I honestly have a horrible memory. You would have to poke it with a stick to get it to remember things. I don't remember anything in 2009 that sticks out. I went to school, I took summer classes, I visited friends and family here and there, and I got deeper into debt. Such is the american way, it seems... If anyone can jog my memory with things that happened to me or people around me, let me know. Then I can talk about it.

I've got lots to accomplish in the new year....but right now I'm just sad.

Not depressed. Sad.

Still, have a Happy New Year everyone.

Lessee, what did I do today. Nothing too important, so don't bother reading unless yer really bored.

Got to sleep in, always a plus.

Got mostly packed for my trip home, then drew five thank-you cards for my family members who gave me presents. One gave me chinese toothpaste as a gag gift, and in doing some research, I had to throw it out because apparently China likes to put antifreeze in toothpaste or something like that. Had a lot of fun listening to my uncle practice some music with a couple of his friends as I drew. Dinner was sweet-potato burritos. Not too bad, but I'm still a carnivore at heart. I love how healthy and wholesome my family makes food, but sometimes I still just crave a hotdog.

Raiding went splendidly well tonight. Full cleared Icecrown Citadel 10-man, all four boss-fights. Got enough Frost Emblems to upgrade my belt to the best available, and upgraded my wristguards for extra healing power too. Raid buffed I'm two mana shy of a cool thirty thousand. Combined with 1200 mana per five, it's smooth sailing the whole battle.

After Icecrown, we went through the Trial of the Grand Crusader. Almost made it to Anub'arak with 50 attempts remaining, but a bit of random chance got us killed on our first attempt at the Beasts of Northrend. We're going to try to get Anub'Arak down for the first time this coming Monday, and I hope we do it within four attempts... we've gotten him down to as little as 5% of his health before we got overwhelmed... gonna get him soon.

Tomorrow I head back for home, flying back in around 9pm if I recall. I'd better check the flight times to be sure. Knowing my luck, I'll probably be delayed somewhere. If the option comes up to get some free goodies, I might extend my little vacation an extra day in Atlanta, maybe get to bug Puc and Zim. Doesn't look too likely though.

Anyways, time for sleep. Been a fun and satisfying vacation. Time to get back to Biznis.

Seriously. I LOVED It. Plot is basic. Visually it fucked me and made me squeal like a piggy And being there with someone who actually WORKS and went to school for professional Special effects with CGI. HE knows the trade and he knows bad effects when you see them. He said this was very very well done. People will interpret and subject their opinions on political stances whatnot meh there's POLITICS IN Everything if you look for it hard enough you can take your most treasured story and analyze a few words into obvious political statement of the day. Our lives are immersed in politics. I ts also slight coincidence as movies with a political view cant predict the current recent events of a movie on the year of its release.


I'M a bit peeved if i wanted film crits id read a paid professional film reviewer I usually just wanna know is it good or is it bad, Not giant list of you pretending your the next Furry siskel and Ebert rant. At the end of the day a movie is imagination... FANTASY magic FANTASY, its about as real as an anthropomorphic musclebound 130' wolf eating Detroit. ( I'd rather eat Chicago) ( although a few ranters can have funny moments for comedic value. This is a talent that isn't that common.) The average 12 year old isn't going to care. The average person isn't going to nit pick this hard. It ruins the magic and kills the fun. Sometimes its warranted.. (Micheal bay sucks ) But Sometimes you go to a movie to dream and imagine.. If your goingto go to a movie to imagine and dream and fantasize..

Go see Avatar. If your going to a movie to nit pick and find the flaws so fast and try to dissect it like a frog in biology in grade ten.. Then uhhh well stay home and may i ask why do you go to the movies again?

Everyone take this time while visiting family to upgrade their browser to something other than IE5 or 6.

I love you those who put up with me.. So much

Work tonight would have been out of the question, whether or not we'd been given the day off. Someone got their Nissan 350z stuck in the snow right in front of our drive-way. No way we'll be able to get our car out until the owner can come back and move their vehicle. Besides which, the roads are a disaster; Oklahoma is under a blizzard warning and official state of emergency. There was a 50 car pile up on the I-40 near Midwest City (which is normally about a half hour drive from here) and most of the major highways have been shut down.

So we're just hanging out inside tonight, as was the original plan. Gonna wrap some presents and work on some art I need to get done.

To anyone else this storm has hit or to anyone in the path of it, stay in and stay safe as much as possible.

A bit more of an in-depth look at predator drone video being unencrypted:

And why it is a bit more complicated than first glance might make it.

Four day weekend...HOOOO WAAAAH!

