The dream fairies seem to be on strike.
Just finished disc 3 of Deadwood season 2. I have to admit, while the higher vocabulary might hurt the average viewers, it's nice to actually watch a show that isn't aimed at those with just a 3rd grade education. So far, the season has been quite enjoyable and has a very heavy Sopranos feel to it. Multi-tiered plotlines, character development, and just a touch of violence keeps me hooked. It looks like it'll be alot of fun to watch and i'm optimistic about season 3, unlike the total crap that is the most recent Sopranos plotline.
After a massive headache, my CD for intro to solaris was finally ordered today and i'm really looking forward to getting to work on it. I've got the sun box set up (sans a power cord) in the computer room and hopefully by the weekend i should have the cd in my grubby little paws. Due to the delay caused by my bank being a pain in the ass, i looked at other options for sysadmin I as the june 19th date seemed rather soon, all things considered. Thankfully, there's another dallas one on july 10th, so that should work out quite well (giving me a month or so before sysadmin II starts). With the way things are progressing, i'll have a month to spend on each section of the training; which should give me just enough time to absorb all the information without having too much downtime.
I love scripts. FFXI has a 3rd party program that i'd never, ever use called the windower. This nifty little program was originally made so you could run FFXI in a window or even just alt-tab to the desktop and keep the game going (without it, the game just crashes). Over time various things have been added that honestly i haven't needed or found much use for. One thing that i've been messing around with is writing custom scripts that function like very extended macros. While i haven't gone as far as to use them while not at my computer, keeping a hands-free approach while skilling strings on brd or summoning magic for summoner is quite nice. It's far from perfect, but they get the job done. With an almost complete set party for smn about to start, this will be quite useful.
Been playing quite alot of Guitar Hero over the past few days. I have to admit, it's quite a fun game (even if the rest of the house has given up once we hit hard difficulty). Overall, the game's difficulty scales quite well and it can be actually hard (screw Bark at the Moon). I'm still slowly chipping away at it, and i can really see myself getting better, but i'm playing less and less at a time due to frustration (i'd love to be able to just work on very specific parts without having to redo the entire song from scratch, for example). It's also quite obvious that some songs are actually much, much hard to play on a real guitar, whereas the converse is also true. I'm wondering what advances will be made for the sequel.
Your Inner Dragon is the most interesting of all. Yellows are the fourth rarest dragon of all (after Gold, Platinum and Chromatic dragons). They spend the vast majority of their time soaring high above the ground, often for no particular reason. They love to be in the air, and are thus typified as the Air Elemental dragon. Your Inner Dragon spends most of his/her time on the Plains or steppe highlands when not mingled with the air currents. All of the Elemental dragons are technically aligned "Chaotic Evil" but a Yellow is about as close as they come to being either Neutral or "Lawful Evil." So if you feel like a bit of a do-gooder sometimes, it's perfectly normal.
You like to spend time in silent, aerial meditation and would only really attack someone if provoked. Your favorable attributes are the sunrise, Spring, incense, clouds, and any kind of helpful air mass or current. When it's needed, your breath weapon is pure bolts of Lightning. How's that for a neat piece of carry-on luggage? See you amongst the clouds!
