Just add coffee!

I posted cause Irisa said I should. ;)

A person commits suicide to find himself after dying alive again in a different life. Worse then the one before. The hardships of life are too much once again. After committing suicide again finds himself in another bad situation. Committing suicide again. After one or two more suicides finds himself in his original life prior to committing the first suicide. He isn't sure if it was a dream or it was real. But decides that he must learn to cope with hardships of life in order to progress to the better parts of life.

I could see this being a movie. I can imagine the suicides being really graphic. A rated R movie. Morbid.

Grats to maccuswell for making it to the quarter finals. I hope you make it someday. I think you would be a really neat king.

Maybe I am not cut out to be a lefty. Maybe I should get a long aluminum shield instead of using that wooden one. Maybe I just too frustrated. Maybe I just suck at fighting.

Sigh.

Hmmm. I might actually earn a college degree in a year or two (or three). Devry campus is right across from where I work. Work has a college reimbursement program. So why not finish the degree? Being able to test out of some of the courses has been nice too. Huh... Me with a college degree. Go fig. :)

Colleen's PC bit the dust. It was free and it lasted a long while. Luckily her mother gave us one just like it. (P4 LGA775 socket with 512 megs ram) I swapped out the parts to determine the problem. Seems the motherboard has died. Oh well. I have been thinking about upgrading to a new pc as of late. Not sure if I want to spend that kind of money. At least I have lots of extra parts now.

I always under the impression that all knights should obey kingdom law.

I guess I don't understand knighthood.

I volunteered to run day board at Nova Schola. (What the hell was I thinking!?!?)

Colleen helped me make 3 sauces for Nova Schola this weekend. A Green sauce (I read somewhere it dates back to the 12th century), a white garlic sauce (smells yummy), and a strawberry sauce. Growing up I was never taught to cook. So I have learned a few things. Tsp and Tbsp are different things. Ooops. The green sauce might be a bit peppery. Oh well. Colleen will pick up the rest of the needed things so we can make spinach tarts on Friday. Overall a good experience. I have never cooked for day board. I am very scared that come Schola I will have poisoned around 100-150 people. I am sure my silly fear is unfounded but I just want to do well.

Eat at your own risk!

Help me find it.

It's small and likes to wonder.

With out it I can't seem to keep track of anything. I can't seem to read instructions on how to do things.

I hope it's not on the neighbors lawn making poopies again.

Seems my right shoulder has tendonitis. Owie.

Prior to going to inter-kingdom fight practice I sprained my left thumb during a greatsword fight. Well I went to the inter-kingdom fight practice anyways. I saw a lefty knight by the name of Sir Guy. Got some instruction and got to watch him fight. Good experience all around. Afterwords I suffered for it. Thumb still is sore and will probably take weeks to heal right. My right shoulder for some reason hurts when the arm is held at a certain angle. I got over a cold but still have the cough. So every time I cough my shoulder gives me a nice sharp pain. I am just falling apart it seems. I just hope the shoulder is temporary and nothing permanent. Like a torn rotator cuff. I hope it's just a knotted muscle. I wish it would just stop hurting!

Ugh. Getting old sucks.

And there was much marghness!

Oh where to start? I think I will start upside down. It's a good a place as any.

12th night. Colleen and I were all set to carpool with Alison and Brendan. But 12th night was delayed a week! So no carpool. The day of the event. The wife is sick. Clue one that I am not going. Clue two: My cable modem died. No way to look up driving instructions! So far, universe one me zero. Sorry I didn't make it Mike. Grats though.

It seems if some one in your family gets sick you get to join in on the fun of it too. Universe two, me zip.

Today I stayed home to get Comcast to replace the modem. I have a hvac guy come out to clean the furnace and check the wiring. Seems I tried to replace the old mercury thermostats with new programmable ones. Wasn't sure I did everything right. So the hvac guys determines that my auto-fill valve is fubared and needs replacement. Along with a few other need repairs I am looking at a $1200.00 bill. Universe three, me ziltch.

The only good thing is that we had a small stash of emergency money for things like this.

Universe three, me one. In your face universe! (No not really cause you will beat me more and I am a whimp)

Well I got to see the movie over at my sister-in-laws. The music is really good. I now have ABBA stuck in my head! Some one help me!

*Hums a few bars*

Normally we people travel at a leisurely pace it seems. Oh sure we might rush to make a new outfit for that up coming event or cram for the year end finals but I feel like I am moving faster then usual. Let me explain.
I joined Bloodguard. So I have to start at the bottom and work my way up. So right now I am on the 'D' list of fighters. I have no intention of staying there. I have to fight my way up to the 'A" list. No problem. I am chomping at the bit to do so. I know I can do it. This will probably get me on the unbelted team this year as Icefalcon will be the reigning king. Stepping stones towards OTC and knighthood.
With the current market refinancing your home mortgage sounds golden to me. NPR (National Public Radio) even said it was a good idea. So now I have to hunt to see what is out there.
I also have been looking at houses again. Not sure I want to move yet but it doesn't hurt to see what is on the market.
I am planing to go back to college in January. At Devry U. They have a campus literally right across from where I work! My boss thinks it's great that I want to go and encourages me to do so! How awesome is that!?! I love it when bosses do that. The kicker is that work has a college reimbursement program that I can use! $7500 a year is great!

All this and more.

I have signed up with house Bloodguard.

Should be interesting.

For those out side the sca this is a very prominent house that focuses on melee combat.

When most people have nightmares it's usually with some terrifying monster. Mine involve large amounts of people and making large social blunders. Some where in there are oddly colored shorts.

I would rather have the monsters.

I quit World of Warcraft today. I just hate the game now. Which is good. I have too many books I want to read anyways. Other things I want to do.

'Talan' didn't understand why 'HR' wanted to talk to him about something called a 'Dress code'.

My fighting ability isn't bad. But needs work. I hit two practices a week. But still I feel I need more training. I need more refinement. I think what I need is a knight. Maybe it's time to be squired to some one who can help me finish what I started 7 years ago.
