Before I continue with my long awaited post on the blog, I am going to recall a conversation between myself and the ever svelte and perky Dragonwyntir that was held recently**:
DW: So when are you going to Write for Interscription again? Or do anything for that matter?
Me: Soon, I suspect. I have been so bogged down with the work that my boss has put upon me. He is a slave driver that one. Never lets me get a good nights sleep, let alone any passions that require free time. It was horrible. See this Black eye? He gave it to me.
DW: Sounds bad.
Me: Yeah. He was a tyrant. Picture Ike Turner with a blonde top. Good thing he’s gone now. He moved to the Yukon to a Buddhist Monastery like Leonard Cohen. Maybe he will come back and write something prolific.
DW: Let’s hope. So about Interscription…
Me: Yeah yeah. I will get to it. I promise.
DW: You had better.
Me: *blank look*
DW: Don’t you know Who I am?!?!?!? I’m the Dragonwyntir Bitch! My Suit is tight!
Me: I have no doubt about the tightness of your suit.
DW: I make Chuck Norris Look like Rachel Ray!
Me: Well Rachel Ray is Pretty Darn Tough…
DW: Just do it….Or there will be pain.. And Buy a Zune.
So here I am. Being that it is January, I thought it may be fitting to write about some of the highlights and lowlights of 2007, and things I am looking forward to in 2008.
Some of the Highlights of 2007:
~I won my 360 from a fund raising raffle, thus making all of my male co-workers froth at the mouth in envy and anticipation at kicking my butt in Rainbow Six: Vegas. To offset the utter butchness that was joining the world of FPS, I decided to name my console Priscilla. Red Ring of Death aside, I do enjoy the 360 and a lot of its features. The Arcade and the achievements system most notably.
I also learned a valuable lesson: do NOT always listen to your friends/coworkers when it comes to game choices *cough*fusionfrenzy*cough*. It only leaves you unsatisfied and poor. GRAW II was the most expensive mistake Video game wise I made this year.
~I discovered that the internet is in fact not all about pr0n. sure let’s face it, Furniture Sex is fantastic, but having discovered LOLanimals I have found a new ‘net purpose. Who thought that taking stupid pics of animals and slapping a poorly spelled grammatically challenged caption on it would be so entertaining? If you had explained it to me sans visuals, would have thought you were on the pot. But tell me, how can this NOT be funny?:
My point has been made.
~Peter Moore making an ass of himself at E3. His Rock Band demo looked like someone having too many Hennessey’s on Karaoke night***. And for the record, the “tattoos” he had on his arm were painted on. He ain’t that tough. I guess this was why it was bittersweet to see him leave the glorious world of Microsoft to Work at EA sports. I am not sure if there is a direct correlation, but after he left Microsoft seemed to work on improving not only their Xbox Product, but their customer service as well. (it isn’t perfect, but it has improved). I could give a crap about the Madden line, so let him screw that up.
~My aunt Linda’s cookies. Okay, this is an annual treat, but having just received them it makes me happy. Every Christmas I get this plate of home mad cookies that is quite possibly the closest thing to Nirvana on a plate I have ever had.
~Charlie the Unicorn. That is all that need be said.
(Coming soon: 2007: the bad)
