I went on VACATION. To NC to visit Jason, D and Jen. GPS told me to take 501, that was a lot of fun. Slow, but curvy. hmm curves. it was AWESOME.

Link to TRIP ROUTE

We didn't even go sight seeing. And no we didn't go to the beach. Fuck the beach. Hell I didn't even go to Starbucks until I drove home today. Yesterday, whatever. Sunday. I hate allergies... Also I never know what to do around dogs.. and small children. D and Jen have 2 dogs. no kids..... This was also the first time that I met Jen, but damn she and D are so well matched/suited. Speaking of matched...... Crystal is getting married on September 13th. CRAZY.

Who is going to play WARHAMMER ONLINE? I tried to read through the lore this weekend and watch J and D play a game but I couldn't follow it..... The bickering was soothing though. Always a comfort to hear those two argue. I used to go to sleep listening to them on Ventrillo when we were playing WoW and DAoC. So yeah we're all going to play WAR online and I have no idea what to play really.... I was thinking Chaos Zealot and High Elf White Lion... I just want my beloved Dragoon and Bard without playing FFXI again because that would mean I'd be alone even with Komet by my side. :'(

I <3 CSI

Wow the past 2 episodes have really screwed Catherine over and over and over. Even if the first time she wasn't physically screwed (woooo). First episode gets ruffied and dumped in a sleazy hotel room, wakes up naked assuming the worst. Does some of all that embarrassing work herself to be saved later. Calls Sara (Don't worry Momma, your Angel's coming) (don't ruin my dream). Sara processes the room while Cath processes what she can of her stuff and gets Hodges to do the rest hush-hush. I just kept mentally praying that she's not going to get in trouble for going against the regulations this time.

Sam comes by to just see how "Muggs" is doing.. It was creepy timing.

Catherine goes to pick up Lindsey from practice (Hello Lindsey #2 or is it 3?) the ages seem to be FUBARED BUT WE SHALL SEEEEE
So they're driving, Linds is in the back passenger seat and Cath is driving of course they're fighting about the rehearsals and stuff... Cath is looking back and forth constantly when BOBAM they get by a car knocking cath out and keeping her block in her car. second car from behind comes out and runs off with Lindsy

With the help of the male dynamic duo of Rick and Nick they find Lindsey and mother and daughter are reunited.

oh damn i will have to finish tis later.

Drove by IBM a buncha times. I /waved.
Went to Hyde Park to check out FDR's place. Very nice, but /pass on the tour.
Drove to Hudson and sat in the park while Dad went to the courthouse. DS and direct sunlight not so friendly.

Once dad was ready we picked him up and went in search of graveyards. BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!

#1 Nigger Orchard Cemetery in Ancram
#2 Reuben McArthur Cemetery in Ancram
#3 Pine Plains Cemetery in Pine Plains. WOW

Those top two are in this guys backyard, basically in the middle of no where. But my dad's ancestors we went a hunting. and capturing with darn digital cameras. But without snaring first with shaving cream. heh heh Its amusing to watch if anything else.

Drove from Woodstock VA to Poughkeepsie, NY today.

Got gasoline at Turkey Hill (yes the same as the yummy yummy ice-cream) near Scranton, PA. I just had to point that out because their Rocky Road is the bomb. Yay for Martin's having just opening up in Staunton because they sell it. They're owned by GIANT Food of Carlisle, PA which is owned by Ahold which also owns Giant Food of Landover, MD. I've had this discussion before with Dave. ;) Wiki ftw.

Dad is going to the courthouse in the morning to look up records regarding his ancestors. After that we'll head off to Hudson to look up records there and then off to the cemeteries to find where they're buried. It will be this big loop till we come back to Poughkeepsie.

There's a Namco here and hopefully its an arcade. I will check it out and report back. I will also be off to Victoria's Secret (I know it, do you?) in search of the purrrrfect strapless bra.

We ate at Coyote Grill tonight. Had Shrimp Fajitas. Strange but good. Shrimp + Sour Cream works. Dad tried to get a business card as we were leaving and managed to dump everything on some poor unsuspecting guy.

