Named after the creator, Mike, four most frequent posters, Brittany, Jason, Anna, Sarah and newest member Dorothy. archives Sunday, May 30, 2004 Amazing how the tiniest thing can pull you back from the brink... posted by Mikael, Shady, God 11:21 PM I have nothing to look forward to this summer. :-/ posted by Mikael, Shady, God 8:42 PM from bash.org... asked was:"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" posted by Jason 1:32 PM Saturday, May 29, 2004 Wow. I'm not even that bad. Dorothy beat me by miles. Its nice not to be the only nieve one. posted by Anonymous 10:51 AM Friday, May 28, 2004 Dorothy Lee is SO sheltered! sweet02killer: robin and i were walking around, trying to find our classes before the start of school sweet02killer: so that we'd have at least a general idea of where to go Shdy314: right sweet02killer: so, we walked by this one place called "Bonner Hall", but one of the Ns was missing sweet02killer: i spot it, b/c i'm looking for landmarks Shdy314: HEHEHEH sweet02killer: and i say to robin, "hey, look! there's boner hall!" sweet02killer: and robin starts cracking up Shdy314: And you actually knew that meant!

Shdy314: I cant believe he stopped you posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:51 PM I've finally decided on a summer job. I'm going to be a dragonslayer. If I charge $10,000 per dragon, I'll only have to slay one or two and I'll be set. Tell me that isn't efficient. posted by Jason 10:47 PM Dorothy had this to say to me... sweet02killer: i wish i were like u =) I dont know what insanity gripped her mind at the time. :) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 7:56 PM If you ever wanted a link to a place with the most useless links on the web... http://shady314.blogspot.com/ ;-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:09 PM If you ever wanted to know the value of pi to a million decimal places, here you go: http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com/ posted by Jason 3:15 PM The Sword Robbers four from hiding they, with fiercesome blade did rush to slay chance passers-by this lonely way. No price too high for some this day. And so a traveler dusty came along that road which had no name. To meet before at heaven's door dark spirits from these robbers four. But all that seems must not so be a mother's tears into the sea. Did ragged coat a secret hide or fate on such a game ride. With movement faster than the eye cloth & severed limb did fly. Must all we by our hand so die once more as dust across the sky. posted by Jason 8:23 AM Thursday, May 27, 2004 Give me a break brit. Here's a good one. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything". posted by Jason 1:56 PM So there are two penguins sitting in a bath tub. One penguin says to the other, "Hey, can you pass me the soap?" The other stops and says to him, "What do you think I am, a radio?" HA HA HA HA! posted by Anonymous 11:34 AM Wednesday, May 26, 2004 I thought Id be excited having a class schedule but it feels like starting work. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 5:48 PM Tuesday, May 25, 2004 ANOTHER blog format change. SHEESH. It gets crappier and crappier. ANYWAYS... SHIT this crappy format totally distracted me and made me forget what I was going to post. Oh well. I'll just add another lame joke. Guy goes to a doctor. He tells the doctor he's having serious problems with his mind. "One minute I'm a wigwam, the next a tepee. A tepee, a wigwam, a tepee, a wigwam." Doctor says,"The problem is you're TWO TENTS." ;-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 7:04 PM Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much but the reception was excellent. posted by Jason 1:50 PM Freaking semester kids. I still have 3 weeks of school. My medical evalutation finally passed through screening, so as long as there is still a scholarship available for me I can get it. Cross your fingers... posted by Jason 7:22 AM Monday, May 24, 2004 Is it summer yet? Feels like summer. I have a new job. I make 7$ an hour doing yard work. It has some benefits. I don't think they outweigh the cons though. But I have steady work again. But doing yard work and then having school on top (which means night classes very likely) is not something I want to do. Or rather something I wont do. I also found out recently I can definitely have my old job back if I ever move back to Fremont. Anyone looking for a roommate? ;-) My life would be much better and much easier If I could get back to Fremont. Think about it. You'd be doing me an immense favor and finally getting out of the house. I could easily chip in 500$ a month for rent. Id go as high as 650. Anything to get me out of this place. I'd live in a small one bedroom apartment with no heat and no furniture. All I need is electricity and cable for the internet. I will live on stale pizza and water. Wow, is that sad that I actually find that incredibly tempting as long as it means I won't live here? Anyone know of a shack or something I could rent? posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:18 PM Sunday, May 23, 2004 In other news: The Draft: Comming soon to men and women near you. http://congress.org/congressorg/issues/alert/?alertid=5834001&content_dir=ua_congressorg