Long time huh

Well life continues to trudge onwards.

I dearly wish I had a good group to play shadowrun with. I miss table top gaming so much.

I miss the WoW folks out there as well. My return to WoW if it happens won't be until next spring at the earliest. And that will highly depend on how life is then... two kids + school seems like an unlikely recipe for an MMO.

Tabletop though.... once a week... might be able to happen.... I keep telling myself.

Frustrated to find that Aztlan owns the area I live in. Good reason to be a runner in El Paso.

Wulfa is no longer sick.... and Orclette is also no longer sick.

Sunday Orclette stayed with the Grandparents and me and Wulfa trotted down to El Paso and stayed the night in a hotel.... yay for 6-8 hours of uninterupted reading time(I had 8 wulfa had 6(she took a nap)). Then we slept and woke up and went to a local B&N and read for 2 hours more before heading back to Orclette. It was glorious. We both got a lot of rest from it.

Orclette was elated to see us back though. As a family unit we spent the rest of the day cleaning house from a week of sickness. We moved the furniture around and I fixed two doors. On that note I can guarantee we will no longer be living in this apartment once our lease is up. The kitchen which is older and we knew it... well old doesn't have to mean decrepid... which it sadly does in this case. The A/C doesn't seem to work(I plan to ask about it tomorrow), we had not needed it until recently but do now. And more and more we find problems that need fixing.

Which is frustrating because the only reason we settled for this place was it was the -best- place that allowed dogs and now we don't have a dog and for the same price we could have gotten a place 10x newer that didn't allow dogs.

So... yeah.

See you in like a month when I write my leaving for basic post.

Could be worse... you could have goblinized with the second generation while living in Tir Na Nog or Tir Tangeire...

Lots of running involved from the flower eaters... how would you live it dow?

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
