5:05 am	So... Don't feel like going over everything that's happened in a whole lot of detail, here's the gist of it. My father's father and my mother's mother have both passed away within the past few months. I've made more new friends and watched some leave the Commune, but that's a fairly common occurrence. I bought tons of games, a new TV, and PS3 to match. I recently came back from Seattle, with a special little book that has way too much details on special positions two people who care for each other can get into (you're welcome, Katie). There's a drunk girl passed out in my house and we have no idea who that is. I made it to the Mentor position and should be starting that soon. I'm about to start a Pathfinder campaign. Dissidia rocks my socks, just as much as Demon's Souls did. I've fallen in and out of crushdom way too many times to count. And that's about that. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:11 am	Such a blur... I'd chat more, but due to forgetting my laptop battery in Tulsa, it'll be quick and dirty, heh... Reason I've been down and mopey these past few days is due to my grandmother passing away...she was in and out of a coma, from what I recollect, but there's some real reasons it hurts as  much, if not more so, than my grandfather passing away a few weeks ago. I almost never see or have any actual contact with Mom's side of the family (it was her mother, Granny, who passed), whereas I keep up weekly contacts with Da's side of the family (his father, Granddad, passed a few weeks ago).  An overwhelming surge of guilt has been smacking me in the back of the head these past few days, because the last time I had seen Granny or even chatted with her was years upon years ago...I'm not even sure if she's seen any pictures of me since high school, and that was forever ago...it just hurts that I never really seemed to show any care for Mom's side of the family, and it's not that I don't care, but I just always feel so...distant, I guess, and I always end up burning time here with friends and drama in Normanville to give any more time than I already have to other things (which, I know, is what everyone keeps telling me is something I should just cut out...but that's another rant for another time). I went to the casino my first time ever this past weekend.  It distracted me from other depressing thoughts, and also made me realize that I'm glad I wasn't the one driving, because I have a gambling problem and I would have stayed for much longer to try to recoup my losses until I was dead broke.   Laptop dying, so much left to say, just like I do/did with Granny...Da's taken the religious/afterlife turn for the situation, and while I think there might be something happening there, I'm not going to pretend to be optimistic about my chances of ending up with everyone else, if such a place exists...this is all we got as far as I know now, and when someone's gone, it's not just a phase, not going to 'hook up' with them later... They're gone. And this is why I should not stay up all night alone thinking blarghsome thoughts, I need sleep...after getting J-boy from the airport. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:22 pm	This weekend... Home was interesting.  Got to hang out with Debbie and her gaggle of doggies, a couple of potential pugkillers.  I lost my crankometer in either Vintage Stock or Wizard's Asylum (was a great time though, picked up a new Serenity RPG expansion book and D&D 4th ed Manual of the Planes, on top of the dozen or so free comic books for Free Comic Book Day, yay), but had a good meeting with family regarding my grandfather's passing.  While at the meeting, I wasn't hungry, just more than a little distressed, but not outwardly so.  It didn't hit until I got on the road about halfway back to Normanville, in the middle of an irksome rain storm and had to pull over...not the funnest trip to and from Tulsa.  Especially since it was just me and my thoughts all the way there and back.  Had some...interesting conversations this weekend, a bit gross regarding some bloody scenes that were described a bit too well for my hyperactive imagination.  Got a bit into some interesting card games, watching some Dr Horrible, and preparing for the rest of the week.  Going to try to do a hat trick with parties this week.  Tomorrow begins with Kilby's b-day party, continuing into other events.  Sigh at House, and the ending...sigh...but I'm definitely looking forward to next week's season finale.  And I'm seriously pumped regarding Fringe, especially since they're having a second season of it...I just wonder how that's going to end this season.  Not to mention 24, whew. Well, it's time to get back in the zone, help out some peeps, be a friend, good ole pal.  I do think that the Commune/Plantation has shrunk down a bit, which might be a bit of a good thing, considering how crazy and jampacked it used to be.  Maybe I'm feeling ready to settle down...but not until next weekend, hehe.

