Ass-backwards...

Funny story. At work today, I found myself with a constant wedgie. One that I had to pick roughly every few minutes.

After a few hours, I quickly groped around and discovered that somehow, I had put on my underpants on backwards.

Seriously.

To put this into perspective...I don't dress in the dark, so I can't even use that as an excuse. I've been pretty out of it the last few days, though. Haven't been sleeping well, and I think I might be coming down with something too.

Also, it was my birthday on the 17th, so I'm now basking in my own decreptitude at the ripe old age of 34.

I did manage to grab Star Wars: The Clone Wars, season 2, and watched all of it over the course of this last week. Still a pretty good show.

I've also started collecting a board(-ish) game called Heroscape. It's basically a dumbed-down, tabletop RPG game with pre-painted miniatures. I've probably spent $400 buying figures and expansions for it. Bad news is, apparently the owners of it, Wizards of the Coast (current owners of the Dungeons & Dragons RPG) dropped it back in November, leaving the game without a distributor. So now everything is essentially out-of-print. What that means is...without any continuing production, prices for existing/remaining content in shops will go through the roof and the rarer stuff that I don't have will become even more expensive.

Case-in-point...A small jungle expansion with 4 spider miniatures, a smattering of tiles, and a copse of trees was going for $200+ on E-bay. That's about 5X what the set was originally worth.

But not to worry. I think I'm going to break out some arty skills and custom-make my own tiles, trees, and whatever-the-Hell else I want.

SHAZAM!

Busy, busy bee...

Blergh, been so busy lately. Double-blergh because I have a migraine. Thankfuly the pain, dizzyness, hurling, and lack of coordination have all but worn off. I'm even braving food for the first time in a couple days. Yay me!

It's funny how I ignore my poor blog, rob it of alot of the stuff going on in my days, yet when something comes along and kicks my ass...that's when I finally set aside some time for it. I've got to stop doing that. Maybe that'll be my belated New Years resolution.

Recent events:
I've been spending alot of time with Andromeda, and finally got my lightsaber (it's pretty sweet). If I can figure out how to post a picture of it, I'll try. Damned new-fangled interwebs!

Also gotten a few new addictions.

Being a Star Wars fan I tend to keep tabs on various Star Warsy things. I've been on the fence regarding the recent Clone Wars CGI animated series. I won't get too far into it, I'm fairly sure I've ranted in a previous entry why my fandom of Star Wars isn't synonymous with fandom of George Lucas.

Anyhoo, I finally caved and picked up the 1st season. And I have to say that I'm impressed. The first few episodes are kind of "meh", but after the first 4-5 episodes the show really starts to find its legs. We get to see some pretty mature concepts get explored. In an odd way, I think the show reminds me of the old Batman: the Animated Series, which found an amazing capacity for being able to entertain children, and adults, AND fans of the source material in 1 fell swoop. Now I'm chomping at the bit to grab season 2.

*slaps veins in arm*

JUST PUT IT IN MY VEIN!!

Erm. Yeah...

My other recent addiction is the new DC Universe Online MMO. While not perfect by any means (alot needs revisioning, if not a total overhaul), but the game itself is ridiculously fun, and feels more like a console button-masher (which it is, ported from PS3 to PC). Overall it's a very dumbed-down MMO, with pretty great voice acting, bringing back alot of established actors who have provided voices from various cartoon series.

Blergh, Up for an hour, now I'm exhausted. Back to bed for me...
