Movie Night June 5, 2010

Movie night again, just the two of us, but that's fine as we tend to go longer and watch more a variety. This night was all over the map, in a good way. (imdb is not loading for me for some reason, so i'm linking ot other places, sorry)

Doctor Who, Vincent and the Doctor.
   Wow. This is actually my favorite of the new doctor episodes. Besides the fact that the Universe seems to be trying to tell me something, fourth thing i watched this week with suicide as a subject, and me not even going out of my way to find those things. Amy is awesome as usual, my favorite companion, not just because she's cute as a button, but not a pushover and not one dimensional either. Loved, loved, loved the cinematography too, the colors reflected the paintings and were awesome.




Astro Boy.
   My oh my. No offense to the animators who worked on it, but wow. The voices that just didn't fit, the story that drug, the odd choices, just not a fan. Also, the very bit at the end, that should have been the movie, would have been more fun i bet.




St. Trinian's.
   Awesome. Damn awesome. Looking, it seems to be sixth in a series, with a sequel, going to have to check that out. It was bizarre, fun, with awesome actors, too many to list really. Perfect Saturday night movie, fun, fun, fun.




Adam.
   Very good drama, with the main character having aspergers, and not portrayed in a bad way. Also didn't get stereotypical and the ending was good in my eyes. Not sure what else to say about it, but it's a watch for sure. Plus, it's got Amy Irving, who i adore.




Black Dynamite.
   Heh, brilliant, at least for a Saturday night movie. Some people love it, some hate it, i loved it. Laughed my ass off and would probably quote it tons, where people would get sick of it, if i could remember more lines.

Movie Night May 29, 2010

Holy crap! A movie night! ;) After a long break, back with a movie night post.

Doctor Who, Cold Blood
   Part two of a two parter, been watching them on my own since last movie night, so wasn't confused. ;)




Gamer
   Standard action, but loved Michael C. Hall in it, great character. Best part of the movie really.



Ninja Assassin
   Some great moments, but a LOT of unneeded stuff that really broke the flow of it.



Oneechanbara: The Movie
   So disappointed in  this. Who hears bikini zombie slayer and thinks to go serious with it?? Oh well. The game is mindless fun, hack and slash, over the top. I'm going to include trailers for both so you can see what i mean.

Trailer for the movie:


Trailer for the game:

Open the door, sit in the seat, turn the key and go!

It's been a while since i posted here, probably many different reasons. Haven't had movie night in a while, due to where we have it has moved, and they are settling in and such. Been having a bad depression too, came on a couple weeks ago and only recently started to fade. That was annoying, i did the "escape into warcraft thing" too. I pretty much know where this depression came from, it's only a couple weeks until the two year anniversary of Jodi taking her life, and the dreams (nightmares really) have been coming fast and furious. Hard to stop thinking about when every night they keep reminding me. She's just been on my mind a lot lately, so there's that. I know, how is this different than other times? I know, but i can't really say. So yeah. Been missing Zack bunny, but thankfully Kitty is more herself now, still seems to miss him, but is acting more herself. That's a good thing. 

So at the beginning of last week things started. Started how i hear you not asking. Well,  i got invited to a group shoot in Stillwater at the Lowell Inn, honeymoon suite. Of course i jumped at the chance, better than having to drive all day for the same type of opportunity, even if those ones down by Racine are pretty awesome. Just nice to have one closer. Then things start going wrong, ugh. Nothing earth shattering or tat bad, just one thing on top of another. Get car washed, windshield cracks about a foot up it, probably from heat then cold water, the previous smaller crack didn't help i bet. Health issues (that i'm not going to go into here) pop up the two days before, big time, worse than before. Ugh. My clothes and shoes have shrunk (that has to be it, right? heh). Unknown charges on my bank card decided to push it over the limit, then the $35 each charge starts up. Great timing too as all the things i subscribed to charge right then. Ugh. Printer out of ink, had a hard time finding cartridge for it, needed to print model releases. More little things that just kept annoying the hell out of me. I was sure i was going to get there and be arrested for some unknown reason (hey, panic attacks are fun! and logical!). 