Brit doesn't need to worry about this because her health would disqualify her in a second. The rest of us though... Also, I saw the movie Brother Bear last night, and it was REALLY good. Lion King good, if not better. posted by Jason 4:02 PM This morning I woke up at about 7am with an incredible need to go to the bathroom. I put it off for a while (its amazing how long you can hold it when you're half asleep), but finally succumed and went to the BR. I was still half asleep, but I swear I must have been peeing for at least 2 minutes straight. It made me wonder if there was some kind of record for that kind of thing. posted by Jason 3:27 PM Friday, May 21, 2004 All dressed and ready to go. The anticipation of waiting for a date is sometimes too much to take. posted by Anonymous 5:18 PM Thursday, May 20, 2004 I would just like to say that my new car is awesome and I love it. The stick shift thing is a pratice thing. I'm getting there. Give me a couple weeks. Anyway, I'm totally happy about it. And the insurance is way cool. $70 a month. (SO CHEAP!) And this car gets 30 miles to the gallon. I am so so so damn happy right now. And I hate a hot date with Chris tomorrow night. Go me. posted by Anonymous 10:56 PM Ok I need to say just a little bit more on the Angel series finale after having given it some thought. The reason the finale was so great was that 1. it ended true to its roots which was being a champion/hero and fighting "the good fight" and 2. it managed to have an ending both very final and slightly openended. I won't give details to avoid spoilers to Britney and Anna. But yes. I wasn't disappointed by the series finale like I thought I'd be. It felt very... real. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 2:18 AM Wednesday, May 19, 2004 I am getting a new car. :D :D Well, new to me, car. It is a white 1991 Mazda 626 DX. It was 120,000 miles on it, but it runs great and has a long while to go. It is a 5 speed manual like I wanted and is in great condition. Very dirty, but I'll wash it on Friday and that will be better. The really cool thing is the price: $100. Yup. That's it. I am so damn excited. I'm junking my wonderful Jeep tomorrow morning for a little over $200 and picking up my new car tomorrow night. To pass the time, Chris (the new guy) is picking me up in his convertible and we're going to have a movie day. :) Oh. And school is done. Thank god. posted by Anonymous 11:29 PM So Angel. (Comic book guy voice) Best. Series. Finale. EVER. And that's all there is to say about that. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:59 PM I wish choosing a branch in the Army was like choosing a house at Hogwarts, just put a hat on and it tells you where you should go. I keep changing my mind about which branch I want to go into because there is so much to consider. How much risk do I want to have, how comfortable am I with the thought of killing people (and possibly LOTS of people in a branch like field artillery), how much do I want the skills I learn in the Army to apply to a civilian career (Nobody drives tanks in the civilian world, but a Signal officer would have lots of job opportunities). So much to think about... And then of course there is the stuff that's just badass, like Aviation. What's a guy supposed to do? EDIT: One of the biggest problems is that the jobs with the most civilian oriented skills are the boring ones that draw officers from the bottom of the barrel. posted by Jason 9:36 PM Monday, May 17, 2004 Check out this kewl futuristic shit. ;-) http://www.impactlab.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3011 posted by Mikael, Shady, God 4:47 PM Maybe the same way as darts and tazers DUH! :) Now I will try and find the article again. Either the bullet is special in some way (Like some kind of pizoelectric material with the base of a bullet so it can be fired normally but lacking penetrating power)or it simply works like a dart. Remember nonlethal doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 11:36 AM Tazers are meant to be non-lethal, how would bullets accomplish that? posted by Jason 9:25 AM HEHEHEHEH JANKER! Boot Camp must have been hell! :-D Anyways sounds kewl. But forget tazers they are nothing. I read in a science magazine about a company developing electric bullets that work just like them but without the string. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:07 AM Sunday, May 16, 2004 I had a fantastic weekend. A guy named Colonel Janker (an alumni who was attending saturday's festivities, more on that later) came and gave us a briefing friday at noon. He is in charge of a group of scientists that basically come up with new weapons or make old ones better for the entire army. He showed us some gadgets that were really cool, like a tazer that goes on the end of a M-4 (and he demonstrated it too). Friday afternoon I went to see the movie Troy with E'Lise. It was good, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it (matinee). Then... I forget what we did after that... Oh ya! We went to dinner at this chinese place that we like, and it was really good. Then on Saturday, there were 3 ROTC functions. The first was called President's Day review. It's an award ceremony for the cadets. I didn't win