So, I decided to organize this the way someone else used to do... =D


So, August begins the new financial year! Yay, woo, right? Well, for this first month at work, we have a sales competition; whoever makes the single biggest sale gets a prize!

That's great, since I got three massive sales... on July 31st. -_- I'm going to lose.


The stalker I mentioned in my last post has left me alone, oddly enough. It seems she got bored with me and my constant evasiveness, so she's moved on to other prey. I hope. Chances are, she'll come back to try for me once again, and I'll have to get all creeped out about it.

I saw "The Bourne Ultimatum", yesterday, and just like the first two, it was pretty good! =D Julia Stiles has grown on me, a bit; I really kinda like her, now.

During the movie, however, I started to feel VERY... unwell. I got a dizzy feeling, like when I get motion sickness, as well as this acidic heartburn and tingling from my elbows to my fingers. After the movie, I had some chocolate (thinking low-blood sugar to be a culprit) and lay down. Most of the problems went away, but I STILL have that light-headed feeling. You know the feeling you get when you're sick and lay in bed all day? Yeah, that feeling.


My mother's birthday was yesterday, and I really meant to get her something while I was out... but I got all sick and crap, so I came home. I bought her a gift certificate for Victoria's Secret website; she loves that store, and she's kinda freaked out over how I felt yesterday. She thinks it's my blood pressure... it's possible. I just got a new doctor, so I'll call her this week and schedule my first appointment.


However, before I got sick at the movies, yesterday, a new White Wolf game caught my eye. See, after they released the horrible shit-bomb that they called the "New World of Darkness", I lost a lot of faith in White Wolf. However, this new game "Scion" REALLY appeals to me. I picked it up, and the game is amazing. It runs on something like a cross between the old (better) World of Darkness system and the Exalted system (yay, they brought back the "Appearance" attribute!), and you play children of the Gods. Not, like... made-up Gods for this universe, but you pick real mythological figures; Zeus, Odin, Raiden... and you get traits and powers based on who's kid you are. That is some awesome-cool shit. I just wish I had some people to run a tabletop game with (hint: I'm looking at you, Eirian)!

In Lord of the Rings online, I am progressing slowly, but it's a pace I like; level 13 Loremaster, level 20 Champion/Armsmith, level 14 Burglar/Historian, and a level 14 Captain/Tinker. Just started the Book 1 quests with a group of friends, and I really think this is probably the only MMO worth playing for people who don't like to do mindless grinding and PvP.

My Ragnarok server, Fortuna, is also doing much better, now that I've taken it over. Almost all of the problem players have left of their own volition, and the good players are much happier because of it!


While I was laying sick on my couch yesterday, my friend Mike decided to torture me by turning on the Sci-Fi channel to watch some absolutely awful made-for-crap-tv movie about vampires. I had no idea what was going on, but I've seen elementary school plays with better acting. During one of the commercial breaks, however, I saw a preview for another Sci-Fi "exclusive" gem, in which I heard uttered these words:

"We have an alien-possessed mammoth on the loose--"

There was more after that, but I couldn't stand to listen to it.
