Podcast

So I forgot to talk about in my previous post that I have gotten into listening to podcasts. I don't think any of you listened to The End, but Adam Carolla had a morning talk show that broadcast on The End as well as many other stations. Recently it was canceled not because it wasn't cutting it, it is a VERY popular show, but probably because of financial reasons. Anyway he said that he was going to start a podcast, and I told myself I would look into it but before this week I just hadn't gotten around to it. Now that I have I am finding how cool podcasts are when you are subscribed to them and iTunes can automatically update it daily and automatically put it on your iPod every morning. Anyway I would suggest Adam Carolla's podcast to everyone because I think all of you would enjoy it.

I decided to post about it because this morning's was kinda crazy when we found out that Bald Brian, who was on the show when it aired on radio, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I don't know why I thought anyone would want to know but I think Orion used to listen to the show so maybe he would care to know. Also Teresa Strasser
has been pregnant for a while but I figured Orion wouldn't care too much about that.

Looking forward to throwing a disc around (yes I must talk about frisbee every post) so hopefully we can start that ASAP.

Guild Wars

So mostly what I have been doing lately is getting back into Guild Wars. I made a new prophecies character and decided to get Legendary Defender of Ascalon on it, and then probably just have it be a perma-pre. This is mostly just for fun since I enjoy pre-searing a lot, and also because if we ever get the guild going it's a great place to recruit newbs or people bored with their guilds. I tried a bit of Heroes Ascent today, and it seems things have changed quite a bit. It's no longer everyone running one of three team builds and an old build, IWAY, has been revamped. Played one run with a crappy r5/6+ group that had a bad team build and didn't know how to call spikes. They broke up after one run, and then I joined an r7+ group as infuse. My infusing skills have degraded greatly, but it also doesn't help that before HB/infuse was the infuse build, and now people are using WoH again. It's hard to play with a different meta game, but I probably won't get back into HA anyway with Davis coming into PvE.

I still really am looking forward to Ultimate, but I'm a bit less excited since Ashley decided she's taking even more classes during summer quarter so she won't have time to play. It's starting to get to me that I only see her once a week. She tells me she studies hard at school to optimize her available time, but every time I've talked to her or gone to the UW without her expecting me, she's just hanging out talking to people. I know I can't expect her to be working all the time, but seriously you don't have to lie about it.

Still haven't gotten my hair cut so expect to see before and after pictures posted soon. Be advised however: they are not for the faint of heart.

In other news I'm enjoying watching the sounders and other MSL teams on tv, and I just remembered I haven't watched yesterday's 24 episode. Heroes ended with a pretty interesting twist that I'll elaborate on if requested.

One last thing, earlier I was shooting my airsoft in the back yard and that was fun, so Sai if you ever read this maybe we should start that up again this summer.


Go Sounders!

Rise of the Fallen*

*an attempted reference to "Revenge of the Fallen" which is the title of the new Transformers movie, which also makes a bit of sense in blogging context since I have fallen out of the blogging scene and am now returning

OMG Michael i <3 u! Thank you for making my girlfriend feel like shit and making everything awkward and basically cock-blocking me! Thank you for telling my girlfriend that I'm not good enough for her! That was so awesome of you! You are such a dedicated person, which I hear is a honorable trait. Hell, even when a girl you are interested in has a boyfriend and has told you no many times, you STILL don't give up! You should put that on your resume or something!




Ok I hope everyone is happy now, shit. I don't know why you people even read my blog. By "you people" I am referring to friends of Ashley that feel like prying into her boyfriends mind to find evidence that I am not good enough for her. I ALREADY FREAKING KNOW I'M NOT PERFECT, THANKS. I've told Ashley that she could do better, but she has told me the same. I'm lazy. I'm not charming. I go to community college. I live with my mom. I enjoy very few things (Ultimate Frisbee, playing PC/console games, poker, most other sports, anything that does not require being social unless it's sports or games). And I have very weird pet peeves, including jewelry, make-up, and knee-high boots. There. I'm flawed. Now maybe you don't need to talk about me behind my back to Ashley.

Oh yeah something else I dislike that is unusual: feet. I always wear socks (no not at the beach too) and I don't like sandals when sneakers are an option.
