I almost got smoked by a van (or a truck? I didn't actually see it) yesterday.
I was crossing main street at the crosswalk, and the driver decided that he'd try to make a left-hand turn BEFORE the oncoming traffic instead of waiting his turn.
Whee.

was the driver an American by any chance?

Of course I was up late playing WoW. I think I'm going to make my undead my main. I'm having so much more fun playing as a nasty walking corpse with a huge fucking sword.

I did a /silly and he said; "I'm dead, and I'm pissed" I was hooked.

I'm still going to play my Night Elf, just not quite as much as my nasty Undead warrior

Hiking in Alaska again yesterday. That was fun. We also went scampering through the rocks along the shore and I bashed/scraped my leg on one. Mmm. Stingy.
And in other news, my best friend's finally getting his website up and going.
Hooray for Kid Continuity!
It'll be good. You'll see.
(ps: I'm in that picture.)

Ok, its installed and all patched up, but I do need to know which server you're on so we can play together.

I'm going to go start a goof off character to get a feel for the game now

Wheee! biggrin

Ok, I've got a level 7 night elf warrior on the perenolde server

My weekend:
Drank some wine (pinot gris from Argentina. Not my favourite), played a lot of World of Warcraft (Heddie the hunter dwarf is now up to level 17), went to the new yarn store and managed to knit myself one legwarmer, which I'm wearing right now.
I like it so much that I'm going to buy enough yarn to knit three pairs in three...

sounds like a nice weekend! I would have chosen a nice riesling though, but that's just me and I like sweet wine.

I cannot tell what the little symbol is, and I have a feeling that you may have told me about it before, which makes me feel double dumb frown

The World of Warcraft box now talks to me every time I see it in the store. It tries to seduce me, promising me bountiful and unimaginable pleasures. When I begin to walk away, it starts with the peer pressure. I will crack soon.....

Thanks for the support! smile

I was very sad and very angry last night.
I'm still sad and angry, but we're going to see what I can do about that.
Better living through chemistry.

Do you have Xfire installed on your computer?
guidedbyvices:
Xfire is like a gamers instant messenger. You can see what your freinds are playing and what server they are in, and although I haven't tried it, I think you can send IM's while playing

I'm assuming you're from Winnipeg and your political leanings are to the radical left?
sovietcanada:
Too socialist? Pah! We need more. We need to build ourselves on the Scandinavian model. Mmmm yeah. Socialism at its finest.

Well, then.
I'll replace my worry with this:
1. World of Warcraft kicks ass.
2. My boss and a gentleman that we do business with in the south were discussing over the phone how hot I was today. But that's ok, because I'm a little in love with the guy we do business with in the south (because he is hardcore good at his job...

World of Warcraft.... I can't wait to finish school so I can start playing games like that again.

My friend across the pond tells me that PvP honour system is online for WoW Europe. Is it in effect here too?

So, there's this wicked-bad flu going around and of course I got it.
It's not a stomach flu, it's a flu that masquerades as the Lung Infecting Ear-Drum Death. I spent the first three days trying my damnedest to expel my lungs and the last two hearing a constant white noise. Luckily, though, the lungs seem to be getting rid of whatever nastiness is inside...

"Britain, Britain, Britain
There are three things you should know about Britain;
It is a country
It is called Britain
Britain"

hehe I lifted that from a britcom called "Little Britain" The lines above are spoken by the narrator, none other than Tom Baker

But seriously, If I could be living over there right now, I'd start in London. I'm familiar with the city and I know people there. Then I'd find a small country village and promplty begin my duties as village drunkard/idiot

Sorry to hear you're ill, but it seems the snapple and cold medication diet is doing you just. Did you get all your Sam Kieth books?

A DVD recommendation: Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. If you've seen it, nevermind. If not, rent it and pee yourself laughing

Little Britian is too funny. I'm burning both seasons of it for a friend right now.

My spring is getting better. We had a couple of really rainy days that oddly enough perked me up and got me going a bit. Still, motivation in general is fleeting. I also have yet to see a Darth Tater on a store shelf. Thats ok though, because I did find a Return of the Jedi poster signed by David Prowse. He wrote; "The force is strong in you, Darth Vader" then signed his name. So cheesy. So cool.

Misson Hill? Tell me more

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm leaning towards music business because my pal in London has a label going and I'm on the shortlist for employees should the venture take off

The second season isn't out on DVD yet. I used bit torrent to download the episodes

hoo, I was drunk when I wrote that last night. I don't remember writing all that Jesus and video games shit....

I'm in an argument in a forum in which I post regularily. It's a fan forum and the argument's going something like this:
Somebody posted about Save Toby, to which the host replied that it was stupid and then proceeded to rant about Schiavo and Congress. Some people tried to find out where the rant was coming from and then were met with a...

Ugh! The politics.

It's been a busy week of video games and drinking with my pal from England, but I'll tell you all about the totally rad PSP I bought very soon

World of Warcraft, eh? Yet another person I know who is falling to the great evil. I'm kidding, that game is supposed to be big fuck off fun! If I weren't such a counter strike junkie and a new PSP owner, I'd prolly play too smile

Talk at ya soon, got a financial aid meeting in an hour and then it's off too see Sin City!

AND it's spring!
AND in two weeks today, it'll be Funday, April 3nd, which means that I'll be spending the entire day with my best friend, one Mr. Kid Continuty, plus doing all of the things I like* AND hanging out with all my other friends.
In WINNIPEG!
I am very much looking forward to getting the fuck out of Dodge. Or Whitehorse, as it...

That's one big fuck off fun day! How on earth will you fit it all in? eeek

I should just drive up to the border for crunchies, and to say that I've been to Canada since I've never been. Sounds like a nice plan for a weekend in the near future.

Have you seen "Dead Like Me"? If not, rent it. You'll enjoy it. A lot smile
guidedbyvices:
No particular reason I thought you'd like Dead Like Me. I just finally bought the first season after watching the Wonderfalls set and I've been recommending it to everyone.

Everyone I know (all 4 of them) had never heard of the program surreal

Anyway, didn't know if you had seen it or not and thought I would spread the word.

I haven't seen season two yet, but I'm dissapointed in the cancellation.

Oh yeah, what are Matchmakers?

My friend Duncan is fine. We got very intoxicated last night, and he got laid! After three trips to the US and now, finally, he gets some. We're so terribly proud of him.

He brought me two very large Cadbury's chocolate bars with Crunchie bits. I shared half of one with everyone at the party last night but the rest is all mine!

Spaced is about, well, let me copy the back of the box;

"Spaced revolves around two idle twentysomthing flatmates- immature skateboarding would-be comic artist Tim (Simon Pegg), and moody, responsibilty shy writer Daisy (Jessica Stevenson), and their self induced lack of success in employment, relationships and life in general. Together with their odball assortment of friends and nieghbours: Marsha, Brian, Mike, and Twist, they exist in a world perched precariously on the edge of normality"

Ok, crap description. Tim and Daisy fake being a couple in order to rent a nice cheap flat in north London. I've only watched the first two episodes, but a good portion of the comedy comes from geek references. The cover of the box is a spoof of a Star Wars poster with the cast.

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been released over here with the popularity of Shaun of the Dead
