Update

May 29th, 2006 1 comment

For anyone who didn’t know, I’ve got a new job. I’ve been offered a process engineer’s position at (clicky linky) Ayrshire Electronics in Fayetteville, AR. This is an actual electrical engineering position and constitutes almost a $10,000 raise. Fun stuff. My last day at LaBarge will be June 2 and my first day at Ayrshire will be June 5.

The fun thing is finding an apartment. You’d think with Fayetteville being a college town and the semester having just ended, there’d be quite a few apartments coming open. Not so. Everyone seems to have just about every available apartment rented out save for one bedrooms. And with the sizes of the living areas in single bedroom apartments, I couldn’t fit anywhere near all of my furniture in there.

So, wish me luck, eh?

Oh, and my preacher says, “He keeps this up, sooner or later, he’ll be in Texas.  That’s God’s country, you know!”

Advent Children

April 28th, 2006 2 comments

Okay, so I went into Wal-Mart looking for some J-B Weld.  Didn’t find it, but I did find this:  Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.  At freakin’ WAL-MART!

Anywho, I got it.  Just got through watching it.  All I can say is, DAMN!

If you have any kind of familiarity with the game, buy this!  I cannot stress it enough.  The voice acting leaves a bit to be desired but the story is just downright excellent.  Oracle, my man, you need this movie.

Well, I guess that’s it.

Oh, and O’Reilly’s carries J-B Weld if anyone was wondering.

New Alliance Race: Wisps?

April 1st, 2006 No comments

New Alliance Race

Okay, I’m confused. Wisps are what night elves become when they die, right? So…how the heck can this be the new race?

And WTF is up with permanent death as a result of your racial ability? There is no way in heck I’m gonna lose everything I’ve worked for up to that point just to keep the folks in my party from loosing a few gold at most on armor repair. That’s just insane! I don’t care if we’re goin’ after Onyxia herself, I’m not commiting suicide and starting at level one all over again with nothing to show for it! Especially since I don’t think they will allow you to keep your inventory/money/bank items/quests completed.

I don’t get it.

Good Guy 1, Bad Guy 0

A clerk at a hotel brought an abrupt end to an armed robbery.  Check out this link for the video:  http://tinymce.moxiecode.cp/mce_temp_url

And this link for THR commentary:  http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=187561

And this link for the clerk’s point of view in his own words:  http://www.jobrelatedstuff.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=443057

Some feel that he was too close to the child while shooting.  I say the woman holding the child should’nt have been at the register to begin with if there was a gun pointing in her vicinity and definitely should’ve hugged some floor once the first shots were fired.

All in all, I say good on the clerk (who happens to be an NRA instructor).

Gun-Toting Anime Quiz

February 25th, 2006 6 comments

So, I found this quiz and thought I’d share…

click here

This is mine:
You are KIRIKA – You are unsure of who you really are, and desperately seek answers. You don’t know why you kill so much; you just do. Your sweet face belies your deadly instincts. In short, you are the ultimate assassin. Aren’t you proud?
Go! Go now!

Edit: Who changed the ‘write post’ page? I can’t get this link to just show as a text description that’s a clickable link. Little help?

Edit Again: Thanks to Oracle for the link assist.