anything, but still had a decent time. After that (oh ya, my parents were there too, along with ec) we went to Starbucks and sat around to talk for a while over coffee. Then we went to ec's room to get something, then to my room so I could change out of my uniform, then over to a picnic that was being held for ROTC folk. After some good food, I played volleyball for an hour or so, followed by softball just long enough to hit a stand up triple and then score. After that, it was time for Military Ball, which is like a prom for our commisioning seniors. I had to go early without ec because I was part of the sabre arch team that holds the crossed sabres for the seniors to walk under. E'Lise looked great, and while the food wasn't so great, everything else was. COL Janker spoke again, and gave an amazing speech. I'm going to try to get a copy of it, and if I do I will probably post it here. Today was a pretty lazy day, and the only constructive thing I did was make a resume and apply online to nordstrom (family friend works there, might be able to get me in). I just got back from a thing called Complin, which is a service where monks chant the last prayer session of the day. The music they sing is so beautiful that when I closed my eyes I could imagine that I was in heaven listening to angels. Good stuff. posted by Jason 10:46 PM Saturday, May 15, 2004 You mean DON'T have Bush as their second choice. And sorry, I thought you knew. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 1:21 PM Oh come on sarah. You know the answer. You were in WTP. You are just being contrary. In a two party democratic system like we have only candidates from one of the two major political parties has any hope of garnering enough support for a serious bid at the White House. Even if a third party were to win they would find it very difficult dealing with two incredibly strong political groups controlling the senate and HoR etc. And with how similar our two parties can be this leads to some close votes. especially in certain states that are heavily contested and fought for because they are swing votes. And also of course because of our retarded winner take all system. How many times have we heard "voting for the lesser of two evils?" Too many. A third party need not gather many votes at all. Just enough to tip the scales in a closely contested state thus giving every single electoral vote to the other party. So third party political platforms in America are meant to bring issues to the table of the two major political parties by threatening to split the vote. Ross Perot cost Bush senior his second term. No doubt about it. There is also the recent events of the 2000 election in which Nader directly and irrefutably contributed to Al Gore losing the state of Florida which had enough electoral votes to outcome the entire presidential election one way or the other. How many people honestly think anyone there who voted for Nader had Bush as their second choice? So if Nader hadn't been on the ballot Gore would have had enough votes that the butterlfy ballot crap would have been moot and Gore would have won Florida and conversely the Presidency. I will reserve my opinions on Bush's performance in the White House and only say that many Democrats and Independents are very displeased with it. Kerry vs. Bush will more than likely be a close race just like in 2000 so Democrats are mobilizing now to ensure as few people as possible vote for Nader especially in key swing states where Nader could very likely split the vote once again and keep Bush in office. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 2:26 AM Friday, May 14, 2004 A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. posted by Jason 8:42 AM Thursday, May 13, 2004 Hmmm. Now I wish I could see it just because you don't want me to. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:31 PM Tonight's singing gig (much like last nights) and the outfit I am wearing requires that I go "comando". For some reason, this is way too amusing to me. I even went as far as the make up and jewelery. Should be a good show for an empty audience. (Unlike last night, which was packed and had people outside.) I like even more than none of you will see me like this, even though I am going to love it and have fun because that goes against my wonderful WONDERFUL tomboy image. posted by Anonymous 6:20 PM Sweet, sweet power. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 5:36 PM Wednesday, May 12, 2004 Well I am halfway through First Strike and it is awesome so far. Should come with Warning: Reading this book will increase your cravings for Halo 2 a dangerous amount. ;) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:00 PM Your games are on the way mike. They'll be there friday. posted by Jason 7:58 PM Whoa whoa whoa. I never said you were an opera star, just an opera singer :D posted by Jason 12:54 PM I'd go but... :-/ posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:23 PM I am performing tonight at Mission Pizza. I am going to be singing for a rock gig. Me, the supposed opera star *rolls her eyes*, will be belting out old rock tunes. Go me. And yeah, I'll actually eat some pizza. The songs I know I'm involved in are: Knock on Wood (my solo song) Sweet Dreams Grapevine Runaway Sir Duke Groovin' The other cool thing about this is that I have been recorded onto a live(ish) CD rocking out, just so that I have proof that I can do it. :) So, I'm class, obviously not paying a whole lot of attention even though finals start on Friday. I guess I better go. Glad to see the blog so active again. For a long time there is was a Jason and Brittany thing. Now I just have remember to get over here and read once in a while. posted by Anonymous 9:03 AM Tuesday, May 11, 2004 HMMMM. How the hell did my post end up BEFORE Sarah's. