Fireworks and Thumbs

I kind of regret spending $80 on fireworks. I had fun, yes — but that much fun? Not quite. Maybe next year I’ll buy $80 of smokeless powder and blow a new crater in this little moon. (Firefly reference!)

And I burned my thumb on a mortar fuse. Those thing are tough to light, but once they do they spit sparks all over the place.

Fireworks!

Just bought almost eighty dollars worth of fireworks. I… have no self control.

WordPress is being weird. I upgraded it and now the javascript throughout most of the admin area is not working. Makes navigating a tad bit difficult. I re-uploaded everything, cleared my cache, etc. — but still no luck. I installing it locally on my computer, and it works fine, so it’s not a problem with wordpress itself. So yeah. No idea.

Well, about that list of survivalist-related stuff I was going to do… as of yet, my biggest accomplishment is replacing my shoelaces with class 3 paracord that can hold of to 550 pounds. I also have begun carrying a knife and LED headlamp in my backpack. I’ve been meaning to pick up some razor blades so I can try out the credit-card knife, but I haven’t yet. I tried making a padlock jimmying shim out of a popcan, an endeavor that failed miserably.

I applied for a job at Wal-Mart. My application was accepted, but who knows whether they’ll ever get back to me. I expect that in this economy there’s a lot of people looking for work.

I’ve started work on a game — an isometric action RPG with zombies and guns. It’s written in Python/PyGame. Oh, speaking of games, I still haven’t uploaded my breakout game yet. I did finish it (mostly) but I’ve just been so lazy… well, the shirt I’m wearing says it all: Genius By Birth, Slacker By Choice.
