31 blogs in 31 days. I don’t think I get a prize. So anyway on to content-random stuff of the day!
I got a part time job today. Only good news about it is I can say I have a job now and not look like a bum. But get this: they actually pay you for work! (unlike some places I will talk about eventually)
Gwen is avoiding homework and always running off to find someone to play with. This is bad.
I found sandals! And got some cheap “regular” shoes too.
In 2 days, I have covered 180 pages in a 507 page book.
There is a cat on my feet right now.
Kind of disappointed that I couldn’t get a video interview of Gwen in this month-but she’s being a bit of stinker about such things.
I decided (maybe too late in the day) that I needed to get new sandals, as mine are sort of falling apart. So, while I was getting an oil change I wandered over to THE MALL in search of a new pair. My main problem here is that when I go to the mall, I normally filter out things from my vision that I usually ignore-like shoe stores. Anyway I eventually find all the stores and none have a decent, low cost, pair of sandals for me.
Heck, Target and Wal-Mart didn’t have any either. Tomorrow, I may have to try other shoe stores. And come up with a good ending for my Blog Every Day in August…
Going to go a little off beat today (a little?) and predict what will happen in the 2013 Doctor Who holiday specials.
Wait? Predicting 2013? But 2010 hasn’t happened yet! Also, specials as in plural?
Well, yes. November 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and if they at the BBC wanted to make an EPIC special, they could do a 2 parter with part 1 on (or about the day of) the 50th anniversary, and part 2 being Christmas Day.
So, what would happen in this special? The rumor has been out there for a while that (SPOILERS) The Voice heard during the 2010 series was Omega-who was introduced and was the villian in the 15th anniversary special “The 3 Doctors”. In that it took, well, 3 Doctors (incarnations 1-3) to stop him. The 25th anniversary was “The 5 Doctors”, which Rassillon (most recently played by Bond, James Bond Timothy Dalton) and needing (wait for it) 5 4 Incarnations to stop him.
Right now, there are 7 living actors who have (cannically) played The Doctor (not counting Curse of the Fatal Death, but I’m sure Hugh Grant is willing for a cameo) so a 50th anniversary 2 parter called “The 7 Doctors” isn’t totally impossible. Load it up with all the available companions and maybe the SJA and Torchwood characters and there is a recipe for an amazing look at 50 years off Who.
NEW ROUTER! But it’s not installed yet. So this will either be
a) easy and all will be back on line in no time
or
b) you will never hear from me again…
Well, the old router has been acting strange. It’s a bit old and maybe is getting flaky. This combined with us having wireless-n capable laptops means we might as well make the jump to the wireless-n standard. (and since this is duel-mode, it can do -G for the wii without a problem.)
Well, that was geeky. Need more non-geeky content to end the month with. Maybe I can try to “interview” Gwen soon.
It looks like I may have a bit of a part-time job here soon. Not exactly saying where but it will be low pay (bad) but working around my schedule with Gwen (good) doing in-person customer service (which I VASTLY prefer over phone customer service)
So anyway, have to pass a background check (OH NOES! I’M A TERRORIST!) then do a wiz quiz (hope I can study up!) and maybe I can do something “productive” in society.
Also, at some point I’m thinking of doing a Vlog entry for one of these days. Thoughts? Comments? Anyone actually reading?
OK, first-watch this video I saw on youtube the other day, then I’ll post some other comments…
OK, you’re back. Now I thought this was frakin’ funny. Then I started thinking of a certain change that’s happened in our society…
Now back in the mid 90′s (OH SHIT-THAT WAS 15 YEARS AGO?!) I played, then later help run, some Vampire LARP (that’s Live Action Roll Playing) games here in town. It could be fun, made lots of new friends form here and other cities (linked campaigns kind of thing) but in all this fun where was the media?
Totally against us. I stayed home sick one day to see a talk show where the “guests” proclaimed that all stuff from the company that produced the game should be burned by parents. One time cops in Indy harrassed the game there because it was “obvious” and they were “well informed” that we were just like the Columbine shooters (there was a disproven rumor they were into the games).
Now, if someone set up a game based on Twilight (and I actually will insist most of Twilight rips off of the original setting for the game Vampire) the media would be swooning over it and calling it so great and wonderful which makes me wonder if gaming is just more accepted or the media will just adore whatever the hell is popular at the time in order to boost ratings/readership/whatever. Personally, I think the geek haven’t inherited the Earth-we’re just profitable.
Well, anyway I probably had more but someone (read: DA GWEN) needed a bath-and my train of thought is derailed. Anyway-more BEDA goodness tomorrow…
