I've been listening to loads of complex and heavy music lately; somehow it helps me concentrate. Converge, older Cave-In, Martyr AD, Lickgoldensky, Hot Cross, Darkest Hour, pg.99, Majority Rule, Dillinger, all the old standards. I'm working on some DHTML stuff that is challenging my skill and the browser support of all these esoteric javascript methods and objects that I've never seen before.

I started work on the courtyard yesterday afternoon, finishing the fountain installation. I think it will be pretty awesome back there once it is finished. Digging through the shed produced about 30 feet of string lights that worked perfectly, so I set them up around the overhand and the fountain. I'm kind of going for a Pat O'Brian's courtyard look, with that dark shiny slate...let's see if the budget and the patience make it that far.

Melissa gets back into town this afternoon. She will be seeing the apartment for the first time since moving day, so I am expecting a backlash of anti-Trey sentiment, despite the fact that I have already sunk a few grand into buying furniture, appliances, and generic household items. She will see that I left dishes in the sink this morning and she will freak out. She will see my computer desk in the "dining room" and she will freak out. I can feel it. However, I have a damn good excuse for that. See, I don't want to set up my computer desk in my office until I get my new computer in...it's a pretty fine looking machine, and I don't want it hiding behind a laundry hamper or nothin'.

By the way, Melissa posted something on her blog for the first time in a million years.
