Happy, Warm Headphones!

Not last night, but the night before I could not sleep! *flails* I suspect it is because I did nothing no Monday, but rest and play WoW. *nods* So, since I was all rested I couldn't sleep. I would blame the drunk people at the bar across the street, but I can't because I can sleep through that. *smiles* Just like I can sleep through big t-storms, elephants stampeding by and trains. It was somewhat amusing Monday night since some drunk person ran into a fire hydrant. *shakes head* I heard the crunch and thought, "What was that?!" However, I was in bed and didn't care to look. However, I then heard "Fshhhhhhhhhhh" and drunks going, "Wow man! Look at that!" Well, my curiosity got the better of me (as it usually does) and I went to the living room window. Much better view there. The fire hydrant had water rushing out of it and there was a mini river flowing down the road. O_O Fortunately there was a city truck there, or whatever, and the water stopped in about 10 minutes. *nods*

Today is Wednesday and I did have plans of going to see Pirates, however, when I was saying my good byes at work Laura asked what movie I was going to, so I told her. "Ohhh," she said, "I want to see that too." Gloria asked who I was going with and I said, "Me!" Laura mentioned how her daughter already saw it with her brother, so I asked if she wanted to go with me. She thought that would be great, so I don't have to see it alone. W007! As I mentioned before, Laura is cute to watch a movie with because she gets so into it! *giggle*

Today my ear hurt so bad!!! T_T Ok, I'm being a baby about it, if it truly hurt that bad I would have left work. However it did bother me today and fortunately I did have some Advil to help. That is where my happy, warm headphones come in! ((^_^)) <--- Look! Me wearing headphones! Ha ha ha! They not only play music but kept my ears warm which made them not so soar. *nods* I did go to the doctor and she said that is a nose thing, not an ear infection like I had originally thought. My tube that goes to my left ear is plugged and swollen, most likely due to allergies, but I was worried since Steph at work has an ear infection. Plus, once I had to go to the ER because I had such a bad ear infection and that was not fun. So I thought I would nip it in the bud and go today. Now I feel like I wasted $30 for the co-pay since it wasn't a big deal. -_- Oh well, better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Right now I am trying to watch the second part of Angel's Feather OVA, but the thing doesn't seem like it wants to load!! *sobs* I want bishie action man and youtube is denying the leader of the universe! Rar! *waves tiny dino arms*

I went to look at a house today with my realty lady person. *grins* It was a shit hole. -_- I didn't mind that it needed paint, new carpet, or the fact that I would have had to clean like I have never cleaned before, but the basement was yuck. We have had rain, but it hasn't been major down pours like we can have and the basement was leaking. Not a good sign at all. And when you have leaky basements you have stinky basements and that is why there was mold growing on the walls upstairs IMO. Well, the hunt has begun again so lets cross our fingers and hope for the best! Dianne says she thinks it is a buyers market, so I'm in luck and will probably find a decent house for the money I want to spend. ^_^ I have high hopes! If I do get a house I will have to get a second job so I can go on that vacation with Meggles! *bounces*

Last weekend I saw a thing on Disney World on the Travel Channel (<3 that channel) and it made me even more excited! I so want to see Turtle Talk with Crush from Finding Nemo! *flails* He is totally interactive!!!! He knows what color shirts people have and he asks their names and says it back! OMFG! Is that not the sweetest turtle action ever?!

Ok, I have rambled on long enough. Next weekend I'll tell you if I was disappointed, or happy with Pirates. *crosses fingers* Lets hope it rocks my pirate hat off!

Shrek Should Be In WoW!

Wouldn't that be cool! I mean there are ogres, but none of them are really friendly like Shrek would be, but he could be the nice ogre. *nods*

Friday night I went with Laura to see Shrek the Third. I liked it, but I don't think it was as good as the others. The animation and graphics were splendid, but that is to be expected since the other movies were so well done. In this third installment I felt like the story wasn't as intriguing and it was predictable. *shrugs* It had it's funny moments all right, but there wasn't anything to surprise you. In all honesty I hope they don't make a fourth movie because it would be crap IMO. Shrek was not cluttered like Spiderman, but both had mediocre storylines. *shrugs* Am I impressed with the summer movies so far. . . not really. Don't get me wrong, they were fun to see and I love the movie theater atmosphere, but they didn't blow me away is all. *grins*

