Dance in the Sparkling Snow
February 4, 2009
I cancelled my Gamefly subscription a few months ago, if only I could do that with WoW, lol. I haven’t turned my xbox 360 on for a long long time now…figure the last game I played through and beat was Fallout 3 and just recently they released the expansion for it. I think that if we didn’t raid at all until Udular came out, it would offer me more time to not think about WoW. I could hop on certain nights for pvp (arenas and BGs) with friends, maybe the occasional heroic here or raid there, but not much besides that. Nowadays, raid nights just feel like they drag on and on for me. I know that a few others probably feel that way, at least 2 people that do. But PVP keeps me coming back for more, what can I say.
I’ve been drinking more tea on my own again. It usually was any time I went to mom’s house that I would have a few cups of tea, or the rare times it was offered to me at home. But ever since I got dad and Carol the Keurig coffee maker, I’ve been making tea like crazy, and it’s awesome. However, I still don’t think I’ll ever be a coffee drinker.
I forgot to update last night. The thought even crossed my mind, but I blew it off. Sure, by the time I got to bed it was like 3:30AM, but for some reason I just wasn’t in the mood to log on and post something. I did finish the last half hour of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button however. I enjoyed the movie, I agreed with the whole “it’s like this generation’s Forest Gump”. I did feel that the movie could have had less sex scenes (they weren’t exactly nudity and full on sex, but just making out and falling down in a “sex position” of sorts, with the “putting on clothes” scene afterwards). This would have shortened the movie by at least 15 – 20 minutes, still leaving it over 2 hours. Though being 2 hours didn’t seem bad, the story carried the viewer across the time quickly and never really tried hard to be over-dramatic just to get tears or smiles/laughs. Someone asked me if I liked it better than The Wrestler. No, not at all. I did like it better than Seven Pounds though…I should ask the same person that question.
I’ve had two bagels today. They’re so delicious. First one was just a quick one around noon since I knew I wasn’t going to get lunch, just with plain whipped cream cheese. Second one was around 3:35-ish, toasted with some butter. Both amazing in their own ways, what a great invention the bagel is. First one I enjoyed with a Sprite, this second one was devoured while drinking tea.
I wish I could draw. I knew about and have read Hourly Comics long before the ex, so when I saw she posted one, I felt a mixture of anger/jealousy/frustration. Anger because it felt like she had shuffled her way back into stuff that I enjoyed (though she talked about Waltz with Bashir like she could care less, so that’s good…great movie, so she can suck it). Jealous because as I mentioned I wish I could draw. Of course, there are a few people, especially the originator of hourly comics, who don’t really draw to draw well, just to draw. I should have done that…didn’t even think about it. Though what would my Feb 1st comic have been like? Frustration because I still read her fucking comic, I still read her FUCKING comic. Why do I do that? Why do I enjoy causing myself pain? Well, I guess it’s not really painful unless I see her mention her current boyfriend. I need a girlfriend. It’s very frustrating that the girls I’ve been meeting online have all been crazy. Sure, people might take a look at that and say “well maybe it’s not the girls, maybe it’s you?”, but guess what LADIES, it’s not me alright? I’m not going into the list of failures right this moment, but the most recent one just continues to prove that it’s a fucking nightmare trying to find someone to be with.
XM Radio is going to be charging me extra a month to listen to their service online soon. What a stupid idea, of course it’ll make them tons of money, but it’s so dumb. I’d be better off now just bringing in my boombox that has the XM radio attachment and hooking that up. Maybe I will…might as well save myself some money eh? It’s just so easy to hop on the website and toss on the radio rather than go through all that trouble. Whatever, by the end of the month, I’ll lug that shit into work and do that.
Tonight is the newest episode of Lost Season 5. I’m pretty pumped up to see it, it’s always fun to get excited for something and then actually being satisfied by the end. Sure the show is filled with questions and constant twists and turns, but it gets people talking. I’d rather talk about Lost than just listen to people babble on and on about football or their kids or animals and all that boring nonsense. I guess that’s a bit selfish, but who cares. Isn’t that the whole point behind making social contact with people? If you’re not interested in the same stuff or have anything to talk about, then you really have no reason to talk to that person or group of people. But once you find some solid ground, then you can have enjoyable conversations and skip all that fubar, filler nonsense that they can discuss with other people who would be more interested.
Once Bill pays me for the wedding video, I’ll go head back to Circuit City and pick up that Canon HV30. It uses the same batteries, same tapes, and will work just like my HV20, just slightly better. What a great camera my HV20 is: light, reliable, great quality…perfect little piece of technology. So I figure the new HV30 is about $720 – $500, I’ll take the $220 bullet and soak up the knowledge that I will now have a 2nd camera to do everything that I do…not only weddings, but personal projects once again. It’s going to be interesting seeing how I’ll work with 2 cameras at the wedding though.
It was nice and snowy yesterday and last night. My cell phone takes decent photos, not the highest quality, but good enough to capture a moment. Sometimes when I leave work, there are perfect sunsets, incredible moon and stary night shots, and I just wish that I could have my camera on me at all times. At some point I’ll make enough money off weddings to buy a sweet digital SLR camera and I could bring it with me wherever I go. The snow was so sparkly last night, this doesn’t show it completely, but it’s still nice. I love the snow.
Anyway, I think that’s all for now.
Listening too long to one song, listening too long to one song.
