As it always is.

So as always, when I finally get to do something with the guild in Warcraft. it doesnt work. In the patch tuesday, they changed Onyxias pattern for her fight. And Wednesday night, was my first ever eOnyxia fight. So. Of Course. We died. And died again. And Again, and Again. Jeeez.

So we decided to make a trip through UBRS and at least get something accomplished for the night. Nothing caster-ish dropped. So I was left out for the most part really. I just went and played some KHII.

Which, by the way, I am loving. So far the story is great. The graphics are great. they changed the camera, which was everyones big complaint from the first game, and personally, I liked it better in the first game. They changed the stupid little gummi ship, and only having done it once, I can say its a HUGE improvement over the way it was.

Other than that stuff, nothing exciting. Next week is Romb Zombie, and I cant wait. The week after that is my Birthday, then my week off..:) I cant wait for that even more.

Frisbee golf yesterday wasnt to bad. I did alright, the grass wasnt to muddy, but WOW, they took out at least half the threes from the park. I think they had that emerald ash borer thats killing trees.

I got some pics from the Onyxia raid, i will post em tomorrow, just dont feel like it today.

Here we go again.

Here we go again. Well another day. At least its nice out. Seesm real nice, i might hit some frisbee golf today, gonna be muddy and watery, but thats all the more fun...:)

Kingdom hearts II. So far, so good. Good story. Great graphics. I just now, after 3 hours, really have hit the main part of the story. I have more problems with the camera as it is now, than the way it used to be. Oh well.

I love these Juliette Lewis albums. Pretty damn cool.

Total solar ecplise today. To bad you have to be in Africa to see it...:(

Hmmm...Oh, the Rob Zombie album, nice stuff. Sort of like the Hellbilly Delux album, but at the same time different. The only song, I am not really liking, and its growing on me anyways, is Foxy Foxy.

Onyxia tonight. I can't wait. I so wanna kill that damn big dragon. Prolly hit the middle eastern place for dinner.

Yesterday seemed to take forever. I dont know why.

Patch day, and so much more.

ts tuesday. patch day. Kingdom Hearts II day. i also believe, Rob Zombie new album day. Pick up my taxes and mail them day. feed the fish today. Lots of stuff day.

No patch notes. Not yet anyways.

VNV Nation. As they posted, will be here in the states sometime next year, but in a email i got from Roan, it looks like they might do another Dj set here this year. While not as cool as a full blown show, they are good DJ's and its cool to see em small, and get to talk with them.

Nothing super special to report. I dont work today, or tomorrow which is nice.

Still trying to push Snakes on A Plane. If you ask me what the movies about. i dont know what to tell you. The name pretty much says it all.

More later. Maybe some KHII impressions. Maybe not.

Morning.

Well. It's been awhile. Not much to write about really. Not much going on, just work, and the normal life stuff.

Cat falls 80 feet from tree. Link.

Gonna be hit movie. I swear. SoaP
Snakes on a Plane. C'Mon.

Closing in on Rob Zombie show. Can't wait. Soulfly is coming soon as well, I think I might head to that too.

WoW news. Got my first piece of tier 1 epic mage armour. Arcanist's gloves. FINALLY! Should be keyed for onyxia by the time the raid comes around this wednesday. i can't wait.




Screenie from MC the other night. One of the bosses. I only managed to die, like 3 times, which wasnt to bad, since last time I died ALL the time. MAN, I always get stuck with the shitty healer.





Almost done with The Elegant Universe. Learned quite a bit actually. More than I thought I would get my mind around. Hmmm, what else. Oh.

Kingdom Hearts II, comes out Tuesday. I can't wait. I will make sure to have some reviews.

Lots of good games out right now. Godfather. Obilivion. MLB 2K6 coming out April 10th. Just picked up Dawn of War again, loving the exspansion. Necrons, titans, chaos, world eaters. I mean what more can you ask for.

I think thats all for now.

Stranger Danger.

WOW! This almost made me, I dont know, cry, scream, something. MSNBC was showing a clip from a news special to run later about kids being nabbed by strangers. They would put this little girl on the sidewalk, and as people would walk by a man would come along and grab her by the arm, and start to drag her off. The girl would start to scream, help me, your not my daddy, and people would just continue to walk right around them. Some looked, some just quickly walked away.