Anyway, i get there, and it takes a while for them to hear me knocking, of course i worry i'm at the wrong room. I'm not, which is good. There were about five or six (hard to keep track) other photographers, several models (of which i got six photographed), and tight confines. Side note here, I'm not too impressed with the Lowell Inn, i've stayed in much nicer for similar prices, (i forget the name, but that place in Chicago i took Emiko and Kevin to, that place was nice, for example (even though no one reading this will probably remember it, heh)). Very tight spaces with lights, bags, people, and need for there to be no clutter behind models. Got really, really hot in there, even with air conditioning going. I also almost forgot to eat before it, but grabbed a bite before, just got really hungry near 11pm and had to motor before i passed out. That part sucked, but the rest didn't. All the models were awesome, and i'd love to work with them again if i ever get the chance. Another side note, i really, really need to learn how to direct models, and tell them what i want them to do (not even mentioning knowing myself what i'd like them to pose like and such). Telling bunnies and other animals things, not so successful. "Hey Jerry, go over there. No! Come back!" heh. Events are the same type of thing, just have to go with the flow, and try and position yourself and catch what you want. So yeah (i'm saying that a lot, i know), it was an awesome shoot, with many amazing models from the area. Here is one of my favorite shots i got of one of my favorite models of the shoot (she's lovely, friendly, makes you feel at ease, etc. Although they all rocked). She is wearing the cuffs one of the guys who set up the event had, she was the only one to wear them though, and she looks great in them. Almost all the models had lingerie, some of it vintage from a shop in Minneapolis. (Speaking of which, if i had more time and knew models sizes, i could have gotten some of Sarah's awesome stuff from her shop in Portland, she seems to have a lot of great stuff.)

So yeah (again?? heh), here she is. Some mild retouching, (damn dust spots on the sensor, ugh) but mostly as shot. I need to go through them all and do it all, but this one rocks my socks off.

Sweet Crunchy Keyboard

I've been sick for the past week or so, stomach thing from hell, as the Simpson's put it, "Giving birth to a food baby." Good times. No, not really, mostly resting, bathroom, repeat. Like several times an hour. Wondering what i ate that did this, although i'm hearing a lot of people talking about getting "something" not fun like this. To top it off, allergies from hell as everything is blooming, and if i open the windows, my allergies kick in big time. Ugh.

So i've been sitting in front of the computer at the kitchen counter when i've not been doing the above. That is where the title comes in, i spilled soda on my laptop and now has crunchy keys. I tried to catch it really fast, but wow i wasn't so fast at all, ugh. Thankfully they all work, but i have some crunchy keys on the right side. Not as bad as the time they didn't work at all, not easy to type passwords when you can't actually type them in. heh. This is another pain though, one laptop has a dead graphics card, so i pulled out my older alienware which i mainly play MMOs on and now that is randomly disconnecting me from WoW. I'd use my newest powerful desktop, but for some stupid reason it's now randomly entering powersave mode. Ugh. This not counting the iBook i want to get the logic board fixed, but it's pretty damn old now, seven years, and it's mostly because i have a couple things i'd like to have. Yes, i do have a LOT of computers, heh.

One of the few things i have been doing though, besides the above, is playing World of Warcraft again. since i'm sitting there, i figured "why not?". I've also tried new things. I decided to brave the random dungeon finder. A little history here, i have had horrible, horrible luck with joining people in dungeons and raids. I don't belong to a guild, so it's all random people. I'm not the greatest player, so my dps isn't the best, and my healing could use work. Normally i just do pvp battlegrounds at level 80, and get whatever honor gear i could. I also would hop into lower level dungeons and see how far i could get solo, and i don't skip mobs either, i go for a full clear but not the zerg method. I know, i suck, but it's how i play. So feeling like crap, i decided to hop on to a random non-heroic. Ended up at Halls of Lightning with me as a healer. I had pretty decent gear, with a gear score of around 4k (pvp gear though). We didn't make it past the third mob group. Tank went down in three hits, everything aggroed me, and i died. This happened twice and i got booted. It was my worst fear. I know, it's just a game, and these people don't know me. I just hate that feeling of letting people down. I almost decided to quit WoW for good. I felt like physical crap, and on top of that emotional crap too.

