Compared to the original Office, it is far too silly and the humour couldn't be more obvious and over the top. The original was much better in that the humour was mostly subtle and didn't rely on ridiculous non-plausible embarassing situations. I think the writers of the new series totally missed the point really. The new series totally lacks any seriousness also.

So I'm 32 years old, and I've decided to go back to school, since further advancement in my company will be hampered by not having a degree. So, because of the horrible academic performance I had back in 1991, I used what they call the "Fresh Start" program. It wipes the record clean, as if I'd never gone to college before at all, and I become a freshman with zero credits. However, I now fall prey to the "help" incoming freshmen get, such as campus orientation and this ridiculous alcohol education CBT I have to take or else I will have a hold on further registration.
While this "fresh start" program is good, because of the bureaucracy in the university, they fail to recognize their "helpful" programs are ineffective and moreover, annoying to someone in my situation. That alcohol CBT? It taught me all about college "binge" drinking and how to avoid date-rape drugs, and to be cautious of Greek societies, assuming I'd be living in a dorm somewhere and be immersing myself in college life, instead of going to school at night, working a full-time job during the day and coming home to my wife and two young kids. Luckily, I was able to be exempted from the orientation, since I'd already spoken to an advisor and because the admissions director managed to recognize that since I'd been to school before, I know where things are and how things work.

I just found Rune copies for 5 CAN$ in a library. lol. ok so i bought it, unfortunatly, its a french copy. i note it here, cause it may be a cause of the problem i have.
The game installs, i patch 1.07 (it seems to be the latest patch, withouth expansion pack) and i use the 1.07 ALL Languages patch. Thing is, it says i need the CD in to play the game. Needless to say the CD is in. So... is there some kind of known issues with XP and Rune, or something of that matter ?
I deeply want some gladiator multiplayer like I had back in the day, the game was so darn cool. Anybody got their copy of the game to work in XP ?
ps the CD wont be recognized in either the DVD drive or the CDRW liteon drive. it was installed in the latter. All those operations have been done in the administrator account.

the music video's are all terrible songs from sony's c stock bands/artists, but one in particular annoyed me so much it kind of facinated me. its by a band called Coheed and Cambria, and its called Blood Red Summer. Its a super cheesy, poorly written piece of bubblegum punk with an ultra annoying vocalist who cant come up with a musically cohesive vocal melody over the music and happens to look like a troll from under a bridge, just to top it all off. the video pissed me off so much that i watched it 2-3 times out of morbid curiosity over the last week.
this curiosity and boredom drove me to look the band up on the web tonight, hoping to feed my annoyance with more terrible pics or songs, and my search took me to http://www.coheedandcambria.com/ at which i was greeted by a song that loads by default, Welcome Home. Started off with some classical guitar, broke into a semi interesting prog-metal verse (at this point i was doubting it was the same band, the sound was totally different), but then the vocals came in (confirming it was in fact the same band), and the whole portion of this song from where the vocals start to where they end is 100% rock on! it ends on a weak note with the guitar solo, but the middle of this song is grade A stuff.
so yeah, im kind of confused. last thing in the world i was expecting to get out of my search, and i've never done such an abrupt 180 on a band before. so i thought id share...

Coworker plays WoW. Somehow manages to get work done too, dunno how. Anyway he was riding around on this giant bird, it was very cool, I said I would buy that game just to fly around on that bigass bird and say "Fuck all y'all people fighting down there" but then he said yeah but riding the bird costs money.
WHAT! First you gotta buy the game, then you gotta pay every month to play it, and even THEN riding the bird ain't free? Who made this game, Disney? I'ma stick to killing PigCops, I only pay 6 times for that (game + expansion + 500,000 user map add-ons), not including gift copies.
In other news, saw Red Eye tonight, sometimes Wes Craven gets it right with Nightmare on Elm Streets (1 and 3, 7 blew), Screams, Deadly Friend, and Shocker, and sometimes he blows it with Monkeyshines*, people Under the Stairs, One that I forgot, and now this one. Give it up, Wes, or stick to making GOOD movies, 'cause when you stray from that it ain't pretty.
XOXOX,

* I know Monkeyshines was George Romero but that just proves another point.

Is it more important to try and win the event by a bigger margin or trying to build up kudus? Which seems to end up making you slower.

So does Alliance AND Horde have to get everything to complete the task or can just one side complete it to open the gate?

I'm trying to come up with a design for a tattoo I plan on getting and i'm having problems. Basically it will be 3 sets of footprints, each being larger then the other. (It will represent my kids). I need either to find a font that would do like baby footprints or something to that effect. I would just get the kids footprints myself but their a little ig right now. Anyone know such a font or have artistic flair that they would be willing to throw something together for me? It's going on my body if that helps :)
