Buffet Brunch

Just got back from a Sunday breakfast shift, and my first brunch shift. Buffet's are pretty awesome to server during, since all the entrees and sides are out in the dining room and the only thing we have to do is get drinks, serve desert, and bus tables. We started off opening breakfast normally, but at lunch time we did buffet. I'm not sure why it was called a brunch since it was all the lunch/dinner foods and I associate brunch with breakfast and lunch foods, but regardless it was a nice break from the normal routine.

Saturday morning was an Ultimate double header, and then I had to work Saturday night, and Sunday morning. Not looking forward to another breakfast shift tomorrow.

My computer is not completely put together since I got the Crossfire cable, and now all I need to do is print out a couple copies of my Paypal receipt for mail-in rebate purposes and I'm all done with my new computer stuff. Might get another monitor soon, I've been getting a lot of hours lately.

There is a free Sounders pre-season game on the 29th at Quest Field that I want to go to, but I don't know if I will find anyone who can go with. Ashley doesn't think she can get that Wednesday off. I'm sure I can find someone though and if not I might just go alone.

Lost a lot of ELO in League. Going to try to stream regularly now that all my computer stuff is done. Might make some youtube videos if we ever do drunk LoL again.

Guild Wars 2 Beta sign ups were open for 48 hours a couple days ago.. and they managed to get 1 million people to sign up. I really hope I get in, but from what people are saying they are going to be looking for lower end PC's to test which systems will be able to play the game.

First Post from New PC

Hurray! It works!
Had a bit of frustration trying to put it together when my LGA 1155 socket wouldn't close without a lot of pressure on the CPU. Eventually I just went for it and so far it seems like nothing was damaged too badly. Other than that I didn't really have any problems putting it together. Still haven't done all the mail in rebates yet, and neither my graphics cards or the motherboard came with a crossfire connector so I need to order one of those too. I'm glad I went with the opaque case siding, because I didn't really do a great job of organizing all the cables.

Trying to start up a YouTube channel with Chris focused on League of Legends stuff, but finding a name that's open has already put us at a creative roadblock.

Guild Wars 2 can not come out soon enough.

Work is work. Chris has been saying he wants more hours, so I offered to trade him my breakfast shift tomorrow for his dinner shift giving him 4 more hours, and then he said he had conditions for me, as if it wasn't ME doing HIM the favor.

Hmm anything I am missing... doesn't seem like it.

I'll start posting more, promise

Work is going alright. Abby just hired a new server so I'm no longer the new guy. Seems like I might have the weekend breakfast shift locked up because I've done it two weeks in a row. May not seem like much of a pattern yet but I'm scheduled to do it this upcoming week to so here's to hoping.

Guild Wars 2 closed beta is underway now so maybe in a months time a more open beta will be available for fans.
Which leads me to...
Needing a new computer to run GW2.
Which leads me to...
I just bought all the necessary components to build my new PC!

I've never made a purchase this large before, so while I will post the specs go easy on me; I don't want to regret purchases that set me back hundreds of dollars.

Still playing League of Legends quite a bit and just broke 1700 on the ladder. I'm pretty happy with how that's going and seems like I can continue to Ryze to the top.

Haven't had a game night or D&D session in a while since Chris and I are now both working. Now that I'm used to the breakfast shift though, I think I'm ready to go out on Friday and Saturday nights as long as it's not much past midnight.

Last Thursday night Chris, David, Eric and I had our (first) drunken smurf League night. It was a lot of fun and hopefully we can continue doing it semi-regularly, especially when I get my computer put together and we can start streaming it.
I'm thinking as far as streaming goes I might get into some video editing as well to capture some of our highlights for YouTube and maybe others will think we are as funny as we know we are.

I think that's all for now. Look forward to more frequent posts in the near future.