Hurrah for CSI:NY making use of Claddagh rings, and hullo Claire Forlani. :) That purple top on Melina Kanakaredes looked fabulous!

Note: It's fun posting after I've taken Ambien. Even if it comes out like a drunken post.

OH OH HO HOOH OH!!!!!

CSI LAS VEGAS THURSDAY NIGHT @ 9PM CBS. Watch it so you will have a grasp of what I will ramble on about tomorrow night. >:)

Got a pair of sunglasses before we could leave for the trip they're all cool and stuff ya, gonna take getting used to.

Saying Hello and Goodbye from Woodstock, VA. (I-81 Exit 283)

@The Budget Inn because the Comfort Inn is booked. It's the 3rd floor, but near the Elevator so apparently I did good. :)

<3 Love y'all.


btw NDS WIFI and hotel free wifi have issues.. :(

Plan on being around Rochester, NY tomorrow.funfunfunfun

So may I'll drop a line and see whats goin on.

Ok so I put this image up on my myspace account. I figured it was finally about time that I got off my ass and talked about how I ended up in OKC and who I'm rooming with.

You all know I play World of Warcraft. I met Brian, Heather, Ben, Jonny and Forrest in the game on the Khadgar server. This was about two years ago. Brian and I met in game because of our mutual friend Kendle. And the rest of the guys I met when I helped them on a BFD run.

Brian and Ben were roommates at the time. Brian and Heather are brother and sister. Ben and Heather were dating at that time and Kaitlinn is their daughter. Jonny and Brian are friends from school and so on. Forrest and Ben are cousins. At that time Angela was an ex of Brian's and Chrysia is their daughter.

Brian is a trucker, and after I had my breakdown last year, he invited me to go over the road with him. So I did for a few months. It was fun most of the time, and tense a few times considering most of you know how much I need my personal bubble. But still, we didn't kill each other. On some of his home times we went to his place in Bethany and that's how I met the others in the flesh.

I decided I was going to move, but that I needed to make some money for the move and all that, and that's how I ended up at TRU Harrisonburg. The plan was that I was only going to be seasonal and leave in January, but then we found out we were closing and I refused to leave them stranded.

During the time I was working for Toys R Us, Brian and Angela got back together and got married. Ben and Heather broke up and Ben and Ashley got together... So the people I'm actually living with are as follows

Brian, Angela and Chrysia. *note* Angela is pregnant.
Ben, Ashley and Kaitlinn.
Me.

Granted it's a lot of people, but I have my personal room and that's all I really need. And it's still not as crowded when I was living in Waynesboro with Tonya.

Forrest is my best friend here, everyone thinks it's really odd how we get along, but he's a cool guy.

I hope the visuals help now when I start talking about so and so.

Call me when you get into Staunton, I would like to hear how the trip went and that you made it here ok.

Work Monday night was slow and boring, as far as work goes. But it was still cool because working with Kristin and Tony is always fun. We ordered Pizza and only had to tip the driver.

After work was over I got my stuff together and went to Williamsburg to meet up with Dave and Maram. I got there around 4:30AM and stayed in the same room with Maram, and shock of shocks.... The same bed, but it was a friggin' huge bed. We ended up talking till 7AM or so. We should have continental breakfast.

We woke up late and didn't leave for Jamestown till 1:30PM, but it was still a lot of fun. They are doing a lot of construction to expand Jamestown, which we thought was funny.. Signs everywhere said Building Toward 2007. Which is in reference to the 400 year anniversary of Jamestown. Maram was wandering around like she was in heaven... Damn inquisitive anthropologist. ~,^

We watched a video and a truck was backing up outside - the timing was perfect. At the same time a canoe was docking (in the video) so it was like the canoe was beeping in colonial Jamestown.

Swimsuits at K-Mart suck, but that's probably a given. I must find a new swimsuit before Jessi and I go to VA Beach. Hey, this is still available, maybe I should just give in and buy it. But would I be a small? ^^;;;;;

I drove back from Williamsburg Wednesday morning. I had to be at work at 9AM. I was sooooooo tired, but I made it. I went to bed at 10PM last night and woke up at 1PM today. >,<

I didn't get very far on my writing, it's just been pissing me off. This is what I get for not really writing in ages. blah.

