My Blog Posts
I admit it. I'm a lazy person.
Cliff and I bought our house back in March. Just short of six months ago. We still aren't completely unpacked. This weekend is a three day weekend, though, and I'm planning on taking Sunday to...
*sigh* I had a problem with my computer where it was shutting off out of the blue. Cliff thought it was a heating/cooling issue and bought me a new power supply and cooling system (that's true...
I tried to write this last night, and like an idiot closed the tab. Grrr. Moving on, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Dungeon Siege II, which I pre-ordered. It should be in next Tuesday - oh...
I've been so bad. I don't think I've written in months. Between buying our house (YAY!), adopting stray kittens, and numerous other things, it's been hectic, to say the least. Anyway, I'll try...
Seller counter-offered, we counter-counter-offered. Waiting 'til Monday to see how that goes. I'm such a bundle of nerves today.
The house that got bought out from under us? The dream house? 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a game room, over 2 acres of land? The people couldn't get their loan.... So y'all - cross your fingers - we...
About three months ago my husband and I went to dinner with his parents and sister. Things were going pretty well, unitl my father-in-law decided to be a joker (he usually is - it pays not to...
So far we've found two houses that were strong candidates. The first one sold the day we were planning on making an offer, the second one we discovered had a train track about 1,200 ft. behind...
*sigh* As many of you know, Cliff and I are trying to get a house. Cool! The suckage of the matter, though is we aren't quite ready yet and interest rates are going back up. Supposedly, the...
Husband and I came to a conslusion this weekend - we are eating out ENTIRELY too much, and it's seriously eating into our funds. So, we've resolved to stop eating out so often and limit it to once...
Here's my list of Christmas suggestions for the PC gamer you know and love :-) Half-Life 2 - for the first person shooter fan Sid Meier's Pirates! - for either the strategy lover or the person...
Many people wonder how a person can vote for one candidate or another. For myself, I'm always between a rock and a hardplace. I'll warn anyone reading this, I'm about to make some huge...
I draw your attention to this journal entry: [url=http://forums.gamespot.com/gamespot/journal.php?user=Heretic]Heretic's Slam of Republicans[/url] This whole diatribe made me sick to my stomach....
Intelligent debate on the Off Topic forum tonight. I'm enjoying the heck out of it - good brain exercise. A lot of people think debating issues is pointless because you're unlikely to change...
Well, Halloween is here. Yay. We're supposed to go to a party tonight, but Cliff is on call and he's not home yet (quarter to seven) so it's highly possible he got held up. *sigh* Not that i...
Well, I broke down and did it. I pre-ordered the collector's edition of WoW. Got my spiffy pre-order bonus, too - a nice, big, meaty novel. Works for me. I'm just hoping two things: Blizzard...
What is it about online communities that cause them to devolve into romper rooms? Seriously, you look at the posts of some people and have to wonder how old they are (at least I do). I'm not sure...
Seriously, I played and got addicted to a game called the Kingdom of Drakkar back about 10 years ago. It was one of the first MMPG's out there. Older than Ultima. Then I got bored with the same...
You have to understand - one of my first games was Pirates! Gold for the Mac. I loved that game. I've spent the last year telling my now husband that they need to do a remake. And then - then I...
I have really high hopes for this game. It's based on one of the very first RPG's to grace a PC, Cary Elwes as The Bard is just classic. But yet it got a whopping 6.7 for the console version....
