Lost and found my way back. Still working on home improvement craps! *sigh....*

oh, did I mention I finally got cable? Comcast rocks!

Yay!!! I finally got my internet back up. But how come I can't log into ffxi? hmm...

It so weird living without dsl. Hell, I don't even have an internet connection! Lately, I have been working a lot (thanks god I have internet at work) but I can't play games there. So what do I do when I get home? Well, A lot of books! Lately, I have been reading a lot. Not that is bad for me, but there are seriously nothing for me to do. If you guys want some good reading, go pick up Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. It a good read, althought his style of writing is kind of weird. I know other authors can use the same materials and make it better, but regardless, I think he still do a pretty good job. What else? Well, I have been watching DVDs (Wicker Park) was my lastest view and I think is a really good movie. It'll surely 'ahhhh' and 'ooooooh' you until the end.

Anyway, looking through some people lj, I noticed that everyone has been really busy with their life, if not busy playing games too. lol. Jen, hope you get a lot done last weekend, and Heather + Steve, how's your mini-vacation? Seb, stop drinking and Cuties, put on some clothes. Whatever it was that you and everyone is wearing look wierd, like something out of Survival. And for my COP team, I am sorry to keep everyone waiting. Everything is on hold for me atm, since I don't have dsl, but I do not want to keep everyone waiting because of me. So if you have team that can do it, go ahead and complete it. Wish you guys the best of luck.

Ok, back to my reading...

Really quick because I have to get back to work ASAP. Right now I am having some problem w/ my internet provider and can't get online for awhile. Hope to see everyone again soon.

The heat is dropping. Going to the beach later. Boss not here today. A couple of friends coming to the park today to spend times with their family, and I am going to have lunch with them. Life is good... for the moment.

Today penny-arcade.com strip is the conclusion of their The Scion 5 comics serie. At the end Tycho's niece won a 1000 men lan party tournament along with $5000. There are tournaments like this that are happening everywhere every year. Mostly hosted by Nvidia, Intel and respected video game publisher companies i.e.. Activision, Epic Games and idsoftware who are responsible for most of the popular online shooting games.

What I'm trying to get to is most of these entries if not all are boys. Where's the girl with her sailor moon's mobcase covered in pink coming to smoke a cap on someone ass to win a shooting game tournament (kinda like how penny-arcade last comic strip). Now how cool would that be? Please don't say girls can't play shooting games, although I only know two that have beaten me (*cough*... Thao... you cocky bastard) but I surely know more than two hand full of gals that can give me a run for my money. I love shooting games and although it doesn't show through the lovely tarutaru that is *cough*o-so-innocent*cough* in FFXI, I have been trying to rekindle my aiming and fragging skill so I'll never go to another lan party unprepared. I got my ass handed to me on a silver plate last time I pick up SOF from being absent for so long (thank you FFXI) and it was by a female friend at a small lan party I attended. This shows how girls can be just as good in fps'er games if not better than boys. I hope I get to meet more ladies who know how to put their men in place, and 6 feet under for reloading at the wrong time.

Argh...I'm bore at work. Seb, wanna join the club?

The weather has been a killer for me lately. So instead of being out in the sun melting away, I tried to find excuses to be in my office a lot. Hey, you can't blame me, I hate the heat. TV said tomorrow will be cooler. I usually never believe in what the TV says but if I am going to last another day before turning into a jerky, I pray they are right.

Ok ok, Thao, lets stop talking about the sun. I mean, keep it cool... happy thought... happy thought. Don't let the sun get to you Thao... lalala... is just what she wants... just stay cool... take a deep breath...

OMG! I am going to die!!!

The heat... it so hot here... *dying*

Yup! There isn't any woods in Dustin's car when I cursed myself for saying, "So far, I haven't had too much trouble dealing w/ annoying people sitting next to me on planes."

Well, this lady who sat next to me today wasn't too annoying, though she did snored during her nap w/ her mouth wide open. The best one was this couple who sat in front of me. The girl would test him w/ all types of relationship questions and I can tell people around were getting a kick out of their conversations, but it got annoying after awhile. I feel sorry for the guy. One question I remember she asked him was if he would still love her if she weight like 800 pounds? I don't know why she asked a question like that, because I hope that's not one of her goals. I figured she will be better off by asking more realistic questions.

Anyway, I am really tired right now and about to call it a night. Before I do that, a friend sent me this funny joke via email and I like to copy/paste and share it w/ you guys. (Disclaimer: you might not think is funny, but I do!)

**********************
A man arrives home from work at the usual time of 5pm. His wife immediately begins yelling at him for no reason. After two hours of complaining, he turns to her and says, "Honey, why don't I go outside, pretend I just came home, and we can start over again."

"Fine," she agrees. "That might help."

The husband goes outside, then comes back in and announces, "Honey, I'm home!"

"Where the hell have you been?" she yells back. "It's after seven!"

Any of you tired this game yet? I know Penz and Baudan might have played it a bit, not too sure what everyone think about it. So far I'm an Elementist lvl 13 but no guild yet. There are so many blind invites to join all these guilds, but I declined them all. I mean, is almost like Kazham all over again. What happened to "hi, would you like to join us?" before sending the invite button? geesh!
