Captain, honestly…

I preferred her renegade option. This site discriminates against people who don't like comics!

So, SAS black hawks are going back and forth, back and forth low over my house. At least 3, maybe more. SO LOUD! House shaking LOUD!

Bravo once said they were quiet…? Well maybe these are shitty Aussie variants because they are FREAKING loud!

It's some sort of silly anti-terrorist training in the lead up to the commonwealth heads of government (CHOGM) meeting that'll be in the city here in a couple of weeks. Whatever. I know it's really just a publicity stunt by the useless state government. Right-wing arseholes. -_-

Yes… I remember how Skool was talking about her character's romance option… A LOT! Luckily for me, my version of Shepard is the one who was orphaned and is a sole survivor. While he's a very nice guy, he avoids romance like the plague… :)

Oh, no… one of my female coworkers showed me the "Nyan Cat" meme… now I'm looking for other viral videos with that stuff in it… with the donut cat being my favorite. I'm not going to link it here because I'm not going to put you all in that same trap…

When I played mass effect 2 I had shapard tap that genetically perfected female, she just had generic love interest written all over her.

I didn't realize how much exercise kept my thoughts, and therefor life, in balance. I use that time to contemplate all the things. It's quiet. people rarely work out with me, so i'll spend the 1-3 hours by myself, and my thoughts, anything aggressive or frustrating can be taken out right there, with a little extra speed, weight, or more reps.
I've only been able to work out twice over the last two weeks, and work and life choices are killing me, regardless of the beauty of the area i'm surrounded by.

But she had a jaw like a steamshovel… I tied Talli and Jack when i played male Shep and no-one when I went femme-shep. -Except for Kelly…

Lovely… a prison exchange gone horribly wrong. Oh, well… got a new squadmate out of it, a couple thousand credits, a shotgun upgrade, and a lot of experience. But the galaxy is one less a prison ship, and one less a corrupt warden…

And hence why I don't plan on taking on any love interests in this game. Maybe if my Paragon version of Shepard was a spacer who had lots of honors in the military or a very ruthless renegade he would do that. But no… He's a guy who lost his family as a child and then became the sole survivor of his unit in a botched mission. Add to that (in the original save file I lost) that he was forced to sacrifice his only love interest near the end of the first game, well… There's no way he's going to let anyone get too close to him now for fear of losing them too. But he's still a nice guy.

Jack is pretty useless with her shotgun, but her powers are decent. For the rest- The best thing about doing her loyalty mission is her alt uniform; you finally get to cover that awful chest of hers.

So I have this hunch that I might be alergic to coffe, or at least it makes my stomach sick for bout 48 hours or so. I wonder if there is coffaholics anonymous….

Posted at 9:10AM, Oct. 9, 2011

Did you eat? Strong coffee can be near-devastating on an empty stomach.

Wow, I may be crazy, but I got a lot done in those extra 2-1/2 hours. not that this is going to be a new habit, if I can help it.

Posted at 11:10AM, Oct. 9, 2011

Well, it does not matter if I'm on full, half or empty stomach. Which kind of reminds me of food, mmm food….

Posted at 9:10PM, Oct. 9, 2011

I can never stomach much caffeine no matter what I've eaten. Even a small ice cap makes me feel a little bleh. I also tend to feel jittery and anxious rather than energized. But ice caps are so delicious. : (

Watched the newest episode of Transformers Prime. Now the Autobots (with an unexpected ally's help) are going to prevent the Transformers version of 2012… basically the giant planet eating robot that is actually Earth fully awakening and ending the world by transforming… I wonder what kind of feelings it would envoke when the last image you see is a giant robot transforming from that hunk of rock which once was planet Earth…

Okay. Back to Mass Effect 2…. and recruiting a test tube alien.

I did my own version of 24 hours of comic work this past weekend at work. Since the security cellphone got wet and prompty died I was trapped in the office.

So out came the laptop and the last bits of the script and I pounded out the last 20 page layouts of my current comic. Of course the following morning I realized it requires a rewrite because I left out an important panel.

