That's right folks... May 24th, 2004 was a tremendously important day for the world ofsoftware development.

My first day at Inetium.

Soo many good times, if you search this blog... you'll find a lot of them.

There really isn't much more I can say other than I have had the best experience hereso far and that I don't think I would have had as good of a time anywhere else.

Thanks guys!

So I had the privleage of attending the Star Wars Episode 3 film with Greg and John onFriday...

My worst fears came true as there was some assholes in the theater... but it couldhave been worse.

My overall impression? Probably one of the best in the entire series... in allhonesty

Every movie has bad qualities (weak plots.. hokey dialog) but I think it was the waythat it ended that really got me.

The comments here will have my spoilers and what I thought...

Mike H reminded me today of how much a geniusWeird Al is... (check out the bold verse, hilarious)

“It's all about the Pentiums“ - Weird Al

so I think part of the reason why I haven't been blogging as much, is because I'm arepeat poster.. I find information and post it...

and another one of my addictions is del.icio.us - where you can post links (think of it associal bookmarking + blogging)

check out the stuff I have collected... nowif only I could write an app that grabs the links from the RSS feed, go to the site, and summarize it... andthen post it here, then I would be a blogging whore...

You know you have a good game on your hands when a girl crazy guy like myself talksabout nothing but his current favorite game.

Here are some screenies that I took in game for your viewing pleasure...

So I spent the last two weekends in Iowa (:: shudders::) ... first in Cedar Falls andthis past weekend I was in the Quad Cities... had some good times in both places!

Here are some highlights...

Cedar Falls

• Drunken light saber duels... caught on camera
• Crazy time at Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse! I almost balanced the spinning egg...
• Watching Greg sleep in the bed of his truck while he was fully aware of theapproaching thunder storms
• Late night with my boy Mick
• Met up with some FIIIIIINNNEEE (said in a Pablo Francisco voice) ladies at Joker'sand Coconut's
• Watched my girl Tara gradumacate... congratulations babe!
• Dinner at the Roadhouse, courtesy of Tara's parents

Quad Cities

• Found out quite a bit about my friend Misi, the quite a bit equates to a giganticwall of china she has built up around her, in which my attempts to scale that wall wereunsuccesful...
• The above notion forced me to call up Jackie on Thursday night at midnight to haveher pick me up so I wasn't sitting alone without any attention for too long... It wasnice, ended up cuddling and catching up with my best friend... :: smile ::
• Partying it up with the St. Ambrose women! w00t w00t!
• Good eats at The Machine Shed (read: stereotypical Iowa restaraunt, with bigoverhauls and coleslaw to go around)
• Bubble bath party in the hotel (whirlpool suite mixed with Miller Lite and somemusic)...
• I won $80 at the casino playing blackjack.. who knew that 6 out of 12 hands would beblackjacks (8 out of 12 winning hands)..
• Watched my girl Jackie (along with Bucky, Rachel, and Erin) graduate at the Mark!(way too early, speakers sucked)
• Good food and good friends/family at the graduation party! Got to see Mother Theresaand the rest of the Taylors, finally met the Evens' (sp?)...
• Finally caught up and saw Kim and Megan, haven't talked to them sinceChristmas...

So overall I had a wonderful two weekends! Plus I took a few needed days off ofwork... gotta get my mind off the c0d3 every once in a while! Much love to the ladiesthat I saw and took care of me, you are forever loved...

Sorry I haven't been posting lately people... been busy with graduations and GuildWars...

deal with it :)

when I hear dripping noises and sloshing (like kids playing in a pool on a hotsummer's day)...

then it hit me, should I go investigate? The kitchen ended up being the source where Idiscovered a stream of water dripping from the light above...

it only meant one thing...

Greg went to the bathroom... I bet you can guess the rest of the story from there...lots of laughing, some mops, and a plunger.

hehehe

So this weekend I spent some quality time playing Guild Wars... w0w! That's all I can say.

I probably logged 6 to 8 hours into the game this weekend and every minute wasbreathtaking and intriguiging...

Seriously... a free MMORPG (monthly fee is free, compared to $15/month for Matrix Online or WoW) that looks this good? The game comes from someoriginal gangstas of Blizzard! It has awesome race/profession balance, customization, andthe scenery can leave you wandering and looking at things for hours...

stunning... it's definitely worth a pickup!