The next movie I am looking forward to is Pirates! *waves Jolly Roger* You can bet your sweet pippy that I will be wearing my Pirates shirt and my pants that magically match them. *nods* Well, they are more like capris. Anyway, I don't think I will be disappointed with Pirates since it is a continuation and there is no book to make me go, "Aww, it didn't happen like that in the book!" I'm crossing my fingers for you Disney even though you at times freak me out with all of your giganticness! O_O

I did have plans of typing this all last night, but there were severe t-storms in our area and we even had a tornado warning. *nods* It was super cold and we still get tornadoes, what is up with that Ms. Earth, hmmm? I also had plans of typing this up earlier tonight, but the new patch came out for WoW. Holy megabytes! It was 276 megs, or something like that. It took me all night to download it, but from what I have seen so far it is a nice little patch. *grins*

OMG! When I was waiting for Laura to meet me at the theater Friday I decided to go into the arcade they have there. *laughs* Big shocker there huh? Kush goes into an arcade! *gasp* Ok, in all honesty I go to an arcade whenever I can because. . . VIDEO GAMES!!!!! Yee-ah! So I saw this little machine with basically junky things in it and the objective was to press the button and have the line stop on the "You Win" label. *shrugs* I was basically wasting time, so I thought, "What the hell, it's 50 cents." I dropped a quarter in, practiced a little and then dropped the next quarter in. I waited while the column spun and then hit the button. It continued to turn and then it said, "You win!" And the machine dropped a silvery looking watch. A little boy was watching me and when I bent down to get my prize he was examining that machine very closely. He even pressed the button in hopes of getting a prize I think. I did think about giving him the watch, but decided against it. A) It looked too big for him, B) It, to me is a style of watch a little boy would not want, & C) Well, there is no C. Those were my two main reasons. So yeah, I'm cool and now I can't get rid of the watch. People think it's cool I won it, but I already have a watch I don't wear. *shrugs* Oh well, I'll keep it just to say, "I won this for 50 cents in an arcade." *nods*

Tonight I started to watch the anime Loveless. O_O It is cute! Soubi, even though he says he is not hentai, I think he is. *nods* When you say things like, "You can punish me if you like." and similar things he is a little perverted. *grins* I would loved to have put him on my bishie list, but he smokes constantly. *sigh* And he doesn't like older women. *ponders* I wonder how old he is? He is in college becoming an art student, so my guess is at least 18-19. Come to think of it, not is it just older women, but I don't think he likes women in general. *grin* *thinks about episode 4* There are 12 episodes in the series and I saw four of them tonight. That is what I did while I downloaded the crazy, never ending patch. ^_^ I should have read book 4 of "Descendants of Darkness," or read "And the Sea will Tell."

Ok, I have rambled on long enough. I am super tired today and don't know why and I think I will go get ready for bed now. O_O Um yeah, it is quarter to midnight!!! Eep! Here I come pillow!!! ~_~ zzzzzz

Spidey Swings Into His Third Movie

The thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of movies that are thirds this summer and they all tend to come out this month, or in Spiderman 3's case has already come out. Plus they all are movies I have enjoyed before and Spidey 3 and Pirates are the ones I was most excited for. *grins* I just got back from seeing Spiderman 3 and now I shall give a review on it.

To begin, I liked it. I will be the first to admit that I do not know that much about Spiderman. I never read the comics, but I did watch the cartoon when TV stations repeated it. The story moved somewhat slow sometimes, but I think they wanted us to know that Peter Parker is human, not just a guy with super powers. That has really been the whole idea behind Spidey. Stan Lee wanted to give him the human element so we the reader, movie goer and yes cartoon watcher could understand him, not as a hero, but as person. He definitely has his hardships and so does his love Mary Jane. While he was feeling like he was on top of the world she was feeling so low in the dumps and I think she really didn't want to bring him down. Spiderman became cocky and I think Toby McGuire did a great job of bringing out Spidey's dark side. Remember kids, come to the dark side, we have cookies. (That is off a t-shirt that I find quite amusing.)

