Last night I left V and her dad home alone to watch movies and drink beer. I went out with Ron, Luz (SP?), Rob, and Mona to play Illuminati. I've only recently learned how to play, and I absolutely love it. Luz won as the Bermuda Triangle. I was the Servants of Cthulhu.
The houe was filled with cats. I was a mess by the end of the night.
No word on the Temp agency job. I'm not hanging my hopes on it, because every previous time I have done this, I've been fux0red over. So I'm trying not to think about it. Thursday, I will know.
I have two stories to finish up this weekend. One on BLEEX, the Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton. The other on this long blue 1U network meeting appliance. While the product itself is fine, and will probably sell like hotcakes, there is absolutely 0 need for it. It does nothing that you can't do with IRC and the built-in Windows control sharing software.
Anyway, today, we are going to WonderCon in SF. Should be an absolute blast. Harvey Pekar and Tobey McGuire will be there. V is going to use the opportunity to curse-out the DC staff, as they canceled her favorite comic this year: "Harley Quinn." Now she's really into Spawn Dark Ages. It's a limited series that's long finished, so she'll be scouring the bins for the old issues. I'd like to get some Transmetropolitan, anything related to The Filth, and perhaps some Sandman, as I have always heard good things.
