Cindy and Kenny dropped off Ashleigh last weekend. I cooked burgers and hot dogs for everyone. They stayed at the house for a few hours. We took the kids to the park after Cindy left. We went to the Carbon County Fair on Saturday afternoon but when we got there it was closed. The fair didn't open until 3, pretty odd. We decided to go the movies and saw Aliens in the Attic. It was actually a funny movie and we all enjoyed it. Came home and hung out for a little while and then went to the fair. The kids had a good time there. Holly was lucky on the mouse game and won each of the kids a stuffed animal.

Saw Marco for the first time in years. I called my house randomly last weekend and he was there. He went to the hockey games on Sunday and then we went to Ruby Tuesdays. We got there at 9:10 and it closed at 10. I had a chicken fresca dish that was good. We wound up bullshitting in the parking lot until 1am. Mostly about hockey and old stupid shit we had done.

I'm a college student now. I start next week with two night classes. I went for the business management course and have Business Law 1, Accounting, Business Manage and something I can't quite remember. Two of my books were over 200 dollars each. Fucking insane. I got into the ERO program so everything was free. I was hoping to extend my 12 free credits over two semesters but they had to be used during one semester. My two online classes don't start for another month and they're accelerated.

I started to play the Eve Online demo and decided to buy it. I was reading a forums and got in touch with someone that gave me 200 million ISK for using his referrel. He originally told me 150. It's a nice head start in the game and now I don't have to grind to get decent ships. The day after I paid the full 20 for it I noticed Steam had it discounted to 5.00. Bad timing but the head start in the game was worth it. I have 51 days of gametime before I have to start paying. I'm hoping to refer someone or learn how to make enough isk before that point to buy plex.

I'm downloading LOTRO to try out. It's a welcome back week for previous players and I'm going to give it a whirl just to see it. I got into the Fallen Earth Beta and like the game. I'd most likely be playing it if I didn't have the other games to play.

I was going to give up on Warcraft when this currenty subscription ran out (27th) but playing the last few days made me want to wait. The guild started Ulduar over again 2 times after we had a lockout available and I signed up for a few of these nights and regretted it. I didn't have any fun at all. But with us attempting Yogg soon and The Faction Champions, I can see myself enjoying it more. Fell asleep while raiding working on the Faction Champions the other night. I've run the daily heroics when they were short and actually had fun running AN today for the achievements. The pally in my guild also said he try out arena with me so it's another reason to play.

Been really tired lately. Started running on the treadmill. Had some nice strong days and had some shitty days as well. There's a Lehigh Valley half marathon but it's too close to be properly trained for. There's also a full marathon in Scranton but again, the timing isn't right. I went on the treadmill today and died after half a mile. Don't know if it's because I didn't eat or what but it was aggravating.


We lost our hockey 'playoff' game. I really don't get too pissed off about close goals but there was one goal where our goalie had it and the guy pushed the goalie into the goal. I was right behind the net when it happened and argued to no avail. It was the guy who wears a polo shirt. He must've said something to the goalie when we were shaking hands because the goalie went after him. For some reason the white team beat the blue team and we got to play the blue team on Sunday. The game was getting rough. I knew I was going to play dirty on the fat guy and he took me down along the boards. I gave him a backhand to the face. The other fat guy was getting pissed at Kenny and went after him. We won the game


Got Jeremy a Slip and Slide and he used it for the first time today. He had a good time playing with it.
