TV on the Radio – Dear Science

October 30, 2008

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a pretentious music review, hasn’t it?
Dear Science is TV  on the Radio’s 4th album excluding EPs.   One album ago, Return to Cookie Mountain is one that I’ve referred to on several occasions as The Most Overrated Album of 2006.  I get it, I’ve always GOTTEN it.  I’ve [...]

Cuppy Pet Peeve #4,985,129

October 30, 2008

Emails requesting link exchanges.  In particular, MASS emails sent out for link exchanges.
What is my blogroll?  It’s a list of either:

Blogs I read daily because I enjoy their content (be it opinion or news)
Friends of mine who are totally rad and deserve shoutouts.

Emailing me requesting to me on my blogroll will NEVER make it happen.  [...]

Embracing Change

October 28, 2008

Just to play copycat with Michael and Scott -
I am also voting for change and checking the Obama box on my ballot.

Sorry Mom and Dad – I’m finally making a decision on my own based on issues and personal beliefs rather than voting Republican because everyone else in Minnesota did.  In addition, I’m voting a [...]

Fable II Thus Far

October 23, 2008

Fable II has been everything I wanted it to be and more.  Admittedly, I’ve spent under 7 hours playing it so far and only about 1 hour of that was spent on the main quest line.  In an attempt to be spoiler free, this is how I have been spending my time:

Teaching my dog new [...]

Playing Multiple MMOs

October 22, 2008

The internets most quoted villain, Mark Jacobs, had this to say in an interview:
I think his message was ‘oh look at these people they’ve come back and they’re not playing WAR’. You’d have to ask him, but certainly that seemed to be the way he was coming across and I find that kind of funny. [...]

My Favorite WoW Weekend…

October 20, 2008

Was last weekend.
The introduction of the new achievement system in WoW has been one of the greatest things ever to come to the game.  Who cares that it’s not an original concept, (WAR didn’t invent it either, fanbois) achievements have done so much for igniting the community again.  Not only is General Chat a constant [...]

Yay Inscription!

October 16, 2008

Last night the Malfurion server was nice and stable, and I was able to get my Inscription ‘maxed out’.  I put that in quotes because in actuality, I’m only 365, but there are no new glyphs to train until WotLK comes out.  I can now make tons of glyphs for people (although I’m mostly out [...]

Patch Blues =(

October 15, 2008

I was so excited to log on last night and start out Inscription, and encountered one of the worst patches I’ve ever experienced.  Granted, it’s one of the biggest patches probably in MMO history (and a complicated one at that) but I was so irritated last night with the problems.
First, I couldn’t log in for [...]

My Road to Inscription

October 13, 2008

Tomorrow is the awesome WoW patch that drops a lot of good changes that will keep me entertained until Wrath of the Lich King.  This means that the Inscription trainers will be in tomorrow.  Pawtopsy has never had any professions that have gone above 125.  I always boycotted them because I never felt that there [...]
