team seamstress

i just finished sewing a hole in my pocket - i kept getting distracted by unimportant things, such as

• loading my gift card for the holidays,


• explaining to the guy i've been helping how to debug faulty code (and not doing it myself because i don't have an easy-to-use debugger installed),


• giving up attempting to install command and conquer from the original disc ("unable to load setup.mix" - what the hell is that?!),


• coming up with ideas for my potential dungeons and dragons game (and realizing that i may as well just write short stories [thanks moonflake for the inspiration] regarding all my characters and then wing it),

and accomplished all non-computer-related tasks on the patio :)

i think lunch is in order.

from penny arcade:
tekken 6, the comic
dragon age origins

from personal experience:
calvin's mistake
in a store with my parents, i turned around and hugged my mother's legs shouting "mommy!" [must've been about four or five years old] only to look up in horror when i heard their shock and laughter; it was someone else's mommy wearing the same jeans. i was mortified.
