And then it was monday

I’ve started playing World of Warcraft again. I tried to go back through my bank account history and count how many times I’ve stopped and started one of my accounts but I gave up after 4. It’s been a lot of fun this time around though, I am making some progress on a character and am playing with some fun people. Another fun thing about WOW is how artistic and beautiful the game can be. I’ve been playing on my big 32″ tv, so while my eyes to hurt a little bit it’s nice to just walk around and admire all the years of work that went into making the game.
Last thursday I decided to capture some video as I ran around The Outlands and because I got bored on saturday I threw it together into what I am calling. An Evening In The Outlands, it includes appearances by my little guy and some friends, but the main feature is just the game itself. Sure it steals all your free time, but in addition to being a lot of fun there is also a lot of cool stuff to look at.

And because I live for nerdy excess it’s also available in High Definition 720p

Tomorrow I get to move on to my last class for this part of the program I’m in. After that I’ll get my Associate’s Degree (who knows what the hell you could do with that) and will then get to start on my Bachelor’s. I’m already counting down the days until I am done with school. It’s been a fun 17 years but I now have a good grasp on what I want to do, at least for the next decade or so, and I am quite anxious to be able to start doing that.
The class I just finished was on PSA production and my spot turned out pretty good. I’ll probably tweak it in the coming weeks, especially the titles at the end. It’s now in the resume section of my page, feel free to check it out.

A trailer for Juno hit the net last week. It’s a film by the guy who directed Thank You For Smoking and I think it looks awesome. It did well at the Toronto Film Festival and has a really high rating on IMDB, although the US release isn’t until December so I guess It’l be a while before I get to see it myself. I hate waiting for movies, especially indie flicks, because even if you wait 3 months for it to be released there is no guarantee (especially in this silly city) that you’ll be able to see it when it’s out. I still haven’t seen Once, it played in Phoenix for like a few weeks, yet it’s still playing in Tucson, months after it got it’s “wide” release.

I’m out for now

  3. Hey David, I met you at the Collins event last week and I said I’d check out your site, so I am! Even though we aren’t in a place to utilize someone with skills like yours, it was still very nice to meet you. You presented yourself very well!

    P.S. I play WoW too :p It’s addictive!
