News I Obsess Over
by Ryan on Aug.28, 2007, under Funny
Starcraft II
I cannot wait for Starcraft II. My dominance in that game was near absolute for 3v3 unl resource games. The new game looks like it’s going to be as balanced and wonderful as the original. Sweeeeed!!!
American Gladiators
I used to watch this show all the time. I’ve been talking about it a lot recently and Kat looked it up randomly… and low and behold. THEY’RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK SOON!!!! All those painful memories of watching meat heads absolutely trash contestants will be coming back. I’m looking forward to the Eliminator (although it has nothing on Ninja Warrior), Assault (the Nerf obstacle course… only harder…LOL), Joust, and my beloved Powerball…
BEST BLOG ENTRY
This is one of the best blog entries or posts I’ve seen in a loooong time. LMAO
Wrath of the Lich King
I haven’t even installed the first expansion yet and the second one is on it’s way… ::DROOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLS::… oh… sorry…
Quick Stories and/or News

1. So I’ve started playing World of Warcrack… I mean Warcraft… affectionately known as WOW. I thought watching anime was bad… it’s no comparison to this.
2. Over the last month our roommates have been pretty quiet and to themselves… Recently a new guy moved in upstairs. Maybe… what… last week sometime. Since he’s moved in there’ve been two parties upstairs that have lasted well into 1 or 2 AM. Loud… drunken… annoying…. yelling… screaming… parties. I think I even found beer on the car this morning! Further the driveway we had to ourselves… now his friends that stay here too… their cars block ours in. Here’s how I’m contemplating revenge:
- Start making similar sounds in the morning when Kat and I wake up… like 6 or 7 AM… when they’re trying to get some God damned sleep.
- Start parking at the end of the driveway so no one else can get in.
- Liberal use of bug killing spray in the general vicinity of where they park… and let’s be clear… when I say near… I mean on top of.
- Raw meat in their cars air intake…
- Never parking in the driveway again… but making it my new place to test out my carpentry skills… anything that has to do with nails “accidentally” dropping behind tires.
- Calling the police.
- Calling the landlord.
- Murder…
3. So yesterday Kat and I went to the art store and she bought a bunch of supplies. One of which was an electric pencil sharpener… and Exacto one… an expensive one… We get all the way home and open the bag and low and behold… NO FREAKING SHARPENER! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! We call… they close at 6:00 PM… It was like 8:00… So now I’m all furious and I go right into VZW Manager Ryan and start building my case in my head talking about… “Let me talk to your manager…” and “That’s unacceptable… Give me your business card and the name of the person who checked me out….” or “I’ll just call my credit card company and you won’t get paid for this…” and my favorite “What’s the name of your boss!!” or “I didn’t pay all this money so you could steal from me… we’re never shopping here again!!!”
I get there this morning right when they open and show them my receipt…
“Oh… this one… would you like a bag for that?”

… I really wanted to fight… =-(
4. The city employees of Vancouver are still striking. Both sides have political reasons for keeping the strike going and I’m sure the workers aren’t enjoying strike pay… but let’s get down to the dirty of it… I DON’T CARE!!!! COME PICK UP MY GARBAGE BITCHES!!! GEEEEEVUS!!!
Status Report…

So we’ve been here for a little under a month…
So far everything is great. School started for Kat already and will start for me in about 3 weeks. I can’t wait. Right now I kinda just sit at home and watch crazy YouTube things or my new obsession… uTorrent and downloading of anime… I watched all 136 episodes of Bleach… that’s 68 hours of anime… in about… 6 days… that’s including download time…
Vancouver is nice and we’ve finally finished unpacking and are starting to branch out as far as places we go. We’re confidently getting to school and back without getting lost. Same goes for the mall. It’s a nice city with spectacular views. There’s lots of interesting things I’d like to eventually do like the suspension bridge nearby, Victoria, Whistler, maybe salmon spawning watching, restaurants, downtown exploration, etc etc. We do have a year here and have yet to start real school so I expect more things to happen as we get to know people and such.
So far we’ve been able to provide food for ourselves (ok ok… kat cooks and I eat…). We’re looking for good and easy recipes if anyone has any.
BTW… The city of Regina… I see that and think… oh look… Re-Gina… here it’s pronounced and rhymes with vagina
Keep me updated on lives everyone. And for god’s sake. Comment a little.
I forgot how much I love these…

I’m in the second week of school and so far it’s been a blast! Regarding my previous post, it wasn’t as bad as I worried it to be. They did do the whole, “Hi my name is blah blah blah”, however it wasn’t as nerve wrecking as I thought it would be. It was short and simple. There are people from all over the world taking classes here which is pretty cool.
