Belated anniversary post!
So my blog's been around for more than a year now. Its original intent was to document the building of my new home. The house is still incomplete but suffice to say that the documentation of its progress is, well, lacking.
There are some of you out there who play a game called World of Warcraft. In this game, it is possible for another, anonymous human being to use their online avatar to repeatedly "gank" your own avatar in said game. We, in the know, like to call this "griefing." Last night my house was "griefing" me, and to such an extent that I felt an overwhelming urge much akin to what a pyromaniac must feel when left alone with a book of matches, gasoline, and a warehouse full of the finest sawdust. No need to worry, however, the house still stands.
Aside from all that life marches on. I'm still working as a web developer and I'm enjoying it a lot. Getting a new co-op student to work with every 4-8 months is like a fresh breath of air in the otherwise stale atmosphere of The Cubicle. In reality, however, my job is not nearly as bad as I would make it out to be, even on the worst of days.
The marriage of my younger brother Matt is now looming on the proverbial horizon. I can only hope my duties are limited to copious amounts of drinking and slapping Matt's back occassionally while issuing some nugget of wisdom such as: "how'sh 'bout tha local shportsh team?" Obviously, the former responsibility would only enhance the latter.
More photos to come assuming I can remember to bring that damned digital camera.
