Week 63 (+45) Been a while again

63

-Sixty-three is Ascii for question mark: '?'
-The number of chromosomes found in the offspring of a donkey and a horse.


Been a large handful of days since I've been back to update or anything on my LJ.

Had to change the sibling road trip (SRT) for this year. /sadpanda Instead of Oregon and the beach and the Wildlife park it is going to be Bear Lake with swimming and a cookout and smores. Also a couple friends on FB suggested Minnitonka Caves. Sounds fun and I think that Paul 'n Rach will like it. I know that we are all excited for Bear Lake later this month.

But mark my word we will make it to the Oregon trip this next year or sometime in the near future. It will happen! lol. Sounds to fun to skip and was planned out and all things it was green light and good to go. Only problem was that we could not get all four of our free days to line up for it thanks to John's section head yanking his vacations days. >.> Arse...

Other then that its just been the norm with School prep, work adult crap and life in general.

I've also been really excited for Craig and his new life adventures. Dropped him a house warming gift and I have another planned. I think it is a very exciting time in his life right now even with it being hectic.

Anyway while out and running errands I was listening to Pandora on my Droid phone and found a shit-ton of new bands that are awesome that I want to explore some more!

All these bands have that awesome Celtic folk/rock sound to them that I love in the band "Enter The Haggis" (ETH). Honestly I'm still on the fence about Flogging Molly. I grabbed a CD of theirs' after hearing a song on x96 and was kinda disappointed by it compared to ETH. I mean I love Scot-Irish traditional music like bagpipes, drums and flutes and I love celtic-alt/rock but their music just did not seem to click with me. I've tried letting it grow on me like I have had to with other CDs, even CDs from my fav bands. No such luck. :/ Oh well some of their songs are good.

Bands from the Dropkick Murphy station:
-Dropkick Murphy (yes I need to still look into them)
-Blaggards (kinda like Celtic-rock with sea shanties really neat)
-The Pogues
-The Real McKenzies
-Tossers
-The Tossers (I'll have to double check if this is the same group)
-The Young Dubliners
-The Briggs
-Gaelic Storm (They are the same band that was the 3rd class band in Titanic)
-Great Big Sea
-The Bollox

I really should use Pandora more often. I mean it has been how long since Craig told me about it? more then 3 years I think. I dunno but a long time and John uses it ALL THE TIME... In the car while running around. Want to listen to one of the many CDS in the car? Nope Pandora. lol.

By the way my Pandora username is my hotmail right now but if I can I'll change it to my gmail. Just if you are interested in my channels. *shrugs*

Anyway just a tiny update and more rantage then update. Oh well.

laters my interweb peeps

Its that time of year again. Oi... lol

Just pasting my wall post from FB here 'cuz it says it all.

Just finished up all the lil details that *I* need to do for the SR this year and I'm not to surprised at the end product. I'm leaving the gas figures to John. As I was sitting here knee deep in mapquest, hotel addresses, room prices and dates, John who is on the couch playing WoW says that I'm great at this planing stuff and could do it for a living. Thx for saying so John but ummm no thx. It is as Ina said last time (or the time before I can't tell) my mother bird phase in the trip and doings. If I don't then it will never get done lol. Now just to wait for it to get close so I can go into panic mood and start doing the packing (or should I say bugging them to get packed) and entertainment and food ready. *sigh* more planing.

OH THE RAPTURE!

NERDSCAPE for Kevin Hearne's Contest

Current Music:

Final Boss - MC Frontalot

Kevin Hearne is having a contest over at his blog for a signed copy of his first book Hounded.

You can either do a Nerdscape (It’s a digital photo of 1) a book 2) an action figure and 3) junk food) or a Beerscape (beer and food).







In my Nerdscape we see Kimahri playing World of Warcraft as his guild's GM (not to be mistaken for the other
GM). His guild is named
Bad Wolf. Out front of his laptop is a cope of
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on DVD and a copy of The Sword of Truth: Faith of the Fallen. Why those two? Well The Two Tower's Battle of Helm's Deep (Battle of the Hornburg) is one of my favorites and Kahlan is just phenomenal at pulling her soldier's asses out of the fire. Great inspiration for a GM leading a raid in WoW. Off to the side my stuffed Jackalope from the birthplace of the Jackalope myth (Douglas, Wyoming) is rocking out to MC Frontalots' song "Last Boss" (MC Frontalot is the godfather of Nerdcore Hip Hop) getting himself pumped up for downing the bosses in the WoW raid.




This Youtube copy seems like a bad copy >.> seriously check out his stuff it is great.


Behind Kimahri on the 'wall' are two maps. One is a map of Middle-earth with the Eye of Sauron drawn on it. The other one is a map of The Midlands from SoT with a X on the Old World. There is also a fan made poster for Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series) and one for Dumbledore's Army based on the Uncle Sam poster. On the laptop there are two stickers. One is Calvin and Hobbes spoof of Han Solo and Chewie on a mini Millennium Falcon and a spoof on the USPS logo with a Owl Post of Hogwarts.

Sadly I did not include a solid junk food but, if you are a geek/nerd/gamer I think you will agree that you gulp, glug and bleed Mt. Dew.




I think I over did it a lil and yet missed the solid food part. lol When I think nerd food I think what all WoW players joke about which is Mt. Dew and Hotpockets and since I had no Hotpockets ready to use I just used the Mt. Dew. I honestly had a blast with this and it was way fun. Winning would be beyond Uberly awesome but this was fun none the less. And yes I did over do the links in the post but that is for the people that don't quiet get all the things in the pic.

Either way I'm excited to grab a copy of Hounded when it comes out. :D