Kabamaru Igano: Thanks for having us over, next time we'll stay longer (and arrive earlier ^_^''').
Kabamaru Igano: btw: Dave and I are thinking that we should probably do something over spring break, and were thinking that you should probably be involved in it some how, so here's what we'd like to do:
Kabamaru Igano: We're thinking that we leave nova Sunday morning for Luray Caverns, and then in the afternoon drive to Staunton (spend the night in the area), go around Staunton in the morning, leave for Charlottesville in the afternoon (spend the night in the area), go around Charl. in the morning, leave for Williamsburg in the afternoon (spend the night in the area), go around Williamsburg in the morning, leave for nova in the late afternoon (spend the night in the area), go around nova in the morning, leave for Staunton in the afternoon, spend some time in Staunton, and leave for nova in the late evening.
Kabamaru Igano: That means, from Sunday morning till Thursday late night, we'll visit: Luray (once), Staunton (twice), Charlottesville (once), Williamsburg (once), and nova (once).
Kabamaru Igano: ^_^ We're wondering if you'd like to join us?
Kabamaru Igano: We're going to see if Eddie's interested (he'd have to take Tuesday off, and possibly Thursday if he's interested in going with us the second time to Staunton).
Kabamaru Igano: Basicly, it's a 5day/4night Roadtrip thru Virginia ^_^
Kabamaru Igano: anyway, you're sleeping now, so keep doing that, but let me know what you think ^_^ ... we'd love to have you along!

Eddie and I watched the end of Buffy tonight. I wasn't disappointed. We went to Walmart tonight, and they had BtVS for XBOX so I picked it up. I finally found it. Only $29.95, only for XBOX. :) I've been checking out the Gamefaqs message boards, and there's updates on Chao's Bleeds. This game is gonna rock. Must wait till August though.....

Here's a lowdown of all the fun stuff I found that you should check out, cuz you know you wanna.

( Article from SCIFI.COM, but I got it off a gamefaqs message board... )

Comic and Novelisation in the works.

New pictures from GAMESPOT
There's pictures of Buffy, Willow, Xander, Spike, Anya, Tara, Faith, and Sid... plus some character designs of MOW-types..

Meridel, you must give in! How can you say no to Spikey? ;)

E3 video from IGN. B, Spike, Xand and Faith in action.

I'm going to pick it up for XBOX, it'll be out for all 3 systems but I hear it will have DVD content so I'd stay away from the Cube if I were you....

I just have to break this down...... In multiplayer mode there will be up to 24 different playable characters. We know there's Buffy, Xander, Willow, Spike, Anya, Tara, Faith, Sid. According to sci-fi we've got Ripper, Kakistos, and Joss. I'm going to assume that Ethan would be playable. I wonder if they would make Giles in good old Tweed a separate character, or maybe they'll have different skins/costumes for the characters that you can choose. Sadly, I've heard that Glory will NOT be in it. ;-; ;-; ;-;

I would be very happy if these characters made it into the game: Dawn, Oz, Cordy, Wes, Kendra, Dru, Andrew, Mayor Wilkins, and Warren but only so I could flay him over and over again. >:} heheheh. But according to Chris Golden "Dawn is nowhere to be found." Dude, WTF, the game is supposedly season 5?!?!?!. Others that would be cool are the first Slayer, Adam, Jonathon (from Superstar though, lol). I'd be surprised to see any Potentials, or should I say Slayers, make it into the game. Ken would be cool though. Joyce and Jenny Calendar would rock too, but doesn't seem likely. Really, what kind of attacks would a techno pagan have? Give me a minute while I Google, (oh wait that's what Will does..) So not all of these characters could be in multiplayer but a cameo some how would be just as good.. And yes I am aware that I left out Riley. :P

Amber def is the voice of Tara, because she talked about doing the voice a long time ago way before I could even find anything on the game... Robin Sachs is doing the voice of Ethan. I am also assuming that everyone else will do the voices, because they did for the first one. Aly, Tony, Nicky, James, David and Charisma did voices for the first one. SMG and Mark Metcalf did not, although Giselle Loren and D.C. Douglas were great replacements. I know Sarah is not doing the voice in CB either, and I have no idea if the Master will be in CB or not.