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:08 PM For once! >:^[ GRRR. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:08 PM Don't get me wrong I am not anti-love but why do you need a legal contract with the state to prove that love. Look at how well Susan Sarandon and Tim robbins are together. And they were never officially married. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 5:05 PM I was reading kids quote's with their opinions on love, marriage, science etc. When i saw this one from Freddie. "No age is good to get married at. You gotta be a fool to get married." Freddie is only 6 years old but a wiser man than most. ;-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 11:28 AM Monday, May 10, 2004 I think a good friend is different for different people, because everyone needs something different from friendship. My good friends are people I can relax with and have a good time. Trust is really important too. I think I just need to feel like the person is "on my team." posted by Jason 8:27 AM As some of you may know I like to find out how individuals define relatively abstract concepts like loser or "good friend." Genie said a loser is someone who is too passive,(and I can see that) and arrogant. Which I don't see at all. Might make them a jerk but a loser? And what if their arrogance is justified? Anyways what do you think makes someone a "good friend" and what makes someone a loser? Everyone please respond on this and I'm thinking I may make this sort of thing a regular question. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 1:17 AM If there is destiny or predestination or any of that hokum I don't believe in, then it is that it is so hard to change who we are. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:57 AM Eh. Maybe not grammar but for example you were speaking in first person and then suddenly you referred to yourself in third person. It confused me. As opposed to your Van Helsing post which I was able to follow quite nicely. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:53 AM I would edit it back the orginal form. Sorry my grammar isn't proper enough for you, Mr. High and Mighty. I was trying to convey a feeling...a mood? Show some personality? Blah. Van Helsing was REALLY good. Some plot failures and dialouge pain, but still good. The action was excellent. The chicks were mostly hot. Hugh Jackman is cool (with the hat). There were some spots where the computer animations just didn't hold up, but then there were many places where it was more than made up for it. I wouldn't pay $9.25 to see it in theaters again, but I'd see it at the cheap seats or rent it again. And I think it was worth the money for the first time seeing it. Maybe I'm biased. I did hold Chris's hand most of the time. Anna, a huge part of me is egging you on with the professor. But I know better and you know better. Besides the legal issues...this other person could work out. At least as a distraction, if nothing else. posted by Anonymous 12:42 AM Uh ahem. I was not laughing. I like how someone assumes I'm laughing and everyone takes it as fact. Very nice. I was condemned for something I didn't do and also called gay. God bless free speech. You people are lucky I don't edit your posts. :) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:24 AM Sunday, May 09, 2004 So I downloaded the HalfLife 2 demo trailer... Took more than 5 hours to download the 20 minute video and all I can say is It was worth every second of downloading time. It is without a doubt by far the most impressive engine I have ever seen. Jay if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and download it. I was just in comeplete shock and awe. People on the video were clapping I was clapping. It was beautiful. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:59 PM Thumbs down for the new blogger style. posted by Jason 9:45 PM No, you told me about him Brat. There are just so many grammatical errors I can't make total sense out of either one of those posts. