Latest inappropriate Kanji sighting...

A woman in the call center with 男 (otoko, or “man”) tattooed on the side of her neck.

Well, she did look kinda mannish. She must have a Japanophile friend who hates her or something. :P

rrrr....

We made another foray into the desert a couple weeks ago…

Diana and I were up until 2 a.m. playing Halo. :P I love that she’s shaping up to be such an avid gamer, but man, this is bad for my sleeping habits…

Wow - looks like CXBX, the XBox emulator, can succesfully run its first commercial game at full speed on a Pentium 4. And if you “overclock” it, the game runs at 4x speed.

Good to know that someday I’ll be able to play Halo with the same ease that I currently play Bomberman.

Grrr...

Have to study up on Java Server Pages for a job interview with the Professional Services department Thursday. Meanwhile, my mother calls me yesterday and tells me she’s about to hop in the car for the drive down here. (I had e-mailed her a few days ago telling her I’d need more warning.) I yelled at her, of course, but then told her she could come anyway, if she delayed leaving an extra day to let me study. :P She should show up sometime Thurday.
