Went to Thorpe Park on Monday with a load of workmates. 'Twas awesome.

Also got nattering about workplace politics. It's always hilarious to suddenly find out that you're the centre of an argument between six other people that you knew nothing about...

I haven't been on in a while, but I finally left Wisconsin to take Columbus, OH by storm. And by that, I mean I'll be substitute teaching while looking for other gigs (I already found one where I will be babysitting a four-year-old two nights a week).

I like it here so far. Plenty of new stuff for me to do and I'm dating someone who is pretty awesome.

I work for OnLive. The online streaming gaming whatever-the-fuck company! That totally got burnt into a husk before its assets were purchased and it was reborn! (I cannot count how many "wait: OnLive still exists?" questions I've fielded at random parties whilst out-and-about over the last year.)

We finally - F-I-N-A-L-L-Y - got to release our cool new service to the world. Play your Steam games on whatever ratty-as-death underpowered hardware you have around! No need for multi-GB installations or "keeping up with the Joneses" with GPU horsepower or nothin'. All the servers and processing might is on our side of the cloud; if you have the bandwidth, you can play your Steam copy of Saints Row IV at some reasonably sweet resolution on your wheezing notebook or refurbished ancient HTC tablet or whatever. (I think there are only 21 or so titles where everything is cleared for takeoff at the moment. Blame lawyers and publishers for that roster not having many more titles available.) I'm really proud of what we've done. I just hope to keep help making what we do better and better.

Really, a lot of things are looking up for me. I have a super-chill roommate and a job I love and a sports car that is twelve kinds of awesome. I've been obliterating opposing teams to bits at bar trivia nights and was witty and timely enough with a quip to make my boss' boss spit his wine out at a social function. I'm just roundly crushing it on a lot of fronts. I'm pretty much "one five-minute make-out session with a smart fun pretty girl" from this being the best week I've had since... I dunno, 2007 or something.

I played my first solo DJ set live Saturday night.

Everyone seemed to like it, and I didn't trainwreck at all.

Despite doing worse than I expected on the recent quiz, I moved up from 3rd to 2nd in my Business Law class! He uses the relative system of grading too, so as long as I stay near the top, I should be getting an A no sweat! This is a course I had to drop out of last year due to doing so poorly, so this is DEFINITELY a turnaround I'm proud of

My lucky underwear strikes again!

Had my last tattoo session today, and it ended up being cheaper than expected...
Which meant I could afford a very rare bottle of whisky I've been eyeing up for a while. I was lucky to get it under 100 too, it is a private reserve.

In a few days I shall be a very content Englishman.

I broke my wireless mouse, but I found out that when browsing, 90% of the time you can just use tab, shift, and the various keyboard shortcuts. If you do need the cursor, then you can just enable MouseKeys. Well, who needs a mouse then?

I might be getting an internship this semester. It's unpaid and part-time, but it works for me as I'm still finishing my degree. Also, I could see it possibly leading to a job after I graduate.
