Hello All!
Sorry I haven't posted in so long it has just been crazy busy here.
I'm not sure if I told you all yet but my job at Apple got extended! It was only supposed to be a year but they kept a few of us on for another semester. Which means I got a raise and a chance to extend again after this semester if all goes well. The only thing is, and why I haven't been on in so long, they have me working at 5:30 am. My body is finally getting use to it but now 5pm feels like 9.
Also I went to go see The Devil's Carnival while it was here! They are doing an encore tour so I suggest if it comes back around to Sacramento, or where ever you are located, you go see it. It is the same people who did Repo! The Genetic Opera so you know it will be good. And it's an actual show not just a movie. So there are costume contests and guests from the film etc.. While I was there I got to meet Emilie Autumn! I love her! So talented and so beautiful. She's a classically trained violinist who also plays Goth/Industrial music. I also got a poster of her character from the movie signed along with the sound track. Pictures and links below.

I'll try and make the rest short here. Mainly just photos and tags.
There was my friend Rob's birthday.
My friend Fatty and his girlfriend came down for a few beers. I hadn't seen them in a really long time and they were passing through Sac during the eclipse so it was really good to see them
We've started have a game night here at the apartment finally! Last time it was Munchkin and Taboo and next time will most likely be Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan. Sadly the only picture of game night I have is of all the booze we bought for that evening
One of my new favorite beers here:
Pops went hunting so we have a freezer full of venison. So two nights ago we had venison and yellow potatoes. The deer was cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, rosemary and butter. It was damn tasty.
Even if you don't know who Jenny Lawson is (The Bloggess) you should read this book. It's nice to know there is another crazy out there. I laughed out loud so many times while reading this book.
I'm sorry world but I had to buy this game. I'm a big fan of all things ridiculous and this is full of it.
I've also been running though the Penny Arcade RPG's On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness in order to justify the 3rd one which they decided to make as a 16 bit RPG which make the little nerd in me squeal with joy.
As a side not to that a couple of friends want me to play Vampire: The Eulogy as a LARP with them. Not sure how I feel about that. I love PNPRPGs but have always shied away from that one. I've heard way to many horror stories about that game from my other PNPRPG friends. The people who are playing it are cool so I know there won't be any crazies so I might give it a shot. It's like one or two nights a month. If I do I'll let you all know so if they find my body in the Sacramento river you'll know why.
And lastly I'm totally addicted to Downton Abby. I'm not ashamed of it! Ok maybe just a little ashamed. But it's so addicting and, believe me, there are worse shows I watch.
And speaking of worse shows, WHY THE FUCK is Tara still alive! Come on True Blood. I was so happy she was gone. She is the most annoying character on that damn show.
Alright I believe that is all for now. I'll try and catch up on everyone's blogs but I'll probably just clear my inbox, which is going to take me like an hour, and then just start reading them from today on. I hope this finds everyone well!

I actually meant the west coast of FL. Hopefully some day I'll be able to say CA, though! Hoping to make it out there sooner than later.
