two games beat in one day

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

well flOw and Resistance Fall of Man… beat them.. flOw.. well.. you can’t lose.. you will eventually win… and actually you can “win” really easily.. so it’s not the point.  Resistance was kinda easy really.  Whenever I was on my game it was children’s play.

So.. two in the bag.. ready to go.. we be fast.. and they be slow.

maybe bailing on VG?

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Aaron just bailed on VG.. so far no one else in there… I’ve just not felt like playing… so.. I might be done.  Astenyx Sether(en) might RIP at level 18.

The problem is that you can’t really play without a group and it’s not all that easy to find a group.  One is that is kinda hard and two there are either too damn many people around or not enough.  And you need a shit load of time to play… 2 hours isn’t enough.. you need like 5 minimum to accomplish a night’s worth of stuff.

I played flOw for 3 hours last night non stop and it was great.  Super simple game, but is was really engaging.  And GW wowed me more than VG when I first started.  VG has the same rank is Stormreach, SWG, and an EQ2 expansion… hmm… might be telling.

I have more fun playing Gothic2 and Resistance Fall of Man… so.. might just finish those up and then spend time in GW until another game comes along….. or…. might try WoW.. I know.. CRAZY!

beside you in time: today!

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

NIN’s Beside You In Time came out today.. it’s their 2006 tour all amazafied on bluray DVD.  Scott and Erin are coming over tonight to watch it for the first time with me in… HIGH DEF ULTRA REALISM :)

sleep is good

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

So I slept well last night and my urge to kill has gone away.  I talked with Dad and my brothers and I feel much better about the house.

Servers on Windows still bug the fuck outta me, but that’s never gonna change.

… but at least everything is coming together… I think I might be ok again .. woot.

this is my house

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I’m in charge around these parts now.  Dad’s out at his house and I’m the HMFIC here.  Matt is pretty well moved in and Kat’s staying the night for the first time tonight.  We still have a LOT of work to do, but I think Matt is gonna handle most of the rest of it and I’ll pick up when I get off work at nights.  Matt’s still gonna do a ton though really and I wouldn’t be able to do all this without him… he’s going to paint the walls and fix some stuff and hook up stuff and move more stuff… that’s all his super power… mine is … well.. kinda like the little kid in Heroes… making technology work by waving my hand over it.

I bought a new TV for the downstairs… 46″ LCD Grand WEGA from Sony.  Yes.. feeding the monster.  We’re Sony.. FUCK PANTS!  The room isn’t big enough for much more… and anyway I still have the 65″ upstairs, so it’s not like I’m hurting on the TV experience :)
This weekend has really made me need a freaking vacation though.  Terry even asked when I got one… and actually.. I’ve NEVER got a vacation since I started working at KC Micro.. which is when I started work… so.. ya.. never.  Sure I’ve taken long weekends, but never a week or more to do anything besides family stuff… i.e. people dying.  Watching LOST the other night… I’m thinking I need to take a trip like Jack did… go stay on the beach in some foreign exotic land for awhile and get my ass beat by locals after I sleep with a local chick for awhile and get a tattoo telling onlookers who I am… hehe.. maybe not all that.. maybe just the first part… get some perspective or something…

I feel OLD and I’m only 28.

me and my stomach

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Al found this for me… oh so true :)
Back when I was a kid I could never figure out why my stomach hurt, not realizing that it was the jalapeno cheese nachos I had the day before. My attention span just wasn’t developed enough to put those two things together. The peppers didn’t even figure into my thinking–I mean, geez, it was yesterday, that’s like forever ago, and as far as I knew the stomach ache was a brand new, completely separate development, a mysterious phenomenon that sprang spontaneously into being. It had the character of divine intervention, the pain taking on epic proportions, without beginning or end, and accordingly I’d get all moral about it. I thought I was being punished by some higher power for being bad. I’d be on the toilet doubled over in agony, apologizing to God for some unidentified transgression. I’d be there blubbering to myself, “Sorry, I won’t do it again. Whatever it was I’m so sorry…” Now, decades later, having blossomed into a mature and magnificent powerhouse of rationality, when I get stomach aches, I’m like Sherlock Holmes, man. I break the shit down. What did I eat? Was it those falafels? Was the meat bad? Am I allergic to meat? Did the waiter spit in my food? Was he a terrorist unleashing a biological attack on my person? I’m like those forensic fuckers on CSI. Very methodical. Very analytical. Shit, now when I have religious experiences I immediately retrace my steps, try to track down what series of events led me to this euphoric spiritual illumination. I investigate, gather information, and hypothesize, in a cool and detached manner. It was probably those blueberry waffles. They were heavenly.

lake to gay.. gay calling

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Maybe no lake this weekend.. it’s down to 3… the original (and I guess) only 3 that can really come.

Everyone had good reasons for not coming… well I can’t say that as I purposefully ejected some people.. but now.. we have 3… me, Adam and Andy… but it’s still awfully disappointing.  As the numbers shrank, so did the “all outness” I was doing… I had originally started at “completely all out” and now I’m down to “well.. I guess we’ll go if you guys still want to”

bday on ice 2007… woot….. or something.

maybe I’ll just drink all this apple pie myself… tonight… fuck that.. right now… that sounds like a super plan.

gah

- modem’s broken in stover
- Dad did my laundry after I fell asleep… didn’t ask him too… and he didn’t dry some of my stuff
- they dropped a dumpster at Dad’s before 9am
- gotta call a dude
- late to work
- Dad gets on me about whateverthefuck before I even get outta bed
- kirk bitches about the spam he’s getting and forwards me one saying “I got 45 of these today”… what.. the same subject?  no headers… and I ALWAYS ask for headers… I ask what he wants me to do about it “add it to that promail [sic] thing” .. wtf dude?  add WHAT?!  seriously!
- more gay ass satellite problems in Eldon

I’m in kill mode… hopefully every just leaves me the fuck alone.. or maybe I should just drive to stover… that might be good.

apple pie

Monday, February 19th, 2007

I made more apple pie today (my favorite alcohol drink) and I went 5 cups of Everclear on this on.  It’s a little zingy.. but if you put it on ice it’s ok… warm tastes incredibly alcoholic… cold is nice though.  I just had a glass of it and got a nice pre-buzz, so it’s ok.  I think somewhere between 1qt and the 5 cups is the sweet spot.  I’m still using Motts and Louisburg.

I’m still bringing it all to a boil and then adding the alcohol under as much cover as I can just after it’s done boiling… otherwise you aren’t going to get the supersaturation effect.  When you add grain alcohol to a boiling mixture… well… don’t put your face around it… cuz you might die :)  It blows all over the place and releases some seriously “toxic” fumes.

but I’m alive hehe… wow.. ya.. and a little buzzed… hehe
