this morning as far as having a good sleep is concerned. I think I got about 3 hours sleep. On top of that I have a full 6 hours ahead of me so I'm not going out anywhere after work today. I'll be lucky if I can stagger home ok from the bus at Clareview station. I'm almost thinking about going back to bed and coming in at noon, I've seen that happen before.
Last night the NJ Devil's beat out the New York Rangers in the NHL Playoffs. Now there are only 2 teams, NJ and LA. No hockey this weekend as the series resumes on Wednesday. This Spring, the Canucks were eliminated by LA in 4, the IHHF Juniors Team Canada had been eliminated, The Oil Kings are gone. There might be a Memorial Cup game this weekend but that might not be until Sunday. The NHL could wrap up by June 11th or when I go to Lodge if the LA Kings keep going the way they have been. I think the City of Edmonton is going to hold a rally for the Oil King's this weekend. The last celebration the Edmonton Oil Kings had was in 1965 and 1966.
After I get home I'm going right to bed until Anne calls and then I'm going to get up for the rest of the day. I've got a few projects to work on.
But this morning, I'm going to have my breakfast at Tim's and try to do the best job I can today under the circumstances. .

I was in good spirits on my morning commute into the office and the weather was pretty good as well,
all things considering, despite it being slow, it was a good day today.
Out of the gaming world, Diablo 3 was released yesterday. I imagine there was a line up of gamers to get the game. I played the first one but I didn't think much of it at the time. The game designer also did Warhammer 40K among others.
This is fairly common place in Europe but talking surveillance cameras are apparently coming to the US and Canada. Seems like there's an invasion of privacy issue going on around here.
The other day on the news they were talking about the Google wallet how smartphone users would be able to use their smartphones to pay for items at the retail level. Consumers are already used to electronic banking. I'd be a little worried about hackers getting into the system.
Wednesday before work I'm heading over to Audrey's to pick up my RJS book that's been there for over a month. I've got the cash for that and enough to last me until payday Friday. Anne got my insulin this afternoon and some needles.
On the job after 7pm I watched bits and pieces of the LA/Phoenix game #2 and LA is leading in the series 2-0. Phoenix is in real trouble here and the way LA is going they could sweep this series as well. It could all end Saturday night for Phoenix.
Yes, I knew it was coming: Disney is making an animated version of Tron. Yeesh. I loved the first 1, the 2nd one was pretty good but an animated version? Anyway, that's enough silliness for today.

This afternoon I finally got around to
finish reading Star Wars "Darktide 2." I really enjoyed this book but I had so much stuff going on I got distracted, which is why it took me so long to read this thing. Now I'm reading George RR martin's "A game of thorns." It's even longer then a Forgotten Realm's Omnibus book. This one closes out at 807 pages not including the appendix. I figure this book will take me until the end of the year to finish reading at the rate I've been going lately.
Since the family 2 doors over on the main floor moved in last month there's been nothing but screaming kids out there. Now I like kids but I also like quiet as well. I'll be glad for winter when the kids won't be out so much.
Bioware (here in Edmonton) has According to "The Attack of the show" released some details on its upcoming online "The old republic." to be released December 20th 2011 and the game will be on almost all platforms.
I was considering a trip this morning over to L&M to see about "Independence pro" by Yellow tools. I like the price but I'm going to wait until Friday to see if they have it still at the price on the website. if they do, then I'll pick it up after work. Anyway, that's about all for now.

Office just about noon or so
this afternoon for my first 8 hour of the week.
It's going to be a long week. The afternoon usually goes by in a hurry but the early evenings before break drags. By 8pm I'm played out and watching the clock.
Tonight's Coast show topic is on Forbidden Archeology. Should be worth listening to for a bit.
At Happy Harbour Version1 they are having a pre release party for "Magic the Gathering." it's a sealed booster pack tournament. I'm thinking about say picking up my program after work Saturday and then catching a #1 bus to HH and checking it out. More later.. .
