RANT: Elemental: War of Magic has huge potential and is buggy as fuck. They've patched it four times in the first two days. I got about 90% of the way through my first game where it looked like I was actually going to win and I took a break. Came back and it was like "oh, hey, yet-another patch is available. Want to update?" I did. The new patch is incompatible with previous savegames, like the one I was just playing. Hope they get this shit straightened out.
Rant: So at 12:30 last night, some douche bag decided it would be fun to pull the fire alarm for no reason, wake everyone in my building, and cause a mass evacuation until the fire department came to determine that the whole thing was bogus. For those 20 minutes, I was fully capable of taking another human life. The last time I experienced this was freshman year in college. It wasn't funny then, and it sure wasn't funny now. Especially since where I live now, people had to carry their fucking babies outside, past the blaring fire alarm speakers, in the middle of the night. Rave: The Chief of Police lives in my building. He was none too happy about getting up and going outside to see all of his neighbors. He will be analyzing the security tapes for all the cameras in our building with multiple police officers to see if they can find/catch the asshole. Is there any law the covers illegal use of an emergency system or can someone be charged with felony stupid?
RAVE: I got to spend some time with her last night watching football and eating chinnese. RANT: After 2 rounds she tried to say she was done and didn't want anymore. RAVE: I wasn't buying it, finally she couldn't take it anymore and started begging. RAVE: I love compliments about doing a good job.
Rant: I decided to check my reps before making a post about the girl I'm fucking...and it looks like I already did...while black out drunk. Yeah, she's a whore, and not in the prototypical TiB misogynist sort of way. More of the almost had a (MFF) threesome with one of my good friends last year sort of whore. She's been feeding me whatever she thinks I'd want to hear so I continue treating her like a respectable young lady. I did fuck her within an hour of meeting her so I shouldn't be surprised, I'm just far less perceptive than I give myself credit for. Best silver lining rave ever: Time to find a hot freshmen and set up a threesome!
RAVE: Why had I NOT heard of the PhotoShop image processor BEFORE today? Literally, surfing the net and doing other shit, while the program is compressing a couple hours worth of work into minutes, by itself! I'm actually cleaning! RAVE: Getting to hang out with my new favorite person not married to the MMA guy. RAVE: Everyone seems to be doing better than they were a week ago in general.
Rave: Less than an hour before my first fantasy football draft starts. I've been anxiously waiting for this for weeks while doing research. This season's draft is going to be a complete clusterfuck...outside of Chris Johnson, AP, Ray Rice, and MJD, no one can agree on who should go where. Line up a stud QB early! WR are super shallow, load up by the 3rd or 4th! TE are super deep...wait till the 12th! I love Brett Favre and I will trade my soul to have him as my fantasy quarterback! My favorite time of year.
Rave: I love newegg. Just ordered a new motherboard for my home computer, along with a new CPU fan and heatsink. As soon as I get those installed I'm going to be trying my hand at some overclocking. Rave: It's Friday!
Rant: Finally went to set up the 360 after the move and it won't turn on. No red ring of death or anything, fucker just won't turn on. Funny?: Called Xbox support. The guy sounded way too stoked to be talking to a girl.
Rave: It's Friday, I'm off, and it's a beautiful and comfortable 77 degrees out here on the patio. Kids are in school, yard work is done, classes don't start until next week...I have no idea what to do with this free time. Weird feeling.
Rave: So, lo and behold "Wanna get out of here?", actually works. I've always been the kind of guy to get a girl's phone number at a bar or club and then seal the deal a few days later, right now I'm 2-0 with this. Maybe girls just appreciate the honesty, who knows?
RAVE: This hunk of burnin' love* is coming home with us for the next few days. On the schedule: a bath, lots of long strolls in the park, and plenty of cookies! Spoiler *His name is Guinness, and he belongs to my husband's boss. I may dognap him.
Rant: I need an admin. Rant/Rave: My Indian neighbors continue to fuck at the same time every night. It's right when I turn everything off and study before bed. I'm kind of a voyeur so I kinda think it's funny and just continue listening.
Rave- Continued the streak of getting to the beach every weekend this summer. The weather was amazing, the beach wasn't crowded and the water wasn't frigid, I could not have asked for a better day. I went with my best friend instead of a huge gang and we got silly stoned and watched the Piping Plovers bounce around after fighting with the waves for ages. I am now going to have a quiet night in with the other half and watch many episodes of "Being Human. No rants today.
Rave: It's the weekend. Rant: Somehow I have two flights tomorrow about stuff I've never been taught or know how to fly. Should be fun. Rave: The flight is at 615 at night, so It's obviously a night flight. This is good, but very very interesting. Rave: Drinking calls the nerves.
Rant: High Tuesday? 107 degrees. High today? 61 degrees. I am pretty sure global warming was all that day, and then went away. We all have nothing to fear.
It's the little things in life rave: Watched Back To The Future with my son tonight and he loved it. Haven't seen that movie in 10 years or so and it was just as great as I remember. Surprisingly the sfx still hold up. OLD MAN RANT: When it opened in 1985 I was a freshman in high school. Just call me Methuselah.
Rant: My lifestyle took on some drastic changes in the past month. I was promoted to a new position, which now has me working seven days a week starting at 6 am to manage my project (A Navy destroyer in dry dock). We won this contract for 5 years, so this will be a regular thing for at least that long. I also just started an MBA program at a top business school, but unfortunately the campus is 45 minutes away from my house. So now I'm taking classes two nights a week, getting home at 11 pm twice a week, and waking up at around 5 am every day. It's Friday night at 10 pm, the town is absolutely hopping because of our annual Surfing Championship which brings tons of pro surfers, clothing models, fantastic parties, and I'm at home writing my first grad school paper and getting ready to wake up and go to work. Rave: Tomorrow (after work of course) we're having our live FF draft at my place. It'll be fun to show my friends that I'm still alive, and finally do a little partying. The girlfriends are going to do something during the draft, then we're all meeting up and I'll get to be social again. Unfortunately I'll be hungover on Sunday at work, but I don't see myself staying there any later than 8 am. Then I can go home and study my favorite subject - Corporate Accounting! Fuck, the last 4 years of my life I've been putting in maybe 35 hours a week in the office, and partying/beaching from Friday afternoon non-stop through to Sunday night. System shock.
Rave?: Cutting our salt, caffeine, fast food, junk food and weed. I mean it. Rant: Still have a terrible drinking problem. I'm into my second year of "being drunk at least once a week" since May 2009. My time in Barcelona and Ibiza featured me drunk and/or high six days a week on average and my time since returning has been at around three times, or twice but really heavily drunk a week. Rant: Frosh week next week, so much for my liver. Canadians will get the reference. Rave: Continuing from my previous R&R post... I'm still having sex twice a day. I think I need my space though, I've been hanging out with the "girlfriend" too much, even though we just drink, smoke up and have sex.
RAVE: Finally found a potential non-comedic use for Ron Jeremy's CD Pornosonic... a compendium of unreleased porno themes from teh 70's. We're talking full-on funky porn themes, like they were meant to be. Picture Huggy Bear with his gold-fish-bowl shoes. (If you're too young to get that reference, I feel badly for you). Ron Jeremy's Pornosonic CD. Right when they start to fucking, crank it. Consider it a neighbourly ego boost for them. My favourite segue is when Ron doles out some potentially life-saving advice to the porn starlet, specifically this gem: "A relaxed ass, is a happy ass." Words to live by, if you ask me, and you have to admit the man knows his shit. Ouch... bad pun alert.
