Saddling My Butt & Bikes And Sailing Mix Well NDSM harbor with docked Botel Last night I got to go to a part of town I usually don’t visit very often, as it is across the IJ which seperates the metropolitan area from the North, aka Amsterdam-Noord. There are no connecting bridges because this broad waterway functions as an important route for freight ships and, more consequential: many high rise cruise ships pass by to dock at the Passenger Terminal behind Central Station.

Wolfenburg is where it’s at! Dungeon runs, RvR, and fun! Hydra Boss I can’t play right now for two reasons. 1. The servers are down for a patch. 2. They nixed the grace period and my game won’t arrive until as early as this afternoon. (I’m not bitter… really… *Twitch*) Class starts soon so I thought I’d hop on this morning and give you guys a quick update on our server predicament and tell you about what we’ve been up to!

EQ: The Quon explains your class to you Back in 2003, The Quon was having trouble getting people to realize that their class was crap because they were not a cleric, the class around which Norrath revolved.

If you wanted to group with The Quon, you better know your responsibilities to The Quon — and because he was JUST THAT GOOD, he wrote up a list of his expectations fo

Why can't it be Sunday? In 24 hours I will be on the road to Green Bay to catch all the glory that is the Dallas Cowboys. It should be an interesting and fun weekend. Only downside I see is the game is at night so I need to make sure I don't drink an awful lot during the early football games. Yesterday I mentioned I am looking for a Dallas victory. I think they are the better team on just about all aspects of the game. But with them playing at Lambeau Field- a location that they have never defeated the Packers in 5 at
Friday Randomness, or Well - WILL You? And here we are, on the verge of yet another weekend! I don’t know where this week went, but it went with far too many calories and too little exercise. My bad.

Where I’m going is unclear, but I know it will be forward, because my only other option is sideways and there’s far too much of me there already, thank you very much. The party for my inlaws was fun, if you go for that sort of thing. Which we do as long as it’s, oh, once e

Ghosting Ghosting, an Aussie invention, is the art of walking very closely behind another person, literally as a ghost, without their knowledge. The game is over when the person being “ghosted” discovers the “ghost”, whereas the winner is whoever accumulated the most time undetected. The whole point of this post was just to say that I ghosted Brad in art today. I lasted about 20 seconds before he found out. It was fun.
Is it normal to feel like your going crazy???

Friday Roundup: The “As Schizoid as Ever” Edition I spent a good portion of this week digging through MSU statistics, trying to find something compelling about which I might write a post. No go. The only thing interesting about their numbers is that their numbers are all over the map. They’re 5 and 7 since beating the Irish in 2007, and all of their losses came by 7 points or fewer. Sort of interesting until you start looking at how the games actually went. In some, they were down by as much as 24. In others, they just traded off the lead over
