So yeah, I totally got sucked in there...

I've been playing WoW. Way too much. But today I haven't even signed on. I think I need to make sure I have at least 1 WoW-free day a week.

I also got Little Big Planet--which may be the most awesomely awesome game ever. Play it. Even better, play it with friends.

I'm behind in my studies of the Craft. I let myself get distracted. But I'm back on track now.

Otherwise, the start of the new year came and went. No promises, no goals, no expectations. I just want to enjoy life right now.

Randomnosity!

• My brother let me play a death knight on his account in WoW. I feel like an addict whose been given a shitload of their drug of choice. I kid you not, 20 minutes later and I'm shaking with withdrawal.
• Can I say that this makes me so fucking happy! Stupid dolls.
• Damn it all! Will Congress get over it already and just give the Chrysler and GM a bailout. Yes, we know--you fucked up with financial industry bailout. Not giving one to them is just going to fuck over more people. Maybe if you hadn't fucked up with the banks, the banks could be giving them loans right now instead of you.
• And on something slightly tangential--will everyone stop saying "The Big Three". In case anyone noticed, Ford has stepped out of this whole mess.
• What the hell is going on Canada?
• My house is clean. Very very clean and ready to decorate for Christmas.
• Viva la Revolucion
• Yes, I've been wasting a lot of time lately. I haven't been writing as much as I should. I haven't been working as much as I could. But I've devoted myself to my studies and they are going well. Baby steps mind you, but I think I'm at least standing now.
• Honestly, life is good right now. I count my blessings and thank the Goddess!

Who does a better Palin spoof?

I didn't realize how dead on Tina Fey was until I saw this.

And I Hate When Things Are Over...

...And so much is left undone.

I keep catching that song on the radio which is odd because it an older song.

Anyways, the lyric seemed appropriate as my long term sub job is about to come to an end. My last day is Wednesday, then its back to good old one-day-at-a-time subbing. Its kind of bittersweet for me. On the one hand, once this is over I'll have more time to myself. No more grading papers or writing lessons plans or stressing out all night about what I'm doing the next day. On the other hand, I really enjoyed being a regular classroom teacher again and actually teaching, as opposed to the babysitting I normally end up doing. I guess the final straw that tips more towards sweet and less toward bitter is that I wasn't getting paid the same as a normal classroom teacher.

In other news, Warhammer Online came out....and yes, I got a copy. And yes, I'm already playing it way too much. I like it better than I liked WoW. But keep in mind, that comparison is between WoW in its current state an WAR in its just beginning state. It would be harder to make comparisons between WoW at the beginning and WAR.

Still, hopefully I won't neglect DoI. Chapter 10 is at a "good part" as it were.

Make it so...

A Star Trek MMO?

I have to admit, I kind of lost interest in Star Trek after Voyager. I'm sure I'm not the only one. While the upcoming movie has my interest piqued (mostly because of the casting of Simon Pegg as Scotty), I most figured the best of Star Trek had come and gone.

However, I'm very interested in it as an MMO. Maybe its just the gamer in me. I've always wanted to see a "good" space themed MMO (not the fiasco Star Wars Galaxies turned out to be or how they ruined Tabula Rasa). It sounds like the avoiding one of Galaxies major pitfalls by making everyone a captain straight out of the gate. And the idea of creating your own race is very interesting....

I'd have to wait til the beta comes out to make a better judgement, but this one I'll probably keep my eye on.
