What’s been going on lately? Well, Cal’s girlfriend won the SF marathon, and wwhazz’s wife navigated a dangerous intersection.  I’ve been playing WoW again lately (though not too much!) and my friend Jay got me Dead Space for the XBox 360.  The last ’survival horror’ game I played was the original Resident Evil game for the original Playstation.  I’ll tells ya– s’ a lot spookier in 1080p with surround sound.  Space horror is more frieghtening to me than regular horror and I’m not sure why.  Anyways, I got stuck on the tutorial level when my idiot game-man couldn’t open a door.  I got past that now.

Soooo, the Badgers suck at football now? When exactly did that happen?  The Packers seem to have righted their ship for the moment, but I still can’t win a 3-teamer to save my got-damned life so there’s that.

This weekend we’ll be heading up to Door County to celebrate mama’s birthday, and then next weekend is the Big Throwdown for Halloween.  I don’t think anyone planned a party, or if they did I was left off the invite list, so the Main Depot it is.  Luchas all around.

I’ve been quite busy trying to launch my new web site– wowtracker.org.  Basically it’s a site to track card collections.  I’ve been playing the WoW trading card game for awhile now, and made it to track my own collection.  I’m trying to see if it would actually generate any ad revenue.   I’ll soon be moving it to a new server, so that link may or may not work if you click it.  In fact, better just not to click– I was only trying to beg off not updating in a week.

Finally, I found out today that I’ll be out in the Bay Area November 9th-14th, so if you are hungering for some moneypenny, uh, I guess you’re in luck.

A Random Funny

I could probably put this in a comment, buT AS I am trying to post more frequently– here you go: BLAMMO! That link will take you to a page-or-so review of a video game called King’s Bounty.  The review is very, very funny as apparently the game was designed and built by a cadre of madmen.

I heard a rumor about your Thanksgiving plans, madd.  This should be pretty fun, take some pictures.

Er, anyone have any fun news?

My Busted-Ass Website

I see that the few dedicated hobo-lovers that still post here are up in arms over the lack of updates.  Sorry holmes, but a melancholia has set in as my world crumbles around me.  Everything’s right-as-rain on the home front– I couldn’t love my little peanut any more than I do– but aside from that the world is falling to dust.

Brewers: ousted. Badger football: balls.  Packers: meh. My parlay cards: BAD!  My weight: high.  My bank account: low.  My ebay feedback rating: so-so.  My craigslist want ad: unanswered. My gainful employment: perhaps running out.  My stock options: worthless.

Which is not to say that I had a bad 30th birthday.  Spacebee did a wonderful job of tricking the living shit out of me.  I am so stupid, I was on the Booze Cruise and still not eating anything because I didn’t want to spoil my appetite for the non-forthcoming dinner at the Tornado Room.  The birthday tailgate was besieged by legions and legions of bees but we made the best of it.  Thirty people: one stung, which is pretty good, but the one was a small child which wasn’t so great.  He rubbed some metaphorical dirt on it and was on his way, though.  Someday I’ll actually have all the pictures I took up on Flickr, and when that happens I’ll post a link in comments.  Thanks to all who came (not you, CAL).  Props and slops.

I’m thinking of buying a years supply of food. Can’t be too careful, seeing as America’s GDP now hovers somewhere around $12.50 + gratuity.  Am I a paranoid sonuvabitch? Yes, most assuredly.  But I also worried about a housing bust a-way back in 2005, and worried about the stock market a-way back in January 2008.   Sometimes a paranoid motherfucker is right about shit.  Sometimes.

I know you all come here solely for my wit and motherfucking wisdom, so I’ll try to post more.  That is, if the mole men haven’t taken over the country yet of course.

Brewers Postseason

Posted on October 1st, 2008 in Brewers by whazzmaster

Weird, didn’t think I’d ever write that in my lifetime.

At any rate, the Brewers opened the NLDS in Philly today and, 9th inning quasi-rally notwithstanding, were dealt with rather handily by Cole “Goddamned” Hamels.  As usual Corey Hart struck out, which leads me to wonder what you call a slump when it last 2+ months– let’s call it a Hart.

The Devil Cubs are about to open their own series against the Dodgers in Wrigley Dump.  Let’s all watch and see what happens…
