hey sorry

Hey I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while... There's a legitimate reason though, I forgot my movable type password. My old comp had cookies and I never cleared them, so I never had to put it in except once, but I built a new comp about a month ago and didn't know my password and couldn't retrieve it because I didn't set my birthplace.

I'll go over old news first... I broke it off with that girl that asked me out, that was at least a month ago though. I felt a lot less guilty afterwards. I think in a relationship, you have to be at least somewhat excited about it, and I didn't feel anything, except for maybe guilty for letting it go as long as it did.

I built my new comp, and it's awesome. The highlights are the athlon64 3700 processor and themes. I played through Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and Fable: The Lost Chapters. I've also been playing lots of single player UT2k4 and Half Life 2. Basically just checki 6600gt video card, and the 250gig hard drive is nice too, I have like 13 games installed right now. I've been spending lots of time playing single player gang what my comp can handle, which is just about anything that's out now.

I also bought Neverwinter Nights with both expansions so I could play on all of the player-hosted servers, and so I could use more stuff when playing with the toolset. I hope to eventually start working on a NWN module that is actually decent. I've been learning how to make cutscenes and stuff, it's cool how much you can do with the toolkit. Of course, I think by the time I learn to fully utilize the toolset, the sequel (Neverwinter Nights 2) will be out and I'll have to re-learn it or continue messing with the outdated one. Kind of like duke nukem 3d and the build engine, by the time I really started to make decent levels, there was a better game out and nobody cared about duke anymore. I never even tried level editing with quake or anything, the game didn't come with a level building kit like duke did and was way less "tile-based" than duke. But yeah, I've been playing the single player NWN campaigns too, just to get an idea on the balance of the game and stuff.

I haven't been playing WoW lately. I don't have a good explanation for this, except for maybe that I just don't feel like playing. Whenever I think about logging on, I think about how I'm gonna be stuck on a quest, or looking for a group for an instance and getting kicked out of said group because a priest is looking. I love playing druid, but in MMORPG's you have to specialize in one thing to be viable in a group, because being well-rounded usually means you're weak at everything. I've been considering playing my priest again for those reasons. I love playing the healer in a group, but I hate being weak when I solo. That's why I stopped playing my priest in the first place. It's also why I loved playing druid until the levels where parties become more essential. If I'm in a party, I'm always the main healer, and I can solo effectively as well. But later on, it seems that druids are just slot fillers, unless there are absolutely no priests around. So that's why I haven't been wanting to play. I can't commit to one character and that has caused me to fall behind everybody.

Work has been interesting, to say the least. I should warn everybody now that, free movies aren't going to be so easy to get anymore. None of the old management works there anymore. I don't have any power there anymore. The name of JP can't be invoked for free movies anymore, and I can only get one person in for free if I ask. I can get lots of people in free if I don't ask, but hey, while we're doing that, why don't we just sneak in the side doors, because it's practically the same thing. As much as I should quit, I enjoy working in projection and am not really affected by the change of management. The people downstairs, on the other hand, are getting screwed left and right, and are quitting by the dozen. Well not by the dozen. Let's just say a lot of people have quit. If they moved me downstairs, I would probably have to quit as well, but I honestly don't think they'll do that. They need me upstairs more than ever, because most of the competent projectionists are gone.

I've been slacking in kung fu lately, only going twice, sometimes once, a week. I think the main reason that's been happening is because of work, but sometimes I just don't feel like going. But I'm actually pretty pumped about going right now, because yesterday I went to Springfield, Missouri and helped with the grand opening of a new kung fu school, started by one of my sihings. Sihing is chinese for older brother, used in kung fu to address somebody that trains under the same Sifu (father/master) as you, but is at a higher level of training. So technically, he's a Sifu now. Just not my Sifu. It was actually a lot of fun and we got to eat some good chinese food. It has me pretty pumped about going to kung fu tomorrow. I'm gonna try to go a lot more often, instead of playing video games and shit. I figure as long as I'm not playing WoW I might as well be exercising and learning kung fu instead of playing some single player rpg or something. Anyway, the more I go to class, the sooner I start learning weapons forms. I really want to learn some sword and staff forms. You don't even know. Kung fu staff forms are the most awesomest looking forms ever, and always look badass, guaranteed. I'll show you when the time comes, it'll rock your socks right off your ass.

What else... got my ps2 working, took it apart and cleaned the lens, and poof it worked again. Warranty's dead now but I don't care at all.
