Another offering in the free MMO world. This one could take the cake, and also several hours of my time.
However, I don't think I am ready to dump my Night Elf Hunter just yet, especially this close to 70. :D

Sea Monkeys
I will have to post up a pic or two of the mighty creatures. I have begun life in a small tank in my office. They rose up and are now trying to lay siege to the small plastic castle that lies in the middle of their domain.
In honor of the champion of their species, I give you the source of his name.
And to the individual who introduced me to this quote, he truly was the quote master.

Sports?
It is true, I am not the biggest sports fan. However, the match up currently underway between Woods and Rocco has been a pleasure to watch. Now even easier with the good people at NBC Sports and Lexus (they deserve the plug eh?).

Another vid to remember the good times
Sorry to skip over the new job discussion. However, this is hot on the youtube, only reason I know this is that it's on their header page. I don't get viral videos like I used to :( QQ.
This is Weezer off of their new album. If you want more detail just follow the tube embedded links following the clip.

New beginnings
First day on the new job. Unfortunately, I have been unwinding a bit and looking up stuff for work tomorrow and so time has escaped me. Need sleep for another big day tomorrow and so not enough time to successfully devote to a full disclosure of today's events. I hope to have those forthcoming very shortly.

Rolling deep in Un'Goro
This is definately how we do. Raptors? Covered. Molten volcano? Done. Boss taken down with style and grace? Yes always. Aquaninedex dinging the big 60 after two years? Yes indeed.
Huge thanks and shouts going out to Kireffej and Phylahdex for the massive amounts of support and the terrible amounts of damage. We sure brought it to them.

WOW, it's been a while
It's been a little too long for a new post and a little too long since I played some World of Warcraft. I am getting back into it tonight if all goes well and I am excited about the changes. I am moving to a PVE server and off of the PVP frustration and chaos. More of that later when I get a feel for it. Also some of the cool kids from who I played with on my last server also made the jump and the improvements have made them get into playing more regularly. So it couldn't be any better.
These are some shots I took over the time I have played thus far. Good memories. Phylah, my Mrs., has been back on for weeks and already rocking two new add-ons, Auctioneer and Titan Panel, and making the most out of both; auction baroness! Might have to borrow some of that sweet sweet gold, right honey? :)

Accents to smooth everything over
Seeing as how the last vids posted were of a flammable nature, I thought this would be a wonderful change of pace.
Henry Higgins himself might have a hard time keeping up with Amy Walker... from genius-town.

Best thing I can do is let them speak for themselves. I will process what I think about them and might write some commentary about it later.

Automatic Detective
For those of you who are following this gentleman with me I know you will be excite to see this, his next published novel. Amazon has it for $10, but you could pay more for it at your local retailer if you want.
Mack Megaton drives a cab in the mutant-infested technotopia of Empire City. It's a step down for a massive killing machine created for world domination, but kindhearted unapologeticMegaton has bucked his programming, and when his secretive neighbors, the Bleakers, go missing, he begins a search. Young Holt Bleaker has something in his mutant blood that makes him valuable to aliens poised to invade Empire City, and only a giant robot—a robot like Mack Megaton—can break him out of the fortress where he's held prisoner. Soon plans go awry when sinister psychic Grey subverts Megaton's programming, but he finds an unlikely ally in Lucia Napier, an outrageously beautiful and talented media star and roboticist. Eccentric characters, all of whom are clever twists on stereotypes, populate a smart, rocket-fast read with a clever, twisty plot that comes to a satisfying conclusion.
That's the synopsis and I can tell you, it's already better than it sounds. Martinez delivers on his classic wit and humor, this one is technical in nature, hence robots, and he is brilliant in the way he pulls of android humor. The writing is more tight than Gil's All Fright but there is still the silliness and ingenuity that makes Martinez stand apart. Some of the elements he has created for this novel are really clever and the ones he borrows he does so with unapologetic cliches. It contains some expertly wrought tributes/assemblages of several genres; detective, sci-fi, noir.
Enjoy.

