I’m still half awake. Just got back from the doctor and I stopped to get a McDonald’s breakfast that screams “bad for you.” The cat is circling because she thinks my bag has french fries in it. Yes, Thrashie is obsessed with french fries. If you’re not careful, she’ll stick her head in your bag of food and eat all of your fries. She wants them. She loves them. She needs them. Sadly, for her sake, I’ve stopped eating a lot of fries. I’ve changed my patterns. I still get fast food, but my portions have changed. Like I’ll get the tacos and the $.99 burger from BK instead of a Whopper and fries. It gives ya the feeling that you’ve had a huge meal, but you haven’t. So there.
I might call the Screen Savers one of these days. If you’re reading and you’re from TSS, please tell me how to actually get on the air. My computer fans have been making more noise than normal lately. I think they need cleaning and I really want to know how to clean them without blowing up my system. Seriously. I want to be on the air. Tell me how to do it. E-mail me. Please.
I’m actually kind of afraid of calling in. I mean Moops says that you get either Kevin or Morgan when you call in. I haven’t really picked on Kevin, but Morgan? God, I’m terrified. I seriously am. I mean it’s better than calling Cat but wow. Uh. “Yah, uh, hi.” “Hello.” “So uh, yah. I need help.” “With what?” “My computer.” “James Knine?” “Yah.” “DIE YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE MAN!” ::click:: Scared. Really scared. Totally scared. Just nuts about it.
I’m not going to netcam because, while I’ve been putting my likeness on this site, my contract prevents me from being on the air. Something about getting written notice 30 days in advance. Therefore, I’ll be James from Somewhere, PA or something. We’ll see. I wonder if I can actually get on the air like this lol.
I’m off until 7 PM tonight so I am going to play some Morrowind on my new card. Oh, yes, I gave up yesterday. I checked tracking once, saw it was listed as “on the truck FOR DELIVERY” (as compared to Friday’s “on the truck”) on the fedex web site then promptly gave up on seeing it. It came around noon yesterday, actually went in without a hitch, and the level of detail on both Morrowind and GTA 3 is incredible. In fact, GTA 3 is so incredible that it shows how soulless the game is. Before you do all the missions you have to do all the secrets. Since only a tiny bit of the city is open, you end up going up and down the same streets over and over and over until … well it looks really pretty on my card now. I just don’t know if there’s anything more too it.
Morrowind, on the other hand, is open ended. I made Summah the mage fighter thief (I forget what they call it in the game). All I know is that she can pick locks and blow people up. I named her after my platonic lifemate Summer. One of two in my life. The real Summer spent a weekend forging some sort of weapon out of molten metal. She’s a dwarf chick from Lord of the Rings. Except she doesn’t have the Dwarven beard. I don’t want to see her with a beard and holding a forged axe. She’s scary enough when she wants to be. Anywho, I made her years ago on Daggerfall and it wouldn’t be an Elder Scrolls game without making Summer.
I made my friend Stef on Neverwinter Nights the other month. She’s a paladin, much like the real Stef. I paired her with another paladin and they pretty much rolled through the extended undead segment in the module that comes with the game. I’m going to put that back on the system later and see how much it rocks with the new card. Now if only they’d put in the characters can punch as hard as the real Stef …
If Jedi Knight 2 let you make characters, I’d make Moops as a character. I make her on every wrestling game I have because the girl scares me. She’d be perfect with one of those darth maul 2 handed light sabers and some force powered skates. Dressed in the black robes and displaying force powers like “knock over the idiot” and “take invisible fist and hit them until they switch to a MAC”. She’s the scariest person I know. That’s a good thing in my book. I tend to have the best friendships with women who scare the holy hell out of me and that girl scares me most. I mean she’s surpassed a Laura level scary level already. That’s something that should keep you all up all night. She’s out there lurking. She knows. She knows. Fear the Moops.
On that note, I’m off to hide out and play some Morrowind.
