Some People Call Me a Space Cowboy…

(yeah) Some call me the gangster of love…

I have no idea why I wrote that. It was just kind of running through my head.

I don’t think I should go up to Greeley on weeknights anymore. I’ve been a zombie pretty much all day. I went up to watch the Kings-Avalanche game (the Avs lost in overtime, BTW) with Tyler, Kandi, and Jennie, and we stayed up till 3:00am watching The Princess Bride. Then I had to get up and drive back down to Denver at 8:00 this morning. So by the time I got home and showered before I went to work and then took an hour for lunch, I’ve only been in the office about 4.5 hours now, and I’m ready to go home! But I’ve been terrible about putting in a full 8 hours lately, so I don’t think I should bail early. I’ve really gotta get back into a decent routine of going to bed at a semi-normal hour and going in to work in the morning.

Never Try to Outdrink a Sikh!

Boy, do I need to learn not to let big Sikhs talk me into drinking too much! We had a lunchtime party to celebrate our 1.5 release yesterday. We went to Rio Grande in LoDo, where they make some fantastic margaritas. I didn’t have any breakfast, so I already should have exercised more caution. I kept falling behind in my margarita-drinking, so I kept having to drain the last half in one gulp. I had three big margaritas there at the Rio Grande, and then when they kicked us out to clean up before the dinner crowd, we decided to go over to Old Chicago for more drinks.

A Girlfriend? Really?

So I’m sitting here, watching the first game of the playoffs for the Avalanche, and they’re tied 4-4 with the Vancouver Canucks. I can’t even believe they’re having this much trouble - it’s insane! Hopefully they’ll pull it together in the next few minutes, here.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with choir rehearsals and work. We finally certified our version 1.5 release last Wednesday, so the pressure’s off a little for the next few weeks. I had been staying until 10:00 nearly every night trying to get it finished. They’ve been pretty good to us, though - they had a party for us last Friday, gave us Monday off, and we’re supposed to have another, more formal, party some time next week. We also didn’t have to come in Wednesday because of a snowstorm, so life’s been pretty easy to make up for the previously hectic schedule. I certainly can’t ever complain that I work for a company that doesn’t appreciate me.
