Even more stuff!
Feb. 6th, 2010 03:33 pmOK! First bits first. I'm employed again, at least for the moment, helping with crunch time on an online game project. They're using Maya instead of Max, so the first week was mostly me getting back up to speed in it. But I've got a pretty good handle on it again now, and they like my work so far, so hopefully that'll all go well.
The bank still hasn't got further into the foreclosure process than stern letters. Justin & I both got our financial shiz sent in to a short sale agent, though the nibble we had doesn't seem to be seriously interested. The short sale guys said they'd keep trying anyway and see if they had any luck. Foreclosure versus short sale, though, doesn't seem to make much difference on our end, since we haven't got enough assets to stick in your eye. The bank did knock my credit limit down to $2300 though, which is a pain in the ass since I'm already at it. I never did understand why they'd had it up as stupid high as it was.
I got a bunch of Doctor Who toys and it is SILLY how happy I am about that. I got this awesome Fourth Doctor set with liek Daleks and robots and mummy robots, and I became enthused and bought all the oldschool ones Bigbadtoystore had on clearance, and a bunch of newschool ones from Quez (who is AWESOME!!). Now I have to figure out how you get Ebay to tell you when listings for the shit you want come up cause I want the hell out of a Sixth Doctor with giant robot bits, but the only ones for sale are AU/UK and way overpriced.
Man, the end of the Tenth Doctor's run was... huh? Sith Master, rofl, and I enjoyed Ten's emo outburst about as much as I liked Vader's 'noooooo'. Ah well. Started watching Dresden files too, cos I found it cheep on DVD, it's pretty fun, not my favorite casting ever though. Really enjoyed Galactica: the Plan, not as enamoured of Caprica though. New Lost is like, lol. Also HOLY SHIT SOL STAR!
Atlanta continues to have fun geeky live shit: saw Jonathan Coulton's show last month and it was damn fun. I never saw so many lighter apps, and the whole fucking room sang the Portal song. Heeeeee.
