just shoot me.
that's right folks, i'm in the midst of a desperate hunt for more work. i had a wretched nightmare last night that i couldn't find anything, and benjamin and i moved into the park because we couldn't afford an apartment, and i worked for wal*mart's public trolley system. i had to pull/push a lever from 12:30-18:00, five days a week. it was one of those dreams from which it takes several minutes to wake up--"i know if i just stay in bed the problem will go away!" and in the end, it does, but only partly, because those dreams are always based in reality (or else they wouldn't be so wretched), so you're left with this growing sense of impending doom mixed with a sort of half-satisfactory relief.
at any rate, i applied to four or five more jobs today, just to make myself feel better.
benjamin and blaine have picked up unreal tournament 2004 as their current game of choice, and have been obsessively battling away this week. i haven't played yet (don't know as i will--twitch games aren't really my forte), but it looks like good, solid fun. lovely graphics, ammo in really pretty colors, and gameplay that lets players essentially fly all over the place. (see why twitch games aren't my forte?)
in other news, a few firefox extensions to bring to your attention.
- the all-in-one sidebar. just met this character a few minutes ago. sets up a great little sidebar for most of firefox's "little windows": extensions, themes, page info, etc. very convenient.
- fission. stuffs the load progess indicator into the URL bar (or location bar, or address bar, or whatever the hey it's called), like it is in the new internet explorer and (apparently) safari. great feature, i'm addicted.
