Also, has anyone read the Twilight series? I just recently finished it, and I actually liked it quite a lot.
I actually read the first book, and it wasn't bad at all honestly.. but its NOT a series I would go so far as to buy.. if I got lent the books (as I did the first one), I will read it. I will say this, it was a good, fast, fun read... but its not remotely close to literature in the sense of the word. A friend of mine put it quite nicely.. "Its a good beach read".
Actually, I don't see any kind of fanatic following to Twilight other than the thousands of teenage girls. Which I am not one of. I just really enjoyed it
I finished the 4 books (about 2500 pages) in about 5 days.
Impressive.. and yeah, it can be gripping.. I do want to read the others, but since its only mildly fluff reading for me, I am fine with waiting until I can mooch the books off somebody..
Oh btw, the clan [Pages] would be a great place to talk about this, if you want to, further
Someone told me they bought Fable 2 today. But I don't know the guy well enough to invite myself to his room! *sobs*
I miss having money. I need to get to work finding a job soon.
Yeah, Brad's brother Brian bought the game, and I was over at their apartment today, watching Brian play the game and it looks fascinating.. I wouldn't mind playing it myself! Do you know if you have to play the first in order to understand the second?
And SO TRUE to the second comment.. seriously. I need to find a job so badly. I, once again, only have 3 days of work this coming week.. Its annoying. What's more annoying is Brad and I work opposite shifts this week... I work Thursday-Saturday and he works Sunday-Tuesday, then I work Wednesday-Friday.. lol. I think I have some ideas on leads, I'm gonna work on them tomorrow, I think.
I rented Fable, unable to pay for the game. It's amazing so far. I can't wait to REALLY get into it.
Yeah it definitely looked promising... I feel kind of awkward asking Brian if I can play it tho, not sure I know him well enough yet.. That, plus I'll probably make a fool of myself as I've never played the X-box 360 before lol.
Hope everyone's doin' well.. I just started playing WoW so I'm excited I get a free month worth.. should be fun.. and hopefully i'll have a new job by the point in which I need to pay for it.
Brad has 3 job interviews this week, I'm jazzed for him- he has 2 tomorrow, and another one on Thursday.. Seeing how many interviews he's got lined up make me really want to get back into looking for a job and stuff..

You don't have to at all. There are a few references to the original's story, but I haven't seen any that mattered. And while the controls are fairly similar the the original (but improved in a few key ways) they still explain how everything works fairly well.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Though I usually don't play Legacy, I did test out your deck, Cecilia. I must say, it's quite fun to destroy your opponent's carefully wrought plans with a single spell Overall, I went 3-3 with it in some casual legacy matches. Only problem I faced was when someone actually beat me twice with an astral slide-ish deck -_-;
*facepalm* I'm not going to say anything here, Alacar.
Also, has anyone read the Twilight series? I just recently finished it, and I actually liked it quite a lot.
Haha nice glad I got someone a bit interested in the legacy format that hasn't played previously. LOL, yeah I think any deck with 24+ lands could kick my UGB tempo thrash butt. Like aggro loam or some sort of 4 color intuition loam deck with like 36 lands. Also 3-3 is not too shabby for someone that doesn't play legacy regularly.
I don't think I have seen the Twlight series I should check it out though. Also piccolo is not green in the Dragon ball Z movie what is this world coming to? Of course maybe Piccolo has a power level of "over nine thousand!!" this time so that MIGHT make up for the lack of greeness.
Thanks, Cecilia! AND you voted for McCain. If I could vote, I totally would. Actually, I pretty much have two-one vote because I just manipulate my parents. I've convinced my mother not to vote for Obama, and I've pretty much convinced my dad to vote for McCain.
Congrats to Alacar for the 1000th post!! for you, sir!!
As for me, I'm trying to find a picture of Karen Allen in the outfit she was wearing in the bar scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark since i want to go as her for Halloween.....

Muahaha....
We're still waiting here in California...
No problem.
Also you were playing just casually for legacy and 3-3 is actually decent considering you could face ANYTHING because I am pretty sure even a deck like UGB Reanimator could kick my UGB Thrash deck to the curb. Goblins also seems like a pretty bad matchup for my deck as well.
Piccolo's not green in the DBZ movie?? O_o; What the heck is that all about.
Well... wish me luck tomorrow, coffeebeans. My court date is tomorrow morning. Let's hope it's quick, painless, and not too expensive.
Yeah I know thats what i said. O_O
Goodluck and lets hope you don't get picked like me because I didn't get pick and I went there like twice.
My day overall was alright I had to work from 4pm to 10pm though so it was kinda long but overall not that bad as I thought it would've been which I suppose is a good thing.
Hey guys--I'm off to court soon. *Sigh* here's lookin' at you, kid.
edit: I'm back.. Well, I decided to just pay the ticket price. $138. I figured it was better to pay it than to argue in court, lose, and pay it AND the court costs.
Much thanks to Sapphire Tri for helping me generate the money I needed.