I decided to give it one more try, this time not as healer role but dps in my shadow spec. It was heroic Utguard (forgot which one) Heroic difficulty. What happened? We blazed through, i was burning down mobs, healed in a pinch when the main healer accidentally aggroed an add (this must make no sense to those who don't play, lol) and kept everyone else up while the Death Knight kept it on him. It was my first good run in many, many years, before Burning Crusade actually. I had a blast. I've been running every random i can get into, with as many goes as i can. Even though running as dps means a 10-20 minute wait, i don't mind. It's nothing compared to the hours wait i had before the random dungeon finder for any lower level one, and all told i've had only a handful of bad runs out of tons of good. The bad included people with huge egos, people posting Recount scores (when no one is hurt and mobs drop) complaining, and the odd afk leach. Mostly good though, quiet most of the time, but one last night was hilarious. Overgeard players just going for their frost badges, flirting back and forth.

So anyway, as you can see below, i've gotten enough badges to get three pieces of T9, and achievements up the wazzo. So what's the point of all this? I don't know, except that i have a new favorite activity in WoW, random dungeons. I just wish i could go to the lower ones, never have stepped foot in the Burning Crusade or earlier ones, and raids too, that would be fun. I actually can't wait until Cataclysm to start over another character and see the new lands and old dungeons i missed over the years. Not what i expected after the game being out five years.



On bunny news, Kitty is being more herself, misses Zack like me, but is acting more like she used to. She even did a bunny dance when i played "chase the bunny" in the kitchen. That made me happy, haven't seen that in a while, even when Zack was around, she could probably tell he was sick. Now if the vet can figure out what is up with her skin, although where the fur has come out is coming in better and nicer looking. Who knows, doesn't seem to be mites or what we feared, so that's good.

Bunnies are wierd

Just a short little thing that i have noticed that made me giggle to myself, but will probably confuse others.

My bunnies have odd habits, and they seem to change them on a whim too. I'll use Jerry and whoever he is playing with because both girls do this with him. He was a tendency to like sitting in spots. For a while, i would find them in the hall by the bedroom, near the door. Then for whatever reason, the downstairs bathroom. Then in the kitchen by the stool. They always seem to go back to the area behind the chair i have in the library/bunn room, but the other spots just seem to change for odd reasons. They haven't been upstairs in ages, and the other day Emily was hanging out in the downstairs bathroom by herself all day. I kind of get her doing it, when i got her and Amanda that's where they "lived" until i got them a proper home. Lately Jerry has been sitting under the barstool by the wine rack, but only when i'm sitting at the counter, facing me.

I do similar, with how i fluctuate between habits and such, but it's kind of cute and silly when they do it. ;)

Side note, Kitty is finally starting to seem more herself. I was so worried about her for a while there. She surely misses Zack, like the rest of us.

Movie Night April 17, 2010

Movie night for April 17th, also my 40th birthday, and besides movies there was awesome Indian food from Indian Palace in Woodbury. Three items, but the middle one was unusually long, but good.


First up was the new episode of Doctor Who, Victory of the Daleks.
   So far my favorite of the new season, posed interesting questions, had some hilarious moments, and i do love me the Daleks. So having a new one on my birthday always is a good thing. ;)





Next up was What's Your Raashee?
   A quite long, but very enjoyable movie from India. The female lead, Priyanka Chopra, definitely did a great job in 12 roles. Not to mention she was adorable in several of the roles, my favorite being the Sagittarius one. Go figure. ;)





Last was Gentlemen Broncos.
   Oh my, how do i describe this?? Crazy. Funny. Bizarre. Plus more. I hurt from laughing so much. 

Movie Night April 10, 2010

Another night with an odd selection of movies, tv shows, and mostly just us two. 

Doctor Who - The Beast Below

I liked this more than the last episode, not sure why, maybe i just don't care for the whole "origin" type stories where we are introduced to new characters and such. I have to say though that the "space whale" totally reminded me in looks and description to the ships the Brood flew in the X-Men in the 80s. 

Party Down, 2 episodes:

  

Love this show and forgot it was coming back on. Good thing we watched two new episodes. heh. This show is awesome by the way. 

Jackal Onassis Backstage Party

Precious Lights Pre-School Auction

Nina's Heavenly Delights

Very cute movie, made me crave Indian food badly though. Something kind of hard to get used to though, Indian people with heavy Scottish accents. Not something you see that often, heh, and Laura Frazer, swoon. ;)

Goldfish Memory

Nice Irish film about relationships, of all sorts and outcomes. So many cute redheads, of course. 