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:30 PM Whoa. What's with the new blogger layout? I don't like it as much. The front page is easier, but on the inside, it is more confusing. Yeah. New boy. I didn't tell you. I only mentioned it in passing to Jason and E'lise. I really didn't know if it had potential then. I didn't talk to the mutual friend until the day after I got back from Seattle. He's a theater guy (are we not surprised?), a geek, and a gammer. Yeah. I have a type. He even calls himself a teddy bear. (SHUT UP, MIKE. I hear you laughing.) We're still at the shy giddy stage though, so things are slow - the way I'd like it to be. I don't know if you'd like him. I would like to think so. He's nice. Smart. Normal. Has many likeable qualities. But I guess that is up to you people. (He drives a WHITE CHRYSLER LE BARON (convertible), just like the one that Cake song. HE HE HE! And he has the extra added bonus of having the buddy christ on his dashboard.) posted by Anonymous 5:35 PM ? o_O ? Huh? posted by Mikael, Shady, God 1:38 PM New boy that I've been daydreaming about- His name is Chris. He's 8 feet tall. No, I'm kidding. He's like 6'6" or something. I dunno. Plenty tall enough for me. And last night, after handing Brittany the alcohol and dancing we got to talking and figured it out. Much hand holding and smiling follows and a movie date tonight. Whee. New relationships are fun. posted by Anonymous 11:14 AM Saturday, May 08, 2004 Well then start thinking about protecting America and not about going home! ;-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:53 PM Nah. After 6 hours of doing this stuff, and after 2 of tactical movement, laying around in the cold, beating through the brush, and running around on the objective, when its over everyone is just thinking about going home. Plus it was dark. I walked right by a "dead" body and didn't see it at one point. posted by Jason 10:11 PM I hate when people don't fess up. But wouldn't it be easy to spot who was missing a rifle???? posted by Mikael, Shady, God 7:24 PM Warning: Very long post. I'm still really tired, so I don't know how coherent this post is going to be, but I thought I'd share my experiences on a field training exercise I went on last night to Ft. Lewis. I'll spare you all the information about planning and rehearsing for our mission (1st Platoon conducts raid at OBJ Dog at 0100 to destroy enemy personel, secure munitions, and confirm or deny the presence of "Uri Notodumski"), because its mostly 4 hours of standing around. The cool part what when I learned how to do room clearing. So, 2200 (10pm) rolls around and we set up security to wait for our foreign contact who will take us to the dropoff point. We have to sneak past a guard post, so after our Platoon leader barters with Khalid about the price we're paying him, we load up into the vans, lay down as best we can, and cover ourselves with ponchos. After a bumpy ride full of Khalid telling us how stupid americans are and regaling us with stories about his wonderful goats, we arrive at the dropoff where we disembark and head off into the woods. Walking around in the woods in the dark is not something I thought I would ever get used to the first time I did it last year, but now I think I have it pretty much figured out and I can pay attention to what's going on around me without falling. And it was such a beautiful night. The moon was at 80% illumination (according to our briefing) and there were only scattered clouds. So we were walking through moonlight forests and plains, all full of tuly-fog, and it was just gorgeous. Anyway, we get to the ORP (objective rally point) and set up security to wait while the PL takes some dudes to go find the objective (PL has to pinpoint it and confirm or deny his plan). Up until this point I had been feeling pretty good. I don't know how long we had been walking, but the one time I looked at my watch in the ORP it said 0:23, or 12:23am. "Pulling security" basically means laying on your stomach with everyone facing out in their "sectors of fire" and watching for bad guys. It was very cold last night because the ground was wet with dew, so that got us all wet, and once we stopped moving we remembered it was like 45 degrees. It was also way past my bedtime, so I dozed off a few times. Finally the leader came back, and we moved out. When we got to the obj, the support squad set up a base of fire, and the assault squad (me included) set up on line to their right. There was a generator going in the camp, and a fire, so we could be pretty sneaky and get up close, plus the ground was like a carpet. So we start sneaking up towards the barbed wire fence which is between us and the camp. At this point, the PL (who is with the assault squad) lets me check things out with his night vision goggles (we had three sets: one with the PL, one with the assistant PL, and one with the guy who had been on point during the movement) so I can get my bearings. Those things are really cool, and SO LIGHT! I swear it was no more than 3 pounds. That't not much weight for a thing that costs $8,000. Anyway, I approach the fence, and crawl through it (only go stuck once) while the PL holds it open for me. Then I start moving into the compound. I can see two guys sitting around the fire, and they've been talking but I haven't been listening, besides to note that the names they address each other with match the names we were given in our intelligence brief as the guys we're after. I get about 5M away from the fence, 20M from the fire, when they turn the generator off. Great, now we can't move. I would find out later that one of our cadets was right in the middle of crossing the barbedwire, and had to just chill on it until the fight started. I knew that the support element was going to open fire at some point, so I just resigned myself to hanging out until that happened. Now that it was quiet and