I try to make even my boring activities awesome. If necessary I play music. Or run it in my head. Or compare it to Rome somehow. (cf the amusing meme trend a few months ago.)

Heh, I read enough British/English/Scottish authors that I just naturally spell sabre that way (and sceptic instead of skeptic, although not much other Euro-flavor versions that I recall.)

Also I learned enough saber/sabre fighting in college to teach it as president of the fencing club (and afterward), so my Steam handle is Sabreman.

But... but operational security and over the horizon capability and... you know... the thing!

I installed my WH40K Dawn of War Soulstorm with the latest UltApoc mod yesterday.

In itself, not exciting. Gus' 401K story reminded me about it though, for various reasons.

(I have a three year old cousin who will probably plotz when he watches me playing it, though right now he's fixated on my PS2 emulation of Godzilla: Save the Earth.)

I have been paying too much into my 401k account and have to adjust it a bit.

I received my annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement from my bank. It indicated a substantial increase in the monthly mortgage payment due to a rather large escrow shortfall. I tracked the cause down to a huge increase in the premium of my home owner's insurance policy. For no reason at all it nearly doubled. I cancelled my old policy and went with a new insurer. Mostly comparable coverage at a premium that is actually a little less than what I was paying before the increase.

Sometimes you need to take one step back to take two steps forward.

Asleep yet?
