Yay! Hi everyone, I just got done w/ my paper... it was a really, really stupid paper that shouldn'th ave taken me that long to do, but it did... so now I'm finally going to bed to get up at 7 or 8 am... Oy. 6 hours... Well at least I got ONE thing off my plate.. now for the next 50..
EDIT: Oh yea, job interview, went okay.. I doubt i'm getting the job... I don't even think I want it.. trying to figure out whether I should even fill out the criminal background history form... I don't want the job... but anyway. I need to write a thank you note via email (don't have their actual address)
And I look forward to seeing who got the 500th post tmw!
3:30 am. Whew. I just finished round 5 of the tournament. Work tomorrow (at 8:00am) is going to SUCK.
The bad news is that I lost 2-1. It was close, though... oh so close. It could have gone either way in either of the first two games.
The good news? It was an absolute blast to play. I haven't had that much fun in quite some time. Just so we'll have something to discuss, here's my decklist:
What it does:
Steal your opponent's stuff, and sacrifice it before they get it back. You can win by killing them with their own creatures, with Gargadon (especially with Fatal Frenzy), or with Urza's Factory.
Why it's fun:
Imagine this: It's turn five, your opponent is tapped out, having just played, say, a Chandra. All you have on the board is two mountains, three islands, and a Gargadon with 5 counters, due to a Threaten. Last turn, you played Sulfuric Blast to get rid of most of his creatures, bringing him to 17. Unbeknownst to your opponent, in your hand is the only card you need to win - Fatal Frenzy. Float the mana, sac all your lands, and swing for 18 with a very angry Gargadon. GG.
It almost needs its own sound effect: "BOOM, Headshot!"
That's one way it can - and did - win. Also fun is stealing and using your opponent's planseswalker with Word of Command. In the last round I played, I decked my opponent for 20 with his own Jace and gave myself a 17/17 avatar with his Ajani Goldmane. He beat me in that first game with three cards left in his library - that's why I say it was close. I just wish I could see the expression on someone's face when I do that for the first time - and they can't counter, or even respond in any way, due to me keeping priority.
I based this deck on my favorite deck of yesteryear - Reins of Power + Goblin Bombardment. It had Ray of Command and some other cheaper tools to work with, but the idea was the same. You take your opponent's stuff, attack with it, and get rid of it before they get it back.
I'm more than a little sick of the constant Scooby Doo reruns on Cartoon Network during the day. Makes me regret turning off Dragon Quest VIII. Then again, I'd regret that no matter what the context.
Random question. Does anyone in the 'house other than myself watch Reaper?
Happy birthday, Kraj. Or is it belated birthday? Well, either way =)
Yeah, it's a thoroughly entertaining show for people into supernatural-type stuff. It's a little monster of the week-ish, but not in an obnoxious way. Critics are drawing comparisons to shows like Dead Like Me and Buffy, with good reason. The writing's really smart.
Bret Harrison is adorable, yeah. Josh swears up and down that we look like brothers, so he's developed a crush. It's cute =)

Well I should give it a chance then. I'm a big fan of Buffy.
yeah, I actually have gotten quite a bit done. really, all that's left is the skin and hiar, and maybe a few other things.
and seeing as my opponent didn't respond to my PM, I'll take the win and move on...

Sorry to hear about the girl, Yukora, but if she thinks that, she's not worth your time.
Glurman: You'd be nailed by this guy in SYM who's annoyed by that.
Other news about Nai: So a few cool things happened yesterday.
I found that, on a test I was totally not prepared for, I got a 94%, only missing a question on systems of equations (where I did my math wrong), and a questino on finding a parallel line with a compass (where I hadn't been there for the lesson at all in the first place. Oddly, I got the 'bisect the angle' question right). This means my total average for that class is 90.1, which is something I'm happy with. I'm good at math, I just dislike it. Sorry for all math lovers in the house.
I went and worked out with my mom for 2 hours at the YMCA yesterday (It's fun to stay at the...). I found I'm really out of shape. The only reason I'm not going today is I think I overextended my left elbow on one of the machines, and it hurts like hell. I wouldn't be able to do many of the machines I'd want to do.
I also went to a job fair at Starbucks yesterday for a Barrista job there. I think the interview went over well, and I'm hoping to hear back from them within a few days. I'll be going to a job fair for Best Buy today, in hopes of luck.
And, lastly, I got my hands on a copy of Beautiful Katamari. Old news by now, I assume, but I'm enjoying it. It's got one of two really cool things that I was wanting since I beat We Love Katamari. My only complaint is that its too short, with only... What, 10 different levels? Still, some of them are long, and difficult.
@mr. stuff: i really like the deck seems to have alot of johnny in the deck.
@starr: thanks for the good legacy player compliment.
Well i just wanted to stop by and say hello i need to get going to work really soon but ill be back later tonight and i will be on for a little while too. I will see you all soon though and have a good thurseday everyone!
Wow I just had first hand prrof that the Gods are spiteful and hate me
So my second day on the new job I take a call from a lady without a case, and our tool was frozen so I could not help her. I was also done in like 10 minutes. So I tell her I will call her back, and will set a case up in the morning.
I forgot.
Last night, two weeks after, i get a message from a workmate that she is calling for me and neither of us know who she is because there is no case info. It finally dawns on me who it is. The other agent determines she should speak to tech first and sends her there.
Today I get her in my inbox randomly assigned to me.
I have one last final exam today..The law on obligations and contracts..Damn I wish the gods from olympus would help me. The coverage is the whole book..How am I going to memorize all those articles??
I don't actually watch the show, but I drool over the main character whenever he happens across the screen. Is it any good?
It's good if you were a fan of Dogma. I can't say much more, because I spend the majority of each episode ogling.
Meanwhile, I'm sort of shocked. A man we both find attractive? How freaking unlikely. I have developed a full on crush for Bret Harrison. Part of it is that he has a lot of facial features in common with Josh and they make a lot of the same facial expressions, but aside from that he is just a totally adorable guy.

