Because I know there’s more.

Sorry I had to walk away for a bit. It could be because I’ve gotten fat and lazy, but it’s so much easier to blame it on you, that I’m going with that. However, I’m trying very hard to get off the lazy couch and summer is approaching, so hopefully you’ll see more of me in less soon.

I’m alive and well. The trip was amazing, but it was quite different from how I remembered it.
Here’s a picture of Leprechaun Lake on October 21, 2006:
Then here’s the same lake from a different angle October 20, 2007:
I’ll do a proper write-up of the place when I’m not working my ass off. Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well.

Sorry for my complete lack of posting, I’ve been busy drowning my sorrow, now that backpacking season is officially over and snowboarding season has yet to come, in much too much alcohol and definitely too much anime.
I’ve taken up dorking out by watching every episode of Bleach from start to 143 in the last week. I’ve been told I should always watch Death Note and Shaman King, so here’s to having zero life.
Things will be a bit quiet around here because I plan on jumping back to my old hobby of reading snippets of too many books and never completing one.
In the mean time, I hope everyone is having a great autumn and may there be many hot slutty costumed girls in your near future.

It hurts to be back this early, both in the physical beat-down sense and mental failing-to-hit-a-summit sense. Being at the mercy of the weather gods can be rough sometimes. Still, it’s nice to be freshly showered with a solid game plan for round 2. I’ll post a write-up of the place when I get some rest.

I’m tired and achy. My hips are chafed from all the long backpacking trips carrying a pack more than one third my weight. The bruises on my legs from climbing Mount Adams and having the strong wind topple me over onto a rock have yet to disappear. I’ve spent the last three weekends with sweat-matted hair covered in dust blown in from windstorm after windstorm. Still, it’s always worth going back if only in hopes to wake up to this:
I will do a proper write-up of the last hike when I have a moment.

I’m going on a big scary hike over the long weekend so hopefully I will have pretty pictures from the top of some mountain to post. *fingers crossed* Pray for good weather with me. And no windstorms please.

I’ve done nothing all weekend except for hanging out with a couple friends and cooking up a storm…I still need to write about my last trip (this is like the piles of games I must play and SOON). Still, I’m alive and I’ve found a wonderful vegan soup to share…soon.

We now interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a quick volunteering update:
I haven’t talked much about my new volunteer gig mostly because I can’t tell if I enjoy it or hate it yet. There are times when it gets insanely boring with not even enough papers to file. Then there are nights like tonight when the door swings open and I see a guy projectile vomiting (a la Poltergeist style) what looks like a gallon of blood without exaggeration…and I realize in a hospital setting, boring might be a good thing.

Gah, I didn’t mean to leave that last depressing post up alone for so long, but we’ve got a focus test build that we need to have done by this Wednesday and holy sheesh there were new menus and AI galore that must be tweaked and polished. While our lesser known studio motto is “We make little girls cry”, making children cry because our game breaks if they try to play it at all, is not quite the flavor of awesome we seek.
On Sunday, I had my third volunteer orientation. Third. While I did wonder why the hell they had to orient a new volunteer three times, the hospital layout finally started making sense on the third day. I feel like I actually know what I will be doing when I hit my volunteer shift tonight – which is great because I work from 8 till midnight, when anyone that knows what I should be doing is gone.
This combination of milestone stress and lack of time has an odd way of turning me into Cranky McBitchyPants and smacking me around with a Rolled-Up Newspaper of Humorlessness. Hopefully things will return to our normal program of shameless prancing around in bikinis soon.
In other news, I’ve been watching this British sitcom called “Coupling”, which is like a cross between Friends and Sex in the City with endless bawdy jokes, so now every time I see girls with huge racks, I feel like chanting, “Breasts! Breasts! Breasts!”

This week is milestone week, so I’ve been once again putting in a few extra hours at work. I love milestone week because there’s usually such a sense of accomplishment at the end of the week. I hate milestone week because this is the week where all the crap that I really don’t want to do, stuff that I’ve carefully Tetris’d into the storage closet, have to be dragged out and sorted through. There are bugs that took hours of banging my head against the wall and sobbing loudly at my keyboard to find that one bad line of code.
Last night as I was driving home with a crick in my brain, I thought, “God, I could sure use a cold beer right about now.” Right then, Jesse called me up - I could hear in the background that he was out and about. I demanded to know where he was. He told me he was with Sung and they’re drinking at Hooters (I love my classy friends) and that I should join them. After zero seconds of arm twisting, I told him I’ll be right there.
Tonight, when I drive home, I’m going to focus on thinking, “God, I could sure use a buddy that wants to climb Mount Adams with me.”
