http://www.cad-comic.com/news.php?i=1387
and now i can't help but wonder if it is my Destiny to get this Planet Earth Thing, I mean, my roommate gave me $200 bucks yesterday. one of the reasons i didnt pick up the show yesterday was a lack of immediate funds..... now I have 200 bucks in my pocket, and by the end of the day, i will probably have 100 bucks, and the Blu-ray of Planet Earth...
Isn't Destiny Great?

So, i have mentioned previously that I had gotten a big 65" TV... and I have been trying to really grasp what I can do with it. I got it so that I could utilize some of the other gadgets i own better, but I think I have overshot that goal. my wii, and my xbox 360 are underqualified now. My TV can handle all the way up to 1080p but neither of them can handle/output that high of a resolution. that leaves my PS3 which can totally handle it. problem there is that I don't really like the PS3 yet, so I shun it, not unlike a child would a "Charlie in a Box" It has Blu-ray tho, which i do like, More so than HD-DVD. Blu -ray is better, but i dont think it will win the war.
Along these same lines, my new roommate has introduced me to "Planet Earth" a documentary on Discovery. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/planet-earth/planet-earth.html
I saw it at best buy yesterday, on Blu-Ray, in 1080p... I will probably buy it in the next week or so...It will be so pretty...
ya, not much to say today....
anyway.

I am looking forward to the weekend. I have a date on Friday with what appears to be a Wonderful Woman. we have been chatting everyday now for about a week and a half, and so far she is awesome. We are going to go see a play and then find somewhere to hang out and talk until we get sleepy. I have been looking forward to this all week.
also on the docket for the weekend is a new Larp i have been anticipating for a few months now. i have some last minute costuming requirements to take care of on saturday, and a friend of mine is making me some weapons. i am beside myself with anticipation of this weekend. giggity.
Next week however, is filling me with Dread.... Boss number 1 is out of town on his honeymoon until next thursday. i just found out that Boss Number 2 is leaving on sunday and wont be back until next thursday. and to top it off, the last person on my team is married to Boss number 2, so she is going with him, and wont be back until thursday... so next week i am covering for 3 people....
harumph!!

So, i got a new TV this weekend. its a 1080p 65" HD DLP projection TV. I have hooked all of my toys up to it, and have been enjoying it greatly. i have been going back and playing some of my older games, just to see them in super size. there is so much TV i dont really know what to do with it. i know i am going to have to get HDTV now. regular cable looks really crappy on the big screen. and before you say it, no, i didnt get the tv to watch cable, i got it to utilize the capabilities of my ps3 and xbox, which until now, i felt like i was wasting. so, ya, just checking in. i am going to go back to making out with my TV now.

So much is going on in my life right now. My cousin has left, and with him a lot of negativity has left my life. I never really realized just how much he was dragging down my life. its almost like i see things in a different light now. I find that i stop to smell the roses more now than i ever did. i find myself looking at the world around me and marveling in all that there is to see.
Work is looking up. i got a nice bonus and a raise. i have moved to 5 minutes from where i work, so it is painless getting to work. no traffic is a good thing. traffic in the morning can really jam up your day.
also, with the departure of my cousin and his little contagious black clouds, i feel the need to seek romance. I am not really sure exactly where i will find it, but i am looking.
so, yea. hope to not be a stranger.

So, i just got my hat. I frickin LOVE this hat. i wear it everywhere. i wear it when i play video games, when i drive, at work. the hardest part was figuring out how to sleep with out messing it up. ^_^ It is so sweet. i really cant put into words the way i feel about this hat. I have never been one of those guys who likes to look at himself in the mirror and flex or any of that kind of crap, until now. . . >.> i find myself lately walking next to cars or windows just to see my reflection. CUZ THIS HAT IS SO COOL!!!1!!1!11!!shift one!!

So, I dont really have time to write a bunch, so, let me just say i am stressed out, my sales guy has gone out of twon for two days work related and one day just cuz he didnt want to work today. i am in the middle of 2 rush jobs and one job that the customer is unhappy with art on. I am not supposed to deal with the customers. i am generally supposed to manage projects. so, i have been managing both for these past three days, and it is stressing me out. when stressed, i usually eat, or buy things(both bad ideas).
I have bought:
a boffer hammer
a boffer short sword
a boffer turtle shell shield
a fedora
a larp mask
paid for my car($500 in repairs)
13 boxes of girlscout cookies
$75 bucks worth of iTunes media
. . .
wow...

