing gear and things as of lately.

19.Monday
Mostly normal day of work.  Home later, Kelc made some food for dinner.  Watched a few episodes of Friends, played some games, then bedtime.  Have to admit it's nice coming home to food.

20.Tuesday
Went to an Eye appointment this morning.  At the point where the eye doctor is talking about various stuff, my phone started exploding with text messages.  I wrapped up, then headed out to my car and checked the messaged.  Turns out my grandmother has passed on.  Disappointing to hear, but I can't say that I'm all that surprised; things had been teetering for a while now.

Ended up going to work anyways, the funeral and stuff will need to be planned out.  I worked later than I wanted to, because everybody decided to hang out while I was debugging some stuff.

Picked up Kelc, then over to the parent's house to talk about plans and get a bite.

Home, sleep

21.Wednesday
Crappy weather out.  Went to work for about a half day.

Home, packed up, moved furniture, cleaned up.

Picked up bro and sis-in-law, then drove to Houston.


22.Thursday
Up early.  Had a delicious breakfast, then mostly sat around all day.

Drove Kelc to walmart to get some leg things, then had lunch at James Coney Island.

Met up with the family at the funeral home.  Tons of flower arrangements, tons of people I don't know, lots of waiting around.  We had a few family members speak during the funeral, and that was probably the hardest part to make it through.

Home late, hungry, tired.

23.Friday
Up early again.  Quick breakfast then off to the church for mass.  I was a pallbearer, along with 5 more of us.  Unfortunately that means we sit off by ourselves in church, and it became quite obvious that we were rusty with how the church routines go.

Procession to the cemetery,  taking her to her final resting place.  Outside was cold and wet, but that didn't matter too much.

Back to the church for a lunch gathering, cleanup, then back to grandma's house for pictures.

Then back to the rental home. Played a few games, chit-chatted, then bedtime.

24.Saturday
Up semi-early.  Picked up all my junk and packed the car. Pumped up the tires just in case.

Drove home without any issues.  Picked up chicken express for lunch.  My house was a bit of a mess.  Smelled like cat pee and trash.

Cleaned up and watched some x-games.

2015 Week 3 (11-17)

11.Sunday
More football

Kelc is cooking more often.  It's weird.

Looked up some info about class.

12.Monday
Work long day

Went over to Hab+Tay's to watch the first National Championship game that was from a playoff bracket.  Not terribly into it, but somewhat entertaining.  Unfortunately a bracket doesn't guarantee that the games you watch will be good, or that the best team comes out on top.

13.Tuesday
Dentist appointment for a cavity.  Most of the time was spent waiting around.  The operation itself was relatively quick, and they even let me watch some Transformer movie that I didn't recognize at all.

Then off to work for a chunk of the day.

Home, ate the best bison steak I've ever made.  Totally perfect. Hooked up a replacement hard drive to get that ball rolling.

14.Wednesday
Worked late into the evening

Trivia, late because the wait staff was a bit overwhelmed.

Had to stop at Sonic, ended up with mediocre food. (kinda cold and bland)

15.Thursday
Wrapping up this short work week.  Feeling accomplished, yet not at the same time.  I've been working on a chunk of code for a while now, and I feel like I should have been done a few weeks ago, but the time just keeps zooming by.

16.Friday
Took care of stuff and ran errands today.  Finished up a gift card, got some supplies, and tried out Bush's Chicken.  I don't know why, but Kelc does not like it.

17.Saturday
Cooked up another bison steak for lunch, but this time with green beans and mashed potatoes.  It was good, just not as good as Tuesday's steak.  Hard to repeat perfection, especially when I'm out of practice.

Went for a walk to Walgreen's, took the quadcopter for a flight through the park.

Kelc went to go watch a movie.  I stayed at home and played games and did a few random project things.  I'm trying to convert a wallclock record that Kelc got me back into being an actual vinyl record, but the adhesive on the numbers she uses is stubborn.  The back side sounds nearly flawless.

2015 Week 2 (04-10)

04.Sunday
Playoffs are less exciting now.  Played some L4D2 later.

Ah yes, back to this...grind.  Worked a semi-long day.

Home, quick leftover consumption.  Some researching into music, a few games, then off to bed.

06.Tuesday
More work.

Errands, more music research, a little more gaming, then bed.

07.Wednesday
Worked a longer day.

Trivia, smaller team than usual.  I helped out a tad.  We made it to the bonus/tie-breaker round.

Home, sleep.

08.Thursday
Work

Costco trip

Home, leftovers and recorded tv shows

09.Friday
Worked a longer day, but luckily working for next week.

Home, Umiya for sushi dinner.

Back home and watched the tale-end of a documentary about a crazy mom who likely killed the father, then herself and the child.  Go go legal system failure.

10.Saturday
Weekend! Mostly just watched Football
