In the last 5 days I’ve slept in my own bed only once. I’m way, way looking forward to getting home tonight and crashing out in familiar environs. Really looking forward to seeing the Cheese-boy, too. Hope he chooses to not torture me for my prolonged absense.

Last weekend was Calistoga for the wedding of H&H. Lovely, lovely in every way. They’re just one of those couples that you could tell from the beginning. Great bed and breakfast up there added to the weekend. Tho the bed at the B&B was great, I still miss my own bed.

Today I’m writing from a hotel room in Marina Del Ray. Down in LA for a 2-day work thing. Most interesting part by far was the drinks with a bunch of Executive and Senior Producers last night. While my boss is pretty good at sharing details with me, it was really cool to get different perspectives from people making very different games than I’m making.

Home tonight. Looking forward to some quiet time this weekend regrouping and getting used to being at my place again.

Hey – be a dear and vote for my buddy Marcellas to go back into the Big Brother house:

You can vote for him every day until the 28th…

I gave away my hair clippers yesterday. For most people that would not be a very big deal, but it was a kind of milestone for me. Not that I couldn’t shave my head again if I wanted to, but it seems much less likely that I will do that again. Ah, those were the days.

Off to dinner club tonight. Should be something of an event. Basically we’re going to have a small restaurant all to ourselves and it’ll be like a super swanky catered affair.

Woke up to a little earthquake at 5:24 this morning. I guess it was down near Morgan Hill somewhere. The thing I notices was my super-cheap dresser shook a bit, so I figure in the big (or medium) one that I know is acomin’ my dresser might just take the worst of it.

and finally, I got around to weeding and planting the deck (with some help from the gf) and am ready to fire up the smoker soon. mmmm. smoke.
