Stardate: SUPPLEMENTAL
IT'S A MIDDLE-EASTERN PARTY!!!!! -<|:^p !!!!!
LOL! You silly-willy religious zealot! Ronald McDonald is not the devil, he just works for him! But go ahead and play with his awe-inspiring image, for he is merciful and kind. Just look at that innocent scary clown-smile!
A lot of you are no doubt aware of the controversy and rioting sparked by a few innocent cartoons. Now, I will admit that I was mad too when Fox stopped playing the old X-Men cartoon, but these reactions to this unfortunite event are a little much.
"...because I actually want my country to go back to a tyrannical dictatorship, where I could live in complete fear with my sisters being raped everyday and a job consisting of gassing Curdish children and beating them to death if they don't die fast enough!"

The following is from the comic geniuses from SomethingAwful.com. Well, actually it's from their readers who wrote in to talk about their experience on being a total jerk while playing their online games. Some of the other stories are just as incredible. Click anywhere in/on/around this sentence to check out more comedy, especially if you are at work and have writer's block like me. Hilarity ensues:
On my server, there is a very elite, very exclusive guild called "Absolution", that is very easily months ahead of the other guilds in terms of end game content. They completely dominate all PvP they partake in, have three 40-person teams farming Molten Core, and still find time to be relatively nice to anyone outside of their guild. From assisting with Onyxia runs to providing very generous incentives to the unlocking of AQ, Absolution has the shit on lockdown. So naturally, everyone and their sister Debra wishes to join them.
Now my guild, which I wanna make nameless, was as envious of their success as we were upset that we couldn't get membership. So we did what any rational smaller guild would do: we disbanded our guild temporarily, and created "AbsoIution". Note the capital I in the guild name- it is impossible to distinguish it from a lower case "l" in game. Now that we had the identity, we decided to expand & invite anyone who wanted to join. No surprise that in a 8 hour period our membership grew from 30 to 170.
From there it was all a matter of being complete dickheads in game and ruining their good graces. We ninja'd loot without prejudice, we had 20 people go AFK in Alterac Valley, we made General Chat in Ironforge our own personal guild chat. Then, a mere three days after the damage had been done and we had almost every single terrible dramawhore in our collection, my original group quit the guild, we gave leadership of AbsoIution to someone who rarely logs in, then reformed our original guild.
Absolution hasn't been the same since.

Of hot button issues...
This is the bottom of Glenn's front page today (if you check it out tomorrow, it will have changed), with some editorial highlighting and notes. I foung it most interesting what the average america is think about the hot bottom issue Glenn's pole (HA HA! I used the wrong word form! Classic.) is asking about...
I REALLY should be writing a paper right now for my 1pm class. Havn't started it yet.

...the first Galactic Empire
Galactic Empire, v1.0 (not actual size)
Ok, so every time I have people over they want to check out what it on display, Star Wars-wise. Since I've had the COMPLETE (that's right, even the variants) Episode III collection up for months, some since last April when the first waves were released, I thought I'd better take them down, dust them off and put them away for a while. But I just couldn't do that with all of them. The Empire, in it's early days, was a jewel before slowly degenerated into the evil that it fundamently was. This is the newly-formed empire, and all the current differnet variation of troopers and officers that have been released this year.
Also pictured is the entire (printed) series of New Jedi Order books. If you have only ever picked up books to use them as bug-squashers and table-levelers, you will still heartly enjoy this amazing series, full of twists and character depth,... and really sultry descriptions of hottie feme-Jedi Jaina Solo. Oh, yeah...
... and here's part 1 close up, to really appreciate the artistic qualities of Star Wars action figures

I tried this before and it didn't work so...
This is a hilarious Rushism that I tried to post before and it failed miserably (or rather I failed miserably at posting it).
"Old Jedi don't die, they just fade away."
Below is a bigger (maybe but definetly full) version of my facebook photo. I think it's pretty damn sweet and, due to the substantial number of positive posts on my wall, so do you.

Playing with DAZ 3d
DAZ 3d is a sweet little (well, couple hundred megs) program and you can download for free and make some good quality 3d images. I've been working with it for a couple of concepts for work. One is a dinosaur that will be used in a promotion about upgrading your old computer with new parts. The other is just something that is an interesting idea I had and tests the limits of the programs, which go pretty far in my opinion (that's picture below). Notice how the light changes and reflects on the girl's,... um, well, it can make contoured reflecting surfaces so it's pretty darn sweet. This is actually the seventh or eighth version. It took a while to get the lava to glow like I wanted it to.

Yeah,... I'm taking the Praxis II English and Teaching (?) exams on March 4 (that's the first saturday of spring break... kick ass). Gotta get up and be there at 7:30am. So until then, I'm pretty much gonna be out of communication unless I'm on the olde intertron studying (cramming).
