New Year’s Resolutions

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, and I’ve decided it was time I spruced up the place a bit and start posting again.

I sort of went on a mini-rant to Regan and Whitney earlier today about how New Year’s Resolutions don’t count until unless they are presented in a bullet pointed list, here are my New Year’s resolutions, in no particular order:

  • Publish at least 52 posts this year and attempt to participate in this year’s NaBloPoMo (that is if they have it again).

    I pretty sure I can do the first part but the second part may be bit ambitious. But I figured I would at least attempt it.

  • Go on a diet, get buffed, and take fencing lessons.

    After my plan of beating my brother senseless with a foam sword back fired on me, I figured it was time that I get in shape. I need the fencing lessons because my punk brother works construction and I have a desk job; there is no way I will be able to get stronger than him. Hopefully better swordsmanship will be able to defeat his berzerker rage.

  • Acquire a Wii.

    I missed out on acquiring this past Christmas. It was my fault that I didn’t get one. Initially I thought I would build up some serious good karma by letting all the little kids that wanted one for Christmas get one before I did. What, surprised by my selfless act? Don’t worry it didn’t last long, my stance on the matter changed as soon as I played one. I think my exact statement was, “Screw the kids! I have to have one!” Plus the more I thought about it, it wasn’t me that would prevent some kid from getting one, it is those damn eBayers. All I had to do then was not buy one from eBay and I would not incur any bad karma. Since then I’ve been hunting for a Wii.

  • Sort my Warlord collection

    It’s gotten out of control.

  • Start cooking again

    Google has totally spoiled me when it comes to food. Since I’ve started working there I haven’t really been motivated to cook my own meals. Why would I when I have chefs that are better cooks than me, cooking three meals a day? But it turns out, I don’t actually eat three meals a day at Google. And the money that I thought I was saving was actually being spent on dining out at night and on the week-ends.

  • Take more pictures

    Regan has taken control over all the camera’s in the house, which has led me to take less pictures in 2006. Not this year!

  • Turn off the bathroom light

    Warning, this was put on my list by Regan and I might not get it accomplished;-) The fan in the bathroom comes on when you turn on the light. For some reason, that little fan is the only thing that can wake her up from her coma like sleep.

where is jparks anyway?

If you’re a reader of Jason’s blog you should feel very unloved. He doesn’t even care enough about you or his blog to tell everyone that he’s at a Gamer’s Convention this week.

I would say let the nerd jokes start, but it might be too easy for everyone. Jokes are always better when it’s a challenge to make them. Things that are easy are boring. Insert a “your mom” joke here.

Warlord

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Warlord CCG. The game is moving into its second reset, Epic Edition, and it looking better than ever. If you love D&D you should check this game out.

I’ve personally been playing since the beginning of 2002 and love it! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play in a while because my regular gaming group was disbanded when the storm spread us out across the country. Hopefully I will be able to revive Warlord in the Bay Area when we move back out there.

Where’s jparks?

Off to Oklahoma City to play some Warlord.

Update

Monday, September 12th, 2005

It’s been almost a week since my last post. Here’s a recap of the events in no particular order:

  • Regan started school UT today. I am driving her to school every morning, 9 am class on MWF and 8 am class on TTh, because a parking pass is $500 a semester. That price increase from $50 to $75 a semester at UNO doesn’t look so bad now does it;-)
  • Apparently my joke about not sleeping on anything other than 800 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets was lost on Regan. She seemed to have taken me seriously and quested for the perfect sheets for the “Prince”. I am now the proud owner of a set of 300 count Egyptian Cotton Sateen sheets.
  • I learned that you should pay more attention when people , especially your fiancée, are talking to you. And at the same time I also learned that “whatever” is not an appropriate response when someone, especially your fiancée, says that they love you.
  • I was unpacking my clothes last night and as I was hanging them I realized that most of my t-shirts consists of AEG t-shirts.
