And, this holiday, Xbox LIVE is adding new Gold features, including ESPN and Video Kinect, with Hulu Plus coming on Xbox Live in 2011.
Its been a bit busy around here, with friends and family vising, various birthdays, and hours and hours of StarCraft 2.
So I thought I would share some hilarious girls getting revenge.
I’m sure you have all already seen these fabulous gags, but my only other idea was to post a replay of one of my SC2 vs matches, which would have made you all laugh just as much, at my expense. =P
I hope you like these little tidbits. And just maybe you will know why I never ever ever ever get on Xbox chat, ever!
I just recently discovered the Cake Wrecks site and its been making me giggle ever since. I know I’m a bit slow considering the site has archives back three years and has been featured on dozens of other websites. But even this delayed its well worth sharing. =D
But its even better, because the author of Cake Wrecks started another site called EPBOT.com. A fun geek (crafty) girl blog. At first I was skeptical (always am of crafty sites!), but just the other day she posted probably about the most awesome tee shirt of all time. If there was any doubt left about the site being worthy, linking this shirt instantly trampled it all to bits.
Best shirt EVAR! Only failing, no woman’s sizes!! Seriously, that was one of my favorite childhood movies of ALL time, and they cant make at least a girl shirt. Booo! /sigh
So busy playing StarCraft 2, not sure I will get around to finishing all ten this month. (Did manage to read all ten for July, whoot!)
Anyway here is my list and their assignments. =)
For our August challenge, Characters Alphabet Parade Challenge.
I have divided the alphabet into 10 groups and your goal is to match characters from your chosen books whose first or last names start with one of the given letters.
1. A/B – Anya – The Darkest Kiss
2. C/D/E – Ehren – First Lord’s Fury
3. F/G – Fred – Wicked Weaves
4. H/I/J – Harry Dresden – Storm Front
5. K/L – Anna Latham – Cry Wolf
6. M/N/O – Kitty Norville – Kitty Raises Hell
7. P/Q – Paragon – Dragon Haven
8. R/S/T – Eric Sinclair – Undead and Unreturnable
9. U/V/W – Kate Winslow – The Hollow Kingdom
10. X/Y/Z – Zeb – Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs
So I upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and now my images dont show up.
No one seems to know exactly why. Fun.
Excuse the lack of images. Will get that fixed as soon as I can. (Edit: I should say, I am going to ask the lovely, smart people at Dreamhost to fix the problem. They are my Tech-Knights in Shining Armor. /swoon)
(Edit #2, the Wordpress upgrade renamed one of my folders, which is why the pictures aren’t working. Now I need to figure out how to fix it so I dont have to go and manually fix every single image.)
(Edit #3, work around fixed. Images back up. Thanks soooo much Dreamhost techies!)
July wasn’t shaping up to be much better with all the traveling and such, but I contracted a mild stomach flu and spent the past few days listless yet not so incapacitated I couldn’t read. Thus I am chugging right along on my July stack. (See how I am trying for a silver lining on my being sick during vacation?) Then again most months that I am ahead I space out half way through and have to scrounge at the end. =)
Ten books a month is a lot to read and I find that I’m struggling with getting enough sleep and finishing all my books. Sadly the best reading time for me is also the best sleeping time. Ah well, I’m still well on track to read 100 books this year.
Lots of traveling going on the past month, much of it spent in an airplane. My most recent flight, I had my DS, my iPhone, and my laptop out, but couldn’t help but be jealous of the guy sitting accross the aisle with his iPad. Dumb name, great device.
Much of my flight was spent peeking over his shoulder as he played something. Didn’t care what really, just that he could. /sigh
Will be home again next week. Guess what my very first item of business will be?
Thats right, I’m going to sleep in my own bed. (And get an iPad!)
Its about time for another little World of Warcraft update. And though I have been trying to keep WoW topics from overwhelming the site, I do still spend quite a lot of time playing it still and could go on and on. Thus I am consolidating all my latest news into one post.
Almost forgot to add that the Midsummer World Event began today which is the last world even that my warlock needs to complete the purple drake flying mount achievement.
