Fhtagn Friday. Was a pretty good friday, not enough sleep as usual lately,
got up. Prepped, went walking, still think it was easier to walk in
NYC...my lungs are more adapted for retrieving minerals from the air I
think. Drove up to visit friends, playing catch up on podcasts.
Friend time was good, got brownies as a late spawning day gift. Watched
a couple of After Dark Horrorfest flicks I got from Redbox. We also
watched a movie called 'Dark Floor' which was the horror flick that the
band Lordi starred in a few years ago. I'd seen it before, but I didn't
remember it...so it was fun to rewatch with friends. Pizza was ordered,
and their pup was given much petting. Cut out kind of early, tired fox
was tired.
Drove home listening to an audio lecture on Rome. Nothing new, but I
like the lecturer's style and bits of humor. Wish my anxiety hadn't
spiked up, but it did...and I didn't want to try to fumble a xanax out
of the Vest of Many Pockets while driving. Came home, took said med,
watching a silly movie and winding down. Then it's the rest of my meds,
and bed. Current reading is a book about the Siege of Malta in 1565.
Suddenly I'm tempted to work the Knights Hospitaller into my weird
Deep One mythos instead of the over done Templars.
Tomorrow the Cthulhumas decorations and MockingJay. And some sleeping in
I hope. Night night boys and ghouls, talk to you later.

Last night was dreams about chasing thing, and demonic cars that absorbed
people. Woke up an hour before my alarm and said 'Oh, that's good enough'
and got up to avoid my subconscious. Wrote some edits on the resume,
then re-wrote them, then went off on a tangent. Starting to think I need
to save this thing as a git repository so I can roll back and merge changes.
Ugg. Do. Not. Like.
Sleepy as Hades. Thinking I may go walking early today just to get
more O2 in the lungs. I also need to stop by the store, need more
veggies/salad stuff. Weekend is going to be social. Visiting
some friend on Friday afternoon, late
spawning day celebration for the Honey Badger. Saturday is down at
Amythest's place with Nymaz to do holiday decorating, then going to
see the new Mockingjay movie. Which requires me to wikiwander the plots,
as I've only seen the first one. Really don't have much interest in
seeing this one, but Amythest and Nymaz do, and I've inflicted a ton of
bad movies on them. Plus, the only movie in the theaters I'm half interested
in, the new Krampus flick, isn't worth seeing on the big screen IMHO. So,
dystopian action it is. (And yay for friends who care enough to try to
find alternative plans) Sunday is back to normal, laundry, TV catch up,
and general down time.
Updated and moved around some VMs last night, so VMs of specific flavors
have specific linked names, also upgrading to the latest LinuxMint versions.
The beta period didn't last long at all, oh well. I'll upgrade Uxía to
the new version later in the month, and then do the same to Hydra some time
after that. Also have to redo my 'latest kernel' server, as it's utterly
hosed. That's a simple rebuild though, the server is a basic LAMP with
whatever latest kernel version I can make work. Maybe tonight.
That's about it for right now. Still sleepy. Definitely going to go
outside for a while. Which is good timing, as the album is about to
end. Catch you all later. *waves a tentacle*
Got up this morning early, after going to bed way early last night due to
yesterday's vapor lock. Got up, got the usual done. Didn't really get
motivated on anything til a friend of mine messaged me about a contract
position at where he works was opening up. Since said friend really enjoys
his job, I decided to take this as a sign to get my ass in gear...
So I promptly had an anxiety attack. Blah. Took my xanax, flaked a bit,
then put on my big cultist robes and started just poking around, rereading
friends' resumes, looking for examples, and bit by bit I got it done. Note
to self, Holst's 'Mars, Bringer of War' is good resume inspiration. Bit
by bit, I got it done, and LinkedIn updated. I just emailed it off to
some friends for eyeballs. Glaaahhhh. *thud*
So, yeah...I'm hoping this will work out. I'd prefer a perm position,
but both me and my friend think that if I can get my foot in the door, they'll
love me and keep me forever. And even if they don't, it's a job, it's income
and I can still jobhunt while contracting. So we'll see. If nothing
else, this was the kick in the ass I needed to get things moving along.
*deep breaths*
So, to wind down, I'm reinstalling some VMs. Yeah, I calm myself in the
weirdest ways. I also have an Asylum disaster flick playing, 'Asteroid
vs Earth'. Once the movie is done, I'll go off to do my day's walking,
come home, make dinner and see what happens tonight. So, any long term
good thoughts you have, I could use them. Ok, catch you guys later.
Ok, I'm done for today I think. Between vapor-locking about resume foo,
getting chores done, feeling less than great about finances vs Cthulhumas,
and a lovely, but emotional note about Mom and Dad, I don't think I'm
going to make any more progress. So, I'm calling today done. Try again
tomorrow I guess. *sigh*