I had nothing to do I listened to the two terrorists. They are both cadre members at SU, so I knew them. And they were being pretty funny. Here is one exchange that almost forced me to laugh out loud: Shurdo Smelbad: Those Americans are so dumb. Uri Notodumski: I know! Yesteraday I rode my camel into town. When a group of soldiers saw me, they said, "Hey look at the asshole on the camel!" So I got down and looked at the camel's asshole. There was nothing unusual about it at all! Stupid americans. So fast forward 10 minutes of waiting until the support element lets fly. At this point, I follow the plan and assault straight away from the fence to the other end of the compound. I find a truck in my way so I just stop there and take cover by it. But no one else was following me! I still don't know what happened, just that I was by myself, which is a bad place to be in combat. Anyway, they finally caught up forming a line perpendicular to the support element so that we could assault through the objective. We do so. Things at this point got a little chaotic. The building we were expecting to be there was really more of a pile of broken wood. I was on the aid&litter team, so when word came that one of our guys was hit, I had to go drag him over to the casualty collection point. You always hear about fog of war, and let me tell you that stuff is thick. We weren't even getting shot at and we were having trouble working things out. It took me a while to find the guy, and then I didn't know where to take him because I had no building to orient myself to (which was how I had set myself to remember during the briefing). So someone had to tell me "BRING HIM HERE!" and point at the ground. So I did that, and rejoined my place on the line. The EPW team (enemy prisoners of war) was searching the dead bodies, and once they consolidated their weapons, they were supposed to put them somewhere where the demo team (me again) could blow them up with my demo charge (which was cleverly disguised to look like a common rock). I was called over to plant the charge, but the only weapons I found were one AK 47, and one RPG. I asked where the rest were and they said they were all there. Riiiiiiight. So I decide to make the most of it and put the charge under the truck where it will get the weapons and the truck. At this point we had been on the objective for 11 minutes or so (time was FLYING), so it was time to bug out. At the PL's call of "fire in the hole 1!" The assualt team headed back to the release point (the place where we regroup before returning to the ORP). At fire in the hole 2, the support team bugged out. At fire in the hole 3, the security elements which had been posted at the road behind the objective bugged out, and I said "PRIMING CHARGE. DEMO OUT," and joined everyone leaving. Now the TAC (I don't know what TAC stands for but hes the cadre who kinda controls the action) said the mission was over and called us over to the fire to talk. It turns out that we had missed a huge stash of weapons, a bunch of rucksacks and bags and all sorts of stuff. Other than that though we had done pretty well. We walked back to the ORP to get our rucksacks, then came back to the objective to wait for the vans to come take us home. As we were waiting around, I got a little more time in on the night vision goggles. So cool! Anyway, we leave. Back at school, it turns out that we are missing one of the rubber ducks (the M16 replicas). This causes MAJ Franz (the TAC, as well as a member of the special forces branch) to get upset. And when MAJ Franz is upset, people die! Well, not really. But they do pushups. And that's what we did. This morning he went back to the fort and found the weapon. Apparently it was on the ground on the objective, and had a footprint on it. I remember seeing a gun, but thinking that it was an AK47 that the bad guys were using and would therefore be picked up by the badguys. Whoops. But that means that some knucklehead got onto the vans without their weapon, which is really stupid, and then didn't fess up about it while we were doing pushups. Grr. Anyway, it was fun. posted by Jason 6:51 PM Friday, May 07, 2004 Well all right. As long as there is more than one beach party then. Multiple ones is good. Then it's more likely that for at least one of them I can make it down. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:32 AM You know what Sarah I say make the beach party near the end of June. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:39 AM Thursday, May 06, 2004 So the Friend's Finale was a really good and well done finale. Very funny, touching and very... final I think. What do you think? posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:16 PM I don't mean to sound arrogant but the test is really no harder than any other community college placement test. So I don't feel a whole lot of pride for doing well. If it were the SAT or something that'd be different. But I am pleased with the score. I too hope you will come see me here sometime. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:32 PM I took the Fresno City College placement test. I got English 1A (the highest there is). With that score and the AP classes I could conceivably end up taking a very very small amount of english GE classes. I scored high enough on Math it was suggested I come take the Algebra test which I will fail miserably. