Click here for a good time (yes it’s work safe)

So, I’ve been chillin most of the weekend. Literally. I wasn’t feelin’ all that well on Friday, which fortunately turned out to be the peak of my bad feeling. Congestion really ruined my sleep on Thursday night, as it usually does. It doesn’t seem as though anything serious is going down.

I saw Serenity this week. It really was an awesome movie; I still haven’t seen all of Firefly yet, and now I’m definitely motivated to finish it. Before that, I saw Corpse Bride. Stylistically, it reminded me a bit of The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was an entertaining movie, but I felt like I had seen it already–in every other Burton film that came before it.

I forgot why I even left World of Warcraft. Oh, yea.. The $14.99/mo. Well, in the end, I think that the $14.99 is worth it; it’s a very awesome game and it has so much more in comparison to Guild Wars. Guild Wars might be a good one to revisit one day, though.

The White Sox are on the verge of winning the ALCS. I don’t necessarily have my hopes up, because we all remember what happened in 2003. Blah. I do hope that they make it, though. Maybe it’ll make up for 1917 in some way.

There’s a lunar eclipse on the 17th (tomorrow). I think that, being in Central Time, I won’t be able to see all that much of it. People out west will be able to see it, though–or else they can sleep in like wussies 😛

So I had a really odd dream last night. I don’t know how I got there, but I was in Iraq. I wasn’t entrenched in battle with terrorists or anything, but it seemed like I just got there. I was at the Baghdad Airport. In the dream, I think I mistakenly took that as part of the Green Zone. Of course, I think that the Green Zone encompasses the general area around government buildings and doesn’t even come close to encompassing the airport.

Anyway, I was riding with someone in a Hummer (a real one, not the yuppie gas guzzler). We rode past some airplanes, civilian and military. The airport seemed as if it was bustling with activity of both. I think I found it perplexing that I was there because I asked what my rank was..

..but just before he could answer, the clock radio went off. Blah.

So, I got an iBook late last week; I traded in the Athlon 64 laptop and my old iBook G3 for an iBook G4. There’s just something about the Mac that’s cool–plus it’s really unique.. Oh, and plus it’s a *nix platform (w00t!!). Anyhoo, this iBook is basically 2x the first iBook that I had. There’re so many more things this lil bugger can do. In the end, I think Mac OS X is better than Linux because of its wider support for hardware–obviously, since hardware varies little from Apple-to-Apple. If there’s a viable alternative to Windows out there, I think it’s more Mac OS than anything. Anyhoo, this thing plays UT2004 and World of Warcraft like a dream, even compared to the Athlon 64.

So, yea. I’ve gotten back into World of Warcraft again. Ruthie is probably going to join me, along with garibaldicu later next month. We’ll more than likely be on Kel’Thuzad, and I’m sure I might continue my character on Feathermoon. Anyhoo, like I said, this little iBook handles WoW quite well–almost as well as my desktop which, ironically enough, has 4x the VRAM.

This weekend was chocked full of moving. My brother is now settled in a new apartment in Milwaukee. I forgot to bring my camera up there, so I have no pics of it *le sigh* I will have to certainly get some at a later date. It’s a really nice one. It’s your typical apartment for up there; an older one, so it has no central heating system. So, it has a radiator attached to the wall, just above the floorboards. It also has an airconditioner in the window. Hopefully, it won’t get too torturous for him in the summer and stuff. His job at WISN is going quite smashing, as well 🙂 He’s certainly enjoying it more than that crappy ass Cumulus. Note: If ever you want a radio job, do not, under any circumstance, take one with Cumulus radio. They stink 😛

TGS!! (in color. w00t!)

So, Chicago might actually make it to the World Series 🙂

I’m in Elizabethtown, KY right now. We’re on the way back to Milwaukee to drop off the rest of Keith’s stuff. SO tired :-\ Off to sleep. Go Sox.

So, I’m pondering starting up WoW again. After playing Guild Wars for a while, it just doesn’t hold the same awesomeness that World of Warcraft does. There’s a reason that it’s $14.99 a month, and that’s probably because of the greater infrastructure. I’ll ponder a little more. Until then, I can be even more impatient for the release of Oblivion. hehe.

Penny started nursing on me this morning *GASP* She hasn’t done that in about a year. She doesn’t sit on my lap much, because she never usually settles down long enough to. So, that was quite strange in itself. She is definitely one confused little feline.

It’s been really nice around here. Right now it’s 64 awesome degrees. It’s time to start running & biking hardcore again 🙂 I have been slacking a bit, because of that oppressive Alabama heat.

Well, this could only happen in Decatur. Lousy stinkin’ South *kicks ignorant South* After having lived in Decatur, I can attest to its backward way. As Catholics (and “Yankee” ones, at that), my family I had to endure a hell of a lot of crap in a town chocked full of rather close-minded and ignorant deep South protestants. I have nothing against them, and I daresay that just about every Catholic in Decatur has no problem co-existing with protestants–which can get strained when crap like this happens. Nevertheless, that sentiment certainly wasn’t returned. UGH! *kicks ignorant South again, for good measure*

In happier news.. Has anyone seen Serenity yet? 🙂

Well, not quite yet. But, my dad and I have driven my bro up to Milwaukee. It’s a really nice town and, after breezing through it, it seems a lot like Denver. The hotel they have him booked at is pretty nice–it’s one of those Extended Stay places.

The trip up here was fairly uneventful. It was definitely a very nice couple of days to drive. I don’t know if there was a cloud in the sky on the way up. The only downside was that we stayed at a Motel 6 near Indianapolis that was quite loud. I never liked motels, because they always project outside sound in just the right bad way. We heard people & motorcycles for most of the night. Ironically, when we left at about 7am, the place was quiet as a tomb.

We stopped off at Miller Park, and ate at TGIFriday’s Front Row in the park. It’s a really nice park. It reminds me a lot of Bank One Ballpark where the Diamondbacks play.

Anyhoo, off to sleep. Leaving at 4am in the morning, so that we can get back to Bama at a decent hour tomorrow.
