Wow my account is still active. It's been almost a year since my last post. Too bad I don't have anything to say.

Well it's been four and a half days now and still no beta key from Flagship. If I would've known that it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have pre-ordered so early. They could've at least let us stalk the forums!

Last week I started watching a new anime series called Claymore. A co-worker of mine suggested that I check it out and I'm really enjoying it so far. Chicks + Big Swords = GOOD! You really can't go wrong with that combination.

It's been awhile since I've been sick, but it has happened. Yesterday when we were driving back home, my throat felt irritated like I had choked on my water or something. Woke up at 2 am and felt this pain in my throat. It was like this dry patch, definitely wasn't a good feeling. Today it was just a sore throat, but now my nose is starting to stuff up as well. Anyways, on to some good news. I bought an iPOD over the weekend. Picked up an 8 gig iPOD nano from the Apple store. It's a lot thinner than I had expected. On the commercials, it seemed thicker because the edges look rounded. It was a nice surprise to see how small it was. It has really helped with my drive to and from work. Traffic isn't nearly as bad when you have some music to keep you entertained.

Current Mood: sick

Chicago was a blast. Plenty of alcohol consumption, not a lot of sleep. It was fun meeting all of Liza's relatives. On Saturday night we met up with three of Liza's cousins from Houston to go clubbing. Her aunt was waiting for us at the club and she got us in for free, because her boyfriend is the bouncer for the VIP section. Just in case you were wondering, her aunt is in her 40s. When we left the club, exhausted at 3 am, she was still partying hard. That's pretty hardcore right there! On Monday morning, we were dropped off at the airport at 5 am. When we got up the desk, the clerk couldn't find our names so we showed her our itinerary. She pointed out that our flight was actually scheduled for the 4th, which was a Tuesday, not the 3rd! She got her supervisor and we were offered three first class tickets at an estimated $700 per ticket. It was a bit steep but we didn't have a choice. It was either that or drive straight to work from the airport on Tuesday. Luckily for us, after she had inputted our ticketing information, it only came out to $400 each. The first class seats were nice, but since it was domestic, it wasn't really that big but still a nice experience. Overall I think we all had a great time. It just seems that no matter where we fly to, something always seem to happen to us. I guess it makes for good stories later.

I saw this game a few weeks ago in PC Gamer. It's made by ex-blizzard guys that did Diablo. It's free to download and play! Anyways, I signed up for the beta and I received an email today informing me that I'd been accepted. Their homepage showed that they were going to allow more people in soon. I'm downloading the game as we speak and I'll post some feedback shortly!

So I've been watching this anime series called Samurai Deeper Kyo on a movie channel called Encore, which is part of the Starz network. The series is pretty decent, other than the fact that it's dubbed. They've been showing 3 episodes a night, starting at midnights on Mondays through Fridays. Tonight, they were on the last two episodes, 25 and 26. Well after episode 25 was over, a totally different show came on. I was like, WTF!? I scroll through the guide to see if it's on tomorrow night and it's not. I check Monday and it's a new anime series. So I sat through 2 weeks of horrible dubbing and I don't even get to see what happens at the end! Screw you Starz network, screw you!

Current Mood: aggravated

So I just finished watching Transformers and let me just say that it was fuckin' spectacular! It was really funny, the action was awesome, and it's fuckin' Autobots and Decepticons! It's too bad the movie has gotten such bad reviews, because I felt that it was entertaining. Over the top? Probably, but who cares?! I was skeptical at first, because of what I had read, but I enjoyed every minute of this movie. If it weren't for my friends, I probably wouldn't have even seen it. I'm glad I did though.

Current Mood: excited

Got back from Vegas earlier tonight and it was a blast. Vegas was hot and I don't mean the weather! Actually it was 107 degrees on Friday and 112 degrees on Saturday. The trip was definitely exciting. It started off with us missing our flight, then was put on standby. The flight we were waiting for was delayed, twice. The trip ended with me passing out from pain on the bathroom floor of our hotel room. That, of course, scared the shit out of my girlfriend, but I assured her that I was ok after I came to. Anyways, Vegas is always fun, no matter what happens! Oh and after we got back, we went and got ramen.

I'm downloading a new game right now. It's called Sword of the New World and it's currently in open beta. The screen shots really intrigued me and I hope the game play is just as good.

Is it possible to stay friends with an ex?  My last relationship lasted five years.  We had our own place and were engaged towards the end of our relationship.  When her and I broke up, it was probably the hardest time of my life.  Now I love my current girlfriend, but I still think about my ex from time to time.  It's not that I miss being with her, most of the time I just wonder how she's doing.  It's been probably two years since I last spoke with her.  Last I heard, she was married and is expecting her first child.  I'm not really sure why I think about her sometimes.  Sometimes I feel that it's because I felt guilty for the way it ended.  The reason we broke up was because I had stopped loving her and had stopped for awhile, but I was too afraid to break it off.  Eventually she figured it out and finally broke up with me.  Five years is also a long time to just forget about someone, especially someone that you shared so much with.  Is it normal that I still think of her from time to time even though I'm happy with my current relationship?  Anyways, as you can see it's now 5:20 am and I haven't slept yet.  I think sleep deprivation helps with getting your thoughts out in the open, don't you think?
