lol read this crap

Well, I got monday evening off for the Converge show. Been listening to a lot of them, and found a weird ass band called Protest the Hero, which, if I remember right, has some awesome mathcore shredding melodies, with generally above mediocre to slightly annoying lyrical content, but then really pleasing female vocals sometimes. I suppose I like it. I have to listen to more Cave In, I know I like them. A lot.

Wednesday for game night, Phil and I wore silly hats. It must have been Sunday, we'd decided to have a look in the Halloween store when walking through the mall. I bought a monkey costume for Halloween, and a top hat for fun. Phil's going to order a man in the yellow hat costume. At the shop, he picked up--how do you call them--a fuzzy ass hat. The young lady working there was charming! We passed her later when leaving Red Lobster.

Oh, but the decision to go in the costume shop was a good one. It sparked a series of so many ridiculous events, as people wore newspaper hats and giant boxes with eye slits to walk with us to the store from game night. We had played Munchkin again, this time much more enjoyable when I understood wtf was going on.

Yesterday my boss asked me if he could get Service Pack 2 from Microsoft's website. I'm gonna add something to the last post.

Hopes and Dreams

Converge is touring, new album is due Oct 20th.

I'ma plan and see them at Gabe's the 28th of Sept.

Rammstein is working on a new album, with a peculiar single and video having been released.

Please know that as songs go, and even as Rammstein goes, I pretty much hate the new song and video for Pussy.

You have to watch the video though, and know that it inspired me to try and see them live again if they come around this way.

My reasoning being:

a.) thank god the other material is awesomer

b.) they're fucking retarded for doing this, and in being so, will put on an insane show

b.) they put on an insane show anyway

Game night, 9/16

Last night was a solid game night for me. We started out playing Munchkin, which is like a non rpg rpg dungeon card game, and where I was pretty totally lost at least until halfway through. Then, inspired by my interested remark having discovered their deck of Fluxx, we played several rounds of that. people started to leave or go to bed, but Phil, Tony and I stuck in for several more hands, then deciding to play a game of Powergrid, until somewhere around 3am. Pretty damn fun, though I'll say before explaining it that the explaination didn't seem a whole lot of enjoyable...

Choose either side of the playing board: Germany or America, and take turns bidding on power plants, and purchasing various respective raw materials (coal, oil, free wind, garbage, nuke) required to power them, and then plot cities to build them on, earning your money mased on how many of your cities you can power each round. When someone gets to 17 cities, the one who can power the highest number of cities that round wins.

Fin.

DO WANT

on MMOs

Issue 16 went live on CoH apparently... I logged in to move my badger from one logoff spot to another, knowing he'd have been logged off for long enough to've earned the latest day job badge I'd been working on. I got seven unexpected badges, things I hoped to farm for that had their requirements nerfed (the 1000 pillboxes I'd mentioned a couple posts ago became 100 just)... I don't know if there's much reason to suspect I'll be playing CoH anymore any time soon... The focus on the new update was fuckin basically color customizable powers. No new content. CO is gripping me though. Despite no obvious hook as far as endgame or replay, it's very addicting for now... but I'm already 29 of 40... so as it goes, in a few months, I may or may not be done MMOing... should I go outside or

You know what doesn't seem to exist yet?

Bacon bed sheets. I can find any after a quick look online tonight, but I've decided I want some.