9:26 pm	And now everything comes full circle I feel like I'm back at the beginning again, like I saw a few months back, almost as if nothing's changed.  Some people have come and gone, but still...I feel like Leonard at the end/beginning of Memento...so where was I? These past few months have been a whirlwind of activity, involving family, friends, work, relationships, yadda yadda.  I've just now realized how badly sleep deprivation can mess you up.  Pretty much since middle school, living on 4 or so hours of sleep a night was just fine.  And I'm not sure how noticable it's been, but I slur words, alot.  Almost like I'm drunk, except it's lack of sleep.  And I can't remember things nearly as well as I used to during the college years.  I doubt my memory alot, wondering if what I remember is from what I really experienced or something my imagination cooked up to mess with me.  And I also stumble quite a bit, again like a drunkee. Speaking of drunkee, ran into Gene and a number of other old time peeps at the Norman Music Festival.  Between that and the Festival of the Arts in OKC, I'm almost proud to say I live in Norman...but not quite.  The music festival reminded me a bit of this time in Seattle when there was an arts festival along the streets, everyone was out and about and having fun displaying their work, which so neatl ties into the Festival of the Arts I went to this past week with so many fun people.  I'm sure I made an ace out of myself twice, once on Thursday when Katie Prime was piggy backing me along the bridge, and again Sunday when Mark, Yozzo, and Jacku picked me up and carried me to the pug art...sigh on that. Got to see alot of old school friends at both functions, it was really enoyable.  And also went to T-town with Lacey, Jacku, and Lacey's Otherlands friend Els, got to show her some of the kind of neat things Oklahoma has to offer.  Also met up with Debbie, catching up was fun and the like.  Been getting quite a few new additions to the Commune, it always seems to grow and shrink depending on the time of year and how old the peeps are.  I always think that the growing will stop, there won't be any more new people, but then there are, and that's pleasantly surprising.  And a couple of newish ideas are starting to come to fruition, and some old ones getting picked back up, such as meleeing with foam swords, turning off TV/games to do some creativeness, poker, and perhaps board game tournaments...?  Yes, we are nerd, hear us roll (dice). I've started handling vehicle damages (up to a certain point) at work, and working on special projects.  Sometimes I just feel that I'm constantly playing catch up, some days I'm wondering what else I can do to fill up 4 hours of the day...I just wish it were steady, constant even flow, but that's laughable, in that it's never ever gonna happen.  Oh silly Bueller, claims never get steady. I'm fairly certain that at this stage in my life, until I get all settled down and stable myself, I think I'm going to be a drifter, in the sense of relationships.  I've determined that unless someone has an active a social life as me (or more so), or no social life, things just won't really work out.  I'm usually committed several nights a week to activities with peeps, and I'm too stubborn (or sacrificing, some might say) to give up spending time with friends.  I wish I got paid to be a social butterfly, then I'd maybe start relaxing and finally write all the crap stuck in my head. My grandfather on Da's side passed away, and my grandmother on Mom's side is ill.  I've never liked dealing with family issues, I just get so stressed over it, even more so than with work issues, but I definitely feel some guilt, not keeping in as close contact with family as alot of other people I know.  I pretty much felt detached from anyone not immediately related to me (except Robbie, who I try to make it a point to keep in touch), usually because I had too much going on in my own life without adding (or in my case, multiplying) those issues. Eh, this was so ranty, which in turn reminds me of a rant I wrote back in the Xepher daze about Dreams, and in watching the latest episode of Fringe where Emo-man (I'm not going to bother looking up the name now) connects to Dunham through her dreams, and she lives out what he goes through.  I always kind of thought dreams were just kind of a gateway into another reality, but... I'm not sure what the point of all this was.  I'm standing still but the world's twirling, and I got distracted with Phantasy Star.  Shame Jacku's allergic to it, I'm going to have to play it while he's at work or asleep.  In the beginning, I had some witty way of writing in 'So...where was I?' at the end, but I've forgotten it.  But maybe that's the point...?

10:23 am	The geek in me is sad... Just read about Dave Arneson, one of the co-creators of D&D, passed away last week, apparently fighting cancer.  First Gary, now Dave...not that I knew them personally, but their game DEFINITELY had a pretty big impact on my life and how I lived it...sigh.  Makes me kind of sad how 4th edition butchered alot of what made previous editions fun (again, that's why I try to consider 4th edition a separate entity rather than compare/contrast, it just makes me irked if I do that). http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/cocreator-dungeons-dragons-dies-61-ap (Comment on this)

9:24 pm	Crazy week I don't know what to do next.  I'm needing something as an upper because I've been feeling tired lately.  I do have lots of new books and movies and games to entertain me if needed, thanks to a bonus at work.  I've been dreaming some Chronicles of Riddick lately, thanks to me playing a bit of that lately, as well as D&D dreams because I bought a couple more 4th ed books.  I dreamt of a world where Paragon tier characters were being taken down by swarms of sick children because the DM (Jakers) was being evil and made them to a separate disease check for each child...blarghsome. This is mainly a half rant while I debate what to do besides sleep.  Napping isn't the best idea right now. Looking forward to Els coming into town tomorrow.  I'll probably go to the airport to say heya at least, dunno who I can drag with, or if I want to drag anyone.  I feel somewhat bad kind of making everyone do her assignment, it seems that people had mixed ideas about what the thing was supposed to mean, which might have been the point...but I really appreciated everyone's help.

