Tonight was quite possible my last night of Thursday-night frisbee ever. Granted, it's not remotely the same group that we started out with, but that's beside the point. I'm enjoying Thursday nights more these days, and tonight especially was really fun. I am sorry I missed volleyball, though.

So, went to Value Village, and found me a beer mug. Holds a pint, has a glass bottom, steel handle and body. It's excellent. There's just something neat about drinking good, cold beer out of a cold steel mug. And I got it for $1.60. Beat that.

Ever notice how inspiration is hard to come by? It's an interesting thing, but it's true. I guess we wouldn't refer to ideas or decisions as "inspired" if they were common. I mean, if all I had to do was sit down and say, "I need something good to write about," and it came to me, that wouldn't be all that special, would it? We'd all be reading fantastic ideas left and right, but it wouldn't matter because we'd be having too many of our own good ideas. I think it's better the way it is. Let that sort of casual genius be the virtue of the chosen few, and let good ideas come to the rest of us like solitary, rare bolts of lightning. On the other hand, that's kinda like arguing that we should settle for mediocrity because it makes brilliance that much more impressive. Meh.

I'm going to start packaging some of my old computer science projects into self-extracting executables and posting links to them here on my blog. When I do, I'd appreciate it if some people would download them and try them out. It's experience that I'll probably need, so even if you can't get them to run, I'd like feedback. And I promise that, at least in some cases, they'll be cool.

That's it. Time to finish my beer, take a cold shower, and hit the sack.