So, a lot of bad things has been happening of late to myself and my associates. I was in a wreck yesterday. I got t-boned on howell mill on my lunch break. Cuz was in the car with me, riding shotgun. i was turning left accross the road, and Cuz shouted. i looked just in time to see the car slam into the my car.... no screetching wheels, no skids marks, just slam.
No one was hurt. but my car took some serious damage. the other car is unscathed as it was one of those cast iron monstrosities from the 70's. I got the ticket for failure to yeild, while i feel the other driver was speeding. I will be contesting this in court.
I took my car in to the shop this morning to get an estimate. I am hoping that it is total'd. i would like to take the money and buy one of my dads Sedans. He owns a limo company. He is letting me drive one in the meantime.
So, My car is screwed, Corstar hit a deer at 60 mph and crushed his car, chardarkminion has his car in the shop, djmoney has his car in the shop, Eldritchen lost his job, the Cuz has been helping me financially and is dead broke. . . man, it has not been a good week for the home team. ..
We were going to SI. we were going to go on a BADASS module, but now that is a flop. i am sad

| Complaints of a gaming nature |
[Mar. 6th, 2006|03:46 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  frustrated | ] |
So, no one ever listens to me. Even when i am running my own game, peeps do as they wish. I am running an adventure D&D game in the setting of Eberron. I really like the setting. I play in a game on sundays with my crew, and it is really fun. lots of town play and social interaction and what-not. anyway, i have always like the crawls more than the socials. so when i run a game it is typically a deadly dungeon crawl type of game, with simple setting overtones, not a lot of politics, etc. Well, when i started this game, i wanted the party to sit down and come up with a party that fit and worked together, that had a common cause, maybe even all knew each other going into it. I even gave them the hook to all know each other. (all want to become members of the wayfinders, an explorers club/guild in eberron) And i wanted everyone to be ok with/ready for the tone of the game, which is tomb raiding.
but, like ya do, no one listened.
Instead, everyone sat down and came up with what they thought was a cool character concept that they have been waiting to try out. I get characters who, before the game even starts, i know are not going to get along. Someone played a Paladin. I was so frustrated i wanted to pull out my hair*...I introduced the plot hook...some of them said, "why would i do that? my character wouldnt do that." and they went along with the rest of the party anyway...and then there was conflict. someone got so mad they threw the pen they were holding and stormed out of the room, because of something another player was doing...
Now i have tried to twist my original intent/content to fit better with the characters, and i am finding it difficult to hook all the characters into the adventure. It is very far from what i originally intended and i am on the verge of giving up on this game >< I hate that. I want to run a game for a good long while...I am thinking of sitting down with the group and talk about the direction of the game, the original intent, and see if i cant get them to reset the party and start again.
ugh, why cant people just listen to me.....
*footnote - I absolutely hate the class paladin. i dont disallow it ( as i now disallow monk) but i really really hate it.... |

So the website is up now for Forest of Doors -> www.forestofdoors.com
I find myself excited about it. really excited. I have been telling all my friends, sending emails out to people i know to check it out. i am getting really stoked. i feel i am overstepping my boundaries sometimes. like maybe i am pushing things too fast. maybe some of the forest of doors staff isnt ready yet for a lot of attention. dunno. i am sure someone will tell me if they think i am being too overeager for them. I will be running MT, which will be awesome. My cousin is going to be full timing as my goto guy, my right hand man. we are both putting a lot of thought into what we want to do with it. we have been trying to procure lots of stuff for use with the game. we stumbled onto 6 huge boxes ( i could clib into it ) of open cell foam, which we promptly got delivered to darth_hatecrime for making weapons for MT. So, ya, i am lucky today is a really light workload day, so i have time to contemplate the game and who else i can contact about it. :D
More to come later
Also, on a side note, i am thinking of playing a totemist instead of an incarnate in my sunday game. fyi

So, this is my First Journal post. I havent decided yet what i want to use this for, but i do like to jump off of bridges with the rest of my lemmings. I have several things i could use it for; I could post things i think are funny to me, i could keep info about my characters in the many games i play, i could vent about things that happen in my workplace, I could vent about things that happen in my home, talk about some of my favorite shows, spoilers and all, i could write about myself and gain a deeper connection to the person inside. . . or i could never use this thing again. Only time will tell...

PS, i dont spellcheck nor do i care that i dont capitalize or use punctuation unless i am making a point...fyi |
