Mood: Good.
Music: iPod syncing as we speak...
Game: World of Warcraft, COD2, Full Auto
Book: Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson. Yes, again.
Weather: Sunny and cold...colder than usual. Might even be below 40F today.
Finally got some of that code working. There's something really satisfying about making a system run the way it's designed/supposed to. While I'm not all the way there yet, I can feel my brain sorta working its way back into coding mode...thinking of things in certain ways, losing track of time when I'm backing on code, flipping between the editor, the FTP program, and the browser...just constantly cycling...putting in debug variables and lines...checking that, investigating. I just like it.
Not sure I'd want to do it for a living or anything...but I really enjoy it.
As soon as the iPod is done syncing up, I'm going to head to the post office and send off this 401k distribution form. Yes, I know it's a "bad idea." Of course, it's not the first time I've emptied my 401k, and so the amount in there probably isn't nearly what you think it might be. Doesn't matter...bad idea, good idea...it's necessary for me right now. So there ya have it.
I'll find a nice job, get a 401k opened again, and just dump cash into it. I know I'm almost 40. What can I tell you? 25 years to make enough to retire on. I figure in the first 20 years of employment I made and lost enough money to retire on, I can do it again. I'm just lucky like that.
Anyway, I'm starving. Food, post office, maybe stop off and get something to make for dinner.
And back to coding.