My final rant is that I think that info about Tara being a vampire is off. Cuz one, she was shot, so there's NO way she could be a vamp unless they go in the route of "The Wish." But my main reason is that the character model of Tara is human looking, and very alive, non-vampirey dead like at all. Unless they actually have 2 versions of Tara, good and evil, but that seems like too much to allow for a lesbian character. ~,^ LMAO. Ok ok, bad joke... Anyways, Amber did agree to do the voice for the game when she declined to portray Tara as the First in Conversations with Dead People (hence we see Cassie instead)... And I know this is just a game, but if Amber is ok with whatever they do and Chris Golden is one of the main writers than I can't stress. Too much. lol

OK I've been "typing"/researching this for hours and I just found a good response to the Scifi article from Chris Golden regarding the game and Willow/Tara.

Chris Golden on Chaos Bleeds & Tara

Aly interviews well. It was cute and funny. David's interview just sucked. Very boring.

DAMN YOU ALASKA. It's the only level I am able to obtain GOLD for in Show Off mode. ;-;

I just saw Felicia Day, the actress that plays Vi on BtVS, in a Stanley Morgan commercial. It made me happy. I sadly have to admit that I missed episode 21 last week. But Eddie and I will be watching tomorrow's episode. Oh, continuing on BtVS sightings..

Alyson Hannigan and David Boreanaz will be on Craig Kilborn tonight. :)

Ok, so I haven't updated in awhile.

Eddie, Leia and I saw Matrix Reloaded on Wednesday night at 10PM. Eddie picked up Enter the Matrix the next morning. I completed the game yesterday having gone through it as Ghost first then Niobi. Playing the game gives a lot of background as to what Niobi and Ghost were doing during the movie while we watched Neo... My favorite scenes from the game are Ghost and Trinity, and the scenes that Niobi and Ghost have with Persephone.

OMFG. I have to post this before I forget AGAIN. On the way to Joan's house Saturday night we passed this Plaza. We were in Frisco or some nearby city, not sure, but it was def Texas. The marquee read like this:

DONUTS
GUNS
DAY SCHOOL

O_o We thought that was really messed up so we turned around and got a picture of it.

Last night there was a huge thunder storm. It was SOOOO cool.

I stayed up all of Friday night packing, and watching movies. (Citizen Ruth and When Night Falls). Saturday morning, I left for Eddie's house. Eddie went to work at 2PM and I went to sleep on the futon. I woke around 9PM and Eddie didn't home from TRU till 'round midnight. We left NoVA just after 1AM and reached Staunton around 4AM. We stopped by my house so I could get a few things, check in with the 'rents and ice for the cooler. Eddie got to meet the boys too, they were more receptive to Eddie then they were to Pernell when they met. LOL. We left Staunton about 4:30AM. Eddie tried as best as he could to sleep, but it was on and off. There was a lot of fog, but few cars and trucks on the road so it wasn't bad. We ran into a bad patch of rain in TN, but that was the worst of it.

We stopped for lunch at 12:30PM (EST). There was a TRU nearby. Apparently TRU's in TN open at noon. SO I made Eddie call Sheldon at work just to tell him. I actually heard Sheldon's reaction when Eddie told him, he was not pleased. ^___^ After lunch, I finally let Eddie drive.. LOL. I got very little sleep while Eddie drove. I was wide-awake, I blame my meds. ^^ We switched off a couple more times till we finally got to his mom's house in Frisco at 12AM (EST). We stayed up for a while talking before eventually going to bed. I have the guest room, and Eddie has the leather couches (YOU remember them, right?) in the living room.

I woke up around 3PM and Eddie got chicken pizza from Jim's. YUM. I played a lot of Tricky on the GCN, working on the trick books and getting gold metals in racing. Man, looking at Texas. So far I just think Wisconsin, only SOUTH. Everything's flat and dry. Although there are those little bumps in the roads that Eddie loves to refer to as "The titties of the city." Eddie finally talked to Leia tonight, she called when we got back from Sonic, Eddie forced us to talk, so it was uncomfortable. I just have to say I love her voice, very cute. Tomorrow night we're going to see X2 with Joan (it'll be my 3rd time seeing it. LOL). Wednesday night Eddie and I will be seeing Matrix with Leia. We're finally going to meet. I'm really excited, Eddie is making such a big deal out of it, but I know it'll be cool. I just hope she doesn't think it'll be weird.

