"The Juice Is Loose!"

I might be dating myself, but remember that ad slogan for Starburst? It was used right up until OJ killed his wife and Ron Goldman. Maybe I am remembering it now because as you may have heard, OJ has run afoul with the law, this time for armed robbery with a dangerous weapon in Las Vegas.

What is the most amusing about this, is his 'defense'. See, he was taking back memorabilia that was his so he couldn't have stolen anything. Sadly, with the death of Johnny Cochran, there will be no one to create the witty rhyme to save him from jail.

"If the memorabilia's mine, there was no crime" hrm....

Important Life Lesson #5853

Watching 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' late at night while you are falling asleep can lead to some really messed up dreams.

Ergo Proxy, the 15 second review.

Blade Runner, with goths. Minus Harrison Ford. Or any lighting.

Tenjho Tenge, the 15 second review.

Gratuitous fan service, kids brutally beating up other kids in high school, and overly long flashback arcs. Still kinda cool.

Was that 15 seconds?

The New Phone.

My trusty W600i phone died a painful death by falling into the toilet. Don't ask. I gotta say, the new 800i from Sony is pretty sweet.

I guess the point of posting was to prove I am still kicking, just in need of more rant-worthy topics.

Maybe next time I will discuss the cycle of suck in World of Warcraft's raiding.

Warriors buffed. Druids nerfed. World ending.

ignored, originally uploaded by dragonpup.

That was from a Feral Druid on his alt to my Warrior. As you may have heard, they are getting the bear nerfed out of them.


Seriously, it is about time Warriors are getting something, and they are getting quite a bit. More rage, and Thunder Clap as a AOE threat maker are the 2 big things in 2.0.10. Other problems include being too vulnerable to crowd control, and magic that simply slices through armor like it wasn't there which is exacerbated by crowd control.

Seriously, I was just looking for an excuse to post since I have been woefully lacking in blogging.

Blizzard to server community: Frak you!

As players of World of Warcraft may be aware, there is sometimes a queue to get on your server if you play on the popular ones. This has been a problem since WoW launched over 2 years ago.

Now Blizzard has come up with a solution...

Forcibly break up realms. Yes, that's right kids. Blizzard will split a realm and and its players to another new realm. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, besides everything.

MMORPGs are ALL about the community. Who you play with matters greatly. Breaking it up in this manner is ridiculous, and unacceptable. On top of that, it is a lazy option that does not fix the core problems.

Oh, and what happens if you and your friends/guild end up on the wrong side? You can pay Blizzard $25 to fix their mess.

Deanna Troi is the worst counselor ever

...and other things I learned from Star Trek.

Seriously, while gawking at her has a calming effect, let's face it, she's bad at her job. It doesn't take years of school, or telepathy to tell when a Klingon is angry. They are ALWAYS angry!
And what happens when she deals with Ferengi, whose minds are resilient to her powers? She can't tell Picard a damn thing of what they want(money).

You know all of those fancy bypasses and overrides and emergency overrides that were installed into your ship? They are really some wiseass engineer's idea of a practical joke. All they need are spring loaded snakes to spring out of the consoles to get the point across to the crew who keep wondering why the they never seem to work.

What beats Nazis? Klingons with Bat'Leths.

If the captain doesn't know your name before the mission begins, starting a living will right away.

Am I going anywhere with this? Sort of not really. Star Trek is great for what it is and was, but after watching the current Battlestar Galactica, most other scifi shows are pretty light hearted. But I do hope one day the Trek franchise will rise again.

Abby has passed.

It became very clear since my last post that things were not getting better and her already diminished ability to walk was even worse. We did the humane thing and had her put to sleep. She will be cremated and ashes spread over Stonehearst, which was one of her favorite places. I have a feeling we'll still be cleaning up all of her hair for years to come. She sheds quite a lot.

It will be different without her around, but in the end it was the right thing to do. She was always very active in life, and these past few days her mood started to get worse since she could barely move on her own power.