I have seen specials like this before. Parents who get rough with thier kids in public and what not. Now, i dont know what I would do if I saw someone try to walk away with a kid, but I know I would at least yell, or say something. I have yelled at parents before in public for hitting thier kids.

On a happier side note. Rob Zombies - Educated Horses. Not to shabby. Very much like Hellbilly. I think it will be a good show.

On a WoW note. ran Upper Blackrock spire last night, with my mage, and Magisters robes dropped. it was between me, and one other mage. I rolled a 1, on my 1-100 roll. Needless to say, I lost...:( I did get a piece for my Aszhara quest done, and the next step in my Onyxia Keyline quest done, so that was a benefit to going.

Argh!

MLB 06 The Show. Going back to the store. Wow. The umpire calling while neat at first, is SOOOOOO inconsistent that it makes the game unenjoyable. I can understand the strike zone moving a little. Or certain umpires calling pitches in a certain area different ways. When its the same ump, and the same catcher, and pitcher, in the same spot, and your still getting different calls, its not any fun.

joey wants to leave. OH MY GOD, THANK GOODNESS!!! I dont know what else to say on that. Leave, please. Let everyone in detroit get on with thier lives, with no Joey controversy.

I dont know if its just MLB that made me angry, or just a mood swing. But, I am angry. At me, at life, at games, everything. Oh well, I am sure I will get over it.

Wow.

ok, so the demo of Okami. WOW! Its nice to see a game so beautiful, and well thought out. Even from the demo, and the little bits it lets me play there. I cannot wait for this game.

here are some links to screenies of the game. http://www.1up.com/do/media?cId=3134928

Just beasutiful. You play a wolf, or the physical representation of one of the gods. You have a little faerie that follows you around, and tells you things. Ala, Windwalker. The voice is pretty annoying, but if you just hit the skip button, so that it only blabs a few nonsense words, its not to bad. The environments, in the demo, are beautiful. its hard to believe really.

The intro movie for FF XII is circulating now, it has a mix of music from FFV and FFVII in it. Hopefully this will be a good one.

Got today off, that will be nice, to bad about the freezing weather out there. Tomorrow is pay day, thats nice as well.

Hmm Pi

Well, I was searching around for the ALTKey combo for Pi, but I cant seem to find it. Anyways, its Pi day. Also Einsteins birthday. So, Happy PI Day.

New Search engine, that seems to be WAY more sensible than any previously out there. Accoona.
http://accoona.com/
It uses a form of AI to complete it searches, using the meanings of words when comined, not just the words seperately.

I am going to search for the demo for Okami today, I really want to give it a look.

Battlestar was great last night. This is one of the only TV series, thats not something informative that I watch on TV. Well family guy, and futurama besides. The acting is great, the effects are great, and the story line is fantastic as well.

pat Robertson putting his foot in his mouth again. Claiming that followers of islam are lead by deminc forces, and they are out to conquer the world. Wow, that man needs to just shut his yapper.

Anyways, off to the store to find the mag with the demo..:)

Epic Horse pics

As promised the other day.

Tra la la.

Eh, another Sunday. The week went by kinda fast. A little to fast really.

Saw Walk The Line. Really good movie. The music, and singing were great, and it was well acted, and well written. Also saw, Goblet of Fire. Not as good as I expected really. I didnt like the book as much as the others, so I venture that might be why I didnt like the movie as much.

MLB 06 The Show. Everyday I play this, something new amazes me about it. There are some bugs that I have run across, but there is a lot of good here. I had a line shot on the ground down the first base line. The 1st baseman dives for the ball, stopping it, and from the ground tosses it to the pitcher whos running over to the bag. He catches it, in time time get the runner out. Close play. On the following play I chop a ball to the Shortstop, kinda slow on the hop, he catches the ball and throws it to 1st, catching the runner out. The runner then confronts the Umpire on first, and they get into a arguement which ends with my player being tossed from the game. For some reason, with a runner on third, 2 times, I have had a slow grounder to 2nd or 2rd, and if I run the guy home I can catch them throwing the ball home, and turn to run back to third. Instead of throwing the ball to 3rd they throw it to 2nd. THis happened twice. One time, the catcher actually chased my runner up the base line, and as he pulled away tossed the ball to 2nd. Not sure if this is a fielding bug based on my choice of difficulty, or if its a programming thing. Exploit sort of thing.

