TF2 Scout makes it look easier
(RIP Billy “Our Heavy” Mayes)
Mondays …..
Ok so had the dishes done and the living hairball fiasco my cat pulled last night cleaned up. Got the garden watered, took my oldest to her last day of Summer PE so she doesn’t have to take it during her 1st yr of high school. Twins, lunch fixed and me feeding the cats and watering them as well.
Last night, the laptop? EPIC FAIL it was this piece of crap from like 1994 not even 100 Mhrz. I dropped it off at the DI and drove home and played a little TF2 with Mark which was fun. It is much more fun to play a game you own with friends invlved rather than just a bunch of people you don’t know nor care about how you feel when you play the game. After that it was like 2:10 am I had ot get some sleep after that well he above speaks for itself.
Tommarow is my FRIDAY! wooooo! I don’t have to work for 4 days that’s like 96 hrs DANG! Nice, camping, waterpark, Movie, bbq’ing fireworks on the 4th this is going to be a GREAT July.
Michael Jackson dead…..k
Michael Jackson dead due to cardiac arrest. World goes nuts, as *usual* because OMG he’s the so called king of pop. *Shrugs* I lost respect for the guy a long time ago he attempted to buy the remains of Joseph Carey Merrick otherwise known as the elephant man. Don’t take it this as a hate a post, I just lost respect for him because of that stunt. I think The British College of Medicine is also wrong in keeping the remains as well. The remains should have been placed to rest at the time of his demise. But back to topic, yes he was a great entertainer but there has just been a lot of stunts and actions this man has pulled in his life and now that will all be over looked because… he’s dead. Fine boo hoo…..
I didn’t see many people crying over David carradine when he passed on earlier this month. Also Farrah Fawcett dead as well, the world goes nuts (men mostly) I have to admit she was a great actress and will be sorely missed. Having been in some great movies as well as TV such as Saturn 3, Charlie’s Angels, Silk Hope and such. Ed McMahon also dead as well, thats 4 Famous Celebrities that have dead this month alone. A lot of work for the grim reaper this month it seems. Lets hope he doesn’t pass our house this year. Anyways, that’s all I have for now. Comments, you know where to post em.
SCORE and SCORE!
Wow, I thought today might be a bummed ass day. WRONG, seems someone posted up a spiffy new usb scanner and wanted to get rid of it because it didn’t have its software with it. Well, after replying and picking it up I found the cd inside the lid of the *sealed* scanner bag/package. GO Figure, I priced it out at HP? A Nice 80$ usb scanner with a slides / photonegative adapter to go with it. I might turn around and resell it since I got it for free. Not my fault the person was just -that- stupid.
TF2, pretty cool game some people however just need not to read into someone too much regardless of past history. A game is a game, prime example, on server that I’ve been freq’ing a bit as of late. Come to realize it’s a server favored by a number of people I tended to stay away from on one particular community. Now mind you, I didn’t even realize it till I saw one particular name on steam thru a friend’s profile. On a whim I said “Oh my are there some bob’s in this house?” and the “1st” thing said was “Yea, —— there are a number of us on here you loser”.
Now all kidding aside and yes I know it’s a game. Is that really how a person should react especially a woman? I mean honestly, next to the fact that they know me from some web/forum I had freq’ed in the past. Is that any reason to act like I don’t know “13” instead of how old she really is? Yea the intrawebz r s3r1ou5 business, but please… it’s just a game and if you can’t get over one person playing on the same server as you? Then you have problems. Oh and FYI some people just leave a server in mid-0game due to having to pick up their kids from camp (You know who you are) there was no midgame ragegamequit storm involved. Remember it’s a “-=game=-” people get pissed in game but really there is no real reason no excuse for acting like an ass on the server. Also if you don’t like a particular player? You *can* always mute them from your settings as well.
Oh laptops are allowed back at work HUZZAH! So now I can get back to im’ing from meebo to home, sweet! Anyways, that’s it for now. 4 hrs left till home and back to TF2 for at least an hour to wind down. Till then, frag you later…….
Father’s day
Well, seems the wife wanted a new grill so guess what I got for father’s day? A NEW BBQ Grill by kenmoore. Chicken came out nice actually rather suprised on that. Also seems like I’ll have some snacks too for me after work. I have a nice 24 oz. of tecate waiting for me at home in the office. SO TF2 Bound locked and well, (lol) slightly loaded if I decide to hit the sake as well afterwards. I definitely want to kick some ass tonite.
*Sigh* Yes sigh -again-
Seems someone at work f-bomb’ed up and now all laptop usage is banned from the floor because some asshat thought it would be cute to try to hack the database. Seriously what type of mental defiencey does one need to pull off some stupid assinine stunt and ruin it for everyone? Don’t know but I seriously hope work does prosecute the little turd burgler for ruining it for everyone else.
