another sign of the apocolypse
it’s pretty unbelievable that’s thanksgiving is thursday. it doesn’t feel like that time of year yet. not to me, at least. i think it’s partially to do with the fact that they started playing christmas music on the radio and movies on tv more than a month ago. come on. they do this every year. next year, they’ll start at the end of september, and will continue on this...

computer woes
for somebody who fixes computers for a living, i shouldn’t really have too many computer problems. you’d think. but as of right now, there’s no end in sight.
after i replaced my dvd-rom and keyboard, i decided to restore my system per the recommendations of costco and hp. i figured this wouldn’t be a bad idea since i haven’t done it in a while and i have all my data...
my dilemma
obviously, i’ve made no secret about sharing the fact that i’m a warcraft addict.
so when i went out and bought the new expansion, wrath of the lich king, i was excited. i purchased the game and brought it home.
i then went to install it. this is where the fun begins.
for some reason, my computer would not read the dvd. the light on the drive just kept flashing. i thought “ok,...
happy lich king day!
For years, the heroes of the Alliance and Horde have fought against the evils in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, against the demons of the Burning Legion in Outland, and against each other — all the while unaware that a threat more dangerous than any they had yet encountered was preparing to make its move in the icy continent of Northrend.

the wrath of the lich king

And for players near New York, San Francisco, Anaheim, or Austin, remember to check out the official launch events, where you can get...
a little advice
here’s a piece of advice:
never agree to work a shift unless it is specified that you will be working AM or PM.
i recently agreed to work 8-10:30 on sunday, according to an email from my manager. little did i know, that means 8pm-10:30pm. on a sunday. i would never have volunteered if i knew that.
and now, i’m stuck.

sad, sad day
i wish i could say i wasn’t prepared. but who didn’t see it coming? i mean, that is unless you live under a rock.
last year, obama would’ve had my support 100%. but the further we came in the election, the more shit started to pour out of his mouth. now don’t get me wrong, i am NOT a mccain supporter either. i think they’re both useless. and i know both of them...
lame
back to work… ugh
