Welp day one is a wrap, had alot of fun and met more ppl. I’m getting more comfortable the more times I go. didn’t watch as many videos as I did last year. they even made the rave 2 nights.
Working on coordinating getting everyone down to downtown baltimore next friday morning. Half of the ppl are going to have to be staying here and the other half with my sister. Its kinda of a pain only because I know the ppl not involved are going to try and ruin the plans.
Also, seems more ppl are going then I thought. atleast those ppl can go themselves but I want to try and meet up with them all. Maybe Sushi friday night
I want to play an mmo again, I miss running around with my friends and killing things. So I am spending time trying to get everyone back together again. Of course my computer dies in the process. So now first I need to get a new computer then get people to play again.
I found on on ebay and a couple of stores in japan (none of which will ship here) that sell them but I don’t know if its cute enough to spend $50usd on yet. and that doesn’t include any mosquito repellant coils (Katorisenko). I know this is a tradional summertime item in japan, and I’m still trying to figure out why nobody imports them yet. oh well I either spend the money (mostly shipping) or keep looking that’s my two choices I guess.
Recently my feet have been feeling heavier, my reponses alittle slower, and I’m alot more tired at the end of the day.
I don’t think I’ve been doing more, other then mowing the lawn now I played through F.E.A.R. 2 which I really liked, the story line, in that series are very well told they got the creepy down right. And Alma is now my favoriate creepy little girl.
I went fishing for the 2nd time is 12 years, and I actually caught something. My dad’s face when I asked if he still had my rods was priceless too. Ended up having to go to Walmart and buy some things tho. So I bought the cheapest rod/real set I could get because my old rod was cracked. Its kinda cool its a bright red anyway we went out on his boat and caught a few catfish. and I remembered why I didn’t like fishing. Not because you have to put the worm on the hook but because you have to get the fish back off. And encase you didn’t know catfish have barbs and will ’sting’ you.
Oh yesterday me and dre were reading up on a game coming out in june called Prototype. I hadn’t heard of it before so we did alittle digging and watch alot of videos about it. It look pretty cool. We also found out it was on the cover of Aug 2007 of the game informer mag. I happen to have that issue here so we figure I probably did hear about it and just forgot cause its been so long. but anyway someone in the guild is gunna buy it, its worth checking out it will be out June 9th for PS3, Xbox360 and PC.
and as for Otakon 2009, Our party seems to keep getting smaller. guess me, dre and my daughter are the only ones that like anime THAT much. so if your going leave a comment maybe we can do a meet up sometime while we are down there.
My current problem is I need to figure out what to dress everyone up as for the convention this year. I have 2 adult men and 3 young ladies to dress up and I can’t think of what to do.
Mainly myself is the problem the girls could just pick any anime and wear that schoolgirl outfit and be a hit. Maybe I should let them and I can go as an otaku w/ the laughing man logo face
My Xbox came back wednesday so nobody has seen or heard from me unless they are at work or on XBL.
Looks like they sent back a new one it has a mfg date well into 08 and has the dual fans. No HDMI tho but it you look at the connector real close you can see the edge of the jack. So I guess they just put a old case bottom on it so they didn’t give me something for nothing, even tho it is my 3rd time sending it in. On the bright side they extended my warranty again. now the question is do I call and pay the extra money and have it extended for another year or is 5 years about good enough
This might look like the same xbox that red ringed before christmas. But its not, its the one I waited paitently to get back from them just last month. Guess this one wasn’t as well repaired as they thought.
Don’t take my humor about this the wrong way, I only laugh because its the only thing I can do. ANOTHER MONTH WITH OUT AN XBOX!!! I still haven’t beaten the games that I got for christmas that I just started working on. And its not like I play all day every day… maybe a couple hours 3-4 days a week.
Oh I called and got the usual we are sorry for the inconvience. Yeah the inconvience of having to box it back up for the 3rd time! yeah give me another free month of live, even though I have an auto renewing yearly subscription. It really doesn’t do me any good when my xbox is taking the long way to texas and back. why can’t they next day me a replacement, I’ll pay extra for that I don’t care. I just want to play some games that I have been waiting to play since christmas. but I guess this is too much to ask.
My friend says maybe I should just buy a new one. But I really don’t know if I want to spend the $300 on one. Maybe I’d be better served putting that 300 to a ps3

On the bright side, taking a picture of my xbox allowed me to take my first picture with my new HTC Fuze that I got today. (which active sync won’t sync half my contacts but thats another rant all together)
