Been a while!

Been a while since I last made a post! Pretty much because I'm not playing wow any more, and haven't done much in the way of playing any games either!

So this, like most are, pointless post is a reminder to myself to actually get on and write about something! So hopefully that's what I'll do.

WOW and Stuff

Before I begin, I will admit I am currenly very very drunk!!!
I am a gamer, a roleplayer, hey a nerd, a geek and proud of it!
Tonight I have been thinking about my time playing world or warcraft! And I have some things to say!
I miss  the friends I made years ago! Vagar who was on my first ever instance in blackthathom deaps - we 3 man'd it with a rogue over several hours and many many deaths, and then Tsuabasa and Taylar who I see screen shots of in my archive when we where leveling upto 60 so long ago! I always regret leaving our guild Twilight Talons for a startup raiding guild while you where on holiday Taylar. I love you hon and always will even tho you will probably never read this!
Moving on I found a couple of weeks ago my Drunken Dragons T-Shirt!!!! And it reminds me that of every guild since twilight talon I have ever been in this is the one that most felt like home! I so regret the disband and recreate where I was asked to sit in judgement of who should be allowed back in.
From my DD days I miss so many people! Especially Oona (Isabella) I remember our runs in Strat and Scholomance where my comment on teamspeak of "opps" was always handled with humour and fun! I also miss you babe and tho I'm crap at sending messages I really hope you are doing well! Of course from then I missed loads of other people :)
So since Eylisum and Eureka where murdered - no other word is justified - I've only really been on the game to finally get my "insane in the membrane" achievement!!! 6month overdue when I got it but I got it :)
Now I'm waiting for patch 3.9 when hunter ditch mana! Something which would make Kersenka soooo happy if he was still around! WHere did you go my friend??? I miss you too! Then I shall be back to WoW again - my addiction, my pleasure. my fun! And I have to decide what to do!!!! Will my friends Avid (where did you go you dwarfen twat!), Akuru (the priest of wiping!), Dhark (who has had so many chars since the rogure) and Avin - (whose name I have forgotten in my very drunken stat- real id don't show char names.....) All come back to the Alliance or will Drunken Dragons be willing to take back a huner who left years ago? Addy? what do you say??
While checking stuff on wow - I saw a message for Kers a week ago :D :D makes me smile :)

Ok now enough about wow - despite it once being my life and come cataclysm will possible again! I have one final drunken though to say - WHY O WHY do I constantly obsese about an ex who I will never hold again?

God I need help! Some one to get me out of my rut! - So looking for a slightly bossy women (red hair a major plus!!! - see Looking back at women in tv I've fancies their is a trend - Gillian Anderson, Alison Hanagan [willow], Leta Alexandra [babylon 5], and rencently Felicia Day - Red heads all (even if died in the shows that was the colour!!!!) - And fun, gamer a bonus, into rock, metal, synphonic rock, nu metal ect also a plus!!!

Going to shut up now as I may be sobering up!!!!!!

Theme Tune

I had a go at settlers 7 a month or so back and while I enjoyed the game I did think the campaign part was a bit short! Appears to be aimed largely at multiplayer games.

Despite this the theme tune just blew me away! So a bit of looking and here is a version of it I found on You Tube.



And also a link to the artists MySpace page > Here

So the results are almost complete....

A jump into real life this afternoon, seeing as I've just got up (my result came in at about 5:02). The election shows to me how unfair and undemocratic a first past the post system is. With about 24 more seats to be declared the number of seats is:-

• Conservative - 294
• Labour - 252
• Liberal Democrates - 53
• Over - 27

But at the same time the percentages of the actual vote go as follows:-

• Conservative - 36.1%
• Labour - 29.3%
• Liberal Democrates - 22.9%

 So at the time of writing this the conservatives have 47% of the seats with 36.1% of the vote and labour have 40% of the seats with 29.3% of the vote. Both parties have a greater percentage of seats than votes.
Now next down you have the Liberal Democrates with only 8% of the seats but with 22.9% of the public vote!

To me that is unfair. Our system is in desperate need of reform. So before I escape this stupid thing called real life here is a very important link- Electorial Reform Society

New Look

Well at work I've been learning loads of web technologies because we are finally shifting all our reporting databases to an intranet platform, and will also be moving the in house databases from access (yes... I know but I work in a college... which explains it all) to web based applications.