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 3:09 PM Wednesday, May 05, 2004 You can come play it anytime you want. :-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 11:01 PM Yep. Same game. The one you ordered online for me. I don't think I deleted your Kingdom Hearts game. Why? posted by Mikael, Shady, God 7:01 PM X-box KOTOR is old. It came out months before. Hence it is cheaper. PC Came out relatively recently so it's price hasn't dropped. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 5:03 PM I think I'm going to return the c&c games to amazon. Ill have to eat the shipping costs, but it will probably save me about $20. Then when I get done with Iron Storm I'll see where I am money wise and maybe get something else. On amazon, Kotor for PC costs 50 but on xbox its 30. Wtf mates? posted by Jason 3:43 PM You could always trade in the C&C games when you're done. Go to a good video game store and get store credit instead of cash I bet 4 would pretty much do it. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 2:50 PM I'm familiar with PA. And I would have gotten KOTOR long ago if I had the money for it. The C&C games were probably a mistake, but its too late now. They'll be fun. This summer I'll probably get more games, and hopfully a faster processor (1.15Ghz isn't really cutting it anymore). posted by Jason 12:25 PM Very dissapointing J. KOTOR is out for PC you know. And has won so many awards I've lost count. It's the first Star Wars RPG and is also considered one of the best RPGs ever. Period. Tycho at Penny Arcade has the same feelings as me. NO true nerd has not played KOTOR. The PC version has a lot of kewl extra stuff too. http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Screw the C&C games they aren't even on the same level. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:57 AM I still haven't played KOTOR. Currently my list of games to play includes Tribes 2 (it's a free download now so I'm gonna check it out), then once my games get here from amazon I'll have Iron Storm and a bundle of command and conquer games. When I'm done with those it should be summer, I'll be working, and I'll be able to get some of the newer games. posted by Jason 9:44 AM Warning this post will mean nothing to anyone but J. Will wonders never cease! KOTOR 2 is official. Pure luck that I found out. At first I was terrified because Bioware isn't doing it. Obsidian is. I was like Who the Fuck are Obsidian? Then I see the names. Feargus Urquhart, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan, Chris Avellone, and Chris Jones. I hope you recognize at least one of these names J. Most likely Feargus. No? These were the main geniuses behind such games as Fallout 2 and Planescape:Torment! Feargus Urquhart for example was lead designer on both those games. Here's a link for you J. It will be for PC and X-box and released simultaneously. At least that's the current plan. I'm a little teary eyed because I am just so happy. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/rpg/kotor2/preview_6095371.html posted by Mikael, Shady, God 1:55 AM HEHEHE But I love how much it bothers you. But I did spell Brittany right. And No I did not edit it. Sorry about the t in Herz. I always think of Hertz rent a car. Oh and I don't give you peace on anything else? When was the last time I teased you about something? Especially boys. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:19 AM Tuesday, May 04, 2004 You REALLY suck with the name spellings, Mike. Specifically mine. BRITTANY HERZ. Not Britney. Not Britnay. Not Hertz. At least give me the credit of my own name in the right form if you can't give me peace on anything else. posted by Anonymous 11:43 PM 2 times in like 3 years. Big deal. At least I finally got my A. Sarah Ranalli, Brittany Hertz, Jason Hall, and I post here. Change your name to whatever you want. And you said you were going to offer advice on Dorothy. Even though that conflict's over I'd still like to know what you had to say. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:21 PM From Anna Winget: I'm glad to hear your serious about taking some classes. You are so brilliant that it would be a waste for you not to...you really should. You need to write stuff besides on your blog...like immortalize yourself through your brilliant works you know. Sorry to hear the job hunts have been shitty though. Good luck finding one. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:04 PM Why do I have to be poor right now? I want City of heroes so badly. I didn't even realize it was out. So much to catch up on... posted by Mikael, Shady, God 4:42 PM Wow. 11. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:38 PM I'm signing up for 11 classes again. Damn. I am crazy. Check this out: Math 151B Speech 102 Music 110C Music 110L Music 111C Music 160A Music 162F Music 162L Music 166D Music 356 Music 211U I think it is pretty obvious that I am a music major here. posted by Anonymous 11:52 AM You know what pisses me off. It is GODDAMN FUCKING HOT HERE! And we have air conditioning but oh we can't use it because it is too expensive. What fucking shit! posted by Mikael, Shady, God 1:18 AM Like I already told ya. Heaven's A Lie. I've decided it's going to be my new fave song. Replacing Shinedown Fly away from inside. