polo!
I know, its been a month. Haven’t really been doing much actually, so its why I haven’t posted. And some the stuff I’d like to post about would actually be an invite for some flaming. Politics, both state and federal.
Anywho. Been just playing Borderlands
Also went and saw Alice but I don’t feel its really worth talking about. My personal opinion, the best part of the whole movie was the credits, where the plants/fungi were growing.
No, didn’t goto Pax East, and I was actually ‘grumpy’ (as my wife put it) that weekend. But good news is, Pax Prime is coming! Click on that link for news and to order your badges now! If you don’t, they will sell out fast, and you won’t get one.
Lastly, i’ve now been using Audible.com for a year and a half and can’t recommend this enough. As a book worm, i’ve found that with work, marriage, and other obligations, it has become harder to be able to read as much. So I had started using Audible and highly suggest you take a look at it yourself. You get 1-2 books per month with your plan, which are yours to keep and can be put onto many different devices.
I think I will start doing picks with my posts and as my first one, I would like to recommend Daemon by Daniel Suarez, narrated by Jeff Gurner.
And as a special offer: Try Audible Now and Get A Free Audiobook Download with a 14 Day Trial. Choose from over 75,000 Titles. The book is yours to keep for free with no obligation as long as you cancel within 14 days. But I don’t think you will, its an amazing service.
Mmmmmm…..
Marshmellows…
Just finished up with a homemade batch and they taste sooooo good. I love cooking and didn’t ever think of making these myself. Thanks to Cali over at GeekBrief.tv for the recipe. If you are of the mind to make some, here is the link. Its a two parter, so make sure you watch both. And she has the recipe in the comments section as well.
Other then that, this week hasn’t been much of anything. Back’s been a little sore and missed my massage therapy appt over the weekend due to the insurance companies idiocy.
Saw Avatar with my buddy Kenny. Visual pr0n. Story was so-so.
And went to The Airlock again Sunday and Weds night. I knew I missed playing Battletech, but never realized how much. And I CAN’T wait until Red Planet shows up again, need some Martian Football!!!
If you love the Mechwarrior series and/or played tabletop Battletech, GO CHECK IT OUT! They have most all the basic mechs and even 400+ variants. This is what you have:
I will be there again this Saturday night with some the Enforcers from PAX. So say hi. And if you go another night, tell UglyMan (the owner) you heard about it from me. I don’t get any kickbacks or such, but its nice to let him know where he’s getting customers from.
“Kerensky’s people have returned. They are the Clans.”
build it and they shall come
Its almost that time.
PAX’09!!
The schedule has been released and it looks chocked full of goodness. And if you are going, this wonderful person, Chelseabot, made a google calendar of all the events. Check it out!

help thy fellow PAXonian
I don’t usually pass things like this along that often, but this one hits semi close to home.
A fellow compatriot of mine, Lori, who is an Enforcer (some know what this is, for others Please read this), was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder known as APS and may possibly have lupus. Because of this, she will have to have one of her legs removed.
Lori, along with her husband, have opened there house multiple times to us Enforcers to just hang out, play games, talk, or be rowdy. And we are now helping give back in what ever way we can to help these two friends of ours out.
Another Enforcer and friend of mine, who goes by the name of Liger, is hand making her own version of the LiveStrong bracelet. Please visit her site and take a look, and please purchase one if you can afford it.
calling all gamers
PAX has opened the pre-reg on their site. 3 day pass is 50 bucks if you order it before Sept 3. They are recommending do it quickly, cause if the growth holds the same as the last few years, they will probably sell out this year.
So go go go!
i’m still alive
*second attempt*
I know its been a few weeks…
ok, more then a few.
But things are going well. Physical therapy is helping alot and I am hoping to get back to work in some form this month. We’ll see after the follow-up with the doc this month. Sitting at home is taking its toll on me.
Only time i’ve really gone out these past few months is for PAX. We had a few friends come in town for a week. Because of my back, didn’t do much at all other then sit. But I did get to talk with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day. Pics coming soon. You should know who Wil is… if not, you suck. Felicia Day on the other hand is really great. A geek and a gamer, besides being an actress. Check out Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog and The Guild if you haven’t yet.
Besides going to PAX, we did some sight seeing. Here are pics of that: http://www.crystaloasis.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=3