9:20 am	Medieval Fair and randomness It was good this year, unfortunately I missed out on getting some melee weaponry...maybe I'll go the online route to do some ordering.  Pictures at Photobucket, linking here: http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/dcbueller/Medieval%20Fair%202009/ That has all the pictures, not just the few I bothered posting up because I hate Myspace/FB uploading methods...maybe it's just the years of practice I've had with Photobucket, but I just prefer it over all the rest. I might have 'accidentally' taken some long distance shots of some people fighting with the melee weaponry...I'm sure I'll get beat up enough for it later.  I'm glad that we got a decent sized group together, managed to not leave anyone this time, that's definitely a plus.  I passed out watching Powerpuff Girls, keep thinking we need the ending credits song on Rock Band, that'd be fun.  And also had a dream about Watchmen too, fairly confusing.  I'd lay back down because my back is sore as all hell, mainly from the massive hit Thor gave me the other day (ok, maybe not THAT bad...but it's still a bit achey), but gotta get legal, tagwise.  Don't want to lose my car just because some cop's all bent out of shape, heh.

6:05 pm	Seriously... What kind of driver flips a cement truck over to block 4 lanes of travel at 7am traffic?  There better have been a hell of a squirrel in the middle of the road is all I have to say about that. I am in love...with my new DVD/CD collection.  To list them would waste several pages of text...well maybe not several, but unless you're into weird Tim and Eric'ing or like to be creeped out by random Quarantines, or want to be wooed by some Locksley or Paramore, or hear about the latest Death Notes that you have to Burn After Reading, mainly concerning Robot Chickens and Punishing War Zones of Afro Samurais being Resurrected...you probably wouldn't be interested.  It'd just probably make you Dazed and Confused and leave you wondering about Infinite Playlists that Pulse 3 times to a random Dark City's Riches. So I won't rant about my purchases.  That'd just be silly. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:48 pm	Cars and Sillyness So I went to some body shops/salvage yards the other day, took a look at some old cars, some new cars, lots of damaged cars, to identify what would be repairable and what would have to be replaced, as far as my new add-on to my position at work of writing estimates.  It sounds like it could be fun, depending on who I have to deal with and the like.  And I did get to see a forklift taking cars to a crusher, it was fun because there was this one car where the hood kept popping up, so the forklift had to put it down, pat the hood shut, and pick it back up, and the operator was doing it so fast...almost reminded me of petting a kitty, except with heavy steel and was about to be crushed by a Wall-E. And my own car is having issues...still won't bloody start.  So I'm severely annoying and going to take it to the shop and HOPE they can have it all checked out today...I'm hoping it's some loose cabling and the like, because when I took the car to the shop last weekend and they checked the battery out, it was fine, and then the Monday after that it started going kaput.  Blarghsome. Profit sharing was much fun madness.  Shame it'll be the last, but there was a fun band, a fun pair of internet guys who made a Farmers song that was pretty hilarious. I'm starting a Commune project on Sundays, trying to not have tvs and video games going on 99% of the day every day...we'll see how that goes.  And now I hear my ride to the shop, so I'm off!

3:28 am	Well I feel like an ace... Well...I had a different subject that I was going to copy/paste from Myspace, but...it's just not appropriate now.  If you read this (and I think you know who you are), I can't express enough how hard everything must be for you right now...I know we aren't the closest of friends, but...there's really no words that I can say that can form any real comfort at this point, and I'm sorry for that. Check my Myspace blog if anyone feels like reading what I felt was important a while ago.  http://www.myspace.com/dcbueller   (Comment on this)

