The past 3 days will be remembered as Late Night Weekend.
Edgar Allen Poe mood
Once upon a midnight dreary (
I think it was last thursday), while I pondered, weak and weary (
well, I wasn't actually pondering,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping (
tapping?? my cellphone rang.. does that count?),
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door (
No, still my cellphone ringing).
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door (
stop ringing! Damnit!);
Only this, and nothing more." (
actually, I was muttering aboot the party I was going to)
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, (
Still November here)
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. (
Don't you scare me with this ghost shit!)
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of surrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore (
oki, let's for arguments sake assume her name is Lenore.. which is isn't but let's just assume).
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore,(
Well, I don't call her Lenore... which isn't even her name... go figure)
Nameless here forevermore.
Anyway, I went to a party on thursday, got there around midnight-ish, got some free goodies, had a few cokes and partied til nearly 4.30 AM. Got home at 5 AM (which is pretty normal since I was sober enough) and slept til 1 PM. Met up a friend around 3 PM and headed to a birthday party with a sixpack of local brewski, had a few drinks and headed home around 9-ish with a pretty high alcohol level in my bloodstream. Saturday, I got up around 11, not feeling to well but I managed to get thru the day. Just when I was aboot to get some sleep (around 10 PM), a friend called, asking for a favour. I grabbed my laptop and the minimum number of ORA books and headed over there. I ended up spending a few hours writing a client/server app for a proprietary protocol running on a server we didn't have access to
:( I somehow managed to write a fake server out of the (far from perfect) specs we had. Halfway thru final testing, someone mentioned they had C# code for that server. After I finished my code, the REXX code (which wouldn't work), was fixed and ran smoothly.
AAAARGH! All things considered, I had a fun late night hacking session with some friends.
People are still reading my mind : my life as a
