Starting with this entry you will find the answers to the previous entries at the end of the entry instead of at the top. I think I like it better that way because the entries will start out with what I actually want to say and I won't have to worry about how I'm going to end an entry.
So here I am, still at work. It's Saturday night at 11:25 and here I am sitting at a desk making a blog entry. But don't think my life is all excitement. Oh no. I go through boring patches too.
Things should pick up tonight though when I go home. That's when I'll start playing my latest computer game I've decided to start playing again,
Planescape: Torment. This is another RPG kinda like Fallout sort of. Or at least in the way you control every thing it is very similar. But beyond that it is nothing like Fallout. All I've done so far in this Planescape (can't play it on Mac ;-) ) is make my character and go through some of the initial stages. For instance I learned something of the characters background, met my first party member: a sarcastic floating skull who talks too much, talked to some mysterious "scribe" who gave my some ambiguous clues, got dressed up as a zombie so I could pass off as similar to all the other zombies and found a conversation with a mysterious specter-like woman who seemed angry I never call. At least that's all I got out of a really long conversation.
Only 20 minutes of work left...
Now I hope I really stick with this game this time and really finish it. This attempt I am going to be a mage, which is different from what I usually pick. In most games I'm always a "warrior" or a "barbarian" or whatever. But I read somewhere you have the best experience in this game if you play as a mage so that is what I am.
Now I just want to complain about various news items. I won't be going into Kobi Bryant, the murdered basketball player, or any of the other stuff so prevalent in the news these days. I find that really annoying. So how about Iraq?
Now I'll point something out I haven't seen or heard any other place. And that's this constant reference to the "elite" troops of Iraq. Who are these mysterious "elite" soldiers anyway? Where did they come from? Have they really been training under the gun of the UN the past 12 years to really qualify them as "elite"? Are the elite ones easily recognizable as the ones wearing the soup bowls on their heads?! I can't really peeved when I hear a reporter
still after all this time refer to "elite" Iraqi troops. I'm telling you there are NO elite troops in Iraq. Got it?
Now how about this California thing? What now the rest of the country notices we don't like the asshole we have for governor? It was too much to ask for a little coverage of the asshole last election cycle but NOW you notice. Son of a bitch.
Ten minutes left!
I was so angry none of the news channels or radio talk shows would spend any time on this and draw attention to the situation. But oh yeah now sure there's going to be a special recall election and all of sudden the media is like "oh...that California". Pffff. Well fine then. Stupid media. I hope that asshole gets kicked out too. The biggest defense anyone has in favor of him is "the recall election will cost too much". Not "don't recall him because he's a great governor and has all these accomplishments..." or "the recall ballot only barely had enough signatures so it may not be the real will of the people" but simply "it will cost too much". As opposed to say further socialized medicine and the whole armada of body guards and CHP officers that follow him around where ever he goes. Doing anything himself to save any money? I don't think so. So what a load of crap. Costs too much.
Oh look time to go home.
Of course it won't be so easy once the new governor is in office. After all should a "normal" (read: real) Republican get elected he won't have too much going for him. Within (or possibly less than) 24 hours of being sworn in the entire California mess will be blamed on this new governor. And he won't be able to get anything passed either. Unless the legislature decides to do some cooperating which seems doubtful. Of course if they knew what was good for them they would cooperate with the new govenor so as to pacify any left animosity left over from the voters come the next election term.
Now what I don't really understand is how anyone can possibly point to the current governor’s education policy. I mean California has THE worst educaiton system in the entire country. So how can he say "vote me out and the education system will get worse"? This making sense to anyone? HOW CAN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM GET ANY WORSE?! I hope that wasn't a subtle question.
Oh and according to
this story Gary Condit is being urged to run for governor. Wait wait wait wait. Condit? For govenor? Insert your own expletive and sarcastic remark here. Just thinking about what I may want to think about this makes my head hurt and is exhausting. Well I don't feel like writing any more so here's the answer the last entry's title and good night.
The title of the last entry, "Woody Allen's Wife", is once again from
Whose Line is it Anyway?. In this episode the cast was playing this game in which one cast member is supposed to be a party host while the others have unusual personality traits or whatever and the host tries to guess what each cast member is pretending to be. Well this one time one of the "guests" was supposed to be Jar Jar Binx. But the "host" just didn't get it even though it seemed rather obvious. Finally she just guesses "Woody Allen's wife" which makes every body just explode with laughter and Drew Carey says "no...but that is a
really good guess". I think that was one of the better skits really (or you had to be there).