Outsourced

Something i always saw on Netflix, but never watched, was awesome. The woman playing Asha, oh my, could she be cuter? No. And hey, she was on Doctor Who once. Heh. Also, made me crave Indian food even more. To the point where i think next week i'm getting a ton of takeout from the cities and bringing it to movie night. Seeing as it's my birthday. ;)

I long to be connected, I long to be affected

I don't know why, but the last few days have been an emotional roller coaster, with past thoughts and feelings. I know a part of it has been brought up by Zack passing, which has broken my heart and it's also heart breaking to see how Kitty is handling it. He passed while they were in their house together, and she looked lost and confused at him and at me when i picked him up and wrapped him in the quilt i was brought home in as a baby (ever since Clover passed, that's what i wrap them in after they pass, although they don't get buried or cremated in it. I prefer burial, but there were times the ground was too hard, and i don't think i could do the put them in the freezer until ground thaw thing.) So Kitty has not been her lovely self. She's always been active, and running around dancing, but since Zack left, she has been sitting in various spots for hours. She has been going where they hung out together, and sitting in the area where the kitchen meets the library, butt against the arch so she can see both rooms. She misses him. So do i. The good thing is she is eating, if she wasn't i would be terrified. I don't know how i would handle losing another bunn so soon. Side note, she's got something up with her skin/fur, where she is flaky and dandruffy, but the vet says she can't find anything wrong, no mites or blood issues. So later in the month or next she will go back to see if we can pinpoint it.

Anyway, back to where i was. Been bouncing around emotionally, and my sleep has shown it. I've been thinking about Jodi, and how things went, and how i'm letting that affect me more than it should. I'm afraid to let someone come over, to let them in, both physically and emotionally, because i'm afraid that similar will happen. I'm afraid of that happening again, watching someone i love spiral down, until the worst happens, and my words and actions all being the wrong thing. I also worry that in the six or so years since i've lived with another person, or even had someone in it, that i've gotten so disconnected from what "real people" do and live like, also that i don't really know what people mean or feel. I eat when hungry, mostly whatever i'm craving or have handy, as cooking for one usually makes too much food. So i end up making a cup of rice in my Zojirushi rice cooker, and topping with various things, or the instant ramen i've been talking about. When Jodi came two years ago, i was kind of shown that it's not what most people do, they have meals, do stuff.

I was also rather bluntly shown i have no clue what people really feel or think. Someone pointed out that what i thought was caring and affection was fake. I see that now, but i never seem to know what is actually going through someone else's mind or heart. I tend to think someone really likes me the way i like them, but it's not usually the case. More often than not it's me clueless that someone likes me and me thinking "I like them, but there is no way some one so awesome would like me that way", part of it is from history, where i've been shot down by people who were just friends.

I've also been afraid of those who just want something from me, what ever it may be, not that they care about me and want to share things with me. I give to those i care a lot about, but sometimes it seems there is too often times where there isn't honesty about feelings and being drug along. Like it's always me being the one to sacrifice, and lose out for the hope of being loved like i love.

It all sucks. Mostly the fear, and how i let it control me so much. I see others just go with the flow so much, and they seem so happy. But with me, it's like there have been so many times where doing that turned out to be the worst. I used to be one of those people, i think, where i could just see something and go for it, hoping for the best. Maybe not getting it, but not the worst. Now, i almost always expect the worst, or at least my brain starts to think the worst, even beyond the worst.

I don't know. It's pretty well summed up by this Apoptygma Berzerk song:




Here are the lyrics if you are curious:


Chew the pill that tastes like hell, but gives you strength 
Embrace the drug that makes you mad, cause still it turns you into Something else 
Feel the need for love grows stronger! 
Swap your mind for a mirror-search, and shake until the break of day

One day you'll realize that you were wrong 
And you'll regret that all this happened 
Did it (all) happen?
Some day you'll realize that you were wrong 
(You'll be) Left with paranoia, (as your only friend)

Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies 
That want to take control 
They're all around you, and you're all alone 
Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies 
Haunting your soul 
They're all around you, and you're on your own

One day you'll realize that you were wrong 
You'll regret that all this happened 
Some day you'll realize that you were wrong 
To be left with Paranoia

Myojo Soy Sauce Flavor

Second of the instant noodles, Myojo Kakesoba Desse Soy sauce flavor noodles. Same as last time, empty packet (one this time, dry powder) on noodles, add boiling water, wait, eat. Not the most exciting of the flavors, below the "hot" of last time, but still good. I do admit to being a fan of stronger flavors, and this was more mellow flavored, not bad, but mellow.

