balloons.
cadie and i ended our “vacation” on thursday and i went back to work. work is as boring as being at home. boo to that.
also, i didn’t realize that it was already the first week of october and that the balloon fiesta would be starting. this is awesome because the balloon fiesta is tits, but it also sucks because i work like.. a half mile from the balloon park. there are “NO PARKING” signs all the way up roy from 2nd st to the casino, but that’s not gonna stop people from parking and/or driving around to watch balloons. since i work nights, the mass ascention in the morning isn’t a big deal but the crowds that the balloon glows/special shapes rodeos draw are problematic. so i’m going to head into work early each night that there’s some late event so i dont have to spend an hour+ in my car trying to get to work (typically a 12 minute drive).

good stuff. got 40 minutes of runtime of my dual cpu fileserver on battery power before it shut itself down. nice to see this stuff working like it should be.
power (obviously) went out at 22:00 today. kind of shitty because i looked forward to playing some Starsiege: Tribes with Phil for a bit. He had only been online for an hour and the power cut out. At least the UPS for the home theater stuff was capable of running my XM Radio + boom box thing for 2 hours (Ron & Fez replay for the win!) before we decided to get the fuck out of here for a bit and drive around in air conditioning. It got pretty damned hot in here.
