My cat's name was Honda. My family got him about the same week as we got a similarly colored Honda Civic, and decided to name him that. This past week, he started to refuse food. The veterinarian said that his chest cavity was full of fluid and that multiple terminal problems were likely, so on Monday my parents and brother spent one last hour with him and then had him put to sleep. It was probably the right thing to do, since they said he was suffering pretty badly, but I can't help but think that he probably didn't see it coming.

Feels like I've been doing less than nothing for the past 10 days.
I missed what seems like quite a few get-togethers of jeremy's, and when people asked my why the only excuse I could muster was that I don't like sushi. It's a pretty valid excuse, but I think if the company had been different I would have gone.
It started out as an insertcredit forum post, but the promise of extreme difficulty coupled with my complete amnesia about completing Super Mario Bros. 2 made me very interested. To throw some fun into the mix, and as a little academic exersize, I wrote the mario challenge! website for me and some friends to track our progress and win fabulous prizes.
I spent most of today investigating different ways to read EXIF data in Python for the up and coming gallery. A few days ago, as noted elsewhere, I spent a day investigating Mono and writing trivially simple GUI applications in boo. These were kind of liesurely activities, but their usage was immediately relevant to anyone.. even a non-coder. When my images are immediately available to everyone along with the ISO setting, shutter speed, and timestamp, normal people will understand. When I show my parents GUI apps that I have written, they understand its uses.
I am virtually surrounded by this chuck klosterman article. People who know me well know that I am never really interested in one thing for very long, and that my interests almost always run deep. Such is the case with virtually all of the things I write about, and it just so happens that video games.
