Ready To Work

Due to recent boredom I have downloaded several old DOS games. Unfortunately I have been unable to get them to play with sound or music. I can't seem to get them to jive with the sound system I have. It is pretty frustrating, because PC speaker mode won't even work. I downloaded both Warcrafts, ROTT, and Cannon Fodder, and something else but I can't remember what it was. I might try DOOM, or Heretic tonite.

Also, Fear Factor is a good show. I tryed America's Top Model, but it was too slow, or maybe it was the people that were slow. I even saw the Japanese commercial but I decided I'd rather watch Futurama.

Eggnog is as Eggnog does

I'm drinking eggnog right now. I put some Sprite in it, because I obey my thirst. It's not a bad combo.

Does anyone have a copy of the Simpsons episode where they are in a box car with the bum telling them stories? The story of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer is great.

I watched LOST , it was kind of boring in my opinion. I guess it is the middle of the season, and they all can't be great.

Also I downloaded ROTT and played it, and remembered the gore of eyeballs shooting past you after you blow someone up. Anyway.

Caution: Renting an XBox Could Incapacitate

I accidently rented an XBox and a couple of games and it turned me into a robot. You know, the kind of robot that wakes up early to play an RPG after staying up late. So I rented LOTR: The Third Age. It was pretty fun. It is a turned based RPG, which historically I have made fun of, and this one was no different, except that I was already interested in the world. Call me a nerd, but not to my face.

Unfortunately, I haven't done anything else since Friday night except work occasionally everyday. Happily, I beat the balrog, and am outside Moria.

Does anyone remember the Spice Girls? I remember them, but they don't remember me.

I went grocery shopping today and surprisingly I bought no cheese. I guess that means that I won't eat very well this week, or it means I already have enough. I've decided that Sharp Cheddar Cheese is best, and then Swiss cheese.

So, I've been playing video games lately. Last week I remembered the good old days of BBS's and darkforce; I also remembered that there was some old shareware that might even run on this computer. Well the story goes that I got a couple of them. One named Conquest, and the other named the General. Basically they are Risk and Stratego. I couldn't find Jetpack, and I forgot to look for Blake Stone. Anyway, I've played those two games alot, too much. It seems that I am addicted to any video game, no matter how lame it is.

A Story

Once upon a time there were two adventurers wheeling and dealing for supplies in the dusty frontier town of Lut Gholein. In all the hustle and bustle it just so happened that both the adventurers dropped a large amount of gold on the sidewalk. It all the mayhem the gold disappeared, and has never been found. Until now on the back of the Declaration of Independence and in the middle of a famously craptacular movie. Actually the story goes that one adventurer remained destitute for a long period of time, while the other seemed not to worry about the "LOST" money. So where's the money?

Smear Campaign against frumix

It has been brought to my attention that I do not have the drivers for my printer. More importantly there have been those lately who have questioned my devotion to the email checking. Let me just say: "Check your email"

In my attempt to hook up the printer, and get a rebate for my modem I found that I do not have Adob Acrobat@ (I don't have the trademark symbol). So I downloaded it, but I also got a piggybacked version of Photoshop Album which upon inspection by me, was found to an incredibly handy program for handling all of my bad pictures (which are numerous). It is so easy to use, and the little paperclip at the bottom was so nice and friendly.

I tried to watch Lost last night at work, but I couldn't remember what channel it was on and since I was convinced it was on NBC I didn't even check the other networks until The West Wing came on at 8:00 and I knew I was hosed.

Election Night Counting Frustration

All I have to say about the election is that some states are really slow at counting. I think that maybe to help with the next election we should spend some federal dollars on counting programs in the public schools to help people count faster. I just don't understand why it takes people in New Hampshire so long to count, I guess they're just special, and they want a pudding cup.

In other news: I have been told that I am a dead beat blogger and email checker. But let the record show that I blog at least 4 per week, and check my email at that same rate. Also I would like to present Peoples 34 : "The whale is a mammiferous animal without hind feet." Baron Cuvier. Has anyone eaten whale? I can't say that I have, but I sure want to see one up close, and possibly swim with it, or harpoon it. Or maybe just hold a harpoon, or be cool enough to be someone who gets to use something cool enough to be called a harpoon.

"If you make the least bit of noise," replied Samuel "I will send you to hell."

At one point in my life I thought it would be cool to be called a warlord.
