The shenanigans of celebrities confuse and amuse us all.

 

 

Hello there peoples!

So I was reading up on one of my favorite sites today, The smoking Gun, and found out that the guy who does the ShamWow commercials, Vince Shlomi, got arrested. For some reason I find celebrities getting arrested for the dumbest things amusing and wished to share this all with you.

Ill let this excerpt from the website(click here to read the entire article) say it all.

"According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue"

Heh, crazy celebrities, I wonder if people lose IQ points when they get onto television, even if only for a commercial.

I bet you won't see him in the same way when he hits that shammy on the table from now on

Ah well, I hope his shammy absorbs blood from a hooker as well as it does spilled soda ^.^

*Boggle*

I just don't where to begin

 

So I haven't posted a blog in awhile and I figured now is as good as any. There really hasn't been anything big lately going on, just the usual day in day out stuff.

However, it has been long enough that I thought I should make a post before people start thinking we've fallen into the ocean or something. Anyway, Ive got two rants for you lined up...well maybe 1 and a half.. we'll see how it turns out, and just a quick personal update.

First off, the goodies:  I have now started in earnest with my writing, and it is really exciting. I'll leave you all with that :-P

Anyway, I have used up most of my words for today so ill get onto the juicy meat of rantitude(ooh did i invent a word? hmmm we'll see)

Rant #1: SYFY --- Really did anybody NOT see me ranting about this coming? It's really a shame that my number 1 channel has come to this. For some crazy reason they decided that in one of the best years they have had for ratings, they have decided that their huge pool of nerds in the basement(their words I believe) are no longer good enough for them. Ya know, I can understand if they changed the entire image of the channel and rebranded with something completely different, but SYFY, what kind of crazy drugs are they on? It's the same damn name, spelled differently. They are alienating their entire base(oh excuse me, subtract the people that watch the wrestling shows on the SCIFI channel *Triple Mind Boggle*) for a friggin misspelling. Anyway, im going to sum all of this up with one phrase:   Ahhhhhhghghghghghghghghghghhghghghgh    

Rant #2: Battlestar Galactica---   Ok, im gonna go easy on these guys because overall I liked everything about the show in general. What I do have to say is that I wish they did things a tiny bit different with the ending. The whole "Watch out or you too may fall victim to cylon attacks" type of thing was a bit too bland for my taste. Ive seen too many stories do the same thing and point out societies flaws and how we must amend our ways to avoid the awesome battle scenes we will have in the future. :-P

Anyway, in all seriousness, It could have ended differently, a bit more ...oh whats the word....thoughtful? whatever, either way, in the end it was an Ok ending.

Well that's all I have for today, tune in next time, and I may have a bunch of cool stuff to show you from the cherry blossoming ^.^

Unmitigated Cuteness.

 

Just another lazy day.

 

So I have been neglecting the blog lately, but after last weekend, it was hard to do anything but stare at the wall and try to recuperate. This week has been fairly uneventful. Ive mainly been watching the kids and playing Eve Online. I hop onto Warcraft every so often but without raids it is kind of hard to do anything in there anymore. I have alts to play but most of them are tied up with one of Meredith's characters, so no play time in warcraft for daddy at naptime :-(

Anyway, so Ive been playing Eve, which is fun as hell, and they are bringing out an expansion on the 10th, which will be fantastic.

There is a few other games that I am waiting to come out. Let me list em:

1. Diablo 3 (almost everybody knows about this one)

2. Star Trek Online(OMG! It's soo close and yet so far away!)  This one is fantastic. Basically you will be the captain of your own ship, you can select your head staff and even customize the ship. One thing they are doing to make it more like the Startrek shows is that they are doing episodic content for missions. It's hard for me to explain so I will let the professionals do it.

Here's a quote from one of the guys making the game in and interview with Zam News.

"One of the features that sets Star Trek Online apart is its Episodic Content. We don't want players to be stuck in the same environment for three hours hunting tribbles until they level. None of the Star Trek TV episodes take place on one set -- neither should STO's content.
Our Episodic Content is designed to take you to a number of widely differing environments during a single gameplay session.
For example, you may be assigned to visit a planet within Federation protected space. When you arrive in orbit, you find yourself in a tense standoff with a heavily armed Orion Syndicate battleship. After dealing with the Orions, you send an away team to the planet's surface and discover that the Orions were providing cover for a Klingon force that has beamed in to break up a diplomatic conference. You stop the Klingons' sabotage and then go into the embassy, rescue the diplomats and confront the Klingons' commander, who has information about a second Klingon attack already in progress.
Beam back to your ship and warp to another planet, where you face a Klingon fleet in a climatic space battle. Millions of lives are depending on you -- can you avert a galactic tragedy?
That's what Episodic Content in STO is like."

Fantastic eh?  Anyway, soon as that comes out I am forming a fleet(a guild in other terms)  If you are interested in joining, just let me know by email(jinxz0@gmail.com) or by comment on the blog :-P

Oh also check out the offical site:  www.startrekonline.com

3. Jumpgate Evolution:    This one used to be an old game by the same name -evolution. Basically like eve, except it's more of a twitch shooter type of game. Think of an airplane flight combat game on the consoles(Ace combat, Tom Clancy's Hawx) and put it in space, that's kinda what jumpgate appears to be. Anyway, check it out at http://us.jumpgateevolution.com/

That's pretty much my list at the moment, im sure another cool game is in the works, but ill find it eventually :-P

If any of you come across one, lemme know, I am always looking for the good stuff.

Laters!
