Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 09, 2007 5:30pm PSTWell I assume about half the people here plan to see 300 in the next few days. I'm hoping to catch a late showing myself tonight assuming I can put together enough change working the corner. Sucks that Maarten left town, he really knew how to work it and reel in the Johns. I look forward to 300 being filled with lots of yelling and sweaty dudes.

He has a tender heart and wrote the Tabula Rasa article today. He will be joining the rotation along with Chris Faylor. No, I dont know what we're doing.

I have WinXP running in a window and I'm installing Medieval Total War 2 in the background. Everything is just working so damn well so far. The plan is to reboot into windows and play some videa games. Also, I put in a 2nd gig of ram last night so hopefully the game will run well.
It's too early to say for sure, but this Macbook pro may be the finest computer I've ever used. A solidly built laptop, super thin, pretty light and VERY powerful.

We throw great parties. Every event, weusually end up throwing a party because we are the only ones in our group of friends who have their own house and can buy alcohol (both because of age and financial status). We really weren't planning on throwing a St. Pattys day party... our house is finally on it's way to getting organized, throwing a party pretty much ruins our entire weekend, etc etc. I got a message from some girl I don't even like asking if she could invite someone to our party. *record scratch*
I responded by saying that we weren't really having a party... but I found out that, like, 20 people are pretty much planning to go to this nonexistant party.
Should I tell everyone to fuck off or let the party happen? I feel like a total bitch by saying "uh, you're all assholes, how about we'll invite you when we decide we want you at our house."

I do really like the world it takes place in, and I love how he handles magic, but that's about it. I really don't see how this gets compared to Game of Thrones. It's not even in the same league... Hell I don't even think it's in the same league as Dragonlance Chronicles. I am reading Deadhouse Gates now, which already seems like it's written a bit better... and I know everyone says the 2nd book is the best, so I'm looking forward to it.
A few questions/critisisms of the 1st book
What happened to tattersail? She was the main character up until she exploded and became a strange little girl. uhhhh ok.
A huge portion of the book is about Lorn, yet she never does shit. She easily dies when she gets to the town.
A magical house eats Raest? Oh ok.
What was the point of Hairlock? He didn't do anything and yet they go out of their way to kill him.

isn't all of that stuff illegal to ask for? I understand they are setting me up in Korea, but they have offices and actively recruit in the US. Does that stuff seem odd to anyone else?

We are going play Battlefield 1942 tonight! We will play until the game ends or the sun rises, whichever happens first.

The Battlefield server password is in themelon's profile. We also have a global teamspeak server for those who wish to use it. Teamspeak is optional, but it helps in the coordination of tactics. Even listening without a microphone is beneficial to your team.

Can anyone recommend any good books to read? I don't much at all and since the new year I've committed myself to reading a book a month.
I'm not really into sci-fi / fantasy books so anything other than that goes...
