Yates.

Yea, they rejected Andrea yates not guilty plea. At least they were smart. I cant believe that suddenly they thought maybe they could get her out. Look. You killed your kids. You drowned them. You knew what you were doing. You called the cops and your husband as soon as you had done it.

Stupid.

No WoW, this morning. Its Tuesday..:) Got Mindtap Talisman the other night from Dire Maul. It goes along well, with the rest of my regen gear.

On a side note. The red betta is back in the 10 gallon, and the blue is now in the small 1 gallon to try and get his fins healed. nothing majorly new, I suppose. Happy Fat Tuesday. I just cant wait for my packzis'. Mmmm.

I am thinking about getting this ring they sell in Australia, thats supposed to stop snoring. I guess it work on the accupuncture points in your finger. its only 40 bux, so I mean, if it works, YEA, and if not. it was only 40 bux..:)

Molten Core (Now with MORE pictures)




Here we go again.

Lets see. Don Knotss died today. I dont remember Andy griffith show that much, but I remember watching Three's Company all the time at my grandmothers, with her and my mom.

The father from A Christmas Story also died today.

The fish all seem to be doing much better after 'The Fight'. Healing nicely.

So Friday night, I closed at work. Didnt get home till almost 1am. Kinda sucky, figured I would come home, watch some TV, maybe play some Winning 11. Nope. I got a invite to Molten Core. WHICH, i was supposed to have done the week before but didnt get hom till to late last week at 11:30 PM. Wow they must have been running late. Heres some screenies from the effort though.

well, apparently there wont be any pics yet as photobucket is being wierd. So maybe soon. nothing special really.

Saturday, February 25, 2006

yea.

Managed to get home from work last night about 1 AM. Man, that sucked. It was pretty busy for dinner, and then ended up staying busy the rest of the night. At 11:30, we had about 6 tables come in, and we close at 12. So, we didnt finish being done till about 12:35. Not to bad really, but man, I wanted to go home.

I walked in and The GF said they had room for me in Molten Core, so instead of showering, I logged in, and headed to Molten Core. WAY easier than I expected it to be for a new person like me. Didnt get any loot or anything, but I had a good time. We got to Domo, and wiped 2 times. once because apparently one of the tanks, who was playing from work, was AFK. And the 2nd time becuase someone walked to close to the Mobs before we were ready and aggroed them all. Then people had to start leaving, for sleep reasons. Oh well. next time maybe. I dont have the fire resist yet to fight Ragnaros, but soon.

We watched 'Waiting', Thursday night. Hehe, way funnier than I thought it would be. Good movie. Funny glimpse into restaurant work. Overboard, but still true in so many ways.

I have a couple pics from MC, I will get them up tomorrow.

Downloading.

grabbing the demo for Star Wars: Empire at War. The commercials made it look good, but, I havent seen any reviews for it. Thought I would check it out. My other gaming option would be to pick up Dawn of War, and its Exspansion, for 10 bux less than SW would cost me.


Checking my blue crowntail, it looks like he is aleady starting to heal up, so that makes me happy, hopefully within the week the red will look good enough to go back to his big home.

Lagfest 2006

So I RUSH home form work last night. Hoping to see some of the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj on my WoW Server (whisperwind). I log in, and there are just bodies everywhere. Apparently they werent waiting till 5 PM to do it. They opened em before that, so when I logged in, everything was pretty much done. Except for the huge MOBs wandering around. MAN, was it laggy too. Normally I have a REAL nice connection. Last night. NO WAY! I did manage to grap a couple screen caps.














So there they are. Nothing special really. But they were big. I can't wait to get inside the new instance. get some good loot.

On a completely different note. So I was sitting here yesterday at the computer, and I glance over at the 10 gallon split tank, and think wow, those fish look real close to each other. Then both my bettas swim to the farm left of the tank, ON THE SAME SIDE. So i go running to the kitchen, and get the small net, take the lid off, and manage to fish the red betta out and back to his side. The damage has been done though. He got pretty beaten up on that side, so I had to take him out, and put him in a 1 gallon all by himself. I put the new crowntail in there though, and removed a bunch of water. I had heard that bettas were jumpers, now I have seen it first hand. Lets just hope the red gets better now.

Apparently there is a new Guns N Roses album coming out. Should be interesting to see what he does with it.

