Absolutely ridiculous deal. Thanks so much to BaB. I got all the seasons for $17, PLUS when I did checkout I chose the faster shipping option, and it still applied the promotion of $8 off. I'm so happy.

Plus it actually shipped immediately. This is the fastest shipment I've ever gotten.

You probably wouldn't be interested anymore, but a complete SERIES set is slated for release later this year.

Hahaha, that's a lot of Batman. I didn't really watch anything but the first animated series. I was hesistant about buying volume four, which is the new batman adventures - I don't think I watched that much either.

A Team Fortress 2 update was just released, and Valve has fixed some very annoying things. Most importantly, the health bonus given by the back burner is gone!

That did piss me off, it gave the pyros what I felt was an annoying advantage. I need to play some TF2...maybe tomorrow. I hope they do a soldier, sniper or spy update soon.

Heavy update is next.

I would say soldier and demoman will be the last updates they do, since they need the less work. I would think that Spy would follow after Heavy, but they might do Spy/Engi at the same time, so that if the spy gets another method of taking down buildings or something, the Engi has a way to combat it.

I do feel like they should give the Pyro -something- back, though, because they're underpowered again. They need to expand the size of the back burners back-hit box. If you imagine a clock, right now the crits only work when you are directly behind the person, at 6-o'clock. I think they should expand it to be from 5 - 7, or at least 5:30 - 6:30.

It's like the guys at Valve decided to do the updates in the order of classes that I play as the least....

Seriously, I spend most of my time playing as a Solder, Sniper, Scout, Spy or Engineer. I'm not a big Pyro, Demo, Heavy, or Medic fan.....uggh.

I went to a James Taylor concert at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Sunday night... >_>

I have some awesome friends.
It's not often I say that because I am an egomaniac.
But work was bad as it usually is, but about an hour to go I get a txt message from a friend that is cheesy as hell but I still got a smile on my face.

Be Your Own Pet, a band out of Nashville that I loathe, announced that they are breaking up today. Yes!!! I normally try not to take too much pleasure in others misfortune, but this is just too good. After seeing many more superior bands break up, I guess there is some justice in the music world.

My first work for hire comic apparently just came out in stores according to a mysterious text message I just received.

Hahaha, wow. So much hate. But yeah, her voice was kind of grating and the music was kind of tinny and repetitive. Thank god.

Several Raves:

1. I bought some espresso and started using the Espresso machine my uncle gave me a couple of Christmas's ago. I made a couple of cafe lattes for my girlfriend and I, and they're amazing. I'm going to get some chocolate syrup and make mochas.

2. This could have potentially been a rant. I've worked for two weeks on a quick search engine at work. In order to make it I had to learn an entire system that my team had written years ago, learn Struts (a framework for designing complex web pages), and java server pages. I had everything working great, the search returned the right results, and it even allowed the use of wildcards so that you could do something like A% and get every customer's name that started with an A. The point of the quick search was to launch a new window with a list of customers, then the user could click the one they wanted, and it would close the window and repopulate the original screen.

Turns out the funcionality I was using made everything possible...except for the opening of a new window. Since the searching is done server side, I can't display the results in a different window.

So now I have to learn AJAX, which greatly annoyed me at first. But now I'm pretty excited to be learning it, it's going to be really useful later on when designing my own websites.

3. I finally found a copy of The Watchmen at a local bookstore. Walden Books is now officially my favorite book store. It's great so far. I also bought the second book in the Twilight series.

4. It's the weekend.
