Yeah, surprise surprise I was #78 on the (yes I know it's old news) fotokon thingamajig. I haven't posted for a while because of workload at work, and the dedicated time to play WoW. The first picture was at Edmonton Mall at some comic book guy store that had tons of cardboard cutouts of characters from different movies. The second was in Banff in an icecream store that had cows all over the place.

For some historical +informative stuff... Terry Fox started his famous run today. I remember in school we had to run laps around the school, and I hated it. Never understood why, just had to run and what really made me angry was that we also had to ask everyone for money to run. Lose lose situation I thought. Wikipedia has a great write-up on him. (go winnipeg).

Anyone here watching Smallville? I'm at episode 10 and wow what a season. That blink/teleporter girl was kinda hot, and now that *SPOILER LOOK AWAY NOW*





Chloe knows Clark is a freak.... what's going to happen??? I really like the Lois Lane character and the chemistry between Clark and Lois is great :).

Anyone else wanna play with these? Like come on... Jesus is not going to be a caucasian with blue eyes. Oh well...back to work...

One of the only nights I actually have a couple of hours to waste away ... the serverS (yes the 3 servers I play on) had to be down :(. Meh whine whine whine... omg i'm addicted.

For those that play here are my chars:

Alleria - Human Priest Level 53 'Shabbas'
Thunderhorn - Tauren Shaman Level 37 'Shabbas'
Laughing Skull - Undead Priest Level 29 'Shirlexi', Undead Mage Level 21 'Shabbas', Orc Shaman Level 10 'Sparkies'

Ah... so what to do... well stoolpigeon had a great link for this purepwnage movie that featured some guy discovering WoW. Funny if you play the same char as the guy but sad :/. Funny music video but I thought the movie took too long.

OH yeah our city is the host city for the Junos but not really interested in the media elite and the hoity toity attitudes they bring with them. The GF and I are thinking of heading over to the states to do some cross border shopping. (Can't get Cherry 7up, Cheese in a Can, Combos or other unhealthy snacks here in Canada :) ).

Went to see Sarah Slean yesterday at the West End Cultural Centre (scored free tickets from GF's work). First off, our West End Cultural Centre is the theatre for the more 'off-beat' / 'weirdo' stuff that's out there. It's a very good venue as the acoustics are great and the atmosphere (although very left-leaning in political culturish speaking terms) is very cozy. The special guests were interesting talent as well. Jeremy Fisher sang about 5 songs. His sound reminds me of home made bread fresh from the oven and his guitar work was dazzling. Jorane was very interesting but not something I'd be into. She plays cello and her sound was haunting and when playing the deeper base parts of her music I was reminded of oriental fight films. Can't really explain it, but she'd be good music for a movie like Kill Bill. Sarah Slean was an interesting pianist. Although she was trained classically, her posture was ackward and was interesting to watch. I don't remember any of the songs anymore but altogether was a great show. I heard the show tonight is sold out. Note: I think I saw Fred Penner at the theatre last night :).

Last weekend my cousin had his birthday celebrated at SpeedWorld. Much faster than regular go-kart and unfortunately for my first race my car wasn't up to speed, and the second time I put my neckbrace on too tight and had a hard time breathing the last two laps. The karts are fast and the track was well thought out (although would be nice if it was larger). If I were to continue go-karting here I would definitely need to invest in a new helmet. Anyone out there Go-kart?

After the Sarah Slean concert, the gf and I went to Vi-Ann vietnamese restaurant and had some dindin. It's been a while since we had Bubble Tea, but we ordered some and realized they updated their cups to 'flex'. Very good change. Previous to this 'flex' cup, they used a standard plastic cup which tended to crease and freeze the ice crystals together conjealing the drink experience. (Yes in Winnipeg, we love our bubble tea's cold and slushy unlike the rest of the world which drinks Bubble tea in a liquid format). Anyway I had the coconut and gf had the lychee. I still prefer the natural taste of young coconut but alas I had to settle for regular coconut but it tasted pretty good. The lychee flavoured one was too sweet for my taste. Anyone out there drink bubble tea the same way? :)

My foray into the airsoft world at XTreme Tactics has proven successful. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I may participate again.

To my delight I was able to use my paintball mask (JT Flex Crossfire) to the event, but I am worried that the repeat use of my mask may prove expensive in the lens-replacement area. I went with the Mp5 package which actually held less ammo than the M16, but being a submachine gun was easier to grip and hold. I think if possible, I am going to rent a handgun as the place was mostly close counter/urban environment and shooting a rifle was harder around corners and such.

We were outfitted with a vest (curiously with an open face chest area), mask (which I did not use due to my JT X-fire), holster and helmet. My team was tan coloured, and the other was blue. The briefing, expertly and humourously handled by one of the owners Gordon (sp) was one of the better briefings I have had to experience. quotes: "We give you 4 mags. We expect 4 mags back. If you don't come back with 4 mags, we shoot you in the neck. Then we get you to look for it. Then we shoot you in the neck again."All this time, most of us had our eyes fixated at the long sniper rifle that he had told us shot at double (probably an exaggeration) the FPS of our guns.

Thank you kormoc for the links, and someone was actually using a P90 (he said he spent like $800 or something). The store owners (only in operation for less than 5 months) already have the GC32 or something or another which looks like a the newer army issue stuff.

and cannot type, I thought I should at least document my adventure in Airsoft play.

This Sunday a group of people from work have decided to visit: Extreme Tactics. Not sure what weapon I will choose. The shotgun sounds interesting, but I'd rather snipe from far than take return fire (from an opposing shotgun). Way different from Paintball [which I'm used to and have played many times with my own custom built spyder]. I just have bad feeling I will be shot on my hand.

Anyone else out there ever play Airsoft?