Now onto the graphics. I was most impressed with Sandman. *nods* I don't think people realize how difficult it is to make smoke, sand and snow in 3D. It is one of, if not the most difficult things to create and they did a stellar job. *thinks of guy at dorms* *giggles* The animation, the modeling and the texturing were stupendous! I would love to have mad 3D skillz like that. Venom is always someone you love to hate. However, I would liked to have seen more of Eddie as Venom. *grins* But they had three villains going in one movie and I think sometimes it was a little cluttered, but they did pull it off fairly well. The storyline was not confusing at all, but like I said it did seem like they were trying to fit too much into a two hour span. As much as I liked Sandman and the graphics they used for him I really don't think he needed to be there. Personally I think they could have done more with Harry Osbourne and Eddie Brock if they didn't have Flint Marco. Then again the ending makes more sense if you do have them all. O_o Did I just contradict myself? Oh well, all in all I liked it. It was a fun movie to watch, but it does have it's sad parts. If this truly was the last Spiderman it was good. I'm sure some people will be disappointed a little bit with one thing, but I won't ruin it for you. I really wanted to stay until the very end of the credits to see if there was anything extra, but I had to go to the store and buy milk and conditioner. I should look up online and see if there is anything extra at the end. I don't even know if the first two movies had anything extra at their ends, but I don't really think so.

I think some people were disappointed in the movie, but I wasn't. I never go to these movies expecting too much. Some are better than others and the Spiderman movies are definitely better than most comic book movies. Stan Lee should be very proud of his creation and how they portrayed Spidey in the movies. *nods*

Not much else is going on in life. Last Sunday we started playing new characters once again. I'm playing Tyberius, a gladiator who became a slave when he was around 8 or 9 years old. He fought in Maiestus in the city of Illa, but was then bought by my favorite assassin, Marius Deathblade. Mar is getting up in age now and he has found an heir to take his place as lord, but he has to teach the kid how to fight and that is why he bought Ty. Fortunately, Ty was saved by Nikki and Gabe (Khori & Mike's characters) because they were looking for Mar's daughter. They had this notion in their heads that Mar had her, but of course he didn't because he doesn't care one lick about a daughter. Especially one who is going to grow up as a goodie-two-shoes. *nods* He would rather end both the daughter and the mother, but he would never do it because he values his life more than their's. You see, Nikki and Gabe are quite powerful and so is their friend Silver, my character. He knows they adore Harmony, his former sweetheart, and he would be the first to be blamed if anything horrid happened to her. He used to stay away, but now he is mad. Nikki stole good slaves and blamed him for the disappearance of a girl he doesn't even know anything about. So, it is her and Gabe's fault that his interest has been peeked. He wants revenge for being annoyed and I have to admit is curious about the life he helped create and he does want to know why she, Azmaria, keeps running away from Harmony. He has had frequent visits from Nikki & Gabe lately and it really needs to stop. *nods* I ramble! Anyway, what a coincidence! Azmaria, Ty and Three are all traveling together. Poor Ty was found by his former master, Mar, and now has the job of turning Azmaria evil. It is the perfect revenge if Mar can pull it off with Ty's help. I still need to hammer some details out on why he would want to have revenge on Harmony. I would think because she was bossing him around while she was pregnant. *shrugs* Honestly, if you know Mar that is enough reason to get revenge on someone, especially a woman. Not to mention the frequent visits. Grr. *grins* Yeah, it makes sense to me.

So I must go now and eat some fast food. Yeah, I know it isn't healthy, but. . . well I have my reasons for not making real food at the moment. :D

Bye Bye Archives

Well it seems as if my archives have been deleted when Google took over blogger. *cries* Those were my posts and I want them back. *nods* How am I ever going to remember everything? This is like a journal and this is how I wanted to remember stuff. Who would have thought they would have deleted it? Perhaps there is a shimmer of hope and I can still save my posts. When I logged in it said I had 266 posts or so, so I am thinking maybe they can be salvaged. Perhaps I could e-mail blogger begging them to help me get my memories back. *nods*

Hey guess what? I'm back and I'm not dead. *smiles* I haven't posted in like 7 months, or so. Maybe I'll get back into it and give Meggles something to read.

A lot has happened over these 7 months. *nods* Some moments couldn't be topped and others I would like to forget. I think I will talk about the good stuff first.

