Another Copout Entry

Well, I thought I was going to post a bunch of stuff today but I didn't. I ended up working all day!

Today I was working on subtitles for Oscar award nominated short films. This was not exciting or creative work. What I spent the day doing was the information-age equivalent of coal mining: data entry.

But! I had a good day, I made money, and I'm happy to be gainfully employed. I'm not complaining, just trying to give you the flavor of my day.

Then we had game night when I got home! My friend Josh came and joined myself, Karen, Patrick, Paul, Carlee, Geoff, and Jess for some rounds of Fluxx, Mafia, contract bridge and Carcassonne.

I am finally learning contract bridge! After everyone left I still wanted to play so bad that I went a few rounds with Autobridge, which was fun and instructive. I'm very excited about playing more in the future. It's tricky to get it going for the first time, because there are so many concepts that are new to me, but now that I've gotten through the basic introduction, I'm beginning to learn and understand all of the advanced material that I've been given by my grandmother. Who, coincidentally, voted for Obama today in Illinois!

Anyway, I don't have much else to say right now. I'm trying to find some places to play contract bridge online but MSN's contract bridge is down for February and other places that require a software download also require windows, so now I'm looking in to java stuff...

I've got work in the morning tomorrow but after that I'm free so I should be posting fun stuff for real later in the day tomorrow.

Thanks for listening!