I just want to say here, that i hate that fake wood countertop i have. Ugh, so ugly.

Goku-uma Ramen Noodles, Hot Flavor

Out of boredom, confusion, curiosity, hunger, or whatever, i decided to keep track of and describe the ramen (and other instant noodles, but mostly ramen) i get, mostly at United Noodles in Minneapolis (which is an awesome Asian food grocery, if not a bit hard to find the first time you go).

First up is Goku-uma Ramen Noodles, Hot Flavor.

I had to get a kick out out of the "flavor" being "hot", but looking at the label it was actually kimchi flavored. I didn't get a good shot of it being "done", but it was pretty red like kimchi, so you'll have to use your imagination there. It's one of those instant ramen where you boil water, toss in the packets of powder flavor and dried veggies, pour in water, wait three minutes. Kind of nice when you are in a hurry (to get somewhere, or more often, just lazy and want food in you). It might be my imagination but there seemed to be more of it than what is in most instant ramen, but that could just be my imagination. I have to say, i love spicy food, and wasn't sure if it would be mild or wild, as everything i've learned has said that in general Japanese don't like spicy as much. Well, wow. My mouth was burning five minutes later. Awesome. It was hot, not so much in a painful way but a flavorful way. There was burning, but pleasant, for me at least. Yum. :)

Movie Night - April 3rd, 2010

Damn it. Got almost ready to post this, crash. :P So i am retyping it. Grr… (and now i'm having problems with it's fonts. grr... so if it looks weird, i give up.)

Night of mostly tv episodes, and good ones at that, i needed goofy and good. Got my mind off Zack for a bit. 

First off with the new Doctor Who, The Eleventh Hour.

   Might have my perceptions colored by my mind being on Zack so much, so i'll give it another watch when i'm more composed. Liked the new companion, but not the fact that there is another "anchor" to back home. Not sure about Matt Smith, seems mostly to be way too manic. Miss the more thoughtful Doctors honestly, but oh well. Also tired of the resolution being "I'm the doctor!" everyone does what he says while bads run away or are wiped out. I could be off though, who knows. I'll give it another watch some time later when i'm more myself. 

Then on to the movie Deadly Friend.

   A bizarre 80s movie by Wes Craven, more funny than scary, and with the best death going to Anne Ramsey. Odd movie, that's for sure. 

Then an episode of the 80s The Twilight Zone, Her Pilgrim Soul.

   Been too long since i've seen these episodes, this one was great. 

I couldn't find a video clip of this that would work for me, sorry. 

Another episode from the 80s Friday the 13th the Series, Night Prey.

   If Vampire the Masquerade wasn't inspired by this, i'll eat my hat. (which i don't wear). 

On to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once More with Feeling.

   Two guesses which song is my favorite, heh, the one Anya sings. About bunnies.

Then finishing up with the perfect Doctor Horrible's Sing-along Blog.

   I love this so damn much, the songs, the singers, the tragic story. Doesn't hurt that Felicia Day is too cute. 

Goodbye Zack

I came downstairs from working on the computer to find Zack passed away just a little while ago. (He's the one on the right in better days) Great bunny, so glad i had those years with him, but i'm going to miss him more than anything. Kitty is freaking out, (she's on the left) they were bonded since i got them, lived in the same house, played together all the time. Now she's looking frightened, staring at the gate. Hope she handles it okay, he's the only one that she got along with out of all of them, and they got along great as this picture might show.

I'm going to miss you Zack.

