Allergy season has finally caught up with me. The pills have been making me feel drowzy. -_-
Today I went on a booze run to California. Only to buy tea!!! That’s right… I’m that hopeless. Actually it’s southern sweet tea flavored vodka but hey…
Then tonight was movie night at a friends house next door where popcorn, pizza bites and booze could be found. It was awesome, everything besides allergy season is awesome lately.
All in an Overlord’s day
>The Overlord’s Easter.
Like every year I worked Easter Sunday today. But this year was different, it was snowing and raining. Not making that up either, fell as snow and melted when it got down near the ground. This weird woman was creeped out by it. “This isn’t right” she said as she shook her head. I kindly asked her if she wanted to join me to work in it for 8 hours with me, then I winked and laughed. Yeah she wasn’t happy about that…
I was prepared to fight the storm today though, I had on all my rain gear. In fact a kind gentlemen yelled at me and said I looked like a construction worker. And another guy asked me if I liked music. What kind of a question is that? I said “Ummmm, maybe.” and he said “Well I noticed you humming a song one day…” Then he pulls out his card that has all this info on it. I kept it in my possession just to show some friends. I have his phone number, email, myspace, facebook, twitter and itunes links. And that was pretty much the excitement of my Easter Sunday. Aside from coming home to an omnom feast.

I haven’t done anything interesting lately. Today I went for a walk, tried out the new ATM machine, bought a new bag, and filmed this video:
It’s yet another HL2 leak map. I know I’ve been playing with the leak a bunch lately, but it’s so addictive!
>Late Night Open Thread
RL has been picking up. Over the weekend we had company stay over, plus work made me feel real tired enough to not turn either one on for a day and a half…
While work has been exhausting it has been fun for quite a few of us to watch one of our co workers get fed the riot act over and over again about one thing or another. He eye shops constantly during his shift, watches TV during his shift, randomly decides to hang around with his friends and shrug off all his work onto us… He seems to be paranoid around me because whenever he tries these things while I’m around he’ll ask me if I’ve done any of my duties or something along those lines, that and his facial expressions are real easy to read. Oh, and to top it off he almost damaged our main bosses car. Yeah… We’ve been having REAL fun with him.
Oh well… Happy weekend to me.
>A Dejavu post.
I was reading this thread and decided to dust off an old chestnut of a rant I wrote last year and tweaked it slightly since it’s pretty much the same situation.

We the Uru purists should be in charge of this new Uru. But we face a problem.
It’s clear that when we’re this outnumbered by non canon people who want to make nonsense, run around in colored skin or as upside down flying bahro, we have to rule the non canon through intimidation. That’s why the single most important thing we can do as cavern purists is dominate and decide all fan ages and do all the thinking for the fans. For we know what’s good for everyone. Need MORE proof?
“Let us join together and to rule over content upon sea and sky from hard disk to hard disk”- Joe The Greeter 4002.
I’d say that about covers it. Because if we don’t dominate the non canon people, you’d better believe they will be dominating us!!! Imagine if you will, someone making a YouTube video from this idea.
“As the shards churn” – By Overlord Tomala.
One liner: What if the haxxors won and we surrendered to our “fellow” community members?
Tag line: “It’s just like MOUL! Only at our fingertips!!!”
Where: Any fan run server you want to go to
When: The near future! All hail the shard owners once again! All having the ability to do as they did in MOUL, only now them and their team of haxx0rs have source code at their fingertips. Their first project is to engineer purple laser guided loaves of French bread to defend themselves from the flying lima bean infestation.
Our heroine (the overlord, who in this story, plays an ordinary equal), has linked to Eder Kemo on one of the fan run servers, only to find that someone turned the brain trees into singing jellyfish, the puffer plants into giant turkey basters, and the pond water into lime jello. Fearing for her life she links to Ae’Gura, only to find King Kong and a T Rex knocked the Arch over in a verbal fight to see who is more right than the other.
Some shards are giving lessons in D’ni, but only one shard is giving lessons in Sheepish.
When all hope seems to be lost, Tomala teams up with the last surviving leaders from the last reign of power. And they create the meter room shard.
The end.
>Bowling was fun!
Well I just barely stayed in the triple digits tonight. I am proud to say that at one point in the game I did score a perfect 69.
I missed bowling so much, even the crappy bowling music that comes with it. We never really compete, we just do it for fun. with some friends from work.
Wonder if I should bring the camcorder next time…
>Open Thread
Well, my hair is once again Super Special Awesome. During my walk there and back I saw the damage the storm did. The bowling alley sign collapsed and fell on the sidewalk, and some fences have been ruined. I’m surprised that our street managed to stay in tact.
So then I did a little cooking today, some egg flower soup, some stir fry and noodles and a healthy salad. All packed with the best flavors I could find. And beverage of choice had to be that green tea jasmine flowering tea. Man that stuff is good (though it can be described as a perfume like tea). Got 2 good brews out of it.
I played some L$D2 tonight, got Gold on the mall survival map. We used the grenade launcher to propel 3 people up to the 4th floor and hid where the tanks couldn’t get us. It was fun.
Ahh, back to stuff.
>First post of the new year
I’ve been meaning to get around to this, but you know… Not much to write about. Things are going alright with me, etc.
New years eve was great, I didn’t have to work at all. And even better I didn’t have to be in until 4:00 the next day! There was much booze and snackage to go around. My new years resolution is the same one I do every year, don’t make one.
I decided to pull out the ol bamboo steamer tonight for an experiment. Grape leaves with a spicy rice stuffing. That should go nicely with my tension tamer tea. I like drinking that when I’m not feeling right.
We had a little surprise this evening. The hot water valve for the washer decided to spurt out. Luckily it was caught before a flood could happen. It was just a largeish puddle by the time I got down there to take the stuff out.
>Christmas Open Thread
I won’t have to return to work until Sunday. That in itself is a nice Christmas present. Tonight I had to make 2 trips to the mailbox to get all the packages and letters (and some of you guys are to thank for that 😛 ). We also have a bunch of goodies from our friends locally. Our teeth will probably rot out by the end of January.
Tonight I played a bit with Day Of Defeat Source in garrysmod. I now have all mountable content in gmod! I’m going to try and get back into making little machinimas. Left 4 Dead (and RL) has kinda left me distracted as seen here:

I wasn’t around much yesterday. I was enjoying actually having Sunday off! It was San’s birthday and we had company over for pizza and gifts (xmas and bday). Then I worked on a persons computer for awhile. What a piece of work! I won’t even go into that. Lets just say I have my work cut out for me big time.
And today I worked a full work day. Enough hours to get an hour lunch. I brought my laptop for personal entertainment but sadly there were no free plugs, they were all being used for xmas lights in the breakroom. But at least I had my mp3 player! Saved me from the constant xmas music that’s been playing since spanksgiving…
I remembered when I loved listening to Christmas music. But ever since Christmas began starting around August I’ve lost quite a bit of the spirit, mostly due to the demanding public. One thing goes wrong and the world comes to an end for them and they have to yell so everyone can hear them… Some of the spirit still remains though within the cookies, eggnog, and gift giving to one another, and I can’t forget the Christmas music parodies either. All of that puts me to ease after a hard day of public stupidity.
