Ugh. Kind of a lousy night...

 

Played some Halo 2 (made some progress...) and Mass Effect (no progress at all: found myself painted into a corner in an unwinnable battle, so I had to go back to the previous store point... which was basically exactly where I started tonight. Losing at least 2 hours of work, and all the XP and supplies I had gained after that point.)

 

Got some laundry done, though... but when that's the highlight of the day, things are bleak indeed.

 

*Sigh*

 

I have tomorrow off too. Have to try to make something of this weekend before it's gone.

played oblivion for a little bit, then switched over to call of duty 4 for some ground war multiplayer action. (8 vs 8 is freaking insane!) after that i switched over to hardcore, which i like the most, as it doesn't take a million shots in the head to kill the enemy.

 

happy martin luther king jr day everyone!

Started off the morning with CoD4, trying to beat this one mission..it's freakin hard where it checkpointed me, it has me reload my sniper rifle every single time i respawn...so i restarted it all over. got through it fast, but stuck on another area, but this time i'm checkpointed at a decent spot where i can just hide in a corner and wait out the chopper...only prob is, i have to wait about 5 minutes for it to land, then i have to fight my way through....damn grenades get me every time, but this time i've got the RPD instead of the lousy pistol, so it's much more tolerable respawning.

 

went out bowling today. first game sucked, got like an 88. second game i improved alot...137. :) just got back from a restaurant, i had a pork bbq wrap. i'm so full now..

 

My sister asked me last night what i wanted for my birthday, so i was like 'hmm...get me gears of war' so i'm not sure if she got me that or not. we'll see in an hour or so. not that i really care if she gets it for me or not...Turok is out in 2 weeks anyway! if i do get it...that's just one more FPS for me to play online. the more the merrier. :)

Gears of War will probably be my next game purchase too.

 

Everybody raves about the online co-op mode. That's what sold me. I had such a blast working through Halo with help, that I'm looking for any other game that gives that option.

I am in denial about the packers loss. If anything it was the coaches fault in the 4th quarter. Let me get this... you are on your own 10 twice, and you do 6 straight Pass plays all for incompletions. The giants rush 4 and drop back 7 into zone/man coverage. YOu try a couple of screen plays and ONE person cannot be blocked and blows up the play?

 

What ever happened to doing draw plays? and dumping it off to a non-blocking tight end or back?

 

I think this is one superbowl I might not watch. I will get really tired of the Announcers giving verbal fellatio to Tom Brady and Beliceck for 3+ hours.

I'm going to watch it. I mean, if the Patriots lose, as a Dolphins fan, I will be exceedingly happy that Miami would still be the only team to win it all flawlessly. Because if they don't win, they have to try to do it.

 

Again.

 

Good luck, suckers, you cheating b&@#*$%s.

 

That, and watching both Mannings win a Super Bowl back to back to eachother would make for interesting family get togeathers. ;)

Kind of a blah, nothing day... wrapping my dull weekend up on a somewhat sour note.

 

Got a few things done (finished laundry) but I sure didn't have a lot of fun today. Seemed like everything I touched went screwy, and every project I started went totally haywire.

 

Until it got to the point I just gave up all hope on trying to be productive, and just played some games. (Didn't do any good at them, either...)

 

Ah... another long weekend (and very probably my last for a long while, too...) squandered with little-to-nothing to show for it.

 

Yah-hoo.

 

(But that's just how things go in the world of ed sometimes...)

i've started playing GHIII online against some random people to test my l33t guitar skillz, and i'm wondering if there is some unspoken rule about the song "the metal" by Tenacious D. I've played about 5 games against random people, and at least 3 of those times the opponent chose The Metal.

New P.A. was shipped to our hall today.

 

Couldn't resist breaking into the cardboard boxes and looking at (and playing with...) all the new toys.

 

New monitor wedges sound AMAZING! And get SCARY LOUD too! Yikes!

 

The rest of the P.A. components are equally as bitchin'... but those monitors are the proverbial ****!

 

Went after work with a co-worker from another department to look at the new space her church is setting up in, and make some recommendations about what they should do with sound gear and other tech equipment.

 

Hope I was some help.

 

The guys who were there working getting the place ready (incl. the pastor) were pretty cool. Somehow, I started talking XBox with the pastor, and he told me to friend him on Live, to do some Halo 3 head-to-head with him and his kids.

 

Heh... awesome!

 

Riggers are in tomorrow @ 9 to drop the old speakers and hang the new ones.

 

Off to bed. Don't want to miss out on that madness!

 

:joy:

work was boring today. i got to help out electronics though. oh and i had a weird camera return...camera was the same make, but not the same model...and the serial numbers didn't match the box. fun.

 

Got through Kvatch on Oblivion. Levelled up a bit on blade, acrobatics, and destruction. those daedroth are getting easier to kill...there's these annoying spiders that were giving me a hard time though....i'm a level 21...i probably levelled enough in my skills to bring me to level 25 or higher...but i refuse, at least til i NEED to level.

 

My sis didn't get me anything for my bday. o well. I'll just wait for GoW to drop to $30 to buy it. lol

 

tomorrow i workin 12-9.....thursday i'm off, so i'm going w/my mom into town cause her vehicle needs the turn signals checked.

You should come to my church and do that, because our sound system is the biggest piece of **** on earth...or even hell.

Nice of you to delurk, Kylilin...bowling's been keeping me busy of late. Carrying a 164 average in practice & I'm aiming to rejoin a league in the summer. Also managed to lose about 40 lbs. in the last couple of years. And I put a karaoke demo up on my homepage (give me a PM if you want the URL of my homepage, as well as my new bowling blog). :D

Erk! Kylilin! :eek:

 

'Sup?

 

Old PA is down. New PA is hung.

 

Long day. Exhausted.

 

Morning was spent assembling 30 foot scaffolding right at the edge of the 30 foot balcony rail. Some truly intense existential moments when you got to the top of that thing and looked down at the yawning 60' drop beneath you, let me tell you.

 

Old PA was dusty enough to choke an earthworm.

 

Fun day.

 

Now: Eat. Sleep. Work more.
