    When Did I get so old?!?
    Rant On:

    What the f$%# is it with people in movies these days? The last THREE movies I went to I had to speak to someone about their f%$%in cell phone usage. Yes, your texting does bother me, as the light in my pererphial vision pulls my attention from the screen where it belongs. If it weren't for my politeness inspiring girlfriend, I would be much louder and ruder about asking you to shove that device into one of your fleshy ninja pockets. Can we not cut ourselves off from the world for two hours without having the need to send communication spewage to others?

    What I want: You to do what I do, and turn the f$#%in device off for the requisite 2 hours of media consuming.

    What I would be happy to settle for: You turning the phone to vibrate, and exiting the theater to answer it if it calls attention to itself during the movie.

    What I dream for: The right to forcibly insert the device into your temple, accidentally converting you into a meat puppet due to the chosen entry location.

    /Rant Off

    I so want to go see Up. Why do I think I will end up being like the Ed Asner Character if I get to grow up?

    Yarg.

    Star Trek - I don't know if I loved to hate it or hated to love it. I was amused. I would (and will) watch spin-offs if the chance rises. Hell, I was *that* guy in a red shirt in the audience.

    But it will never be *my* Star Trek.

    Reference Librarians and Booksellers Unite!
    We have all had them. The "looking for a book I think it's blue" crowd. My co-worker at the library came into work to find a note on her desk, which is most likely a fictional combination of our "blue-ie" customer/patrons. I found it amusing enough to share.

    Clovis -
    I am looking for a book. I don't know
    the name of the book, but it's by
    someone who's first name starts with M.
    Its relatively new..It was written in the
    last 20 years. Oh, and the cover has
    a lot of clouds on it, but that might
    be the old addition. A bum recommended it
    to me, so maybe wasn't good at reading
    and got "M" mixed up with "W". I dunno,
    Maybe you could find it?

    Its going around
    So after a long session of almost not getting my homework done I had a bad dream.
    It was one of those zombie dream where I became isolated and alone. I lost all hope and went to kill myself, by setting myself on fire. Despite several attempts of lighting myself, the flame would catch then go out, leaving me soaked in flammible liquid.The odd thing, even though I was alone, someone kept handing me matches....

    For Ben Mostly...
    After a rough morning meeting with the Supe, I went to lunch. Out of reading material, I grabbed the box of On The Edge Cut Ups boosters to paw through as I ate my protein platter.
    The first pack I opened had "Doc" Cross in it.

    I promptly put the cards back in the wrapper and put closed the box, the rest of the packs unopened.

    I mean sheesh... I know the dude. :-P

    Dream Time....
    I was looking for housing. Other then the possibility for her, I can not guess why as I am pretty happy in the house I am in now. IT started out I was looking at stand alone houses, which soon changed to condos, then to dorms, then ended with a giant warehouse with cubical walls. In each cubical were two weight benches sans weights, that I guess were intended for beds. There was no room in each cubicle for chairs, desks, let alone anything else.

    Needless to say, I did not make a deposit.

    ...

    I enter the next few days in trepidation, for the darkness has not closed in many a moon. Good sign? We can only hope. It has been years since it has been this long between, and I can *never* hope for nor claim a cure. Does this mean the next snap will be vicious? Or does it mean the last was a light caress missed within the cacophony of attention elsewhere?

    ...

    I have coke in a tall glass and it is good.

    Princess Bride Meme
    Fezzik: We face each other as god intended; sportsman-like...no tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
    Man in black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
    Fezzik: [holding up a large rock] I could kill you now...
    Man in black: Frankly, I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.
    Fezzik: It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.
    [The Man in black charges Fezzik, but cannot knock him down]
    Man in black: [agitated] Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what?
    Fezzik: I just want you to feel you are doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed. [Fezzik grasps at him, but misses] You're quick!
    Man in black: Good thing too.
    Fezzik: [swinging at the man in black] Why are you wearing a mask? Were you burned by acid or something like that?
    Man in black: Oh no, it's just they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
    [The Man in black manages to jump onto Fezzik's back, and tries to choke him. Fezzik pushes his back against a boulder, almost knocking the wind out of the Man in black]
    Fezzik: I just figured out why you would give me so much trouble.
    Man in black: Why is that, do you think?
    Fezzik: Well, I haven't fought just one person for so long...[struggles more with the man in black]...I've been specializing in groups, fighting gangs for local charities...that kind of thing.
    Man in black: Why should that make such a [crash! pause] difference?
    Fezzik: [slowing down] You see, you use different moves when you're fighting half a dozen people, then when you only have to worry about one.
    [Fezzik falls to the ground, unconscious. The Man in black checks to see if he is still alive.]

    Damned if you do...Damned if you don't.
    I am a fool.

    She is not here, so I can concentrate. So I can get it done.

    So far... 3 hours in today... and what do I have to show for it?

    Nada.

    For want of focus, I am not.

    Is the path ever, ever going to be properly lit?

    Yeah yeah yeah! At midnight! Thats when the bombing will strike...
    So I had a dream last night. I won, or purchased a metric assload of laserdiscs. They were delivered by an old man who resembled Harold Huber, the back door neighbor to the house I grew up in. Thankfully there was a player for the discs in the delivery or I don't know what I would have done. "The movies go up to robocop 3" he told me...though I am not sure why that was important. Supposedly I thought the image quality on the laser discs was better then DVd for whatever reason.

    Then it got stranger. I woke up after we started "quantum LARPing"

    Near as I could figure, quantum LARPing was the flash mob equivlent to LARPing. Time continuty of scenes was supposed to be mixed up, ala Pulp Fiction, Resivor Dogs. Players would not necessarily be playing in the same world universe or game systems, so results would be chaotic and random. Obviously with the time disjoint effect, if your character was 'killed' it was still playable as other scenes could take place from before the time of passing. Since somebody started doing it with me and I seamed to be at a con, I just went with it.

    How was your sleep?

    Meh.
    Two weeks out. Those who know me, know the drill. I understand its not for me, that its a piece of the whole everyone social thing...but yeah.

    Those who are new friends or have forgotten.. This is a preemptive thanks and all that, but I am not real receptive in and around the event itself. Yes it occurs...and its not that I hate it itself, but yeah.

    Phbt.

    I am a consumer whore. <- Quoting me on this will yield nothing but growly responses.

    I bought it for...uh....research yeah. Okay, I bought it for Rockband and Dead Rising.

    But I would love game suggestions.

    Gnat is a twitch monkey with games, prefers not to play FPS, but loves them 3rd person view slugfests (Action/rpg. not so much tournament fightin) that don't take mondo skills.
    Favorite genres are Horror and fantasy, but comical Destroy all human feel will not be snarfed at.
    (Or be a Jedi, thos would be ok.)

    (Bioshock is on my list of to gets)

    Thank you, and back to your regular program.
