September 2001
| 4 | We're still getting used to it, but I think it will be good for us. |
| 5 | The scene in my mind was intensely visual, better drawn that written perhaps. |
| 6 | Finally, I managed to scan a couple of sketches from my sketchbook. |
| 7 | Desperation is the mother of creativity - and I am desperate not to become an Oracle programmer. |
| 10 | Maybe I should lay in a stock of not just extra caffeine, but some chocolate for that quick sugar rush. |
| 11 | And I'm sure that's all you really want to read about a fictional wedding. |
| 12 | I started writing this yesterday, while I was still too numb to really absorb things. |
| 13 | But as it turned out, I was grateful for the work that needed to be done. Even if I couldn't truly focus on it, it gave me - as it were - a distraction from the distractions. |
| 14 | I spent about an hour arguing with my scanner last night, and finally convinced it to scan a couple of pictures from my sketchbook. |
| 17 | Anyone with good recipes, please send them to me! |
| 18 | I'm going to talk about it again now. Non-gamers... Sorry. Come back tomorrow. |
| 19 | I went to bed a little before 10 last night - less than four hours after a two and a half hour nap, mind you. |
| 20 | Once again, my apologies to the non-gamers out there... but I spent almost as long Halling yesterday as I spent at work, and I'm pretty sure none of you want to hear about the trials and tribulations of having to learn to write Oracle code. |
| 21 | So I'm writing my journal entry, but I don't know when I'll be able to post it. My apologies to those of you who read early in the day. |
| 24 | Wait... wait... Yup, it's a Monday all right. |
| 25 | Cuteness aside, outward appearances aside - what fascinates me about babies is their potential, the vast unknown stretching in front of them. |
| 26 | Yes, I'm going to be baby-crazy for a little while. Shut up and deal. Or go away and come back in about a week. |
| 27 | And then... it played. I was so stunned, I couldn't even take my headphones off. |
| 28 | I can not begin to tell you how happy I am that today is Friday. I just have to get through the next eight hours, and then I'm free for two days. |