To everyone who doesn't really remember their SAT's, that is the equivalent to someone getting an 89 and having their friend get a 90. Jerk. It probably came from the 1 point you beat me by on the essay.
Good luck Dave. I really hope that you win and make Top 8. it's okay though, because now you play the scrubs. Just kidding.
In other news, I think I may have broken my toe. Well its not broken, just badly bruised. I was playing soccer with my brother, and I lost my balance and drove my foot straight into the ground. Yeah that hurt a bit.

My AIM is Satriani744 (shocker, right?;))
It's a great way to get in touch with me for trades, or just chattin'. Just don't stalk me please.
well considering the overall power of my deck nad the fact my opponent topdecked 4 of the best card in a certain color in a row in game 3, i think my chances are fine.
Another job fair today, this time at Best Buy. I think I did well. Funny story:
Job Fair was from 1 pm to 5pm. I got there at 3, told them my Social (I had submitted my application electronically, as was required, and they needed it to pull the app. up), and sat down. Talked to a few guys for five minutes or so, where I was told they had been waiting a while. I said that I would go and check out Guitar Hero, but I knew my name would be called while I was away. Not five seconds after these words exit my lips and I'm already called up. I go with two women to have my interview.
A short aside here, put in spoilers because I'm actually quite embarrassed about this.
One of the women was wearing what I can only assume was a tube top underneath a black jacket. I'm sure you know the style. They were 'double teaming' me to get the interview done faster, though I assume it was because they wanted to watch my reactions while the other was writing. And, to my chagrin, I had suddenly noticed that the woman in the tube top was showing quite a bit of flesh. I caught myself staring, and started hoping like hell the second woman didn't notice. I'm known for not doing this, so the fact that I did...
The interview was relatively painless. I exited and sat down again, as requested. The guys next to me told me they had been waiting an hour and a half already. I thought they had already gone in to the interview and were waiting, like the interviewers would take us all in for a final bit. But apparently not. They called me up, told me they'd call me with good or bad news within a few days, and sent me home.
Mind, I was wearing a light blue button up shirt and as close to khaki's as I actually have; well-fitting tan pants that, surprisingly, have no cargo pockets, just one zipper pocket on the right leg. My shirt was tucked in, I was recently (within about the last two hours, I had things I had to do before I went in) showered, hair brushed, teeth brushed, shaved, and had a belt on. The whole deal. These guys were in ripped jeans and t-shirts that looked slightly stained.
In any case, I think the interview went well. Dropped an application off at both Gamestop and Barnes and Noble. Here's hoping one of those two calls me first, since I'd rather go there than Starbucks or Best Buy. Still, all the choices are good ones.
I have one last final exam today..The law on obligations and contracts..Damn I wish the gods from olympus would help me. The coverage is the whole book..How am I going to memorize all those articles??
See ya guys later!
wow that sounds really tough and i hope you will do well. Goodluck my friend and I wish you well as always.
Well I just got back from a 8 hour shift like 2 hours ago. I am currently relaxing and thinking about playing ff12 I should prepare for hydro(gaurds the gate of pharos) he is one insane boss though. I almost beat him though but I am going to definetly focus on preparing for hydro and all of the other upcoming bosses in ff12. Ill talk to you all soon though and have a good night everyone.
@Nai: best buy, starbucks, B&N, and gamestop? That would be sweet if you were able to pull one of those...
in other news, Omna and I are on the same lorwyn draft team! We will represent the coffeelings with our best efforts!

Hey Jun hope it goes well for you... i dont know why but i never had a problem with law... even if you dont remember everything perfectly... as long as you know the general idea and have a smart mouth you can pull it off (at least thats what i did whenever i had subjects like law, ethics, and psych and i passed those subjects with A- or A equivalents :p)
edit: by the way what do you need me to cast? lightning bolt? chain lightning? static field? i already casted my lvl6 a while ago so its in cooldown (dota humor)
