The vacation is nearly over.
I saw Jeff, briefly. I saw Coram, briefly.
My friends are either busy or sick all the time, so I didn’t seem them much. I’ve ended up being stuck with my parents all week. It’s been nice, but I wish I could have seen the people I grew up with.
With Jeff I hung out with him for a lunch and we talked. I think I’m getting a little too depressed, because I think I was a bit of a downer. I’m jealous of Jeff because he is such a fun guy and has never seemed to have any trouble getting attention. The only way I’ve ever gotten attention is when I start doing things like dying my hair blue. In other news, it is not looking good for a European vacation this year.
With Coram, he came over for a dinner with his wife and baby. Lily is only four months old and Coram is deep into the new father syndrome. Very gooey. Lots of baby faces. I think he needs to get away from that kid soon.
Today I had made the plan to tire out the Harry, the family dog, as much as possible. I took him for a 45 minute run in the morning. In the afternoon, I took him snowshoeing with my mother. This evening he was with me for a walk with my father. There was a plan yesterday to do an evening excursion tonight to Beaudry park and tire him out there too, but Coram’s illness started acting up, so he bailed. Harry was crankier than usual this evening, but I don’t think he is going to sleep the whole night like I wanted.
I saw the movie “The Butterfly Effect” the other day. I saw the director’s cut version and was amazed at how good a movie it was. I spent the rest of the day mulling over it. The ending was depressing, but it felt like a good ending. Then I had it pointed out to me that the theatrical release had a happier ending. So I went back and checked that out too. It was a happier ending, but it wasn’t as good. Some movies are meant to be tragedies and just don’t work if a happy ending is shoehorned in. It was interesting seeing the differences though.
I spent some time on the computer this week. I learned enough CSS to be dangerous so I redesigned the website for my D&D game. It looks classier now, but there are still some improvements I’d like to do to the XSL transformation. Now all I need to do is get around to uploading the changes.
