Flickr Update
I have lots of new pictures on my Flickr Page.
War Eagle Flickr
Here is a sample:
I am off work today and tomorrow. Today, I spent with Molly. She has taught herself a new trick. She can open the lower kitchen cabinets. :-(
She can somehow push it open with her front paw and her nose. I watched her do it and still not sure what she did.
Also, I watched "Live Free and Die Hard" on DVD. Its ok. Not the worst of the series but, not near as good as the original. 7/10
Work has gotten a little better. Still really busy but, a little less stressful.
Thats it for now. Laters.
P.S. To all u daily and weekly bloggers, I don't know how u do it. I'm luck if I can think of something interesting to talk about once or twice a month.

Long time no update
Well, as usual I haven't posted in a long time. It usually takes someone commenting to motivate me. Thanks Donna.
I have been working my ass off at work. We have been really busy at work with the holidays coming. We have "new" photo development equipment that is a total pain. It is broken at the moment and we have orders piling up all over. And when u add to that all the bitching shoppers and tired co-workers, it been a rather unpleasant place lately. One of the managers even Hates Christmas.
As to other things, I haven't really done much. I have been playing Sims 2 again a lot. I have gotten tired of Pirates online already. I am thinking of canceling my subscription. There is too much repetitiveness with it. Most of the quests are to kill the same easy mobs over and over again and at the the level my character is most of them are one hit kills. I am even thinking about going to back to WoW. Man, I must be bored with it. I am still looking forward to SPORE but, It has been pushed back to March now.
As to new stuff, I am think about joining a gym. I need to find a way to unwind after work and a few people have recommended working out. There is a 24/7 one a few miles from home.
I haven't read that book yet that I talked about in Oct. I just can't motive myself to do it with all the other things going on.
On TV, I have been watching Survivor, Pushing Daisies (new one tomorrow night) and Kid Nation(last episode tomorrow). I have given up on Heroes and Journeyman. Not because they aren't good but, do to lack of time. I may catch up this summer or with a DVD release. I will probably watch LOST when it starts in Jan.
I haven't seen any of the new movies. I want to see Enchanted and the Golden Compass but, the stupid time thing again.
I spent my last time off getting work done on my car and getting new shoes for work. I haven't even done my Christmas shopping yet :-(
Well, thats about it. "I'm spent. Its quiting time." Christian Slater in Pump Up the Volume (If u haven't seen it rent it!!)

New Book to Read and TV
Going to try to read "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. It was recommended by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings a while back. Someone else recommended it also but, I can't remember whom. As usually, it will probably be a long time before I finish it. It takes a really good novel to keep me interested. The last one was "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". That one I read in 2 days. I couldn't put it down.
I saw Reaper for the first time last night. I TIVOed it. I thought it was pretty funny and entertaining. Very Kevin Smith... Not sure if a non-Smith fan would like it. He is one of the directors and from some of the dialog it sounds like he is also involved in the writing.

Spore Video
I had to share this. This is a video of demo of the creature creation from the upcoming game SPORE. What makes it great is that Robin Williams, the comedian, is doing the talk.
Enjoy...

Blog changes and life update
I have made a few changes around here. I have cleaned up the links. I have removed some of the ones that are no longer blogging and some of the ones I am no longer interested in.
Sadly, Trinity and Claire are among those. :-(
I no longer play World of Warcraft so, that has left as well. I have gotten bored with it and I have canceled my subscription for good this time, I think. I have started playing Elder Scrolls : Oblivion. Its pretty fun so far.
I am looking forward to SPORE. It looks amazing if u haven't heard about it.
Also, Pirates of the Caribbean Online looks interesting. Its still in beta testing but, it looks good.
On to other things... Molly the puggle's 1st birthday was last week. My dad had a party for her. It was fun until the doggie ice cream came out. Molly got a little selfish and started to growl and snap at anyone that came near her ice cream and she started taking it from others. It was kinda embarrassing. My dad gave her a time out and she was ok once all the food went away. I will put some pictures up later on when I get around to editing them.
I saw Transformers last week. Very good movie. I was very impressed. I had been a fan of the cartoon as a kid and wasn't expecting much of a live action movie based on it. 8/10
Fall TV watching.
New shows that I like:
Pushing Daises (love it. most original show i have seen in years.)
Kid Nation (Ok reality show. It has its moments.)
Journeyman (kinda similar to "Quantum Leap" )
Old favorites:
Heroes(Katie Bell is great as shocker girl as is Copy Cat, Mikka's cousin. They are both great new characters.)
Law and Order SVU
Survivor
C.S.I (This show has lost it a little but, I still TIVO it.)
Well, thats about it. Later days.
P.S. Theres the post u asked for Sean. Sorry it took so long for me to get around to it.

Lunar Eclipse
Last night's Lunar Eclipse was beautiful. The moon turned a blood orange color. I tried to take a couple of pictures but, my camera not good enough, but anyway...(I love my camera BTW)
I posted on Flickr a couple of shots of our night blooming cactus.

There are so many simple surprise that show up from living in the desert.
My parents and Molly are on vacation. I miss them especially Molly. Its so weird how such a little creature can change ur life.
I watched "the last mimzy" a couple of days ago. It is ok, not great. I am glad I didn't go see it when it was in the theatres. 3/5
Laters,
