DOOMing...

Playing Doom3 tonight (good game by the way if you get a chance pick it up and play it... if nothing else it will scare the living daylights out of you 4 or 5 hundred times)

I noticed a few things.

1. Even in a state of total and utter disaster all OSHA laws are obyed on mars.

2. The ammount of ammo you have to use is directly related to how much you waste when you are shooting at enemies.

3. Could it have killed someone to put locks on all of these closetes?

Trippin on tryptophan

Say the above titel in the vein of Pauly Shore's the "Weazel" and then you will know how I feel right now.

I have never done drugs.... but I swear I only ever have this light headed and sleepy feeling after Thankgiving and Christmas.... whats more I have the munchies... I know I'm full my stomach feels full. But yet I still eat... just snacking really. Yeah you got to love that Tryptophan high..

As I'm watching TV last night I see a comercial for the new mustang... and the comercial is the Mustang revving it's engine to about the national anthem. They are showing shots of the interior and the outside. And I actually think to myself.. I would be so patriotic if I bought that car today. Then I snapped back to reality after I took a hit of my super cynical meds. That made me feel better about me but not so great about the car.

So I'm drinking a Guiness and I actually feel physically full from drinking it. It's really sad. Again with the munchies.

It's Thanksgiving and everyone and their brother is giving thanks in the their online journal thingies about various and assorted things. I now would like to present to you a partial selection from 1999. This list is entitled the "Hate List" and was done by one B. Hudson. I like to trot this out about once a year or so and just to remind everyone. You can be pissed off, but no one is as pissed off as Bruce.

Ok all happy Thankgiving and may the "Shwartz" TM be with you tommrow if you are actually going to try and do some shopping.

Hell has frozen over... kind of.. not really more like it's a bad snow job

Woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow on the ground... that was a nice suprise. But I ordered the snow for the week before christmas not the week of thanksgiving. Man I tell you what the people responsible for snow have no concept of a proper delviery time frame these days.

Friday night...

So you know your a geek when...

Your correct someone about how to count... you always start with ZERO not one....

ya know it was cooler in person you just had to have been there.


Enterprise... when did this show actually become watchable? It's not TNG good by no means... but it is watchable. Actually it's better then V'yger... not as good as DS9 but it is trying to get to that level.

I think I finally have my blood stream back....

I gave up Coke (at home) almost a year ago... Do I feel better? No not really... Have I lost weight? No (I replaced coke with BEER!).... So why not drink coke... simple my caffiene intake is now in half and I'm not as high strung anymore... I use the term high strun with great relativity... compared to a few people at work I still have the speed of a hummingbird and sometimes the mentality of one too.. I need to drink more beer.

/getBEER!
/getBEER!/drink.bin

That right there folks was an attempt at geek humor if you don't get it don't worry neither do I.

I am drinking a beer though.

So I'm really liking this blogger thing and I'm serioursly considering on shuttering the other site and going to just this... I don't know though part of me likes have the anal-retentavie control that I have over the other site. I don't know it's a thought and this is much easier for me then the other site.... PLUS I can email blogger to a special super-secret address that only I know (well me and whatever sysadmin looks at my account) For some reason this just seems a bit more cathartic.... much like the orginal semi-journal did way back in 2000... shit I've been doing this for 4 years...

/digs up old post...

First post is dated DEC 1, 2000 damn just under two weeks to the semi-journal's 4th birthday. This was supposed to be a one year experiment. I think it's safe to say that I have been a bit lax in my cutting off everything.

thinks of everything that has changed in 4 years.

Damn... graduated school, moved from flag, started my career, bought a house, achieved some measure of personal peace after putting the demon known as emily out of my life.

ya know I think I'm going to shutter the other sight... the last post will be Dec 1, 2004 (maybe (hey it's my site I can do whatever I damn well please)) I enjoy this knowing that 2 (well soon to be a 4 as I send a email to a few people) I don't like knowing that anyone in my little world can stumble onto my piece of the internet. I like this it's just the people I want to see it... for better and worse... thick and thin... coke and beer... Star Wars Galaxies and Jump to light speed.

This is me.

A key ingredient of Guiness has to be....

Ya know I'm pretty convinced that a key ingredient of Guiness has to be sulphur... man I had a few Guiness last night (when I say a few I mean more then a couple but less then alot) and starting sometime around midnight last night and through 7:30 tonight every last fart has smelled like sulphur

And suddenly you stop... and try to think to yourself why oh why do I read this garbage ?