The Big, Not So Easy.

Ok, Wow. I had to do my first 10 gallon full change in my aquarium, and man it was a task. I am glad I wont have to do that often. had to get both fish out. Then all the plants and rocks. Then half the water, so that I could move it. Then, the gravel. Then add the undergravel filter in. Then put the gravel back in, then half the water. Then move it. Then the rest of the water, then the plants, and rocks, then the fish. PHEW! I hope I dont have to do that again, anytime soon. The fish who was stuck on the side with the powerful filter blowing him around seems much happier already though. So hopefully his fins will get better, like the reds did when I moved him into the big tank.

Work sucks. I was thinking today, that if the guy we are missing IS in jail we would hear today from him, BUT, its a holiday. So he wont be able to call. Should be interesting to see if he does come back. I need to get ahold of my dad and see if he knows anyting about this guy. BUSY BUSY and MORE BUSY, last weekend. Today should be more of the same.

I need to get some serious WoW in, I barely played at all last week. :) Anyways. Nothing majorly new really though at all.

Sunday, sunday....


Well, its sunday morning. Again. :) Amazing how it manages to show up every week. Oh well.

So. Got a new digital camera. retty nice, paid 229 for it. Got a new crowntail. hadn't planned on picking anything up at the pet store the other day, but he was so nice, i couldnt pass him up.

Well, the cook at work he tends to show up either drunk, hungover, or like he's been drinking all day, was no call, no show, Thursday. Friday, and Saturday. I have no real belief that he's going to call or show today. He either quit, or is in jail. If he's in jail, we won't hear anyting till Monday. Looks like I am pretty much the sole sautee cook now.

Azuregos again the other day. Again, nothing for casters. Stupid Dragon. I figure eventually he will have something worthwhile for me to show up there.

Either way. Nothing special going on really. I made a alliance Night Elf warrior, and The GF made a Druid, so I am thinking that maybe we should start our own guild. I dont know though really, as I dont want to be in charge of anyting. I have had that experience before, and it wasn't all that exciting.

Oh well. I need to get the water changed in the one gallon that I put the new betta in, and I want to do some dishes. I just finished reading Condemnation. Book III in the War of The Spider Queen Trilogy. It was very well written, and fast paced. It really made me want to see what was going to happen next. The fights were well thought out. MAN, did it not end the way I expected though. I can't wait to get ahold of the next book.

Now I am going to start reading. The Elegant Universe. A sort of 'beginners' book on String Theory and M-Theory and things like that.

Tuesday Maint. day.

Damn. Forgot, somehow, that today was Tuesday. I was hoping to get some time in with my rogue before work. Oh well. On the bright side, last night, Vines invited Nicole and I to join the guild in Undead Strat. After waiting for sometime, outside the gate, and watching them wipe in the process of coming to us, they FINALLY got there. My mage set legs and belt dropped last night. VERY NICE. With my gloves that gives me the first set bonus.

So the other day. It came at the right time, and it was fantastic for me in more ways than one.

Happy Valentines day. To whomever, I supose.

Haven't got to see much of the Olymipcs, really. Wish I could see more. I have the next two days off and that is going to be soooooo nice. I have been doing WAY more reading lately, and its been nice as well.

Oh well, nothing else really.

Sunday, February 12, 2006

Well, its been a week again.

So. It's Sunday. Again. Wow. I think I really need some time off or something. Something is wrong with me lately. I get angry very easily. I am unhappy a lot as well. Maybe its just the way things have been going lately. I am going to talk to The GF today, and see maybe if we can work some things out. We both will be home from work early enough to sit and talk.

Now for something completely different. The Olympics. What can I say, really no US coverage again. Unless it happens to be a even with someone they think is going to do well. Bode Miller, who? Oh yea, he only got 5th place. Michelle Quan. Hmm? Oh yea, had to step down. Wow, I dont know who I feel worse for, the girl she replaced who though she was going to miss the opportunity of a life time. Or Michelle herself, for displacing someone claiming she could do it, then having to admit in front of the world, that she could not. Canadian womens hockey. WOW! I thought if anyting the russian ladies would be able to put a stop to em. Nope.

