"It
has been decided... I HATE moving!"
Notice
has been given... it's official, we will be moving back into my
parent's basement sometime before the end of May. It breaks my heart
to leave the apartment i have right now, and there's no way in hell
anyone could find a better landlady, i feel even worse about leaving
on her than leaving the comfortable life i had set up for myself.
Bottom line, with a growing family the place was just too small
(well it was a great size for two, but we have too much junk cluttering
the place!)
I'm
very uneasy about the whole moving back with Mom and Dad thing.
they've just gotton used to not having anyone living under their
roof after the loss of Fred, enjoying their independance a little
bit, and their house is kept immaculately clean (my father is a
housekeeping machine!) These things really don't gel too well with
bringing me (working full time), Sarah (full time mom) Abby (full
time baby) and Sid (full time slob of a cat) back into their pristine
domicile. Hopefully all works well, but i can't help but feel a
little aprehensive, and remember all that stuff we own? there's
no way in hell we're fitting even 25 % of that into my parent's
place... ugh... the headaches have only just begun... on the plus
side, it looks like i may have money all summer! :) And come the
Fall/early Winter, i SHOULD have a home of my very own!
"Life!
HA who needs it!"
Those
of you who remember my early postings probably know about the whole
terrible FINAL FANTASY XI addiction that afflicted me all summer
last year during the beta test. Well the full retail has landed,
and i am OWNED! To make matters worse, Sarah has also developed
quite the pencheant for the mythical world of Vana D'eil. This game
is truely majestic, a pure work of brilliance in game design...
This is the BEST FREAKING GAME EVER!!! (bold statement... but man
o man, i have never in all my life been so addicted to a game...
in fact i can't wait to play it right this moment...!) If you happen
to get into this life sucking hobby and wind up on the Pandemonium
server, look for a guy named Mordecai frequenting the Bastok region...
Sarah
has also discovered the bliss, and is currently almost as terribly
riveted as i... though her particular addiction revolves around
playing with funny crystals in an attempt to craft stylin' Brass
Cap for her character... even wandering around the cities of this
thing and participating in item creation, fishing, or any of the
inordinate amounts of ancilliary destractions can prove to be one
hell of a lot of fun! You needn't ever venture out into the wilderness
to slay demons and such...
Pure
life-sucking unbridaled Heroin in video game form!
You'll
also notice the official strategy guide for Final Fantasy XI under
the Reading banner.. this thing is goddamn invaluable for a game
this size, and no player should be without!
"Punk!"
Offspring
are a band i discovered way back in the day, well before they shot
to superstardom with their "Smash" album. My introduction
to the band came with the "Ignition" album, which a close
friend of mine (hey Jeff!) shelled out an obscene amount of money
for. Well i struck a deal on their latest offering, Splinter, and
i must say i was pleasantly suprised! Unlike the poppy mainstream
downhill slide the band had been taking for their last few offerings,
they've really come back to the Smash sound in a big way here. Tunes
like "The Noose" and "Lightning Rod" hearken
back to the glory days of the early 90's pseudo punk scene. While
it falls just shy of Smash, it definitely ranks in at #3 behind
that album and Ignition. There is of course at least one "poppy"
reggae shits n giggles throwaway song in the tradition of their
must successful single (and slab of utter garbage) "Why Don't
You get a Job?" called "The Worst Hangover Ever..."
just skip it and you'll be ok... On the other hand, there's a poppy
accoustic number on there called "Spare me the Details"
which actually kicks ass! Suprising! 3.5 out of 5 overall (solid,
but hardly brilliant)
I'm
Cheating a little...
Master
and Commander: The Far Side of the World is currently under
the "watching" banner, but i must confess all i've been
able to dig into as of yet is the special features disc... goddamn
this looks increcible!
