time for my every-other-week-ly blog update. sorry... its spring break and im to bored to have time to do anything. (i know that doesnt make sense... but its true) last weekend was fun. got together in the city at rash's house for a lan party. KGB and gnome were there, along with Rash's bro of course. it was bring-your-own-computer so it was nice to have my comp and monitor with me... comfortable and stuff. we tried desperately to find some good games that we cpuld all play... but couldnt really find one. the closest we got was Birth of the Federation, a turn based star trek game that i really got into. problem was... the game died after like 10 turns... and continued to do so. next. we figured an FPS would be a good stand-by.. the obvious choice was unreal tounament, but for some weird reason we couldnt gewt it to run at all on KGB;s comp. and Ash was doing sumthin for Gnome to free up some space on his comp... so it was just me, Rash, and Gnome playin for a while. after that got old, we started searching again. we threw around a few ideas.. like star craft and war craft.. but Rash wasnt in the RTS mood. finally Rash had an idea.... No One Lives Forever, the spoofy james bond/austin powers shooter, has a co-op multi player mode. unfortunately the co op mode only has suport for 4 players.. one short of our party so ash had to play this ridiculous game in which u try diferebt ways of knocking a stick figure down a flight of stairs and try and cause the most amount of damage to his body. its REALLY stupid.. but strangely adictive. the sound effects and animations are pretty hilarious.in the randomly timed words of KGB... good times.

well, in case you care, i've gotten my replacement keyboard... i've had it for a while now. so.... i should have updated, but unfortunaely, nothing interesting has happened, til this last weekend when my dad and my brother and i went to sacramento... just for the hell of it. we figured we haddent gone on a trip type thing in a while, and my dad had taken the friday off cuz of a doctor's apointment so we said what the hell, might as well. also, i figured i'd kill another school assignment in the process, so we visited Sutter's mill and the site at which gold was discovered. believe it or not, there is still quite a bit of gold still there, only gold isnt worth enought to take the time to combine all the microscopic particles and melt them together. i myself collected a few pieces... no larger then a.... i dunno, sumthin really small... i got nuthin. actually, they are about the size of confeti or something. nothing exceptional, but its gold nonetheless. also we visited a local car museum.... lets just say that it was just SLIGHTLY biased towards Ford... about 80% of the cars on display were Fords, and thats not counting the Mercuries or Lincolns which are basicly Fords too. so yeah, it was an OK car museaum, they had a few descent cars, but for someone who isnt a big fan of Fords... it got a little repetitive. (i learned later that it used to be an exclusively Ford Museum) moving on.... our first night there, we drove by the local minor league baseball stadium and asked if the Sacramento Rivercats were playing that night... they were, at 7:05, so we figured we ought to go. other than the fact i was freezing my (insert your favorite obscene body part(s) here) off, the game was more or less enjoyable. we didnt stick around to see the end because we losing feeling in our extremities and begining to feel the first signs of hypothermia. the hotel (i'm sorry, motel) we stayed at was a dump.... so after one night, we moved on to another town and stayed at this kik ass HOTEL where we got free breakfast (and i dont mean a pastry and a cup of coffee) i had an omlet, it was good... it sure beat the apple danish from the day before. anyways, that was last weekend, as for this week... school... need i say more? this weekend... nothin Rash first planned to have his B-Day LAN party this weekend, but due to reasons beyonf our control, he had to postpone to the following weekend. ill check in then :-)
