I finally threw out the christmas tree that’s been sitting on my second-floor balcony since, well… my birthday. :)
Also, I’ve burned 10 out of 50 CDs for the con party I’m throwing at Penguicon. :) I’ll be giving away copies of Software for Starving Students (PC version). I’m geeked for the “Free Hugs, Free Software” party. ;)
Oop, Anne’s here, time for some tasty vittles!
I bet you didn’t know that John McCain changed his stance on gay marriage!
(Heh, neither did he.)
“While there’s still no official, announcement-style confirmation that Beautiful Katamari is coming to the Wii, we’re tentatively jumping up and down with glee around the Wii Fanboy offices.The rumors have been glomming together into a beautiful, spherical whole, we’re almost convinced that the King of All Cosmos will be decrying our lack of rolling skill this winter.
Several sites are reporting that references to the Wii title are popping up everywhere — most recently on GameFly, showing a release date in November. …On the Katamari front,however, and we must stress this “however” quite strongly — this latest”confirmation” could simply be a matter of GameFly picking up other rumors. We’ve seen retail slip-ups and placeholders spawn rumors before, and they often come to naught. But with so much buzz around it, we hope to hear something one way or another from Namco on the possibility of a Wii Katamari title. Creator Keita Takahashi hasn’t hesitated to speak up before … but perhaps the smashing success of the Wii has changed af ew minds? We’ll keep you posted.”
Seeing Li’l D, the benniferus, and colleen in quick succession, at various fun occasions, has done very good by me. I’m all shivery like an excited puppy dog … or perhaps that’s the caffeine kicking in. ;)
Lucy had a formal vet event at a lansing zoo, and we danced the evening away with her friends, with time out to visit the otters, the incredibly playful foxes, large jackalope-like rabbit things that had legs like effin’ deer, and an interesting creature named something similar to a “bitturrong” (man, trying to find something phonetically on the internet is a bear) that looked just like an R.O.U.S. The zookeeper said (if I’m not mistaken) that it’s one of two mammals with prehensile tails.
Work is heavy on the “work” part, but I’m kicking butt, so I guess it’s all good. There’s something kind of bemusing about creating the template for the New York Auto Show, then flying out there to fill it, y’know? That’s what I’m doing between the 3rd and the 6th of April, actually – if anyone out there has some free time in the morning of Tuesday the 3rd, I’d be grateful for a ride. If not, I guess I’ll just make the company pay for my parking.
A month from now I’ll finally be visiting San Francisco for the first time! I’m majorly excited, it’s been on my list for forever. There are at least four people I’d like to see while I’m there – maybe one of those evenings I could arrange a dinner with my fine SanFran friends? Hmmmmm….
This is a great day to spend outside with the windows down, and good company to boot. :D