Hit level 60 in WoW. Now I just got to work on the high end quests to get my keys and such so that I can go on the big stuff, with the big kids..:) been raiding Upper Blackrock Spire, almost every night to try and get my Tier 1 epic mages robes. The night that I am tired and dont go. They drop. The other raids. All fricking warrior gear. Bah!

Valentines day coming up, and to boot, The Gf works Tuesday with me. Then Wednesday and Thursday which I have off, so we cant even go to dinner or anyting. Maybe late wednesday or something.

Really need to get a under gravel filter for the fish tank. My crowntail is sitting against the plat in the corner so much, i think he's hurting his fins. Meanwhile the red veil tail on the other side is GROWING, like you wouldnt believe. His fins, which looked sort of shredded for the time I have had him, now look as if they are growing new fin.

Picked up. The Elegant Universe. Its a book that gives some of the basic principles of String Theory and M-Theory. As always new science and physics always interests me.

*Updated with a picture of me hitting 60*

Nothing

Nothing much really, today. I have to work in a couple hours. Its cold out. I am kinda depressed. On the bright side, I have tomorrow and the next off. I should hit 60 in WoW, with my mage tonight.

Other than that, I got nothing.

Wire tapping.

Ok. Really until this goes to a court, and before a judge, we wont really get to know whats going on. But I really dont agree with the government, just taking from me. Ask. People are willing to give, when asked. Not only is taking the way they did it against the law, but, they could have asked. They didnt go get the warrants AFTER they tapped, which they can do. They dont need it before hand. Whats so hard about going before a judge to get a warrant after the fact, IF, you had just cause? Nothing in my opinion.

Now, they are saying out of 1000's. Not 1000, but, multiple 1000's of taps done a year. Less than 10 were people who had triggered a word. That leads me to believe that whats goin on isnt right either. Yes. People have said they dont mind. Thats how things start though. You take a little and a little, and no one notices. Until, suddenly, you really dont have anyting left to give.

Also, if the government doesnt need to be checked in this. Whats to stop them from just saying that you did something? It never stopped other governments. Chinese. Russian. Nazi's. Someones word, or the governments word was enough to take you away. I really hope we can get this under control before it gets out of hand even more.

dreaming.

So, i was at a baseball game wth my brother, or someone. Sitting there watching the game, and we got up from our seat, to move around and try some other seats.

We moved down closer to the field, and I sat on one side of the row, and the person I was with moved to the otherside. Suddenly, one of my ex girlfriends was there. Touching me. She did this wierd straddle to get over into the seat next to me. She was wearing a skirt, and it flipped up a bit as she did so. It then dawned on me, that it wasnt my brother I was here with, but my GF, and I was trying to get my ex to stop, a minute so that I could explain. But then we were in a bed together, and across the room, my gf was in another bed. i got out of bed, triein to get my ex off me, and as I stood, she got up and clung onto me, and I tried to hurry out of hte room ebfore my GF saw, but she was watching. ANGRY. So i went into the living room turned the TV and my EX disappeared into another room, and I went to head back into the bedroom to talk to my GF about what happened, but she had gotten up, and locked herself in the bathroom.

I woke before anyting else happened. And I feel bad. I feel bad for a dream. I dont know why.

its the same old.....same old situation.....

Enough Poison. But it is really the same old situation. Just when I think I am all good to go, more bills pop up that are late. its a good thing I got paid, but now I got to go and pay DTE. Oh well. That's life.

I think I am going to stop and pick up The Corpse Bride. I really wanted to see it. Course, I dont know if its worth buying, maybe I should give it a rent first? Though I love Tim Burton stuff.

Ok, they release Andrea Yates today. For a re trial. becuase they feel the jury didnt take into account her insanity plea. COME ON! The women drowned her own kids, then called her husband, or the police, I cant remember, and told them she did it.

Am I glad I am not a miner in Virginia. WOW, are they having all kinds of problems.

Girl at work and one of her friends have rented a apartment for a month, in France. 690, or something like that. WAY cheaper though, than staying in a hotel for a month, thats for sure. Furnished and everything, AND kitchen and what not. Pretty cool idea. Sounds like a great idea really. Something I might consider in the future as well.

Almost done with The Order of the Pheonix book. I just cant seem to put down the Haryy Potter novels when I start reading one.

Oh well. Its my day off, so I am going to try and enjoy it. Be well.