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 12:11 AM Monday, May 03, 2004 I've heard of them, but don't know any of their stuff...suggestions welcome. Jason showed me the Decemberists and I think they were cool, with their vintage sound. Coheed and Cambria is AWESOME. And I'm looking into Yellowcard, which is to have some more punk sound. :) Yay for indie bands! posted by Anonymous 11:52 PM Ok. By a raise of hands who's heard of Lacuna Coil? Uh huh and the answer is not enough people. Maybe I'm just late learning about them and everyone else has but they rock. I am getting their CD Comalies. Maybe Unleashed Memories too. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:40 PM The Dogma of Mask God of Thieves and a Philosophy I personally agree with...to an extent. All that occurs within the shadows is in the purview of Mask. Ownership is nine-tenths of what is right, and ownership is defined as possesion The world belongs to the quick, the smooth tongued, and the light fingered Stealth and wariness are virtues, as are glibness and the skill to say one thing and mean another, twisting a situation to your advantage Wealth rightfully belongs to those who can aquire it Strive to end each day with more wealth than you began it, but steal what is most vital, not everything at hand Honesty is for fools, but apparent honesty is valuable Make every truth seem plausible, and never lie when you can tell the truth but leave a mistaken impression. Subtlety is everything Manipulation is better than force, especially when you can make people think they have done something on their own initiative Never do the obvious except to conceal something else Trust in the shadows, for the bright way makes you an easy target Thanks for getting that for me Jaysen/Fenris. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 8:09 PM Anna had this to say to me today. DiViNeHoLLyWoOd: you too mike DiViNeHoLLyWoOd: ur so manly lol DiViNeHoLLyWoOd: :-D DiViNeHoLLyWoOd: have a good night DiViNeHoLLyWoOd: DiViNeHoLLyWoOd signed off at 5:51:55 PM. I'd feel a whole lot better if she wasn't laughing while she said it. :-( (Cries like a little girl.) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:01 PM Well you know me I always have SOMETHING to say. ;-) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 9:39 AM Damn. I go away for four days and EVERYONE has something to say. I'm glad you liked Beni Hana's, Jason. You, E'lise and I would have gone, but she had already made the plans when I thought of it. :) Seattle was great. Still didn't rain, dammit. But I did get a cup of chai from Seattle's Best, because I thought I should try it, since they are are such coffee people up there. It was good. AHH! I have Amy Brown's book!!! Happy me. I've gone through it twice and I'm still finding stuff I didn't see before. :) Beaches are nice. I have no car though. And I have no time. Errr. But here I am, cutting classes so that I can have more time, so maybe I can work something out. E'lise rocks. I'm her new best friend. ;) posted by Anonymous 9:36 AM Book of Exalted Deeds was the dnd book I got. posted by Jason 7:58 AM Sunday, May 02, 2004 You know if you can see a difference in skin color in under 24 hours you've damaged your skin? And every time you damage your skin your risk of skin cancer jumps noticeably. :) Just food for thought. I have no idea if that time will be good for me but it's better than any other time. End of May is better than June for me. Even if I was free time wise though I may not have the money/means. I'll certainly try to make it. The weedeater is the bane of my existence because it is the most evil creation in existence. There has to be some engineer somewhere out there somewhere in the world that can make a better weedeater than what we've got. It's like dentistry. Shouldn't all dentists have the laser by now. Last time I went for the first time ever my dentist had the laser to use on me. Very kewl. Weedeaters should have gotten their lasers (metaphorically) years ago. Instead here I am trying to cut the weeds around my house for fire code reasons when I end up after a few minutes use having to work on the cable. That takes half an hour because it keeps falling apart and the cable doesn't stay wound etc. Then after this crap I start it up again 1 minute later it just stops. Haven't gotten it working since and I've tried/checked everything(2 hours). Since when are you evil Sarah? How did April like the picture of you resisting her advances? :) posted by Mikael, Shady, God 10:12 PM What DnD book? Names people NAMES. posted by Mikael, Shady, God 3:58 PM E'Lise took me to Bennihanna's last night for my bday. Good times. Then today I slept in until around 1. I decided it was time to break my streak of not sleeping in for 3-4 weeks. Aaaaand, yesterday at Pike Place I got a DnD book for $17 that usualy goes for around $35. I've had a great week. posted by Jason 2:29 PM Saturday, May 01, 2004 Let me just say I hate weedeaters. I hate them. I HATE them. I HATE THEM! posted by Mikael, Shady, God 6:05 PM |
