Get a Job or Quit School

So a lot of things have been happening and I’ve been very busy the past couple of days. My Gi Bill ends this year, but we started the paper work to transfer Sean’s Gi Bill over to me. But it wasn’t approved. They said he has to have served 6 years and re-enlist for 4 years. He has served 6 years and a couple of years ago he had re-enlist for 4 years. But they claim he has to re-enlist for another 4 to transfer the benefits. For some reason this just sounds like a load of BS.

So now I have the option of quit school or get a job. I have been trying to find a job off and on for 5 years. And I am about 2 years from finishing my BA, so no matter what I’m not quitting. There will be no point to just give up now.

And once again I’m back out hitting the pavement and filling out applications to find a job. It’s to pay of my classes so I’m fine with losing a couple of hours of my WoW to do it. Going to be a pain to keep my raiding schedule until I get use to the work schedule. Along with finding the time to do my school work, but I will just have to put that over the game for a while.

It's Always Nice To Be Ignored

So I took a break from WoW while Sean was back home in September. Before I left I talked to the GM about switching to my Rogue so that we had a Rogue that could make every raid.

I have been geared and ready to raid for two weeks, was just missing epic shoulders and the enchants. Well I had talked to the GM about her starting raiding without the shoulders as long as I was enchanted, he said it was fine.

Well, on Monday I finished her enchants, even dipped into my 10k savings for her legendary daggers, just be able to raid that night. Well I waited and waited and never got an invite. I saw people start going into Firelands and thought well maybe he’s going to whisper me and let me in on Tuesday. Raid starts at 7pm so I wait and I wait, 7:30, 29 people on and didn’t even get a whisper. So glad I waited just to waste my time.

So tonight I’m sitting here, waiting and waiting. 7pm comes along and no invite and no word. I’m sitting in vent waiting to hear anything, anything at all, and nothing. So I wait a little more, then I see people in Firelands and switching vent channels. I see the second group forming and I know for sure they are the group going into Heroic Firelands, switch I wasn’t even going to bother to even try to get in, but still no word, not even an “invites going out” in guild chat.

Really nice that I wasted my time to do all this just to be ignored. So yea I’m a little ticked off about this. The least I can get after he said I can start going and after I let him know I was enchanted to go this week, is freaking whisper letting me know that I’m not and a reason. 

Paranormal Activity 3 Review

I’m going to first give you the entire link to the trailer, so you see the movie that I wanted to go see.
http://www.paranormalmovie.com/trailer/

Now what the trailer shows it was I wanted to see, I wanted the answers it promise us, but that is not the movie I watched in theaters. I went in hoping to see this movie and get answers; I left after watching a different movie and having more questions.

They start off just like the trailer, trying to figure what is happening around the house and if Kristy’s imaginary friend is causing it. Of course the mom doesn’t want to believe and is only convinced when she leaves the kitchen then walks back in to find everything sticking to the ceiling and then just suddenly drops to the floor. Well now that it finally has mom’s attention they all run off to grandma’s house.

Now at grandma’s house is where the crazy crap starts to happen that leads to the end of the movie. Well the boyfriend is running around the house trying to find the girls and running away from the demon. Well while running around grandma’ s house he finds witchcraft markings on the walls, the mother is thrown at him from the stairs, Katy’s face is processed by the demon, and he also runs into these people that are dress in black robes and start a huge bomb fire outside the house. The movie ends with the boyfriend being killed by the demon and the grandma takes the girls upstairs, with Kristy calling for Toby, the demon.

So what happened to the fire that burned everything down that was mention in the first two movies? And what really was going on with grandma? Over all it you want to be scared there are some good parts, but if you’re looking for the answers that were promised you won’t find them.

I really wish that movies would actually tell us what were getting in the trailer instead of leaving us scratching our head saying “Ugh, that wasn’t the movie advertised!” Really it’s false advertisement. 

Return to Labyrinth

The other day Steph and I were walking around Barnes & Nobles, looking for the Charmed comics. We didn’t find them. Instead we found another series that we didn’t think existed.

Jim Henson’s Return to Labyrinth four vol. series. They only had number 2 & 3 but we ordered 1 & 4 from Amazon. The first came out in August of 2006, so I’m wondering how didn’t I know this or even how didn’t my mother know this, and maybe one day I will let her borrow them.

My Thoughts on Mist of Pandaria, The Next Warcraft Expansion

Ok so the next expansion the Alliance and Horde are back at war with each other trying to gather resources to survive in Azeroth, or so Blizzard says. But I see nothing that says that from what they have announced and shown.

The new complain pet systems seem to be more of a mini game for a smartphone then for something in game.

The new dungeon challenge is great but who really wants to deal with pugs and try for something like this, gearing 5 level 85’s is a pain as is. Now as a guild group this could be really fun, but as a pug group I don’t see it being that fun.

The new talent tree, is well, more balance but I think it is more for making it easier on them then it is for us. They don’t want us to depend on the same build to raid and pvp with, and be just like everyone else. But the one and only question I have is the EXOTIC PETS!! They are in the current BM tree only, with the new talent system that is all gone, so what are we not special anymore and every hunter can tame them and use them no matter what they are!?! It took me years to tame my Loque and I’ll be damn if I’m going into a raid where every hunter has him too when they aren’t even BM.

Last by not least…. pandas….PANDAS!!... FREAKING PANDAS!! Blizzard said themselves that the panda in Warcraft 3 was a joke and it was because they had a designer that loved to draw them. There is no actual lore in the game about the Planarians. So they are shoving all this new lore onto us and the only way we can figure it all out is by actually playing a panda. Now I’m 25 years old and even though I love the Asian theme, but really I’m not 5 and most likely will never play a panda outside of the beta or the beginner area and only to learn the lore. I mean really if I wanted to play Kung Fu Panda I would by the game for the Wii. The only thing I like about them besides the fact that they have the best racials now, is that they are the only race that is playable for both fractions and they start out neutral between the two, at level 10 you choose your fraction.

I hoped and prayed that the rumor about Blizzard trade marking the name “Mist of Pandaria” was just a rumor or for another game. But they said they have wanted to add pandas into Warcraft for 12 years, and they were supposed to be the Alliance race in BC but they didn’t fit. And in truth they still don’t fit to be a playable race even now. Being a race that is just there like the wolvars in Northrend is a better role for them then to be a playable race.

But I am not going to make a big deal about this, unless they actually take back what they said and let Jack Black do the voice over for one of the Panda leaders. Because it will be another year before they even take it to beta, and by then Diablo 3 will be out and I will most likely spend all my time on it. Since I have always loved that game and can’t wait for it to be finished and on my computer.