4:27 am	I can't feel my legs I've probably walked more this past weekend than I've had in the past month.  It's a good feeling, the numb legs/feet, but semi annoying because I do rather want to do some more Wii Fit, hehe.  This weekend was nice, getting to meet more new peeps (fellow Munchkin players, that's a rare treat, here's to hoping an uber game of Munchkin can take place at some point), going on midnight walks around campus and finding things I had no idea about.  I just didn't really wander campus very much, the interior of it anyways, I always just walked to the Union and then around the entire campus when I went walking, back in the dorm days.  I went to the museum with some friends, visited a Harlem exhibit, some classical arts, and some trippy optical illusion art that I really liked.  There was a glass exhibit, I forget the guy's name (it seems like everyone in OKC knows who he is though, and I'm sure I'll be scolded enough for forgetting it) but there were some cool designs there too, including one that looked like Pluto getting mad at being thought of as not a planet...me and Lacey are probably going to have to ground Jacku for life for his thinking Pluto is a dwarf of some sort...he was getting so close to becoming not least favorite child too. Domdom is also in town now, so now she's crashed out (actually everyone is, it's almost friggin 5 in the AM, and the only reason I'm up is because my nose started getting angry at me again...and I thought I was over these dang allergies, grrness.  There was a sushi place we all went to that was good, probably won't go that far again given there's places closer to us in Normanville.  Today we'll probably do more touring of campus and the like.  Meaning more walking.  Meaning no feeling in the feet again.  Meaning I should try to crash out now.

12:05 pm	Awake...? Waking up from a haze of confusion.  I didn't drink (that much) last night, just stayed up probably later than I should have, and I feel the allergies coming back again...and they were doing SO WELL when everyone was over for...whatever reason.  It just turned into some mid size get together party deal, with some fun Wii Fit / SF 4 action.  I turned out to be a ringer of some sort according to Lug on Wii Fi, heh.  Yesterday was a stroll through nostalgia lane (and WTH at taking 5 minutes to remember that word, seriously Brain, we're going to have a talk after this), going through some OLD photos and videos from back in the dorm days.  Had quite a chuckle, I used to download the funny vids and MP3s that I ran across, mainly through a certain site that's now unfortunately not safe for work (not that it was when I first went to it anyways, but it's definitely worse nowadays).  I'm definitely glad that last night seemed to be fun for everyone, I'm just wishing I could remember more of it.  I'm having the reverse issue where the dreams I had are running through my brain...one of them was where Norman got flooded, and I was half driving, half pushing my car through the water to get to work...ugh, not a fun dream.  And then the other was about someone breaking into the house, and I couldn't 'wake up' so to speak, so that was a stress and a half, but now semi relieved that it was just a dream. Ok, time to talk with my Brain because I totally forgot everything else that I wanted to rant about, grrsome. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:50 am	Fun Photos and the like So...it's been a while.  I've been lazy/tired/busy with the randomness that comes with things nowadays. I've posted up some pictures, one for a party I hosted on the 14th, and another for my friends Staci and Cody at their wedding, which was awesome and funtacular, and especially nerdy, hehe.  I'd like to think I might be able to pull something like that, but I doubt I'd be able to get it past whoever I marry, much less the parents, le sigh.  I can always dream.  Just check out the Photobucket (because I don't really like the photo adding features of Myspace/Facebook) at: http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/dcbueller/ And check out Staci/Cody's wedding and B&B Party 2009. Life is always crazy, just gotta roll with it, even if it hurts because you're rolling into spikes or bombs or (gasp) pug dogs. Speaking of pug dogs, added a random Tarot'ing that Jacku did of me and the Pug...grrness. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:48 am	Stretch, crackle, pop Hate stupidity, like home, love games. Wanted to make that some sort of meme whatever, but eh.  Wootever. Jacku did a tarot reading (at Thor's request) regarding the future of me and the pug dog...if you look at it from the pug's POV, he hasn't gotten what he's wanted, and he's always felt restrained by his surroundings (aka me), and whawt he apparently wants is a female pug dog...so in his old age, he'll calm down, be more calculating, but in the end, HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS (thank you, World card!). From my POV, there's been a rivalry of sorts in the past, and it's going to come down to a showdown at some point, and in the end, someone will be content...whether it's me, or the pug dog, the cards didn't say, so I'm just going to say it's me, when I finally get rid of that dang dog. I only got 2 hours of sleep but feeling great, by the way.  I was planning on hanging with Mom, but due to heart issues and the like, she's staying home...nothing serious, just wouldn't want her too far away from home if anything happened, which is understandable.  At least she's going to see The Color Purple tomorrow. And I had a little note somewhere that Hime wrote up of Obama's Inauguration speech, in her words, that I thought was quite...cute, hehe.  But I lost it...suffice to say, it helped me feel connected with the outside world when I was stuck inside dealing with stupid people's claims...so hate stupidity. Oh...something I just remembered.  Jacku taroted the Zombie Apocalypse.  Something like this might have happened in the past, but it just ain't happenin' for reals folks, sorry.  (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:01 pm	My mind is a crazy place I'm not sure why this happened today, but for some reason, I was thinking how much I wanted to see the movie, 'Without a Paddle.' If you haven't heard of it, don't worry, I'm sure almost no one else has. And apparently, they came out with a straight to DVD sequel, Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling.  And I think I'm the only Normanite who watched tonight's game and just shrugged...and booted up some Left 4 Dead.  I'm going to be hated tomorrow, methinks.