I always seem to have the best posts after I've spent the weekend hanging out with Curtis... probally has something to do with the fact that when I hang out with Curtis strange shit happens... like sulphur farts. But that is why Curtis is married to Krissy... she keeps his ass babysat so make sure nothing too bad happens to him... and if she's feeling kind me too!

One of these days I'm going to be returning that whole baby sitting thing whether it be by actually babysitting them or something of theirs (like a dog or something like that).

OK moving on... I've also decided that going to bars in Phoenix/Tempe is much more fun (for me at least) then bars in Vegas because I can breathe at the bars in Phoenix they are filled with smoke and not packed as tight as a can of sardines.

That and bars in Phoenix are a lot less pretenious then the bars in Vegas. I can go as my black t-shirt self and blend right in down in Phoenix.

Yeah Phoenix bars are defintly more my speed.

3 cheers for "Rula Bula"!

The computer incarnate

In Phoenix.... Curtis is rebuilding his box... I can feel space and time bending already.


He hasn't updated his drivers yet.... we should all be afraid very very very afraid.

A question for all you DATA freaks out there

So there I was in line at Hastings when I say the 2005 edition of the big book of movies (not the real name to protect the idiots who published it).

Why on earth would someone pay $24.95 for something that can be gotten off the internet for FREE.

Even if you don't have the internet at your house you are still coming out ahead if you drive you SUV that gets horrible gas mileage to the nearest internet station to do the reaseard and then go home!

Hell I can download that entire book... put into a SD Card... and put it in my iPaq and BAM! RIGHT THERE AT MY FINGERTIPS!. Next year when the 2006 version comes out I pay 5bucks and BAMMAGE AGAIN!

Do yourself a favor go listen to some Pink Floyd.

Got P.A.C.S.

You know when I took this promtion 6 months ago I knew there would be overtime involved... and I was told alot of overtime would be involved. I am know just begining to realize how much over time is involved.

I'm on the end of a 15 hour day at work. As I sit thinking about what I did while I have a beer and my beef bbq burrito. I think to myself... ya know I may be a dumbass but I'm a pretty smart dumbass. Let me explain.....

3 years ago when I started the current job I was brought in to work on a surgery charting system. Now mind you I was less then 3 months out of school and had only ever worked in a grocery store. I literrally went from checking grocries to learing how surgrey was done in the course of a week. That wasn't so bad my mom is a nurse so it wasn't totally new to me and I pick up pretty quick on things.

Flash forward to 6 months ago and the PACS administrator job lands in my lap... Now let me explain PACS to you... in it's most simpliest terms PACS is a way of taking x-rays (and x-ray related procedures) digitally and never printing a hard copy as a regular part of your work flow. Now to put this in perspective... we cannot take down the x-ray dept. ever. Oh and don't forget you still need to get ER orders read real quick.

That is in it's simpliest form that I can put it is PACS.

The thing that blows my mind is Nursing and x-ray have two diffrent lingo's and I'm speaking passable x-ray and passable nurse. Someday I amaze even my two brain cells.

OK beer is gone... time to get ready for bed and start again tommrow!

The end of the world as we know it. Or how I learned to stop worrying and just accept the Simpsons are just silly.

How's that for a title?

You know I'm very much of the thought that the Simpson's tree house of horror special has no real place on television after Halloween. And anymore it really has no place on the TV period. But that is just my thought.

Anyway I've been listening to Pearl Jam all weekend (which is somewhat proper since it's been gray and raining all day today) and I've decided that to me personally. Ten (the first album from 92) is not their best work. I think their best work is either "Yield" or "Riot Act" Those are my two favorite Pearl Jam Albums. Of course I'm probally the only person I know that tries to keep up with current Pearl Jam you know the whole no video thing.

The no video thing is a a real testament (at least to me) as to how good a group Pearl Jam is. It's been 10 years since their last commercially successful video and they still sell more records per album then most groups could ever hope to do over the course of their entire carreers. That is just my thought though. Most of (actually all from the last album) Peral Jam videos are mainly of the band playing their instruments. Nothing very flashy just something to put up on whatever music channel still plays music.

Tom Petty is on iTunes right now. I guess I'm just in a sedate mood at the moment.

WOOKIEES!!!

WOOKIEES THE NEW STAR WARS TRAILER HAS WOOKIEES!!!!!!
