Chess, Planetarion and I'm Uberhamster's bitch.
"These are not stolen...they just haven't been paid for and we can't get 'em again because they've changed the bloody locks."
Damn you, Uberhamster! Damn you to helllllllllll! Actually, I'm just kidding. It's just that now he's got me on this chess kick and it's driving me nuts. I've already found a nice set of plastic pieces (tournament grade) and a nice wooden board and a book. I want to play NOW!! But, I can't. I don't have the money to order them yet. I could play online, but I'm tired of getting my ass kicked by little 12-year old girls who go on about N'Sync while chatting. I mean, I can only be humiliated so many times before I finally get bored. Honestly, though, I've always been interested in playing chess, seriously, not just for shits and grins, but have never really had anyone teach me. Guess I didn't think it was cool. Besides, I want one of my sons to be the next Bobby Fischer. Not really, but it's a good chess reference. Heh.
Well, things with the wife turned out ok the other night. Ends up she was mad, but not at me. She was in the same boat I was, bored, but couldn't sleep, so she was aggrivated. She finally fell asleep though. I watched the 13th Warrior and dug it. I'm not a big Antonio Banderas fan, but it's a damn good movie. *After being thrown a broadsword by a Norseman*"I cannot lift this". "Then grow stronger!" God, the Norsemen had such simple philosophies. Heh. Dig it man. I also watched a great movie this weekend and again last night. "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels". It was written and directed by Guy Ritchie, the one guy who wrote and directed "Snatch". It's a great movie with a few plot twists and surprises. If you get half a chance go rent it. Do it ya ponces!!
I've been telling everyone I can think of about my checkride Friday, in the hopes that someone would help me come to my senses and talk me out of it, but everyone keeps being all nice and supportive. Pisses me off to no end. What happened to all the nay-sayers and shit. Where's a person to put you down when you need one? Shit. Well, I'm still fuckin' nervous as hell about it, but I've resigned myself to the fact that I can actually do all the maneuvers that are required, and do them quite well actually, so why fight it. Friday is going to be a looooong day.
Well, I finally decided to join in on Planetarion, another of Uberhamster's doings. I'm just Uberhamster's bitch, plain and simple. I didn't realize that the round is almost over though. I'm building away like a good little ruler, though, and just biding my time until someone I've never met gets pissed at me, or bored with life, and stops by to turn me little planet into space dust. Oh well. I'm not too good at Futuristic Space Strategy anyway. As you probably remember, I'm playing that real-time space strategy game Homeworld. Well, I started mission 04 the other day and within like 20 minutes every fuckin' ship I had build was wiped out. Guess I should read my strategy guide for that mission before I actually start it. Hmmm...go figure.
Well, that's enough for today. I'll catch you all later and I'll try to be more up to date on my entries. Love to yas all!!
