Fated Strife

Current Mood: Sick

Well, not much lately as usual. Angel and I finally got to talk for a bit today, might finally get to talk on the phone for Christmas too. I hope so.

I got my Halo 3 disc back yesterday. It was all nice and unscratched and, Microsoft sent me a free 1 month Xbox Live gold subscription card. Nice of them to do.

I ended up cutting my leg up today on some part of my network rack. Theres one big gash and one smaller one coming off of it. The larger scratch looking things on my leg are from the itching crap.

Guess thats about all for now.

Well, a few days ago I decided to crack open my Knights of the Old Republic II game. I had to start from the beginning due to my old save file being on my Xbox as opposed to my 360.

Today I finally reached the final boss, which I haven’t beat yet though I’ve only fought them once. I was able to get my lightsaber complete within the first 2 or 3 planets. It’s currently a silver blade with a “Vaprotan crystal” which seems to be the most powerful crystal in the game since it’s based on your character or such. I decided to go with the Light Side though DS points seem to be fairly easy to get too.

It has quite a few bugs, namely it likes to freeze up when the framerate drops, I lost quite a bit of time because of that and not having saved close to where it froze. I’ve been saving quite a bit more now after these tougher battles.

I also managed to procure the following items in a set on eBay today for $30, doesn’t seem a bad price at all considering you can’t find the figures in the stores or on most online stores as they are always out of stock it seems.

Hopefully they’ll arrive this week or early next week so I can add them along to my collection.

House was on tonight, it was fairly interesting. Seems he found another person who’s going to be on his team, at least for now. There’s some local elections going on so the show was in a small window on screen at times, I think they should’ve just waited until the news to display that since it comes on right after House. I was shocked about the team member that was disposed of today and why.

I’d like to get a pack of these sometime and also this one would be nice as well as this one.

I need to get an appointment with my neurologist before the 26th since that’s when I go back to my regular doctor. Hopefully they can get me in by then. I also need to go see Dr. Sullivan (well his new Nurse Practitioner) soon too.

I guess that’s all for now, nothing else going on to talk about thats good.

Please note that my previous post “Why being really lonely is sometimes super awesome” came from a Scrubs episode where Dr. Cox mentions JD’s latest blog post, named as such.

Well fist all I didn’t get my infusion as hoped. Couldn’t afford to do that at the time and plus I didn’t get any sleep night before. So they should be rescheduling that possibly.

I rented Kameo for the 360 other day, been playing it alot. It’s a pretty fun game actually, still getting the hang of it all. I own Perfect Dark Zero, for not being a FPS person I like it some, still need to play more to see how it goes.

I was in walmart the other morning and they had 2 premium 360 systems there for sale. I was shocked cause it seems everyone is having trouble locating them when I see 2 just sitting there. Been playing some of the live arcade games (like hexic and wik) which I really like.

Joined a HNMLS this past week, it is pretty neat so far, working on getting their site setup on this server and all that jazz.

Meh that’s all I can think of really tonight, time for some good ol’ ZZzzz.

Can’t stay but a minute cause I need at least a few hours of sleep.
Got call from doctors office yesterday afternoon telling me that instead of my iron shots and picking up B12 shot stuff today I am to instead be there at 9am to start an iron infusion.

I knew about the infusion for awhile but they showed no signs of scheduling it until yesterday out of nowhere.
So hopefully this will help get my iron reserves filled back up and keep my anemia away. Possibly also leaving out any nasty allergic reactions or such.

I’ve updated my blog and some other software on the server past few days. New look (which isn’t final still), upgraded the blogging software, also updated the contact page above as the old script I was using well was old and outdated so just used one of the WP plugins available.

Same stuff on FFXI as always. Xbox 360 is nice, puts out some heat though in the back (measured up to 108F, need to find laser thermometer and see what its getting) planning to put a small fan back there anyway to keep that part of equipment area cool. Xbox live is nice, the xbox live arcade though… I have become addicted to hexic and a few other games on there. Basically puzzle like games but they are awesome.

I’ve had a few people related to microsoft/xbox breeze through my blog too apparently so thats always a plus, never thought that would happen.

That’s all for now, must get 4 hours sleep. Zzzzz
