Go Sonics!

Last night I went to a sonics game, it was really close, the sonics won by just 3 points and it was pretty close the entire way through. I'm not much of a sports fan, but I had a really good time.

Bee Movie

I just saw Bee movie. The movie is about a bee (Jerry Sinefeld) who wants something more than the normal hive life (like in Ants), but he ventures out of the hive and breaks the rules, talking with a human. He finds out that humans enslave bees in order ot harvesast their hard made honey. I really liked the main premise, but unfortunitly while some of the dailog, and Sinfeild and Partrick Walburtan's acting was good, there were too many dull points in the movie where the movie just stoped moving. I saw it at a cheap theature ($1 tickets!) so, I guess I got my money's worth, though it's probibly better to wait for the DVD to rent rather than shelling out $6-9 for seeing it in the theature.

Stargate

I just saw the movie stargate all the way through for the first time. I've tried twice before to see it, and something keeps happening half way and I can't finish it. It was a really cool film, I really liked the strangers in this new civilization aspect to it, and it made me think of the world I'm building, which though it takes from a lot of different places besides egypt (Actually, I can't really think of any Egyptian influence in mine), it has some of the desert/middle eastern influences to it as well.

Orange Box Soundtrack

Right as I type this, I'm listening to the Orange box soundtrack. It's quite awsome with tracks from most of the games in orange box (No tracks for Half-Life 2). It features Jonathan Coultan's "still alive", both the orignal version and a new version with him singing. I'm a big fan of all the games, and I know I'll be listening to this over and over, that is when I'm not playing the games themselves.

Deathnote

Can't get any work done because I've become addicted to the show "death note". It's like a slightly creeper anime Lost.

Ascent to Bable and Other books

I finished "Ascent to babel", a book I mentioned before on linguistics. It was a very interstitials read and had a lot of things I never knew. It covers things like how our brains understand languagees and what order (grammer, words) and even perdictsthe next word! It wasn't as helpful in developing my conworld language, but a good read none the less.

Now I'm picking up the 2nd book in the Wheel of Time series "The great hunt" which i really recommend. I'm disapointed in myself that I waited this long. I'd like ot find the WoT RPG book, but it's expensive. $50 is more money than I have right now for anything. I plan on at least getting it from the library so I can check it out. I can imagine a whole bunch of cool things from the books (Like the cool "wolf-brother" thing introduced in book one) that would be really cool in an RPG. I might even be able to incorpeate it in to a regulad D20 game since WoT RPG is also in the D20 system.
I've even slipped some wheel of time-ish sayings already in the current campaign i'm in.

Wanted: Dream Job

A job just opened up at Bioware for a writer for their MMos. This would be a dream job for me, writing characters and worlds. It's definitly one of favorite parts of working on a large fantasy project I've been working on (Sorry, can't say more because it's not all mine, and I might be able to actually finish it one day). I'd like to work for that as my ultimate goal. I hadn't really thought of being a writer in the games industry (I've daydreamed of being a designer, programer of artist in the games industry before).

Since we'er talking about dream jobs, what would be your dream job?
