Yippee-ki-yay
 |
Thursday night I got together with meriko for dinner at Viognier in San Mateo. It was really nice to get together, and the food was quite good.
Today I'm off to the car dealer while Meredith is at church. It seems the dealer forgot to give us one little piece of paperwork -- specifically, the temporary proof of registration. That seems important. Meredith tried to pick it up earlier in the week, but there was no one there who knew where the paper was. And the CD player still isn't hooked up. Buying a car just can't be simple, I guess.
My favorite Counter-Strike server has been down this week because the company that was hosting the server fell over and died. I'm learning that most public Counter-Strike servers suck. The whole thing that makes the game interesting over other games is that there's such an emphasis on it being a team game. Unless, of course, you're just selfish and only care about racking up individual kills. Except that even that usually doesn't work, because you'll just end up being the lone person left camping against a squad of players that actually knows how to work as a team, and they'll hunt you down and kill you. But many people don't seem to be able to learn this. Oh well.
I was grateful for the weather this week, and the fact that I can start biking to work again. Daylight savings time helps a lot, since it means that I'm not biking home on Stevens Creek Trail in near total darkness. The other option is to bike down well-lit Shoreline Blvd., which is a mile shorter, but makes me feel afterwards like I've just spent the ten-minute ride sucking on an exhaust pipe. Or several exhaust pipes.
