There are no words.  
Dear Diary,

Today I couldn't commit my work back to the Subversion repository because there was no more space on the server.

That's all.

Assassin's Creed II.  
I am still really, really enjoying this game. Like, a lot. I only just arrived in Venice, so I've not really explored it much, but I suspect this puts me about a third of the way through the plot? Roughly. I have no honest idea. I'm just hoping to finish the game before the downloadable content comes out in Jan/Feb. (BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES HERE I COME.)

Also, I did not miss the hugging quicktime event. I MAY HAVE MASHED THE ENTIRE CONTROLLER WITH BOTH HANDS, but I hit the goddamn button. *coughs* >_>;

In any case, expecting Wyrren in about half an hour, because we are going to go see her dad's band play at some club in the Valley. :D This may involve another shower because fuckdamn it is warm and disgusting, ugh.

By which I mean I will be over here resisting the urge to turn my PS3 back on.

as long as you don't fall into the cracks in the road  
Upon review of the contents of the laundry, the second dark load is hereby postponed until I go to bed, because it seems pointless to do the washing and then immediately contribute to the pile again. (Although we'll have to do mum's holiday laundry tomorrow anyway, so whatev.)

In any case, the todo list:
- fold the dark load
- wash the red load
(I still cannot believe we have enough reds between us to make a fucking red load. XD)
- dry the red load
- fold the red load
- water the plants
- wash mum's sheets
- dry mum's sheets

- clean the bathroom
- vacuum downstairs
- cook dinner (kormaaaaaaa)

Other than that, my plans for today involve finishing books and playing video games, and probably cooking at some point, though since I am still kind of craving pizza, this last is debatable.

Mostly augasm.  
Patrick Wolf was in town last night, and I took Maddie and Sonya, except Sonya had to leave before PW actually started playing. T___T Words do not describe my grief for her. My grief is somewhat assuaged by not thinking it was quite as awesome as Elbow at the Tivoli. BUT IT WAS STILL PRETTY GODDAMN AMAZING. )

We had a delicious Espresso Martini at the Bowery before we went to the concert, too, and man, that place is gorgeous. I always knew good things lay within that building - I've been fond of it ever since we moved here in 2006, and yet never went in. I should go sit in there early on weekday afternoons when I can afford to keep myself in twenty dollar cocktails for long enough to enjoy the atmosphere. Enjoyed my usual immunity to vodka, though, which was quite nice.

Today was reasonably productive, despite obstacles (i.e. more scheduling meetings). I think I'll finish all the open bugs for EWP5 and EAP5 docs on Monday, so I can stage those for review, give Gary a hand with his mod_cluster docs, and start working on release notes for the EAP5 post-GA items, EWS, and EWP. Next week should hopefully involve the dev team finishing ripping the guts out of EAP to make EWP and actually combing through my docs and telling me what needs to go before they reflect EWP support. I hope. Note that I do not say this with any great degree of optimism. But I should be occupied most of next week with... more... scheduling. >_>; Sigh. If worst comes to worst, I can always start trying to thread together a Security Guide. Should probably spend some time studying for RHCT at some point, too. Sigh. THAT is something that ought to go on my schedule. Oh well.

Not a lot of housework to do tomorrow, because I actually do keep on top of things during the week when there aren't other people to contend with, but I still have to:
- fold the dark load
- wash the red load
(I still cannot believe we have enough reds between us to make a fucking red load. XD)
- dry the red load
- fold the red load
- wash my sheets
- dry my sheets
- wash mum's sheets
- dry mum's sheets
- clean the bathroom
- vacuum downstairs

...which, now I look at it, is pretty much the same as my list every other week. I refuse to vacuum upstairs when I've only been up there to turn the air-conditioning off and on, though. (I keep insisting I have no need for a television bar video games, and no one believes me. Mum will come home on Sunday and be all WHERE HAVE YOU PUT THE REMOTE, you watch.)

say something.  
I really don't have a lot to say these days. Fortunately at the moment that has nothing to do with the general apathy that usually percolates through days without IJ entries. Today was Monday, and very Mondayish. Work is going well, and I'm in a state of comfortable normalcy as far as mood goes, which is a great relief.

Might be going to see Zombieland with some guys from work tomorrow night, which will be good assuming I'm in the mood for company. I hope I am. I suspect I will not be, which would be sad.

Another two projects out the door tomorrow! I would be more excited if I could actually start work on the next projects yet. I sort of spent the afternoon creating work for myself because I'm at a teensy bit of a loose end with the upcoming work while I wait on information.

Meeting tomorrow morning may or may not solve that.

Off to beta Katie's script and then bed. Night, interwebs.

IT'S THE MOST. WONDERFUL TIME. OF THE YEAR.  
Or something like that, anyway. What I mean is...

Christmas Fic Time!

Comment with three or more prompts and I will endeavour to write at least one of them for you.

You can ask for anything you like. :) I just may not be happy enough with the result of all of them to show them to you.

So, comment away! Yes, all of you. GO GO GO.

Job Satisfaction.  
Probably shouldn't be so happy to have played around with planning software for the last two days, but I'm still on target for the next project - or as on-target as I can be with no information - and I think we'll be okay for GA on Tuesday, which is good.

Left later than I meant to this evening, and then stayed in town with Darrin for an extra hour, since I'm pretty sure I made him miss his bus. >_>; Picked up Gina's birthday presents in the process, just in the nick of time, and also found the novelisation of AC2. Yes, you read that right. I had to get it. It was just too cracktastic not to buy. XD I picked up the latest Bleach volume, too, so... man, why do I go shopping on paycheck day? I couldn't have done worse if we'd gone to Archives at lunch. -_-

Mum is off to Tasmania for a week on Sunday, and I'm off to Dad's tomorrow afternoon, so it will be a day of cleaning and packing and running... and probably of installing F12 in a virtual box, since Marco was handing around CDs this afternoon. I REFUSE TO LIKE IT but I'll feel bad using it as a coaster without so much as giving it a fighting chance. Also, I wouldn't mind doing a little bit of work on the Seam 2.0.2 documentation this weekend, since it came in late and the Seam docs are uuuuuuuuugly, to quote the hyenas.

Mmmm. ^^ I'm looking forward to the weekend, though. And the week after that. I'm... looking forward to things. And comfortable. And this is rare enough that I enjoy it all the more.
