Granted, a lot of the stuff I've been doing wouldn't really seem like work to the untrained eye. I borrowed a movie from my parents, but before I could watch it, I had to read the short story it was based on, but before I did THAT, I had to finish Cryptonomicon. There were also far too many crossword puzzles that had been sitting around for far too long, and I was about a week behind on my Origami-a-day calendar. My life is hell, I tell you.

There were also a few dozen or so "real" projects. Yesterday, I laundered, cleaned my bedroom, did the dishes and figured my taxes. Today, I was in full-on Domestic Goddess mode. There's spaghetti sauce on the stove, AND I ironed. I know, I know! I never iron. It's scary, the kinds of stuff I get done when I'm not working 24-7.

It occurs to me that so far, this has been kind of a boring entry. I've been doing a lot of stuff, but absolutely none of it involved lasers or time travel or even psychokinetic monkeys.

Wait, I don't even think I know any psychokinetic monkeys. How can this be?? I'm pretty sure that at one point, I was explicitly promised psychokinetic monkeys. This is not my beautiful life! Where the hell are my psychokinetic monkeys?

Now, just for a change of pace, I'm going to try a paragraph that actually makes sense.

Monkeys! MOOOOONNNNKEEEEYYYSSSS!!

Ahem. Yes. Give me just one minute. There's actually a whole bunch of stuff on my mind. I'm just kind of stalling a little while I figure out the best way to present it all. Talk amongst yourselves.

LARP is this weekend, and it's going to kick so much ass. Instead of the normal place, it's going to be at hotel here in Cowtown, amd alcohol will be served. That's right. Drunk geeks! With monkeys!

Oh, wait. Probably no monkeys. But drunk geeks! Woohoo!

See now, all this time I've been telling all of you how much the LARP rules, but you ignored me. Now I get to go drink many while pretending to be a naughty vampire god, and you do not, so neener neener neener.

I'm not totally sure how big a part alcohol is going to play in the evening, but it should be fun in any case. Sober LARP is pretty damn amusing, and a little alcohol can only make it better. Two great tastes that taste great together! Like peanutbutter and chocolate! Like Monkeys and roller skakes!

You know, without the monkey motif, this really would be a pretty boring entry. I guess I'm done for now.
