My appologies for not posting in so long, and for that matter, my blog being down. The location where it’s hosted had a several day network outage, so it was impossible for me to post or anything like that. That said, let’s get on with the post.
Gods, what to say. Most of my time has been taken up by work. Work this week was rather interesting. Monday morning, one of our primary servers was “rolled” (hacked) and the password database was taken. So after reseting everyone’s password and sorting all that out, we imediately went to work on getting things backed up on the server, and looking into migrating off the server asap. We were going to this summer anyway, but now it’s a little more pressing. F*ck Microsoft. Why can’t they produce a decent OS? Well, either way, we’re killing the couple NT servers, and moving to MacOS X. We might have one Windows2003 server to serve up Terminal Services. Blah blah blah. I just today fixed one of our Mac servers that seemed to have some weirdness going on. Oh well, that’s all boring (atleast, it is to me when I’m at work… all this week I’ve just about passed out from bordom).
My spare time this week has been somewhat null. Free time… well, has been taken up by one of the alltime greatest games. Final Fantasy VII. I’ve been telling myself and a few friends I was wanting to replay it… then a friend said she hadn’t played it, and wanted to watch me play it (I know, I know… I was a little weirded out too). So… that’s what I’ve been up to for the past week. God I love the game… unfortunately the graphics aren’t quite as stunning as they were at the time, but the story still kicks ass. It’s been probably 5 years, so most of the story is lost in my mind… no doubt replaced by X, and Chemistry. Eh, what says I can’t just replace those with VII? hehe.
Eventful parts of the week? I got good encodes of the Bebop soundtrack finally. Got a copy of the new Weird Al Album (hahahah, eat it Sara!). Finally got back in contact with someone I met up at SakuraCon… ‘s like pulling teeth. Let’s see… there’s something else, but I can’t say anything about it. So… let’s just say I might be preoccupied for a while. Atitd might have to go by the wayside. I’m sorry to all of you… I wish I could keep my account open yet not pay for it. I don’t want to waste the money if I don’t play, but I don’t want to quit… I know the desire will come again. Though, too many parts of the game were just pissing me off. Eh, we’ll see.
Let’s see… something more thoughtful. Someone, tell me, what’s better? A Long Distance Relationship (LDR) that suffers from lack of energy from one or both parties, or just breaking up and being single? It’s something that’s come to mind recently, and I’m not sure I can answer it. One is a comfort thing… the other is probably more logical. But as I’ve found time and time again, there is little logical about love.
Well, I think that’s it unless something else comes to mind later, or I have a really enlightening convo with someone. Here’s your chance to make it to my blog! Good luck. ๐

๐ Wierd Al sucks and everyone knows it.
Yes, it’s me! Posting from the great void that is the east coast (thanks to a grant from CityBank, this convention has a beautiful room just filled with brand new dells!). And wow, does it suck. I’ve had tons of fun spending tons of money at the tons of upscale little shops here, but besides that, boston is a smelly nasty city, and I can’t wait to be home. Love the subway, though, it’s so simple! You can go anywhere in like 45 minutes max. With no planning!
So last night I met Dan Savage. He was funny and sexy and really, really offensive. He managed to piss off the entire transgendered horde in the room (which I guess was large) by saying he only really believed in two genders. But he was pretty cute, so it was ok. I talked to him for a while afterwards, and got him to sign some books.
So yeah, I’m sure you totally want to hear more. But, I have to drag myself off to plenery, which should be wonderful. I think today’s action items have something to do with our congregational response to the recent supream court decision. Whew.
Ciao, and see you guys soon! I really miss home and everyone ๐

#1 Jesus H. Christ Sara, you’re in Boston and all you can think of it is that it’s smelly and nasty? *slap* Get out and enjoy that city for it’s beauty and enjoy yourself, for fuck’s sake. It’s one of the most famous cities in the country, lgo and live it up! Do it for me who’s bored in Eugene!
#2 Ryan you’ve been awfully secretive lately…
#3 …and to answer your poll question, break up and be single. No point in having an intimate relationship without any energy or interest behind it, in my opinion.
