Good Bad and Ugly

well, it was a great week, it was an awful week. it was definitely an ugly week. The ugliness came from the game developers conference. This event is run by CMP, my former employer. Fortunately, there is no bad blood there, and all my former coworkers were quite happy to see me. As I was to see them. But, still, it was ugly. the world pf game development is not pretty. These people are not attractive. When I ran into Dave Arneson, creator of Dungeons and Dragons, I was both overwhelmed with awe, and old man smell. /Gamers do not age well.

I made many new friends and had a good week, though i am tired fromall the walking and lugging of the laptop around the Moscone West.

As i write this , ms. kim is drunkenly giving us food and drinks.

Continuing the next day....

Ms. Kim really did take care of us. So much so thta I was unable to finish this entry.

Now, the reason this past week was awful is that Langston died.

He was a great rat, and lived a happy and fat life. He never bit anyone (unless he mistook their fingernails for food and gently tugged at them). He did steal, quite a bit: sandwiches, tomatoes, anything he could get ahold of and drag under the couch or into his cage. He was a sweet and intelligent rat, and We'll miss him very much.
