Yup, i am older.
Will got me Metroid The other M for my birthday. Mom's present to me was a weekend of doing nothing; which i needed.
It's been awhile since i pulled an all nighter playing a game; but i beat the game with %100 completion. The story of the game was very good, as were the visuals of the cut scenes. *spoilers* It was more like playing a movie with a game in it, which is an interesting way for a game to go. Some people don't care for it but i like it. The game play and mechanics however, suck. As far as game play, this is the worst metroid game ever. It was not a true 3-d game like the last few metroids, it was more iso-morphic which i hate and the developers did some really bone head things. Like putting you in a situation with a boss where you have zero idea how to beat the thing. After dying endless times you start mashing the buttons randomly or beat the controller against your head until something happens and it's like "oh! now i know what to do". The way they handled using the wiimote was horrid for game play, having to constantly move the controller from two handed horizontal to one handed vertical caused tons of issues and when you did go from iso-morphic view to first person you always seemed to be looking in the wrong direction from where you were...a real problem when you are battling a 6 story bad guy that can kill you faster than you can say "oh shit!"

Got Ubuntu and OSX to play nice on the Macbook.
(^__^)
Still needs a little work, like a new battery and figure out why the screen back light

Well it's Remicade time again.

The Macbook is not playing nice; Ubuntu hangs when booting the live CD, might be the version. I will try 10 instead of 11. Or its the fact that the battery is completely dead

nothing else going on, worked this weekend on some drywall in the house. Its almost all done, not much really left on the house to finish. Still very financially challanged...I don't really see any way out of it.

My Wuf is doing okay at work and School but it's taking its toll. I have confidence in him however.

so, i inherited moms MacBook...hrmm...what to do with it.

I know! I will dual boot it to MacOS and Ubuntu Linux!

sucks kinda...i am on call for the entire month
I would not mind it for A trial but not a whole month of them

okay..so once again i am going to try and customize my Avatar in SecondLife, since i got a new one...trying to figure it out with a 2d program is not working so i thought i would try Blender again, installed just fine but will not install the SL Primstar scripts. no, they are for a previous version of Blender..okay...so i DL the previous version but it will not install because my version pf Python is to new, i install the older version, but blender still says i need it...fuck!

well..seems i need to do something with my 401K i still have with the place i used to work with or on Sept. 30th they will steal it...wonderful, more crap to figger out

This thing doesn't update itself!

I had a whole wall of text for here, but i seem to have forgotten most of it so here are the updates for you.

School, it came, it went i was bored
Work, apparently nothing much happened, thats good.
We took 2 friends with us to the club in L-ville, i got us a nice suite and we had a blast.
oh, yes!...Will asked me to marry him. (*^_^*)
We need to figure out the rings, and it's going to happen next year as we want to go off and have a vacation this year.

i think i have the flu. Google says if you get the flu in the summer it's prolly H1N1.

Joy...hope it goes away real soon as its stupid at work and i have to go back to Chicago Sunday for another week of learning shit.

Will had fun on the 4th with his family but my poor Wuf got sunburnt
I stayed home and with my brothers help, did some drywall.

i was enjoying myself here at school learning new things...until today.

The boss is all in a fit over one of my techs breaking a gear...things happen, we learn from them and move on.
I am not reprimanding him for a mistake; if we did that every time something happened, we would have no techs.

I have broken stuff, i'll break stuff again. It's the nature of the job and the last time he broke something was 8 months ago. WTF!

Well, it's official. We are now a Toshiba dealership. I get to run off to the first school because they need it NOW. and by now i mean i leave Sunday for a week in Chicago...joy (-_-)

Copiers are so much of a different beast than postage equipment, the boss is going to have a hard time understanding that and I will have a hard time teaching her.

i wonder if i win, will i let work know or just not show up...

Busy week, had one Tech off at school (he did quite well). This week is being busy too, and yet somehow i am supposed to find time to burn through about 5 CBT's (computer based training) prereq's for our new Toshiba line...yeah...right

sooo...Dad gave me his old table saw. Craftsman circa 1970
It...needs a bit of work.
Found one part on ebay for $26.
Needs a new blade arbor and shaft, the original has a bit of a bend in to due to the pully being mostly shot and dad's Yankee engineering. Also the original rip fence sucks but it will take a modern fence. All-in-all my research shows that for a 40 year old saw, people in the woodworking hobby are still using them. For a few hundred bucks, i'll have a nice saw (^_^)
thanks dad

stormity storm storm.

no damage here, but others did not fair so well.

Nothing else really going on other than work driving me crazy and being poor...nothing changed.

Remicade time that i can't afford.

...I guess i'll have to get Prince a plushie of his own, because i can't get him to stop humping my wolf plush..not that i mind so much but he never cleans him up after he has had his way with him and i am left to snuggle a plushie with a wet tail...
