I've Been Called A Lot Of Things, But Never Funny

by Rainier on May 2, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

We managed to do most of the things we set out to do this weekend. I ordered a new graphics card (GeForce 550), saw Fast Five (good, entertaining flick, but be sure to stay until after the credits), and I even got around to putting my new PC together. Unfortunately my old dual core workhorse was more antiquated than i thought, as it still used an IDE HD as a boot disk. The new rig doesn't even accommodate that anymore, so I have to go track down an IDE/SATA connector.

In case you have been hiding in a cave, Prince William's wedding is old news. The new hot topic is the much-overdue termination of Osama bin Laden. Although bin Laden has been on the run for nearly a decade, US Special Forces has been tracking the al Qaeda leader for the past few months. They planned a raid on the compound in Pakistan and put an end to it all with a bullet to the head. Good riddance!

Now, You Must Wear The Cone Of Shame

by Rainier on May 1, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Last night, we saw our friend perform stand-up comedy, and while most people in the lineup were quite funny, he did not have a good show at all. He's got the talent, but he's been trying to mix it up and putting an act together to set him apart from the pack, but unfortunately, it's not gelling yet.

Today, we have a full schedule, gfx card research, computer assembly, and watching Fast Five. Let's see how many things we actually get done by the end of the day.

Oh yeah, I'll also play some APB Reloaded and probably install and check out RIFT.

What Do You Expect From A Teetotaling, Non-Smoking Vegetarian?

by Rainier on April 30, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

We're not royalty watchers, but we did stay up all night to watch Prince William get married to Kate Middleton. Monarchs are a dying breed, and royal weddings are few and far between, so why not? They are a cute couple, and the wedding was pretty cool to watch. Now, let's move on ....

This weekend, Fast Five is opening, so unless plans change, we're going to see it on Sunday. Speaking of watching, we checked out Stargate: Universe, Bones and Fringe.

Oh yea, and it's PC assembly time this weekend as well. Fear!

Time for some APB Reloaded (and GamersFirst, fix the damn latency/lag).