So on messing with the wonder that is JQuery I began thinking can I tidy up my blog with it, make section hide and grow with mouse overs etc. I tried it but the widgets would not co-operate so instead I remembered an email about blogger in draft. Looked at it and redesigned my blog using that instead. With a bit of my own CSS thrown in to get fine details how I wanted them. (The Firebug plugin for fire fox helped wonders for locating the actual ID's and Classes of the stuff I wanted to style).

The result is my new look blog :)

PRINCE2

On a life issue, after 3 days of some serious hard work I got 80% on the exam for PRINCE2 Foundation so I'm seriously happy :D

Another year and decade!

Happy new year my imaginary readers!

And from the Onion

While wandering around the onion news network site at work I came across this article
And I completely understand where the guy is coming from, cus as a friend said years ago “Even dressed as a geeky nerd She’s Hot”. A sentiment I completely agree with!

Shopping Outfits…

And for something just plain funny was a link from The Anorak to a blog called People of Walmart. Pictures people have taken of walmart customers, and cars in the carpark, in the states. Makes me feel less bad about walking around to sainsburys in a pair of baggy tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt!

And as ASDA has been owned by walmart for a few years now maybe I could go on a hunting trip and see if anyone here can be THAT BAD!

I could be poet laureate…

At lunch in the heat I came up with the future* award winning poem, in lines of 8.

Suicides Storm
A shout that cuts across the air,
Voice as ever shrill and fickle,
The words a knife in my despair,
Blood now slowing to a trickle.

These twisting dreams of time and space,
The call of shadows echoing loud,
I fell them rip me from this place,
Beneath the thund’ring lightning cloud.

What truly lies beyond the veil,
A journey of eons seconds long,
But if I slip my heart may fail,
My tortured soul must learn the song.

*If you are unaware I live with my head in the clouds of my own little world.

A Comment and a Plea

It has been way too hot for me this week, making it hard to concentrate at work. So on the times when my mind wandered I came up with the following bits of prose.

A Comment on Law
Twisted and warped by the greed of man,
Justice is nothing more than another commodity,
The rich can buy their so called innocence,
Thus making a mockery of our legal systems.

Storm Plea
This heat is dampening both mind and skin,
The very air it fights against my breathing,
So for my eyes of fire and nose of water, 
Give me a storm to rage all summer!

Happy New Year

I've been a completly lazy git since september by not posting but that will change.... as if!

Any way to all my Imaginary readers! WELCOME TO 2009 :)

Interesting Reading

Ok, while at work on saturday, the only one I have to work each year, I came across an interesting series of articles on the BBC website. They are about numbers and statistics and how the media and marketing makes use of them in a way that shows what they want rather than anything like the truth!

And so we have 
Lesson 1 > Surverys
Lesson 2 > Counting
Lesson 3 > Percentages
Lesson 4 > Averages

Now why have I linked these? Easy they are about numbers and I like numbers!!!

Flash of Insight

To day at work I had one of my flashes of insight!!! About 15 years ago Lenny Henry did a comedy called Chef. Now flying forward to recent years Gorden Ramsey swears a lot and shouts and every one in kitchens in a similar way.

THEREFORE – Gorden has OBVIOUSLY modelled himself on this show!

Like all my sudden understandings about the inner workings of life and the universe this one was completely unrelated to the current topic of conversation.

Welcome to 2008

Just to say happy new year to all my imaginary readers :D

Dazed & Confused

I mentioned in the nats post about my day one T-Shirt. I've had it since my first year of Uni, which makes it 11-12 years old, but it still makes people stop and doubletake so its usefulness has not ended!

Even the camera struggled :)

An Aside

Last night I went clubbing for the first time in 2-3 months, and the first time since they banned smoking in public buildings.

Awsome night out, but then retribution usually is :)

No One Smoking! ment I didn't need my inhaler which I usually do when out, and this morning my skin still smelt of the shower gel I used yesterday and not the stench the cancer sticks tend to leave your skin and cloth reaking off.

I'm happy about that ban!
