I hate August. As if the mass quantities of daylight weren't bad enough, it's freakin hot all month. I can't understand how people can actually like summertime down here. I mean sure, scantily clad girls running around is interesting and all, but i don't think that makes up for the oppressive heat. It's like almost 21:00 and it's still ~95 outside. I suppose it could be a tad worse, atleast i don't live in Houston anymore. I consider it a bad sign when you get into your portable oven, ie: car, turn on the ac and you can see the cooler air coming from the vents but can't really feel it.
So yea, it's been like a few months since i posted last, just haven't had anything all that terribly interesting to say. Finished the solaris training CD, which was alot more engaging than i figured it would be. I still have yet to make my little cheat sheet with all the commands, options, etc, but will soonish. As soon as i get the duplicate CD sent back to Sun, i can register for Sysadmin I, yay! It'll be nice once i get all that done and can actually use it.
On the Gaming side of things, i left FFXI. I'm pretty sure i've 0 desire to ever go back to it, finally. It always was my fallback MMO when there was nothing else i wanted to play, but with the changes they made last and decline of a player base, i think it's finally time to walk away from it. I've been playing DDO a fair amount recently. It's more of a relaxed atmosphere and very casual gamer friendly overall. Met some cool people i like to run with, in a guild, all the good stuff. I'm very pleased with the frequency of updated content, for free no less. I figure it should last me till the end of the year when like, 3 MMOs come out. Hopefully one of them will be good and addictive. It's been a while since i've had that New MMO addiction, and i miss it. I recently picked up some good old fashioned PnP RPG books that Drax0r rescued from the depths of his closet. Been reading over them again, off and on. Not sure i really want to start up a full on gaming group again, but ya never know. If nothing else, GH II comes out in like Nov, so that's something i'm really looking forward to. With me currently in the last set of expert on GH I, i'm pretty sure i'm just about done with that. It's fun and like most games i enjoy, i can't beat them. I mean, i _can_ beat it, it's just if i beat it and see those end credits then all the magic of said game is gone.
Going down to Austin this weekend to visit my parents, which should be fun. It's quite pretty down there, tho i'm sure it'll be just as hot as it is here. Going to do the whole birthday thing. People keep asking me what i want for my birthday and every year it's the same. I've honestly got no clue. Socks, Food, maybe some shiny new game? I'm not really one of those people that have alot of things they want, so shopping for me can't be easy. I never could understand birthdays anyway. I mean it's fun to spend a day (or a few hours) with someone on their birthday to let them know how much you care and such, but it's kinda strange to me. You're basically having a party to celebrate another year of their lives gone by. The candle gets a little shorter. The flame dims just a little bit. It's really kinda morbid if you ask me.
How Will You Die??

How Will You Die??
You scored as Natural Causes. Your death will be by natural causes, though not by any diseaese, because that is another option on this test. You will probably just silently pass away in the night from old age, and people you love won't realize until the next morning, when you are all purple and cold and icky. So be happy, you won't be murdered.
