Finally! More VR story! And posted on time! Doodlehopper paced up and down the shabby motel bedroom like a general from a bad World War II movie. Thomas was sprawled back on the bed, his hands behind his head, watching her. He had a bemused expression on his face, and he really didn’t know why. He was curiously detached from Doodlehopper

Tuesday, December 7, 2004 — Pearl Harbor Day (USA)
Well, it’s been a wacky couple of days. I knew I’d have to wake up early on Monday morning, to attend the presentation of my high school friends on the book Gates of Fire. I also knew that, if I tried to sleep for only a few hours Sunday night, I’d end up sleeping right through the presentation. So, when I was unable to go to sleep early, I stayed up all night, mainly reading the last half […]

‘Twas a fairly full day, which is appropriate considering the gorgeous weather. December and it’s in the 60’s? I’ll take it. Went to Leesburg Baptist this morning, and heard another excellent sermon. A few choice quotes: “We have made antiseptic what God wants to make therapeutic.” “God honors process.” Went to my parents’ house and hung out there for a couple of hours, then helped my Dad move some of my grandmother’s furniture. […]

Today was baking day. I made M&M cookies, mint chocolate chip cookies, reverse chocolate chip cookies, peanut blossoms, and spritz. In addition to the gingersnaps I made yesterday and the buckeye balls I made on Thursday, I’ve made seven different kinds of cookies for Christmas. And I still have three more varieties I plan to make. Baking consumed most of my day. I did manage to watch a Russian animation of the Swan Princess story, which I enjoyed for the detailed […]

Because of my Redemption card club meeting this night, I got little done today. Work was pretty much a wash; everyone in my group was migrated to a new version of Windows XP today. It went relatively smoothly, but there are still a number of connectivity problems. So I came home early and made gingersnaps. I want to have something extra done before my main baking on Saturday. Then early to the church, where […]

Accomplishments: Ordered a 256 MB SD card (for my Treo 600) off Amazon.com. And in case anyone’s wondering, here’s why Amazon.com is eating online retailers for lunch: Including shipping, my 256 MB SD card cost what a 128 MB SD card would have cost at my nearest Best Buy or Circuit City. Went grocery shopping, and bought pretty much all the ingredients I’ll need for making cookies this weekend. […]

As with yesterday, my illness sucked out the energy I needed to be productive today. I did manage to do my strength training exercises, review Japanese (Kore wa Brent desu), and watch the last four episodes of .Hack//Sign. It was a wonderful four episodes, except that it didn’t end; the final episode was a cliffhanger. I feel like I’m missing something important, and plan to do some research online to see if I’ve […]