Posting this link for my mother because I think she might get a kick out of it... In the tradition of Ninja Turtle style rap (because obviously this is a must do now for any animal fighting force), it's a G-Force short music video from the DVD release, rap part by "Agent Blaster." It's cheesy, it's silly. I don't care. They're dancing guinea pigs. I love it. Judge me not. LOL

Also, speaking of movies on DVD... 9 will be out next Tuesday the 29th! WHOOOOO! I need to get that and Astro Boy once that's out, as well.


ETA: Well, song was written and produced by Ali Dee. The Speed Racer theme from the new movie, anyone? No wonder it's so damn catchy. >>;;

I want to tell my friends and the people who put up with my BS through my best and worst.. I really love you all. I never say it enough,
Have a safe happy Christmas. Please be very careful A very ugly storm is making its way across the Midwest if you don't have to drive don't and if a blizzard or ice storm is in PROGRESS STAY HOME. I and your familes would rather have you alive this holiday so please be safe.. AND don't drink and drive..


Oh and heh I joined Twitter ( twatter) because peer pressure told me too. Same name same gig. I resist alot of pop trendy stuff And I don't really care for twitts ive read but Il lpost time to time.

Looks like the airlines might have to stare down a $27,500 per passenger fine if a plane sits on the tarmac for more tan 3 hours.

About time.

Too bad the passanger doesn't get the money.

Christmas is working out so far. Visiting the in-laws is surprisingly low-stress. So much so, I am more worried about my own upcoming kooky family issues and travel down to NC.

Tomorrow will be visiting with Sue's nexus of friends and then Christmas day will be a big family gathering where all the neices and nephews get to tear into the presents.

I'm keeping an eye on work as promised, though I will admit my interest is seriously waning.

As a complete other thought, am I the only one who is pretty much annoyed at Jeff Atwood's "Coding Horror" blog? (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/) - First he loses his site because he doesn't to backups - (RAID is a backup? What is this? FurAffinity?) - but now and in-depth post about rebuilding his PC.

Really? This is from the guy who is supposed to be a font of tech wisdom? These are the actions of a novice, not someone to listen to.

So the fiancé and I rented G-Force from a Redbox yesterday and watched it a few hours ago. I mean, really. Like I'm going to pass up a movie about commando guinea pigs? :|

Not the greatest movie ever and at times you could tell they were being kinda tongue-in-cheek and not taking themselves totally seriously when they made this movie, but if it had tried to be all serious it probably would have been terrible. They pretty much understood, "Hey, we're making a movie about talking, secret agent guinea pigs, here." And the guinea pigs were all really cute, the cast they got for this thing was actually kind of impressive and there were a few plot-related elements I didn't see coming.

( And then there was this other element they got in there that just served to make the movie even more fun. )

I will not app a commando guinea pig at the Wake. I will not. Hurr hurr.

I was bored i have the internet.. I watched some videos streaming over the internet.

I saw twilight and new moon. ALL rants ive made about twilight or bitch sessions i have about twilight are true. In a small way the movies were amusing but god it just yeah im so close to going into a tangent.. * counts to ten* No twilight Doesn't reinforce media telling girls to make bad choices in Who they choose to fall for nope nope.. Nope it does not sut killt he established myths of the vampire or were wolf nope..


Ahh i feel better * gags*

After much poking and prodding, I... may or may not have made a Twitter account.

You bastards..

Oh hey, a meme I hijacked from karthur.

1. Name a character I write (or RP).
2. I will give you three facts about them in my own head canon.
3. ????
4. Profit!

My current main list consists of TFA Ratchet, IDW!Sunhunter and Lysander Arleyas (because, hell, why not? OCs are all head canon). I played Landis from Suikoden III at one point, and still play TF OC Communiqué as necessary, as well as a good chunk of the core TFA Autobot cast for private RP stuff. You can ask about any of my former TFBlogs characters... Ratchet, Inferno, Tracks, Jazz, Klank, Steiner, Drakkan, Finch, etc. And if I can't come up with three facts...I'll just give you what I've got. l-lol :|

nightangel422's house burnt to the ground today. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though it's likely that it started in hers and Setno's room via an explosion of some sort.

Two of their cats may be dead, and her rats definitely are. They lost EVERYTHING.

Insurance will rebuild the house, but it will take a year or more. This is where we come in.

I know it's the holidays, and money is tight but if you can spare even a dollar for Sunshadow and Setno and her father and brother, I know that they will be VERY grateful.

I helped Lissa move into that house. I helped her paint her room. When I had to leave a difficult situation, she and her father and brother VERY kindly let me stay there until I moved out to Arizona.

After all of this time...and especially in this weather and at this time of year...I want....I need to give something back.

I hope you will join me in this.