Faulkner
Greeting a Monday morning with an excellent and harrowing Faulkner quotation, from As I Lay Dying
How do our lives ravel out into the no-wind, no-sound, the weary gestures wearily recapitulant: echoes of old compulsions with no-hand on no-strings: in sunset we fall into furious attitudes, dead gestures of dolls.

Identity
I tend to have strong beliefs about things; religion, politics, logic, art, pop culture. And you know, I have come to learn that this should not be the case. There, I said it, actually got it out onto the keyboard and into this dialog box despite the need for my mind to work out the best of all possible ways to say it. It's kept me from a lot of writing, that personality flaw, should see some progress as I work away from it. But back to my opinionated nature, no better way to put that. Nothing, it seems, is the source of more of my problems that this one trait. Which is why it should be at the forefront of my striving to become a better person.
Hold one moment while I upload this week's sermon: If you would like to check it out, I highly recommend it, Tom Rupp was our special speaker and he did a marvelous job, really spoke to my heart, and is perhaps part of the force behind this reevaluation. [brb] Bridge Community Church
Where to find Tom's talk
While that's uploading... I don't mean to make light of this with that little aside and I am not trying to be cavalier about this.
But it seems true that stress at work, between personnel, at home, on the road, in discussions, on topics of taste and preference, in games, well, I think the picture begins to solidify, should be a focus of my change.
What do I know anyway. I will put that down right here and make it a part of my life pattern for the time being, just short of tattooing it to my wrist. Do I know that much about movies, books, or even politics? Do I know that much about debates, arguments, discussion topics, or theories thereof? I need to start answering NO.
I know some things about some stuff, but who cares. I am distancing myself so much from the people I care about and for what?! Something I think I might know something about... not the most definitive statement ever made to be sure.
What I need to do is start valuing the moments over the knowledge, the relationships over my interpretations, the joy of existing over what other people insist on doing with their lives and to other people. Even to ME. What should I care if some guy somewhere, in a car, store, or whatever, doesn't care a wit about me, his surroundings, the people that work at a place, or the people on the road with them, who should care? The authorities. They get paid to and are good at what they do. The managers. They want to allow reckless, disgusting, embarrassing behavior in their store, it's their store.
The liberation in acknowledging "what do I know?" can only be rivaled by the freedom Christ gives me to be me. I will be no less me by changing this way that I live, Christ will be with me, even MORE with me because "ME" will get in the way less of my expression of love for others. I think ultimately that was one of my fears, but if this "altered yet still me" me gets along with others better, enjoys work (employees and customers) to its fullest, rides home everyday thinking more about the blessings of breath than about the lanes that are changed, then how wonderful that me might someday be.
And although those opinions have been part of my identity, they won't be there to get in the way of my happiness and joy for life.

Napa Visit
A beautiful vision of Napa Valley. I took a field trip there on Thursday and there was much to be seen. I should be able to fit one more picture on here, although I am not sure I have ever tried it. I was blessed with an excellent, gorgeous day, and let me tell you, the Napa Valley Visitors Center really sets you up for a great day. Although a bit hard to find from the freeway, it is worth the search; maps, coupons, and a list of must sees, all worth the price of admission, free. We first stopped by the V. Sattuoi winery, had sandwiches and homegrown olives. Next we took a ride over to the Beringer winery, took an excellent tour through their caves and learned a lot about their history. After that we swung around to the other side of the valley and went by the Mumm Napa winery, famous for their champagne. They had a wonderful piece of land, sure it was farther than we could even see, and nice shop, and they were even host to a Ansel Adams photographic art gallery. Among the gallery were also windows into various parts of their factory floor which was very cool to see. One room boasts about 1,100,000 bottles in it alone and there were other rooms. One can't help but think of the value of that which rested inside.
I will have to include some more pictures at a later point. This on here is from the V.Sattoui picnic area, an old wine press outside what is now their storage cellars.

GTA Critique
Much of the entertainment I get out of the GTA series is from the scathing, and often balanced yet over exaggerated, social commentary. It looks as though IV will shine again in this category.
