Scratchy throat and rainy weather
There is something about the dreary weather that just brings the whole world down. Perhaps its not the whole world. It could just be that I'm seeing the world through blue glasses.
To top it all off, i have this scratchy throat thing. I bet I am coming down with a cold.
Oh, well. There are still some very nice things to look forward to this week.

de-trashing LaTour
The great purge continues!
This morning SB and I went around LaTour finding every bit of old trash laying around and bagging it up. It did not take long to FILL the van with bags of trash. There must have been a dozen bags of trash. Some of it was fresh trash, others of it where form who knows how long ago.
But it is all out. LaTour is a little bit cleaner now.

5 mile route
I have do it! I found a running route around Dover that is exactly 5 miles long. Check it out:
I ran it for the first time last night. I did not push myself vary hard, so I finished it in 47:55. Not exactly a land speed recored. But a good base line.

Just a generally bad day
Just a day when I could not get anything done. Spinning my wheels with problems that I just can't find the time to solve. These days are the worst. I depend so much on being successful in my job to give some day-to-day validation. When that is not there, I start questioning why I put so much energy into a job that gives me no rewards.
Not even going out for ice cream helps.

Why no blogs?
Over the last two months the frequency with which I have been writing blog entries has fallen off dramatically. The reason is my life has become absurdly busy with stuff I cannot write about. This is mostly secret activity at Medaverse, and social drama I would rather not let the worked know about.
So here are a few light items that I can talk about.
- I will be moving out of LaTour this summer. The landlord wants to raise the rent to $1550 per month. When I read that, I nearly laughed myself off the chair. Then I realized it was not a absurd joke and the landlord must be crazy. So its time to go apartment hunting. The current market is bad for home owners, bit great for renting. We are going to find a great new place.
- I have taken up running. A lot of running. I keep pushing my self to go further and further every other night. So far I am up to 4.4 miles per night. Not bad for the fat kid.
Thats it for now. I will make sure to find more time to write. Right now my legs hur and I'm going to get some sleep.

Aloha Zakk's Tiki Bar!
I know that I said that I stopped drinking, but I had a really bad day. Last week Cap and I had the China Palace's Tiki Bar recommended to us. After a long day, what better way to unwind then with friends over piles of chicken lo mein,teriyaki beef, and exotic tiki drinks.
I liked just about everything about the place. The food is good, the drinks are strong, and the atmosphere is chill.

Emo Cap Pictuures
Cap had this great vision for some photographs of himself he wanted to take. Before work today the light outside was just right for what he wanted. So we took the camera and snapped a few photos around the mill. Here are a few of the early results:
I love how these express so much loneliness and angst. Ironically, we had a blast making them.

Forget 2 miles
3 miles at a nice easy pace. It a good way to get rid of that stress that accumulates.

Spring time energy!
The spring is here and it is having a profound effect on me. My energy levels are through the roof.
Just yesterday, I randomly decided to take a 2 mile run.

Video Games rock stars.
Apparently Medaverse is a new breed of video game rock star developers.
A business magazine saw some of SB's interview to another magazine. Now they want to write about hour little upstart video game up-start in the back woods of NH.
So today a photographer came by the office and was taking pictures of the founding dev staff (the four of us).
It was so cool. I felt like one of those indy rock bands that the industry is just starting to take notice of. But instead of rock lyrics, I lay down code. Just as bad @$$, just not as easily perceived.