Movie Night - March 27th, 2010

Another movie night, four movies again this time for us who lasted. Those who missed the last, wow did you miss out. ;)

First up, Death Race (2008 version):
   Lots of explosions and it reminded me of the early 80s game Car Wars. Turn off your brain, go with it, and watch lots of violence and explosions. ;)



Next was Surrogates:
   Better than i thought, i'll have to go listen to the VFX Podcast to see if i was right about them using the same system (i recall it being called Ruby, but i'm spacing right now) they used in X-Men 3 to make certain characters younger to make the surrogates look synthetic. (Side note, that system is used more subtly in regular movies to make actors and actresses look younger, but you will never know which ones because those who work on it sign very strict NDAs, good times)



Then Franklyn:
   Neat movie, i liked it, but it was much less "action" than i expected. It also went ways i didn't see coming, which was good, and the design is wonderful. May end up getting this one, especially if there are decent extras.



Lastly after most have left Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl:
   O...M...G... Balls to the wall batshit insane! In the best ways possible. This was SO un-PC, just an fyi, so if that bugs you, you might not be able to shut off your brain and enjoy this. I'm so buying this one too when i can. Those who missed it, i feel you may have to watch it, The trailer isn't even a fraction of the craziness in the movie, the scene where she is dancing in the 'blood rain' was awesome (watch for blood coming from all sides of the screen, heh). The music was bizarre and fun too. Still hearing it in my head. ;)

Movie Night - March 20th, 2010

Movies, Chinese food, and just two of us. Sort of a horror night.

First Up Blood the Last Vampire:
   Wow, this almost put me to sleep, even with the nice lighting and cute girls. :P Also, what was with the really bad CGI blood?? It just didn't fit. Odd choice. Really should have been better than it was, sigh.



Next, Dead Birds:
   Should be called, "Walking in halls looking for stuff in the dark". There was also one dead bird, only one. (i get that they might have been symbolic, but i'm mad at them, heh)
Yep. :P



Then, Mum & Dad:
  Brutal. Not sure what i was expecting, but ouch. Better than the first two, but not as good as the next. Main protagonist looked like the lead of Being Erica, with a damn hard to place accent. Side note, i could swear i read a real case similar to this somewhere. Could also be called "Don't Go Home with Chavs". ;) Seemed like it was heading the torture porn route, but while rough, not as bad.




Lastly and most entertaining and bizarrely Embodiment of Evil
   Ah Brazil, this was out there, and fun. Should also be sponsored by BME, heh. Lots of real suspension and piercing. Went from funny, to freaky, to OMG!! I did just keep wanting to clip those damn nails though. ;)

Bunny cave

It's been really nice and warm out, so i've had the windows and front door (screen though, so no bunns can get out) open while cleaning. I wondered where Zack had gone and went searching for him. He was hanging out on the stairs, in this spot that was like a little cave, books and such stacked up and a magazine roof going from them to the boots. He stayed on the stairs for hours, at least four. He would go up and down them, then back to this spot. I brought him some food while he was doing this, dry russell rabbit, some hay, and some baby food flavored apple and such. He eats in little spurts, five bites or so, when he can. From what the vet says, he isn't going to be getting many nutrients from his food though, and he's nauseous feeling a lot, but that as long as he's eating, he hasn't reached the final stages. He's skinny as hell, but still a fighter, pushes me out of his way with his nose. Silly pooper. Currently he's sitting behind me with Kitty, who has a skin condition that the vet can't quite figure out. Looks like dandruff. She's also gained a pound, which is kind of funny, as she was the smallest, but is now pudgy.

I also want to say how much i *hate* that carpet. It's a pain to clean, is ugly, and used to be more of the upstairs too. Someday i'll decide on what to do with those stairs and get rid of it. The bunnies seem to like it though, so there's that.

Movie Night - March 14th, 2010

Movie night run down again.

First up, 2012.
   Yeah, it's a movie. A long movie. Pretty much what i expected, and can now say i've seen it. ;)



Next was End of the Line.
   Indy film, so effects and such were low budget, but they get a pass for that. Some of the actors/actresses were better than others, and it started slow, but got better and more freaky as it went on.



and finally, and most awesomely, Bitch Slap
   Oh my, i can't say how much i LOVE this movie! So much fun, and just got more and more crazy as it went on. The cameos were awesome, although i kept expecting Bruce Campbell to show up. ;) My favorite of the night by far, and my favorite in a while. It's that damn fun.

