Some of you will notice that suddenly a bunch of blog
entries have appeared dated last Sunday. How can this
be you ask? The answer, I've discovered time travel.
Okay actually I can set the date and time to anything
on these things.
The entries below were written last week, I just never posted them to the site as I was waiting to take a couple more photos. But here they finally are. I divided them up into topics so that you can easily skip the WoW update if you want. There will be a little bit of a WoW update later here too (hey it's been a week).
First I'd like to say hello to the ever growing Rocky fan club. I had no idea the little bugger was so popular. I'm not going to be telling him that he has a fan club though. His ego is big enough already. But welcome all the same and feel free to browse the rest of the site or drop me (yes, or Rocky) a line via the recently fixed contact page if you feel so moved.
Well it's been an exciting week again. Despite what last week's entries say, there are no new Rocky videos. Sorry about that, there was a problem with cutting them down a size that could be easily downloaded. But the pictures are there as promised. He's been as nuts as ever this week. He goes to the vet on Wednesday for a booster shot so we'll see how brave he feels then.
Today was the first official day of summer for me, as it was the first day without teachers or students at school. Ah, a month and a half of somewhat quiet. I started doing book inventory in the library Friday and have a good portion of it done. Plus Dana was in today and finished most of the Non-fiction section. She said she's coming in tomorrow too. I'm not sure if she's planning on coming in the whole week or what, but it does go much faster with two people.
This past Friday was also Pika's 5th birthday. Happy Birthday Pikachu!
Saturday was spent have on a roof shingling, half in the yard mowing and raking, and half out with Mike, Amy and friends (don't know if they mind having their names mentioned). Yes I know that I just named 3 halves. What can I say, it was a long, but fun, day. Of course that means that Sunday was a blur. I slept until 3pm and then went to bed again at 11pm. Ah the price we aged people pay for a night out.
Earlier this week, Jason and Tascha came over for dinner. That's a bit of a story too (and it leads nicely into my next topic). As some of you maybe know, Tascha is VERY allergic to eggs. Now I don't know if any of you have noticed this but there are eggs in damn near everything. We decided to order pizza. The short of the story is that we ended up ordering from the very last place in town that was available (Kozy Korner). But we decided also to watch a movie. As I have like 8 billion movies, we first narrowed it down to 80's horror movie and then decided on "Sleepaway Camp". It was by far the WORST movie ever made. I've seen movies via Mystery Science Theater 3000 that could win oscars compared to this movie. Sadly, I was at Best Buy Thursday night and discovered they have a box set of Sleepaway Camp 1, 2 & 3.
This brings us to the next topic, movie reviews. I finally got around to watching "The Grudge" this last week. I was not impressed. If the idea was to scare me, they really needed to go back to the drawing board. That's really all I'm going to say about it as it isn't worth my time to review it further. Actually, the special features of the cast and crew interviews were much more entertaining.
I also watched "National Treasure" the other day. I saw the movie in theaters and must say it didn't suck. It's actually a pretty well thought out and entertaining plot. Plus it has a decent cast, provided you can accept Nicholas Cage as an action star. It's nice to see Jon Voight being cast as a good guy. It's not a roll he gets to play often and in my opinion, plays the good guy better than the bad guy.
Finally a quick note on WoW. I finally made it into Alterac Valley last Monday night. Alterac kicks butt. I was in there for a few hours and managed to rack up over 500 Honorable Kills, which brought me back up to Sergeant in the rankings. The only down side was that I spent about 2 hours in line waiting to get in. So if you only have a few hours to play at night you may as well forget it. But in any case there are a bunch of new screen shots up from WoW including a couple from Alterac.
Before I go I just wanted to mention the picture of my house. There are a few pictures of my new shingles. I don't know how well they will look on your screen. They normally aren't that dark but it had just rained when I took the photos so they are wet. And yes the house is some sort of mustard orange color with brown trim. It will eventually be white with green windows, shutters and door. Thanks again to my parents and aunt and uncle for helping with the shingling project (okay so my step-father did most of the work). THANKS!
