Long overdue update

exatronMy internet connection was hooked up Monday afternoon, just in time for Metroplex to flake out and eventually have its network card die. Unfortunately, my wireless router stopped routing, and Laserbeak doesn't do any better when hooked directly to the cable modem. They connect (I get an IP address and DNS server information), but can't seem to reach anything outside my home. Oh well, at least I have cable now.
Thanksgiving was the usual game of avoiding my grandmothers' nosy questions and hearing one complain about how people today "lack respect". The food was good, even if my mom put an odd twist on things by making less food than usual for no apparent reason. She has a big, new oven and made less food.
I picked up some of my accumulated mail (Including a summons for jury duty), and a few things I forgot when I moved, or just didn't have time to pack. My Lego (Useless fact: The plural of "Lego" is "Lego" still need to be collected, and my Gargolyes Season 1 DVD set is missing, but I think I have everything else I wanted to take.
Going through my old junk was an interesting experience. Some of the stuff felt like it was owned by another me.
*Edit* And I also found out that someone on Travian started farming my city shortly after I checked my account on Monday. How do they always manage to attack me when I can't retaliate?

Date: 2006-11-30 08:30 pm (UTC)Other than my grandmothers being pests, I enjoy the family gatherings at this time of year. It's one of my few chances to see my aunt, and I occasionally get to see my uncle, other aunt, and my cousins.
Especially since I'll have to go into the depths of downtown Detroit to serve if I can't get out of it. The last time I got jury duty was about four years ago, and was one of the few times I've become lost.
It makes more sense if you've played a real-time strategy game on a computer.
