Lets see... The bug stole a few weeks of my life. Short of that, I started classes again (two globalization ones), which seem quite worthwhile so far. We'll see at what point I get overwhelmed with the amount of work from them. Still, the professor is cool, and I should end up with something possibly resembling real research I can do for my thesis, so it'll hopefully be well worth it.
I ended up watching some Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex while sick and unable to sleep--a pretty nice series. Not great, but not bad. That, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonwolf has provided lots of cool stuff to do and love while I was bedridden. In particular, watching 10th Kingdom has been quite interesting.
Su-Lyn, Bart and Vince dragged me to a local Bopa shop, and new sushi restaurant, and asian supermarket. All are quite cool. Bopa is like slushies with tapioca pearls and a really big straw so you can suck up the pearls too. It's run by a bunch of young Vietnamese people, and offers games, a mini-arcade and free wireless Internet. I hope they'll stay in business.
The sushi place has a nice decor and atmosphere, and strange entrees, with things like strawberry in some of their rolls. Ditto.
The asian supermarket, right behind Woody's, next to Staples and Sound Advice rocks. It's pretty big, very well organized (everything has a printed label with prices and titles in Chinese and English), and the prices are very reasonable. Products are from all over Asia; Korean, Japanese, Thai, Chinese... They also have the somewhat odd background noise of fish being whacked by rubber mallets, since most of their seafood needs to be, er, put to sleep before it can be handed to the customer. Until then it swims around. This is also where Vince has been getting the rice balls and dumplings he's been making with his steamer and feeding me. Vince is good.
Steve's game started back up, and I finally made it back to Kevin's as well. Yes, I'm a D&D nerd. It's fun. You should try it.
At work we're busily scheming to figure out what to do with our newly won /40 of IPv6 address space and building a bunch of new management servers. CentOS, which we're using, fits on a DVD, which has made installation a bit nicer--no swapping of CDs! When did Linux grow so much more bloated than Windows anyway? That, and one of my kids is leaving, so I need a new OPS worker.
The weather's been very nice and pleasantly cool--too bad my throat is still sore and I can't really enjoy it too much.