12:38 am	Naughty New Years So between Cox being a biznitch on the phone (but great in person...proving you can really say whatever you want when you can't see the person face to face) and my massive amount of games/comics, it's taken a while to put up these photos/videos.  I am going to warn you, I didn't really screen these (although I could have/should have, but I was far too tired to bother, and I don't like 'censoring' myself, even though I really should have in this case), so some, if not all, of these images are NOT for the weak of heart.  Seriously.  I'm warning you.  The kind of images that are NOT safe for work.  Seriously.  I'm warning you again. So now that that's out of the way, the get together was quite a bit of fun, especially after the AM began.  There was quite a bit of drinking, quite a lot of honesty, and not too much craziness, thankfully enough.  Yozzo and Katto were great hosts, and I thank everyone for participating and allowing me to show off my 'Draggy Rocky' side, hehe.  I really don't think I'll do it again though, after looking at some of these, now that they're up on Photobucket, I don't look as good as I thought I do...I had shaved that morning, and I never realized that I get such a hell of a 5 o'clock shadow.  I don't know how to begin the tale of the party, but I don't suppose there's much really specific to tell.  Jacku and Yozzo developed a Commune Edition Cranium Party Playoff, so all the themes were related to the Commune, including peeps, ideas, phrases...such as Mattanese, hehe.  There was some Tripoli (a fun Poker variant), and several drinking games, such as 'I've Never...' and 'Truth, Dare, or Drink,' but that was mainly 'Truth, Truth, or Truth.'  And basically we all stayed up chatting until far after the sun came up...such as 8ish or 9ish or so.  And then it was fun biznitching with Cox for an hour, dealing with a biznitchy representative and her supervisor, so that was kind of a downer...but then I passed out and had fun crazy dreams. Some people commented that after the whole dressy thing came off that I looked like Prince...I didn't really see it though. Oh, and thanks, Katie, for the dress, even though a certain someone thought it was a 'grandma's dress', hehe. And last, but definitely not least, here's the link! http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/dcbueller/Naughty%20New%20Years%202009/ (6 Comments |Comment on this)

8:37 am	I have no New Years Revolutions Finally passed out around 3ish.  Then woke up at 7am with a pounding headache that wouldn't let me go back to sleep.  This was definitely the 'quietest' New Years I've hosted in quite some time, but I'm sure most people would still call it a party.  Had a crazy dream again, like a continuation from last night.  Basically it's set in the near future, involving friends from my trips to Europe and China, and we were trying to solve sort of murder...well last night everything hit the fan and we were just trying not to get wacked.  I think it's due to one of the new games I got, Android. Today will definitely be a board gaming day, after getting this fricking VBALink to work so I can rock out on some Shining Soul. I don't have any specific New Years revolutions really.  Nothing that hasn't already come true or I'm too lazy to pursue, well, except the same old soapbox song and dance, write some thing before my mind forgets it all or I get wacked.  That's about it.  Hope everyone had a safe New Years (except Yozzo, that'll get some...attention), and good luck on any revolutions planned.  (Comment on this)