Well, I like a little Japanese band called Dir En Grey and I never thought I would be able to see them, but guess who came to MN? U2? No. Franz Ferdinand? Nope! Dir En Grey! Yes, they came to Minneapolis and I, Kush Ball got to go see them! *bounces* When I heard Kyo sing live shivers ran down my spine. It was that moving to me because I have always listened to them on CDs and mp3s. Ooo, is that man ripped! Yes, adorable Kyo took his shirt off and. . . I would loved to have touched his tummy. And I cannot forget to mention Shinya for he is my favorite! Man can that man drum! He put the drummers in the bands before to shame! His drums were a hell of a lot cooler than the others. *grins*

Not only did I see Dir En Grey, but I also got to see The Blue Man Group. Wow. They were fantastic! The showmanship and the stamina that these people showed was just amazing! Who ever thought tubing could be put to such an awesome use? *laughs* While I was down to see them I broke down and bought myself an 80 gig ipod. *shy smile* I shouldn't have since I have other things I should pay, such as student loans and whatnot, but I have to admit that it is one of my happiest purchases ever. I love being able to listen to my music and not country all day. Do not get me wrong, I do like country, however, I can't listen to one type of music all day, week after week. I begin to get anxious about it, especially when they play the same damn songs (Fancy, by Reba) every single day!!! So w007 for he ipod! *cheer*

I bought a new computer! What did I name him? Well, I had a small vote at work and everyone seemed to like Vinni, so that is what my new baby is called. I thought about making it a girl and naming it Yeshaya after my albino psion character in D&D. I love Shy, she is such a little fireball, literally. *laughs* Poor thing has quite the story, but she is happy with her husband and children now and I believe she is officially retired. I also thought about naming the compy Sesshoumaru, after one of my favorite anime characters voiced by none other than. . . you guessed it, David Kaye. *grins* But it came down to Vinni because I play World of Warcraft and he is my priest whom I love very much. I have plans of having him as a NPC in my D&D games since he is such good friends with Tipsi. *smile*

In November I got a PS3. Now I know a lot of people hate it, but I like mine and he was accidentally named. I was laughing at work and talking about the PS3 and I called it my Japanese boyfriend, just joking of course and somehow he was named Kenji. *smile* Funny thing, that is what Shy's hubby is named. Maybe I should have had a girl compy. *ponders* Oh and if you are wondering since we are typing about names, I named the ipod Futune. After my darling bard character of course. It plays music for crying out loud and I think Futune would have been upset if I didn't name my ipod after her. *grin* Yes, I know I'm insane, but that's ok, people don't seem to mind too much.

Now, onto some things I just need to get off my chest. Last late October was the last time I saw Jae, Luke-san, Warumono and Chris. I am sad to say that I think I am no longer welcome in that group. I don't even know why. I keep asking myself, "What did I do to make them upset?" "What went wrong?" I admit I was upset when I felt left out, but I feel as if we could have talked about it a little better. I never expected such a good friendship to die so fast. I get choked up even now just thinking about what went wrong. I guess I'm at the point that if they read this I have nothing to lose. Luke, who I did things with constantly all of a sudden became almost nonexistant. I think it is great that him and Chris are close friends, but I just feel as if he didn't have to shut me out completely. If any of you do read this, I'm sorry. I never wanted it to end this way. Honestly, I have thought about writing you all a letter saying good bye and sorry, so I guess this is my letter to you all. This is how I feel and I want you to know that I don't understand. I was upset and I tried to tell you and I really wonder if I should have because I have lost 4 of the best people in my life. I keep saying to myself, "There you go, you opened your big mouth and now look where you are." I admit I am miserable without the fun that I had with all of you and the things I learned. I will always be thankful for the time I did have with you and I just want you all to know that just because I was cleary upset I was never really angry. And Luke-san, I'm sorry that when we went to Saw 3 and you kept saying, "We need to do this again." You said it over and over. I hadn't seen you in months and I didn't know how to respond to that. I almost felt as if I didn't want to get my hopes up and then us not doing anything. I basically set myself up with a self fullfilling prophecy. I really did want to do more with you. I missed and still do miss everyone so horribly much. I feel like such an emotional fool and I hate crying, but I can't help it when I think of what I lost. I had an inkling that it was the end when I came over near the end of October. I hated the feeling. . . and I knew it was officially over when I had said merry christmas to you guys on the answering machine and on blogs. If you do read this and understand that I am confused, would you please send me an explanation of what happend? Maybe all of you are just as confused as I am. In any case, I would really appreciate some sort of explanation so I don't have to wonder.

I hate ending on such a cruddy note, but I truly had to get it out of my system. I doubt anyone will even read that from the crew. *smiles* Anyway, I am basically happy. I like going to work everyday and my book club is one of the best things I could have done. All in all life is good. ^_^

*fans self* Ok, I am going to go work on this thing for my church that I promised I would do. Eep, it's almost 10:30!!!