The wife is in rehab in a nearby town and called for me to do yet another care-package. She asked for 3/4 sleeve shirts. Now she demands t-shirts because she's hot. I bring it over to the neighbor to drop off. Now when I was recovering from nearly breaking my head open in my fall down an elevator shaft I forgot I had offered to put together a cable splitter for her. She hasn't forgiven me and never will. I don't often see daggers in eyes, but I saw them yesterday when I dropped off the stuff. Her husband now has a scooter as he is no longer mentally capable to use a bicycle. I've known him for over 18 years and he has no idea who I am. But I'm all too accustomed to this now as I see this at work everyday.

My puppy has been sick all weekend and she is worse today. She is a Jack Russell and by definition is usually bouncing off the walls and showing other signs of ADD. She is sleeping right now which is not normal. Her eyes are puffy and bloody from scratching them. And there are red bumps all over her muzzle. Since I don't have enough time to run her to the vet (my dad) and then get to work, my mom will be coming to pick her up. I will most likely find it difficult to concentrate today.

Posted at 9:10AM, Oct. 10, 2011

@Niccea - sorry your Jack Russell is unwell - hope he'll be feeling better soon.
@bravo - I'm so sorry your wife (and you) have to go thru this ordeal. Ironic that the infirmed are called "patient" when that goes out the window so quickly.

It's barely noon and this day is F'd.

I have just about met my quota with arrogant, know-it-all personalities who find it an ongoing mission to browbeat others into a subserviant position when it comes to opinions. I'm beginning to think I must bring it out in people because I encounter this aggressiveness with some family members, at work – in fact, few arenas are devoid.

If these discussions were about facts, I could understand the ready dismissal of someone ignorant of fact. But I'm talking about opinions.

—

and the on-going repurcussions of the flood. We've had to face facts and realize another loss - yards of oak wainscotting ruined. rip it out - re-do the walls. no money to re-do the wainscotting tho.

If I could blink and just add 12 hours to this day so it would be over already, I would.

Now have my cable ready to switch over next week, should only be down for 24 hours tops… I can hope this holds true.

Well that'll be your internet down for 5 days then… Going buy all I've heard of British Internet and phone companies :(

Soooo fricken tired every day for about 7 days now. I thought I wasn't eating enough or getting enough sleep, so I got lots of both and it doesn't help. Coffee doesn't help either. Yesterday I was falling asleep at my keyboard. Today I feel half dead. It's horrible.

Posted at 5:10AM, Oct. 11, 2011

Wel that's better than I actually expect. O know the tired thing too, I think the stress is taking its toll on me. can barely keep my eyes open or lift my feet, yet have so much to do, coffee number four of the day in progress.

Posted at 8:10AM, Oct. 11, 2011

I was scheduled for a truck-unloading shift today, but my boss just called and said the truck got into an accident(the driver is okay) and I'm not needed today. I'm torn between being unhappy that I lost hours, and happy to have a day off.

Visited the wife again in Rehab. It's a nice ride through some really open rural country to get there. Middle of nowhere Monouth County; the real Garden State.

Everytime I talk to her I get a list of more stuff to bring her and now we're down to tank tops. First she asked for 3/4 sleeves. Okay delivered.
I'm too hot. Short sleeves. Delivered
Tank tops I'm still too hot. That was today.

She had prime rib for lunch which I just missed and it smelled so good. All the way home I was salivating for a nice juicy hamburger. I get home and I nuke a chicken breast. Breakfast was good I make some salsa and eggs. Yum. Maybe when I finally go shopping I'll get some bacon.

Meanwhile on the home front I'm playing batchelor and trying to procrastinate about everything except laundry and washing dishes. We have to figure out how she'll fit in the house with the walker and wheel chair. We'll need the back door installed and bathroom expanded. And here I am typing this.

Posted at 6:10PM, Oct. 11, 2011

Wow… why did I do it? Why did I go ahead and entertain that idea in Mass Effect 2?!?

…

Yeah… I actually went to the Sol System, then scanned and shot automated resource sensing devices into the seventh planet of that system…

And they probably stink by now… And I think I've got a stomach ache…

Oh, well… maybe I can find the PU-36 Space Modulator and head to Mars with it, then use it to blow up that blue/green planet that keeps obstructing my view of Venus…

… whenever this one friend contacts me its like walking into a korean drama… or sometime a spanish soap opera. either way i am now invited to a very awkward wedding