Picked up the Namco classics with Pac-man and what not the other day.

JUST missed out the other night on getting my first piece of Tier 2 armour from MC. At least it went to the mage I got to join the guild..:) Maybe next time. Leveling my hunter up now, though I am not sure what I want to do, thinking I might want to level a rogue as we are short rogues, and I see a crapload of raogue gear drop.

As Queen comes up on Winamp, I recall friday night as I watched the Queen with Paul Rodgers concert on Tv. WOW. T3h SuXX0r. I cant even think of anything more to say about it. It was that bad. I am so glad I didnt pay 80 bucks for tickets for that show here.

Busy day.

Got a busy day ahead of me. Bottles back to the store. Haircut, taxes to be done, and I want to stop and get some new jeans as well. Stop and get the new Potter from the vid store as well as Walk The Line. Dont know how I am going to fit it all in.

Oh well. i am sure I will manage.

On a cool note, The GF bought me my epic mount yesterday, for my mage. AWESOME stuff. Cool glowing undead horse. I will have pics tomorrow prolly as servers are down for Maint. this morning.

So, either way, it should be a good day.

Slow Week

Well, its pretty much just been a slow week. Nothing special goin on. reserved my copy of Kingdom Hearts II, bought a copy of MLB 06 'The Show'. I am really liking it so far. The batting is hard for me, at least right now. I need to get a hang of the fielding as well. The commentary seems really good so far too. I think its got some long playabtility.

WoW has been slow this week as well. I have barely played at all. Went through Dire Maul the other night to get the water for my mage, and thats about all I have done this week. No late runs, nothing, really. Maybe next week, I can hit part of Molten Core, since I dont close on Saturday.

I really have just been doing a lot of reading, and TV watching. Its a nice break from WoW. halfway through The Elegant Universe, and I am really enjoying the book. I watched Philidelphia yesterday, for the first time, and man it was a great movie. Tom Hanks is a fantastic actor. So is Denzel Washington. I still cant figure out why it is that if Antonia Banderas isnt the macho guy, whos always something strange.

Oh well. Nothing real special, I dont think.
Intereting Links, I guess.
Cosmic Varience
A blog of a physicist. Interesting stuff, esepcially on the new computer thats running, while not running.
Brokeback Mount Doom
Funny clips of LoTR clipped with the Brokeback music.

The Elegant Univese

Not so elegant it seems. To me anyways. I always had a problem with the partical wave theory of light. That it not only acts like a partical, but also acts like a wave. In school when they told me, I just didnt understand, and reading two chapters on it now. I just dont understand. My mind understands how it works, but not why. I always felt sort of dumb for this. BUT. reading on, i find that even physicists today dont understand WHY it acts like that. They just know it does. I guess its faith..:)

There was a quote from a physicist about Quantum Mechanics, that, if you dont get dizzy from thinking about it, then either it wasnt explained to you properly, or you didnt read it well enough. this book certainly does that to me at times. From what I had previously read about Quantum theory, it seemed to me so much more orderly than other physics. it seemed to make sense, but now, reading deeper into it. It doesnt make any sense at all. It seems to be randomness, and uncertainty. And I guess thats really what it is. Maybe after this, I will have to go back and finish the book on Omega to see if I get it...:)

Sadness

And Remorse.

I have always been a firm believer that you can't feel a emotion if you dont know it for real. Love, remorse, regret, things like that. You can say you feel love, or regret, but you arent always sure. People always say 'you know' when you are in love. Its true. You know when you really regret something as well.

Right now, I am so sad for all my friends I made in WoW, over a year ago. We were such a good group. We moved to another guild, when our started to fall, and were mislead into what we got there. And it ripped some of the friendships apart. Now, after all this time. Even the ones who are there are now having problems. I fell really responsible for it. I feel sadness for them, and mad at myself.

I am sure in the end, it will work out. But in the meantime its tough, and hurts.