Also, AA 3 is out, seems cool enough, but I’m goign to stick to my TF2 and AFB + BuF. It’s safe, I don’t have to deal with dillholes I know, and I can invite Mim anytime I see her on steam. More art to come soon, TWD from BuF will have something for me to surpise the anime UT3 players out there with something uber cool. Tommarow is father’s day, and I am going to sleep.
Days off are nice
No, really they are. No work, time to spend with kids on summer vacation. Able to take them to the library, enjoy some reading time with them. Pick up some of the rooms in the house. Cleaned out the dishwasher again, if they would just wipe and clean the plates afterwards.
TF2 is indeed quite fun I like the Towlie server, seems to be a decent bunch of people on there. Mim’s always busy though when I ask her to play maybe I should just take the hint as its implied. But overall the setup was pretty cool updating took nothing and the voip is pretty sweet.
Even talked to a friend of mine during a match in iceland of all places. So the framework they built this one is pretty cool for voice, I was pleasantly suprised. Although I like the game I just don’t see as many of my friends on them as much as I’d like to and it would really be fun to even have the OFC jump in and play as well. But then again I really don’t hear much from them either nowdays.
saturday afternoon
Well our youngest seems ok, although the fever has been going on and off for the past 2 days. Doctors are testing h1n1 now for her but severally doubt it is that even if the symptoms were simuliar. Which is good is take a little stress off my mind.
Lawn no longer looks like the amazon thank god. Seems the lawn mower’s sparkplug was causing a loss on compression. Got the tighened and it worked again. Oh the cat gouges I got a few weeks ago are finally healed w/o scarring or infection.
Got uPaint 1.0.3 and KAT 1.2 installed again finally with the extras as well. so looks like no more sitting on my ass wishing. I now get to get back into learning on how to skin again. I have ot get Maya installed and Blender as well too.
Kids and germs what ya gonna do?
Seems like our youngest has caught a cold/flu (we hope its just that). Also today is the day we go from analog to digital. No, sorry to some of you My tv card is still in operational order. Today was also the last day of school for the twins. Although, like I said our youngest caught a bug and she stayed at home, and missed out although her sister “did” get a new soccer ball for having perfect attendace for the 4 yr in a row now.
Oh, the team has a new coder as well. I’m in contact with him updating him to the latest news and progress the team has so far map wise. Also for UT3 this coming week we should have a demo of an imported vehicle which should be a decent fighting oppentant against the necris’s deathwalkers. TWD is doing the awesome work on that one, and should prove to be an interesting beta test.
Got into TF2 been playing with HazelH and beleive it or not Anathema as well which was quite surpising for me. She does take a good beating and dishes it out as well. I do hope to play with Anathema more since it is fun to team up with her. Anyways, I have to jet and get things ready for tonite. Having a celebration of no more school time and since we can’t really go out to eat this time? We’re fixing the dinner and grabbing a few dvds for the night’s entertainment extravaganza! Woohoo till later peeps.
Oh and Mcclaud had a had son this week go send some congrats to him and his on thier bundle of joy names “laim” (Short ver.) Congrats guy…….
Kung Fu Hero is with Buddah
THAILAND BANGKOK — David Carradine, star of the TV series “Kung Fu” also Infamous for Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill,” was found dead Yesterday in Thailand. Police said he appeared to have hung himself.
The officer investigating this death, Teerapop Luanseng, said the 72-year-old actor was staying at a suite at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. “I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in one of the closest in the suite,” Teerapop said. He said it’s May more or less is suicide.
Michael Turner a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday morning, but cannot provide further details out of consideration for his family. Mr. Carradine was in Bangkok shooting the movie “Stretch,” said his manager, Chuck Binder. “We’re very saddened, he was a wonderful guy,” said Lori Binder, a partner in the agency that represented Carradine.
Thai newspaper “The Nation” said Mr. Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid sometime Yesterday morning. Police investigation says that it seemed that a cord from the curtains in the suite was used in the process of the hanging. They also mentioned that it didn’t seem to be a struggle or an assault.
Police said Carradine’s body was taken to a local hospital to determine if it fact this was a suicide or maybe worse. David Carradine appeared in over 100 feature films and acted with such stars as Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. One of his earlier but more memorable film roles other than Caine was as singer Woody Guthrie in Ashby’s 1976 “Bound for Glory.”
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75. His return to TV where he played Caine’s grandson in the mid 1990’s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. His return to the top of the charts recently with such characters like Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga “Kill Bill” and his lead as “Bill”.
The character, the worldly father figure of a pack of crack assassins, was a shadowy presence in 2003’s “Kill Bill — Vol. 1.” In that film, one of Bill’s former assassins begins a vengeful rampage against her old associates after being left for dead. In “Kill Bill — Vol. 2,” released in 2004,Uma Thurman’s character comes face to face again with Bill himself. A role that brought Mr. Carradine a Golden Globe nomination as best supporting actor.
Which truly is sad because I grew up with Kung Fu and saw some of his other work on USA’s old “Kung fu Theater” and some of his american based feature movies as well. He will be missed and my heart and condolenses go to his family.