Wow, i haven't played in a while

For some reason, i decided to play some World of Warcraft last night. I don't know why, but i haven't played since sometime last year, although this happens to me, i play a lot, then get a burned out feeling or have a bad experience with someone that makes it less fun for me. I've played some DDO, Star Trek Online, and such, but most of my WoW play has been only about a couple of minutes then feeling apathetic and logging out.

I won't go into how embarrassing it was for me in Alterac Valley that first time back, "oops, all my addons are at default and are blocking my view or set up wrong." All my macros were borked, i forgot where keys were bound, yeah, good times. ;) Also, as crap as i thought my gear was before, well it's worse now, good times. ;) (and i just discovered that all my spell ranks on the action bars were off by several levels, oops, probably because i am using a different laptop, ugh)

So yeah, i basically just noticed this thing in the armory that allows you put it in a webpage. D'oh!  >_<;










Yep, alt-a-holic here, and i do love the night elves, even though they dance like strippers. ;) I think part of it is that the ears remind me of bunnies, heh. Sad to say i'll probably make a night elf mage when i can. ;)
Thrilling post eh? ;)

Zack

Just because, here is Zack in his carrier at the vet tuesday. He looks better than he feels. He's really skinny, but active. He doesn't like going there, or going in the carrier, but it seems to be helping him feel better with the fluid injections. So hard to see him sad and not healthy. He's such an awesome bunn.

Just for Men

Grrr... I really, really hate these commercials. I'm sure women hate some with as much passion as i do the ones for this product. I'd link to some, but i couldn't find any good ones, so just click the headline and it will take you to a search on youtube of them. 

What i hate the most, the "OMG! You have grey hair! Dye it or you are a huge loser and everyone will run away from you and laugh in your direction!" I really hate the 'miss hottie' ones. Ugh. Beyond painful. 

If you can't tell, my hair is pretty damn grey (if not white in big areas), and has been going that way since i was around 20 or so. I've always wanted white hair, not sure why, but as long as i can remember i've wanted it. Which is funny, because i was blond until around 5 or so, then it got darker, to black, then the white hairs started showing up. Heck, if i was to go pure white, i'd be even happier. 

I don't have a problem with anyone dying their hair whatever color if it makes them happy, i've had blue, purple, red, and pretty much every color that exists. It's fun, easy, and nice to look however you want. One thing that bugs me is that the people in those commercials look older to me after they dye it, like you can tell more that their face is aged, but looks "wrong". I won't even get into how they make it seem like grey hair = no job, girlfriend, life, whatever. (i'm going to ignore the jokes about how that kind of fits me a bit, heh)

Eh, it's probably similar to what women go through, Target Women does a pretty good job at describing it. 

I guess guys just want sex, and hot women are attracted to these things. ;)

Some people

I've debated sharing this, but i'm still pretty flabbergasted at the people there that i feel i need to get it out.

Before movie night i stopped at a local gas station to pick up drinks and some snacks, as usual. It was pretty empty, but there were the workers and a couple of people hanging out. I took a while to decide on what to get, and as they weren't talking with inside voices, i overheard their conversation. The subject of their conversation was about a picture of girl in the obituary section of the local paper. They even got out a paper and passed it around. While i was at first worried it was going to go in the direction of the guys who dug up a body to have sex with, and i'm not exactly sure it didn't after that, it was pretty crass.

She apparently hung herself, and they were going on about "how much a slut she must have been" because "she wore too much makeup" and kept "forgetting her id and credit cards" there. Needless to say, i'm a bit touchy when it comes to suicide, and people who judge or make fun of people like they were. Obviously, if a 20 year old decides to do that, they have things that are pretty serious going on. I wanted to smack these people.

I do get the whole thing about how people distance themselves from others, and would have probably not been saying or doing these things if they knew the person (i don't by the way), but whatever happened to not behaving like a caveman?

Same thing that has been bugging me with people who judge too quickly without knowing facts. Not to mention people who should be smarter, like with addictions being in the genes, not a character fault. No, i rarely drink (like a couple of times a year basically) and i don't do drugs. I've just known many who have, done my research, and understand that what we live through and where we come from can really form us.

*sigh*, so yeah, people pissing me off again. No surprise there.
