I used the elliptical trainer again on Tuesday – and it’s starting to make the same noises it did just before it locked up again. If\/when it does, I’m going to insist on a new machine. It’s only a few months old and it doesn’t get used that hard.<\/p>\n

Work has been busy, though we did have a snow day earlier this week that I pretty much wasted with video games. I was wildly unproductive.<\/p>\n

Got a new game last night – Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. It’s a little silly, but still pretty cool. All the missions are flying and involve some kind of combat. The voices sound like the Peanuts cartoon and are already getting a little old, but the controls are solid and the explosions are plentiful.<\/p>\n

I had a zombie nightmare this morning – bad enough to wake me up before the alarm went off and kept me up. I was stumbling around in a dark kitchen, trying to feel for a knife I could use to destroy all the undead in the basement. Yes, I’m aware that’s the dumbest thing I could do – I should have just gotten out of the house and found a weapon somewhere else. Instead, I finally found a knife, then rejected it as being too small and dull – as if I really had the luxury of being picky. I picked up another knife and turned – only to be attacked by the first zombie that had made it up the stairs. I fought it off and laboriously sawed it’s head off. Then I headed for the basement to destroy the rest of the them and woke up as I was headed down the stairs.<\/p>\n

I’m rarely that stupid in my dreams – not sure if this means anything or not, but it can’t be good.<\/p>\n

Watched Lost last night – and had a low grade argument with my room-mate. He keeps throwing out these terms to explain what’s going on in the show and I’m fairly convinced he’s using them wrong. Last night’s episode cleared up a lot of the mysteries for me – it was almost disappointing in a way – but I think I need to do a powerpoint for my room-mate.<\/p>\n

Finally, I tried to do my taxes on our snow day, but I got stuck since I moved last year and the city taxes – the most unreasonably complicated part of the process – were even more complicated than usual. I may have to bite the bullet and take them somewhere to be done this year. <\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Time to get back to work…<\/p>\n
