I forgot to post about this past weekend, so I will do so now, late.

On Saturday, I went up to Round Rock for lunch with the family (Olivia came to drop off the dogs before her trip to Asia). Then, I accompanied Nancy to Houston who picked up Viraj to go to a baby shower. I opted to stay at Viraj’s apartment with the thought of “oh, it’ll only be two or three hours” (said Nancy). They left at about 5something and I was under the impression it started at around 6ish, so come around 9:30ish, Viraj calls and tells me they’re about to cut cake then they’ll leave soon. Okay, I think, I’m hungry, but not too bad, so I can wait a bit longer. At almost 11:30, Viraj calls me again and says they’ll be back in 15 minutes. In like… 45 minutes after that, they rescue me from hunger.

I don’t remember what I did on Sunday… I think I saw Extract which was meh.

On Monday, I went to Salt Lick with Ryan, Al, Eduardo, and Elyse. That’s the first time I actually did their all you can eat thing. It took a long time for us to actually get food (like 1.5-2 hours), so I was hungry again. =( But! It was pretty good food.

SLURM!

Sometimes I get in the mood of watching a sad movie or something to make myself feel. Maybe it’s due to living in a fast-paced world, sometimes I want to just chill for a bit and take in life and have some deeper emotions that a rushed one doesn’t allow. I’m glad I do have the luxury to do that, but I find it interesting being introspective and thinking about all the various aspects of myself that need to “recharge” every so often. I like having time to just take in life and how things are going because even though some things aren’t perfect, some things are really frustrating, or some things just aren’t going the way I’d want, life is pretty good overall and I’ve been blessed with more than I deserve.

If someone calls me emo, I will shoot them.

“You part the shadows,
Light of the World.
Destroy the blindness
Peace Eternal.

Take this broken heart,
if it brings You praise,
Take this beaten soul,
shivering hands I will raise.” - Brave Saint Saturn

I’ve always been immensely amused at how horrendous the lyrics are to Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. Well, Chad played the Mandarin version tonight (I’ve probably heard it before, just didn’t realize it) and I found out that there are a ton of different versions of it in different languages. That’s so horrific it’s awesome.

Now that your brain is blown away in English, bask in the glory of Girlfriend in:

• Spanish


• Mandarin


• French


• Japanese


• German


• Portuguese


• Italian

“Hey hey you you
我不喜欢你女朋友 [wǒ bù xǐ huān nǐ nǚ péng yǒu]
No way no way
你需要一个新的 [nǐ xū yào yī gè xīn de]

…

Because…

She’s like so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that’s what everyone’s talking about” -Avril Lavigne

This weekend, Blythe and Ryan had their Zelda playing party at my place where they beat the first one. We also watched some Firefly, ate some Indian food, and I watched some 21 (which wasn’t very good, but I watched it anyways). After that, other people showed up at my place and hung out til the wee hours of the night.

Not much else happened other than that… pretty uneventful weekend, I suppose. On to a probably hectic week! Woo!

I’ve had this discussion with a couple friends before, and although perhaps a bit disturbing, it’s a fun thought. The basic premise is “if you’re really old, like 105, and you’re about to die, how would you take yourself out?” I believe Viraj’s answer was he wanted to rent a Lamborghini and drive off a cliff at like 100something MPH. Mine? I want to blow up on top of the Round Rock round rock, taking it out with me. I find it immensely humorous to become infamous by taking out a small town landmark/namesake. Anyways, it’s just a make-believe scenario… please don’t have me arrested. =p

Came home from work today to find Oriana watching Stardust at my place. Mom came and picked her up, but I went ahead and finished watching it. I’ve seen it before, but there’s something about it that makes me enjoy it quite a bit. I think it’s probably something to do with slightly overly chipper girls… they get to me, I suppose. =p Although the downside to that is that I know it’s fake… there’s no such thing as overly chipper girls. =( Haha… ;) How cool would it be to have a girl that could blow up witches by supernovaing though (without blowing themselves up, of course)?

Oliver Bobblehead!!!

My business development team awarded me this bobblehead. It’s pretty cool, but kind of creepy too. Woo!

I don’t really remember what I did this past weekend, so it’s now known as the forgotten one. Here’s what I think happened…

• Did some misc web stuff and migrated some more sites over to my slice on Slicehost


• Setup Google Apps with some owiber.com subdomains


• Played some WoW - leveling up my gnome rogue again on Illidan


• Went to dinner with Chad, Nancy, and Sam at Texas Roadhouse


• Did not go running as planned


• ???


• Profit?

Oh yes, I remember something eventful now… UT apparently had a pretty large mishap with my [email protected] email address. I sent them an email but have yet to receive a reply, so I will likely give them a call tomorrow. If the call goes unsatisfactory, I’m sure I will supply more detail here.

I did a lot of bumming around and playing WoW this weekend. I started leveling up my gnome rogue on Illidan, Powderpuff, again… went from 55 to 57. Then, I did a few other random WoW stuff. On Saturday, met up with some of the BV folk to wish farewell to Rebecca as she heads off to our UK office, then I went to see District 9 at the South Lamar Drafthouse. I found it pretty enjoyable though I wish the climax would have been a bit more exhilarating.

I stayed up pretty late on Saturday starting the migration of Owiber.com from Dreamhost to a slice at Slicehost. If you’re reading this, all went well. =) I’m waiting for the NS changes to propagate still, but alas, 1and1 is terrible and it takes forever, so I’m transferring away from them. In the mean time, I’ve created A records at Dreamhost to point to my slice’s IP. Next up, OliverWEB and a few other misc sites…

Sunday was a good deal of bumming too, but I biked over to Chancy’s place and had dinner with them and Chad’s family. Now, I am going to drink a coke. Tata!

If this is true, then gnomes will be getting their first healing class and that means we’re going back to the Alliance and <Gnome on Gnome on Gnome> shall live again! Oh how I miss Powderpuff and the desire to be healed by my own kind… sure, lifeblooms and earth shields are great and all, but they won’t compare to the awesomeness of being PW:Shielded by a gnome priest.