Sunday Eddie and I leave for Texas. He's going to drive to Staunton after work Saturday night and we leave Sunday morning in my car. The drive will be fairly easy, just like going to Arkansas, only farther. I figure I'm going to try to do most of the driving and let Eddie sleep in the morning and we can switch later. We're both extremely excited. All we can think is ROAD TRIP!!! Eddie has been driving with an expired license since the end of April so he has to take care of it before we leave. Otherwise, you are NOT driving ma cah, sugah!

I've been playing SSX and SSX Tricky trying to hone my skills before I go up against Joan and Vince. Vince may be out of town while we're there. That would suck, because I really want to meet him. I'm excited about meeting Leia too. It's such a big deal for Eddie, ^^;;;

Speaking of SSX, SSX3 is coming. Booyaka. Mac, Elise, Zoe, Moby, Psymon, and Kaori will be returning characters. 10 characters in total, including that French chick they have in the trailer. I'm so psyched. Plus I get my 3 characters, Moby, Psymon and of course my girl Zoe. Eddie and Sheldon must be pissed that I get my faves while they don't... See, last year when the four of us played SSX Tricky like mad, it evened out so that we each had 3 characters that were ours. We each had our one fav +2. No one dares mess with my Zoe. Sheldon has Brodi, Eddie and Elise. Jackie has Kaori, Mac and Marisol. Eddie has JP, Luthor and Seeiah. Granted Sheldon still has Elise, but Brodi was his favorite. Frankly I'm surprised they got rid of JP, Poor Eddie lost everyone. But this new girl seems promising, I have a feeling that she will be a fav along with Zoe.. She's got that look that I like. ~,^ Jackie will be happy with Kaori and Mac.

Well, this has been a busy yet not so busy weekend. I've mostly been trying to keep myself from being too idle. That I find is always bad. So that has meant mostly DOAX as you can tell from my previous posts....

I finally talked to Mustin a couple nights ago. We don't really talk anymore, and sadly I have a feeling that's how it's going to stay. All I have to say is that with Mustin everything definitely has to be OneUp. On another note, I stopped working on my ARK site. I burned myself out working on it nonstop for that time period and frankly right now I can't stand to look at the pictures or read my journal, let alone make a website out of it all.. I promise I'll finish it. All I need is time.

My sister's computer seems to be utterly broken, and I really don't think I can salvage it. It is really old anyways She keeps calling me about it. Really annoying. I want to go see Jay on Tuesday and possibly leave Thursday to go to Cathy's. That way Jay and I can happily watch Willow and Cor as we like to call BtVS and AtS. I think I need to figure out how to work SiTs into the title, because they're some pretty kick ass chicks. Well, at least they will be ^.~

kiryuutougasama Is finally coming down here to see me next weekend. That makes me so happy. We haven't hung out by ourselves in what feels like ages. Maybe he'll finish my dad's current puzzle like last time. (Well technically not last time, but....) So much has happened to the both of us. We definitely have to put in some hardKOR time, and hopefully some BtVS season 7.... Slowly I will turn everyone... I got edokun hooked on AtS at least, and Jay hooked on BtVS & AtS. My hardest task will be turning Maram. I'll have to make some sort of pact with her concerning Farscape...

Speaking of Farscape, it really is a good show. Claudia Black is just too awesome. I watched this interview at BBC Cult where a fan asked her if Ayern or Buffy would win in a fight... Claudia said that Ayern would win because she has a gun (nuff said). She also said that if it was herself (Claudia) that she would lose. So, the interviewer asked how she would do against Sarah Michelle Gellar. Claudia replied that SMG would kick her ass, no doubt.. ^_^ Highly amusing.

Note To Self: I need to call Kirby today during business hours to verify the schedule otherwise this week will be even more screwy. (And no I'm not talking about that pink marshmallow).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Amber Benson and me. ^_____________________^
