So, yeah, I have no clue what this post's title is supposed to mean either.

In addition to the birthday party from last week, on Sunday we went to Bennigans to celebrate the actual birthday this time. I assume the party was held a week early because of some people going off to college.

Yeah, we had them do the birthday song thing. There is no other reason to have a birthday dinner at Bennigans.

After that, a bunch of us ended up going to Chris's house to play Super Smash Bros. Melee and 3rd Strike.

I also ended up finding out that my "indestructable" glasses were anything but, as they are now split quite evenly down the middle. Apparently, that piece had lost much of its flexibility over the past year, and it just snapped apart. I'm not too annoyed, considering if it happened now, then it would have eventually happened anyways. I don't do the stress-reliever thing with my glasses too often, but they do get bent up if I fall asleep and roll over them, which has been happening a lot lately...

If I get new glasses (which is likely, since the taped-up frame thing doesn't really suit me), I'll probably just opt for standard spring-hinges. The flex-titanium thing was fun, but not worth the price, especially if they lose their flexibility as quick as one year after purchase.

Anyways, after some unsuccessful attempts at a permanent solution (note - lead solder doesn't stick to titanium), most of the people left, leaving Chris, Ek, and myself to do random stuff. I ended up taking a nap until 2am or so, and staying up until nearly 5:30am when I decided I should head back home.

There's a surprising amount of traffic on I-395 and I-495 at 5:30am. I would have thought people wouldn't really start hitting the interstates until 6 or 6:30... though, I-270 wasn't too busy yet.

Other than that, there hasn't been much going on other than working, sleeping, timing/editing/un-WTF-ing on Spica, etc... I know I still need to finish the Otakon entries, which will probably be brief at this point since it's been so long since the convention already. But, have to sleep soon, so it won't be tonight either. =p

Oh yeah, and I restarted the automatic Blacklist update script. It actually was quite trivial to reactivate - just had to touch up the cron line a bit to make it work. I did adjust it so now it updates twice a week instead of once, since the spammers have been a fair bit more aggressive lately. Hopefully, that'll be enough to put an end to the problem now... it wasn't fun cleaning up the gigantic mess the last two attacks left, and thankfully, I didn't find the problem when I logged in this time. (I did see quite a few blocked attempts on the activity log, though...)
