Here I rant away about everything and nothing. That means I'll write stuff sporadically and it will all be stuff you don't need to read.

I have a 55" HDTV from Sony that's an internal projector. It's a Sony 55A2000. The thing about this one, is that the lamp wears out after some time. I've had that TV for about 2 years. Maybe three weeks ago, the pear in the lamp broke. A new lamp would cost 2000NOK/200£/355US$ + shipping. I knew we would have to replace the lamp again in two years time, so I decided to buy a new TV. I ordered the Sony 52W4500 which is the same brand(bravia), but has just been released this month. No lamps to replace.

So I'm sitting here, waiting for the TV to get in stock at the internet store, when my graphics card suddenly figured out it didn't want to play any more fullscreen applications. At this point, I have no money to buy new hardware, so I'm stuck surfing the web and playing whatever flash-based games that are there.

Then the internet got shut down due to no payments. Great, now we don't have internet either... So I'm sitting here on my GF's laptop(I hate laptops, btw), hawking other peoples wireless networks. Sometimes I have to sit outside freezing to even get a faint signal. Also, this laptop only plays a limited selection of games, due to it being pretty old and worn.

I'm just waiting for my TV to arrive. They told me they sent it the day before yesterday, but they never gave me a tracking number so I believe they just lied to get me off their backs. I've had trouble with these guys before, and the only reason I ordered from them was because they were the first store to receive the TV. They were also the cheapest at the time.

There you have it. A day in the life of _fIrE_

WARNING!

LOTS OF BAD WRITING AHEAD!

I've just noticed how incredibly easy it is to shape fire in photoshop, and you can see the result. It's not the best work you've seen, but it does what it's supposed to... Fill my page with crap, that is. It was also convenient that my username allows for lots of fire.

Lately nothing has happened. No explosions, murder/suicides, deaths on the road, gaming or general mayhem. So I haven't got much to talk about. Come to think of it, I DID do something. Twice.I saw The Dark Knight. No wonder mr. Ledger did what he did. The character he played in the flick was so convincing, he must have actually turned into Joker IRL. I've seen him in a couple of movies before, every character he played was similar. Come to think of it, most actors have similar characters in all their movies. Like Morgan Freeman(who just got in a car accident) or Christopher Walken. If you didn't know Heath Ledger was acting in the movie, you would never have guessed who the Joker was played by.

Btw, R.I.P, Heath.

In the next movie they've got the Riddler and Penguin in the same movie, supposedly. So they don't borrow much from the older movies. If Catwoman appear, I want Walken back! He is terribly good bad guy! Too much contradiction!

So there!

Bye

was great, awesome! I used earplugs, and I'm glad that I did. I was seven heads from Iron Maiden, and I was almost hit by a drumstick. It was 3 feet away! Kinda wish I had bought the expensive ticket, which means a ride with Ed Force One from London, backstage pass, hotel and a ride back to London with Bruce Dickinson hanging out with the passengers. It only costed about 700U$D. I didn't have the money for it, though.

I recently got to try Soldier Of Fortune 4. It looks to be rubbish. They really need to update the mission structure if they're going to release more SOF... I installed Postal 2 the other day, just because I got psyched about Postal 3. I bought a used copy of Postal 1 of some guy as well. Impossible to steer the guy, and no way I'm playing it for long, unless it's possible to tune up the controls.

That's it for now.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like _fIrE_.
_fIrE_ must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could _fIrE_ possibly have for not rating a single film?
