A friend from work loaned me a great book to read. It's called Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It was written by Christopher Moore. Wow!! This is a really great book. It is completely tongue-in-cheek comedy. So please don't be offended by any of it if you are a hardcore christian. It is set in modern times. Supposedly, God has decided that a new Gospel was to be written. So he sent forth an angel to resurrect Christ's childhood friend Biff. This book chronicles Biff writing the Gospel and of the Gospel itself. If you like Doulglas Adams, John Dechancie, Robert Aspirin and any author of that ilk, then you will definitely love this book. Be prepared to laugh your ass off. Christopher Moore is a wonderful author. He recently wrote a book called "You Suck!" Its a sequel to "Blood Sucking Fiends". If you haven't read anything by him, I suggest you run out to the local book store and pick something up by him!

I just stumbled across a little game called OfficeDebo yesterday. It is a browser based game. You can do things like fish in the company water fountain, compete in chair races, attack other office workers, join a union and a ton of other crazy things. It is a really interesting way to waste some time. LOL

I wouldn't believe someone could be this stupid until this happened at work. One of the front desk girls came over into my office to ask for my help. She said that something was wrong with her scanner. I went to her desk and noticed that it wasn't on. I pushed the on button and it wouldn't come on. The cord in the back was firmly in place. So I did the next logical thing. I made sure it was plugged into the wall socket. It of course wasn't. I told her it wasn't plugged in and that is why it wouldn't work. Her response was "How would I know it wouldn't work if it wasn't plugged in?" My response was "Well, does you TV work if it isn't plugged in?" The other girl at the front desk was laughing her ass off at this point. It was completely hysterical!!

So I feel like crap again today. I can barely breath. Caroll was after me to get a chext x-ray the other day. I couldn't be bothered. Now I wish I had. Oh well. Too late now. I stayed home yesterday and today. Hopefully, I will feel better by Monday. Last night Zorah told us in guild chat that the new expansion is called Rise of Kunark. I did a little checking around. I found the same thing mentioned on Warcry. Anyway, after a quick search of the US Patent & Trademark website, I can say that yes, SOE has trademarked the name. They have not announced when the expansion will be yet though.

Well I finally realized why it seems like everyone around me is arguing. Those of us who are sensitive to the energies of the planets are having to deal with mercury in retrograde. When mercury goes retro, it causes a breakdown in communications. At the moment, mercury is retro in pisces. Here is some info from Astrology on the Net . Mercury retro in Pisces, the sign of his fall, creates mental and emotional confusion, with strange dreams and sometimes psychic experiences. Mental processes being entwined with emotions, we find it hard to separate ideas and opinions from passion and idealism. Our mental orientation can be unstable, unrealistic and overly-spiritual, but it also inclines to laziness and increases the urge to consume alcohol. Nervousness and stress, even unfounded fears and paranoia are stimulated, especially from working or living in a hostile environment. Maintain privacy and dignity in the working environment and don't try to read between the lines, when there i

Well, I got an invite to play a game called Dungeon Runners . It is a strange little game published by NCSoft. The names of items and descriptions of traits are off the wall. The game play is pretty basic. I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but I am probably going to play it for a while to check it out. At this point in time, you can only play it by getting an invite directly from NCSoft or from someone already in game. There are two ways you can play. You can play for free or get a $5 per month membership. By having the membership, you have access to the bank, you can use elite items, etc. The highest level is 100. It will take forever to get there. Downside is you can only play a human and there are only 3 classes. I am hoping as the game is developed more, that they will bring out more classes.

Well, I found out from my sister that we are moving to Kernersville, NC. I started doing some research on the area. I need to at least have certain things in the area for me to feel comfortable. I am so glad to see that there are two UUs in the area within driving distance. Only one of them has CUUPs though. The meetings are held once a month too. Oh well!! At least I can get back into that. I also found a metaphysical shop named Eclectic By Nature that I want to visit. There are pictures of it on the web. It looks like a cute store. It sort of reminds me of Magickal Forest. Unfortunately, there is no Eileen there! Who knows, maybe the owners are just as nice. I also found this historical house right in the town that I am going to be living in. It looks so nice. They give tours daily. I want to go. Its called Kurners Folly. (or however its spelled). I am starting to look forward to the move. I basically don't have anything left here. So I can start new ther