Well that was nice of mike to do so.
I wish for you to have a good day Alacar.
Anyway I just got up like 15 minutes ago probably going to eat some fruit before heading out for work. I won't be back later tonight though I will be hanging out with a friend and spending the night at his place.
@ Sandsoft_blue: If you have magic workstation maybe you could participate in the legacy tournament that's online with my deck. Sign ups happen on October 25th or 26th I believe. I think you could do well.
Okay time to take off soon have a good day everyone.
Have a good one, Kevin, and thanks a bunch. I need a good day.
Today I'm gonna apply for work at Toys R Us, then watch Empire Strikes Back (again) for more card pictures.
I just woke up for a rather nice 3-hour nap. Waking up at 6am just to drive to city hall and pay a ticket that I could've paid at any time does that to ya.

Well, it could have been worst. And I do hope you have a good day :).
BTW, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off lately, and thats why I havent had time for our RPG.
But after a sleep, I will be ready later today, and I look forward to it :D.
Thanks Zaph. I just need to get my resume together. There's not much on there but hey
I'm off to classes, but I thought I'd like to tell all of ya that later tonight, at 1:30 AM CST on Saturday, the plane carrying my dad from Kuwait will touch down here
Wow the coffeehouse hasn't been that productive since yesterday. Probably everyone has been busy with real life things which is understandable and I am no different either.
Anyway I got to see the latest indiana jones movie and iron man today at my friend's house they were both really good movies. I enjoyed both of them.
Meh I have an 7am to 3:30pm shift tommorrow it shouldn't be that bad though hopefully. Anyway off to studying for me since I didn't do any last night. Have a good weekend everyone. Later all.
Of the four Indy movies, the fourth is the weakest, sadly.
Well folks, I'm off to go get my dad from the base. His plane lands in 3.5 hours and we're not sure when he'll be able to be de-briefed and leave, but hey

I'd put it above Raiders but below the other two, personally.

Seeya!
Cool :)......Your dad coming home must be enjoyable for you :).
As for me, my family goes out to eat, I come back and my internet is barely puttering >.>. So I called my internet provider and barked at them for a while and needless to say I got it back ^_^;.
I've been spending this week catching up on sleep and getting back on the right academic track. Coincidentally, though I was supposed to have two major papers due Monday, both were pushed back for various reasons; one was delayed until Thursday, and the other a full week.
It's really the only positive thing I've done in the past month or so. I'm still at a point where I'm just existing and surviving in stasis until I get a good break. I'm in fate's hands now. I finally know what it feels like to want to believe in a higher power.
Last night was a long one, alright. We had to show up on the base 2 hours early by parking in a designated lot and riding a bus over to the hangar where the plane would be landing at. The bus ride was nice (well-heated, with a DVD playing on some overhanging TVs), but the hangar was large and filling up with people. We sat around for nigh on 2 hours. Thank god I had my DS with me.
Anyway, soon as the plane is 15 minutes away we all go out to the runway and wait behind some fences to watch the plane land and the soldiers depart. We rush back in and get 15 minutes to spend with our soldier. Dad looked great
After that we were all dismissed back to the buses, not after being given a speech about how your soldier has changed and how things are gonna be different. Yeah right! He wasn't any different at all.
Anywho, a nice bus ride back to the car and we drive to the dining facility lot to wait for dad to turn in his weapon, check his bags, and get de-briefed. Then we find out one person's bag has been misplaced. That means everyone's on lockdown and forced to stand around and wait. We waited for something like 3 hours, half of it in the dining facility, increasingly bored and tired.
Finally we get to go; we drive to Waffle House, because by now it's 6 in the morning, and have some breakfast. I had a waffle. I wasn't too hungry. We drop my sister off at her place and then arrive home just before the sun came up. That's when I posted.
Whew. And now today is my brother-in-law's cookout/birthday party for his birthday next week. And I just now woke up, half an hour before it starts. Oye.
just checking in with the coffeepeoples here :). I saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull over the summer at the drive in, it was paired with Kung Fu Panda. Both were decent movies, and I thought I walked away having gotten my money's worth.

DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
I miss having money. I need to get to work finding a job soon.
My helpdesk should you need me.
I actually read the first book, and it wasn't bad at all honestly.. but its NOT a series I would go so far as to buy.. if I got lent the books (as I did the first one), I will read it. I will say this, it was a good, fast, fun read... but its not remotely close to literature in the sense of the word. A friend of mine put it quite nicely.. "Its a good beach read".
Impressive.. and yeah, it can be gripping.. I do want to read the others, but since its only mildly fluff reading for me, I am fine with waiting until I can mooch the books off somebody..

No I mean my list looks like this:

4. Raiders
I personally think Temple of Doom is the best.