10:34 am	16 Random things from Random Guy I'm only doing this because Texy made me :P 1.  I love my friends, and would do just about anything for them.  I'm very quick to make friends, maybe a little too quick...and I'm afraid that my friendliness comes off as creepiness to some people I meet...which makes me sad. 2.  I haven't written anything serious for about 6 months, and it drives me insane with all the ideas toiling around in my head.  I've written a little ditty here and there, and the last major attempt was a semi X-COM story when I was in a X-COM phase, but it didn't get too far.  I think I need to get more energy somehow, I've looked into vampirism lately... 3.  I don't hate pug dogs.  I actually love them with all my heart.  I want to start a pug dog charity foundation to help any lost pug dogs on the streets. 4.  I'm joking about 90% of the time about anything.  I like to joke around and I really don't like being serious (why then did I not like the Joker in Dark Knight...?  Oh well.).  Life's too crazy to take seriously all the time. 5.  I have a collection problem, as I'm addicted to collecting.  If I start a collection, be it a book series, comic series, someone's music, I have to get it all (thank goodness I never got into Pokemon or WOW, heh).  It was really bad in high school when I'd take lunch money and buy various games and comics, but I thought I kicked it after high school...after college though I started right back up again.  6.  I'm don't like connecting with family because I'm worried I'll never meet their expectations.  During college I was always ranting about writing and managing that and whatever job I had after school...but work takes so much out of me each day.  I guess I just don't want them to think I haven't done anything with my life. 7.  I had alot of online friends back in the day when I was more 'net connected than I am now.  I met quite a few of them, and while I was happy, I also felt like such a creep...I mean this was before it was kind of 'semi normal' to meet online peeps in real life.  I feel bad that I've lost touch with some of them, but I'm afraid to try to reach out and build those connections again...too much time has passed, methinks. 8.  Tim and Eric rock.  9.  I have such a horrible memory partially because I don't sleep, but partially because of all the story ideas floating in my head that I'm constantly adjusting and rethinking.  I'm sure my stories take up at least 80% of my memory capacity, and it's a miracle I can retain much more than people's names and how to do my job nowadays. 10.  As much as I hate Mister Guido, I think everyone else loves him for seeing how I reacted to him during our COD4 matches.  I think the whole apartment complex got a good kick out of our 'conversations' too.  Blargh, I hate competing in FPS games, which kind of brings me to my next point... 11.  I don't like competing in general.  There's always a loser, and while I'm okay with losing for the most part, I just feel bad for the losers, especially on TV after a big match and they're focusing in on some of them...leave those losers alone!  (I just watched Seth Green's hilarious parody of the Leave Britney Alone thing, he's too awesome). 12.  I really wish I learned a musical instrument when I was younger...I know everyone says you can start at any time, but I believe I have a good ear for music, as in for rhythm and tone, but as far as actually practicing it goes, my fingers fail me...the only dexterity I have involves video games.  My fingers get all confused otherwise (that's probably why I loved Amplitude and Frequency, making music using a game controller is fine with me). 13.  I LOVE parenthesis'ing everything.  It hurts to an almost physical level when I can do that in writing, as those represent little asides or loud whispering.  I think it annoys other people though...le sigh. 14.  I came up with Mattanese when I was listening to an OC Remix song about the Sims.  I wish I could find it again, but can't find it offhand...I try not to type in Mattanese, because it'd look alot like Cthulhuese and that'd just drive everyone totally crazy. 15.  I started playing video games when I was 2, playing board games/D&D when I was in elementary school...and I wonder how I turned out (somewhat) socially okay.  Some big name D&Ders include Vin Diesel (who would have thunk?) and Stephen Colbert (well...I kind of guessed that a while ago). 16.  Meow. DONE! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:03 am	Ahh... I'm enjoying a nice quiet Christmas with Tex, watching a Star Trek TNG marathon, found a couple of abandonware sites, and laughing at the 'Cultists' on the Snuggie commercial...this is a good Christmas.  The only question is whether or not to stick the other TV on 'A Christmas Story' channel, har.

11:00 pm	Anything to report? Nothing of much import.  I'm being a total game nerd for Left 4 Dead, Persona, and Fallout 3.  I've lost my touch in Soulcalibur...I might just retire from that.  I had fun, but now that everyone's getting so much better than me, it takes the fun out of it for casual players like myself. Work was a whirlwind of interesting times.  I've had some really rough spots for the past week, but I'm thinking starting tomorrow, everything will be looking up.  If I didn't have awesome co-workers and a great boss, I'd have gone insane, harhar. I'm looking forward to the end of the year, at least to get some days off, relaxing, getting the annual raise...that'll help pay for my various addictions, I'm going out of control with some of them, like music, movies, games...the only thing I'm kind of keeping in check is the comics, but that's not going too well either, hehe.  I've also been running into some various friends the past couple of weeks, keeping busy and hanging out...I also quit Eharmony and those various sites, they just weren't working out for the most part...but I've met at least 2 people that I'm talking with still, and I'll take that as a win. Now it's time for me to be all nostalgic again, do some various old school gaming, like Quest for Glory and some Gold Box...mmm, fun times. (Comment on this)
