elfsThursday, Omaha and I went out to Neelam's Indian Restaurant and then The Grind, where to our surprise we ran into ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kendaer and jenkitty, who had come from a steel drum concert that both of them labled as "lame." It was fun, watching Omaha dance, especially since she and JenKitty did some serious dirty dancing on the floor early on.
Eventually, though, Omaha and I went into the back room where we finally got to cuddle and make love, dammit, some. We were rushed-- we wanted to stay and dance more, take our time and fuck more, but we're responsible adults who have to get the babysitter home by midnight and ourselves in bed for work tomorrow. Ah, well.
Friday, I get the bad news that I'm expected in to work this weekend. We're in the last week before release to our beta sites and we want the machine to be perfect. Well, my stuff is. When I got home,fallenpegasus was there. Omaha cooked her patented chicken biscuit casserole-- amazing stuff that Kouryou-chan actually ate after I'd zapped it in the cuisinart to the consistency of her beloved lentil stew. Yamaarashi-chan ate only a little bit.
Apparently, Yamaarashi-chan had a blast at the YMCA. For a while there she couldn't stop talking about the rock-climbing wall they had and how much fun it was to climb. She mananged to smack herself and got one hell of a bruise while climbing, but it didn't seem to slow her down at all. One of the counselors did comment on her fantasy life that sometimes seems to exclude everything else, including common sense, but other than that she was great.
Watched the first two episodes of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, which is inconsistent with the comic series. It's not yet available in the states-- doncha' love the Internet? They've done a good job of incorporating computer coloration so that everything is nice and crisp without being overwhelmingly, obviously machined, but the auto chase scenes are entirely rendered and whoever's doing it hasn't figured out how to imply speed. The opening sequence with Kusanagi's Dream is lovely, though. And the opening song is in English, Japanese, and Russian. Most peculiar. We get more of the other characters, too, like Batou and Tosuga. Even Ishikawa is a "real" character. It's not the original, but for a TV series, it's not bad at all. The second story is actually quite deep.
Saturday, I head over to an acquaintance's house where I help her through the finer points of C++ design. She's having a headache with her project, and I'm afraid I don't feel like I helped very much. We just kinda hung around the house for a while until late in the afternoon, at which point we went out to shop for shoes and belts for the kids. Yamaarashi-chan's pants are always one size too big for her and she needs belts, but we can't really find anything in her size at the nearby stores.
We get home where the kids demand hot dogs. Okay, fine. Omaha and I have been providing good food for them all week. A hot dog isn't going to kill 'em. I carmelize some Walla-walla sweet onion beforehand and make serious chicken sausages with apples and basil for Omaha and I, and bake up some frenchfries. The kids eat theirs but decline the onions. Omaha puts ketchup on hers. [shudders]
I stay up after the kids are asleep and get caught up on all the shows TiVo has captured for me: Four episodes of Blue Gender, one Iron Chef, two more of GiTS:SAC.
Sunday, I rise and shower and cook waffles for the kids with my handy-dandy waffle iron. Yamaarashi-chan wants to know why girls don't shave their faces and boys don't shave their legs. She also manages to pack away three full-sized waffles while Omaha and I debate whether "sodium hexymetaphosphate" means that the sodium atoms are attached to a phosphate ring or vice-versa. We pull out Organic Chemistry and look it up. Man, we are so geeky.
And then I go to work, where one major bug awaits me. It's dead now. I'm going home.

Unfortunately, the sizes and ratios are sufficiently odd that i'm having a hard time burning them to SVCD... Anyone got any inspirations on getting the audio and video to sync up correctly?
