november
It looks like November will be another month of few updates. Last week I did roughly nothing at work. I could have done updates then. I didn't, obviously. I'm left wondering what, exactly, I did do. Strange that.
This week, I'm really busy again. I didn't mean to be. They're making me do something I told them I really didn't want to do. (The thing in question involves primarily writing a Java wrapper for a library that was written (badly) about five years ago). This makes me unhappy. There's a challenge in there, but it's a fairly boring challenge. Once I get the main points figured out, it's all just really boring and repetitive. I can only hope I'll be hailed as a genius when I'm done.
Today, as of course you're all aware, is the thirty-fourth anniversary of the premiere of the greatest television show ever, Doctor Who. Traditionally, I mark the occasion with a marathon (I have about 30 serials—roughly 60 hours—of the series in my video library). Unfortunately, the last few years, things keep cropping up to make this difficult: CTRL-A shows, trips home, exams and the like. This year is no different. Tonight is our annual company Christmas party. So the marathon will have to wait.
In preparation for the Christmas party, I went out yesterday and bought a couple startlingly attractive Christmas-patterned ties. A couple because I couldn't decide which would go very well with my blue not-entirely-formal-but-still-quite-nice dress ![[That's a nice trowel you've got there]](supplemental/hmgardening.jpg)
shirt. And I didn't want to buy another shirt, if for no other reason than I couldn't remember my neck size. It turns out neither go very well, but for no fault of their own. Ties most often seem to tend towards very dark. Which is good, I suppose, if you're wearing a white shirt. I would have liked something lighter. Oh well. The blue tie with little Santas running across will do well enough.
Also, as you're no doubt aware, Harvest Moon: Save the Homelands comes out this week. Which means, of course, I'm going to have to buy a Playstation 2 this weekend. I was thinking about getting a Gameboy Advance to play HM:GBC3, but that seemed a little silly. Then again, it does let you build irrigation channels. And you can have a pet pig.
