Diabo III

I am now the proud owner of Diablo III for Xbox 360.

The character selection is pretty typical - tank, cleric, mage, archer.
In addition to the usual toons, they also have a Witch Doctor (creeeeeepy).

To no surprise at all, I decided on the Demon Hunter class.

Mainly, I want to run around and duel wield crossbows dealing damage using Hatred and Discipline.

Uh.. yes please!

I didn't get a change to play through very much of the story line, sadly. Yanno, child with Strep Throat 'n all. I'm pretty pumped to dig in the gameplay deeper.

Speaking of gameplay - my initial reaction to the game automatically take me back to 1999 of Gauntlet Legends for N64. Demon Hunter = upgraded and improved Archer. 

I mean, you run around, kill things ranged, pick up coin/health, and open chests (without keys!!). You teleport via glowing portals on the ground. The zombies continue to respawn from the Wretched Mother until killed. Sound familiar?

I'm sure once I continue through the story line, I'll regret the comparison. From the first hour, though, all I think of is Gauntlet. Just modern-day technology. 

I Love Naps

My best friend > your best friend

#sorrynotsorry

That said, if I could have slapped her through the phone today, I probably would have. Okay, okay - false statement: but she got to take a nap today. What a jerk.

*naps can be bad too - correction

Between yesterday and today (trying to make up for 3 weeks of lost time), I've been working out like a machine. Bigger workouts = bigger appetite. Along with a bigger appetite comes more cravings for food that treats my body like an asshole. I can't wait to see the day where I get a nap and fast food. Say whaaaat??

Let's take a trip down what my nightly sleep schedule looks like, shall we?

Not too shabby, right? Yeah, oookay. Gag me with a pitch fork. 

This garbage is getting really old. I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that this was caused post baby. My body just got used to it? I can't answer that.

Memory Lane for Child:

First 4 months - 1.5 hour windows of sleep

Month 8 - first 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep

Month 11 - first 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep

Almost 2 years - sometimes she sleeps the entire night in her own bed

Oh look, more pictures -.-

Dear Naptime,

     I miss you dearly. Your stress-free environment of relaxation is all I need right now. Please rescue me from myself. I need you.

Sincerely,

Mentally Exhausted

Star Wars Game Night

I love my sister. Why? She throws super awesome parties. Ok, so there's more than that, but it's my focus tonight.

I finally participated in a themed party. Normally, especially as of recent, I haven't wanted to do a single thing that involved decent hygiene. Yeah, gross, I get it. Please, tell me more.

Boom

You would think I had some hot date or something. Nah, I got to hang out with a bunch of married nerds. Even better! They all participated too. One chick even showed up with a Han cosplay. Winning!

I was pretty geeked because I told her I would bring my Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. I hadn't realized until that night that I really don't have friends. How do I know that?

The pieces are still in the plastic.

You have to have 4 players. (>.<)

We didn't end up playing it due to conversations about being a 'folder' or 'wader' in regards to how you wipe your butt. This took up majority of our night with the original series playing as filler noise. It was pretty freaking fantastic. Oh, and Asians apparently have very soft skin? Who knew.

It felt really good to nerd out with real people. You can only watch so many sci-fi shows with your cat before you start going insane with the lack of dialogue. Sometimes you just need to talk about that scene or how awesome that lens flare wasn't! (sorry JJ)

Um..What?

Yup, this is me                                  
Currently failing at being 'me'.

I was the girl that worked out 4-5 days a week. I was the mom that fed her kid organic food. I was the gamer that played Call of Duty with a toddler crawling on her lap. I was the sister that talked about everything.

And you know what happened the last few weeks? Here's a peek.

I haven't even ran in two weeks.
I've literally only eaten pizza rolls these same two weeks.
Last time I picked up Call of Duty, I was too drunk to play.
I haven't even talked to my sister in detail about it.
I even smoked a pack of cigarettes.

Fantastic point, Sir!!

What the flaming fuck is happening here? Is this what happens to normal people? Have you ever completely lost who you thought you were? How does one person have that kind of power?

Wait a minute, can I buy that on eBay?

Next question: Why does this reality seem to happen in spurts of emotional garbage? Can't it be easy and just all hit at once and be done? Why is it so sporadic?

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Boom - suck on that epic question. Or enjoy Perry. Everything is better with Perry.

If anyone has any input on the phases of coping or whatever all that psychology crap says, please, I'm open to suggestions on what to do next.

Once Upon A Time

Guess who's balls deep in a new show?

So I'm a little behind on the band wagon? Hate me some more, why don't ya. I was always good at being the odd ball out.

Please tell me you've experienced this show. A little difficult to grasp at first with all of the flashbacks to construed time lines, it's well worth the time to understand what's going on. I'm looped.

So before this is you:

Keep in mind that I will be back. As soon as I'm finished. Promise!

World War Z

Let's start off with the fact that I have a rather serious fear of all things zombie related.

Also, I'd like to first recognize Max Brooks for the original novel.

World War Z didn't make me as terribly sweaty as most apocalypse movies do. I'm talking like majority of them leave me with legit muscle cramps and tension throughout my entire body. It's rather concerning. We won't even begin with the impossible imagination - nightmares included.

My first impression of these 'zombies' honestly reminded me of an incredibly hungry and upset Beast. Their movements were very primitive and super-humany. That put a nice spin on the typical 'walker' stereotype. Slow, clumsy, uhhhh, type zombies. These things were crazy!!

Of course, the common 'one guy can save the world' scenario is put in place. His adventure is a little different than most, though. Most of all zombie flicks now are just the 'I'm bored and want a thrill' kind of deals. Your family is dead, kill zombies, run a mile, your friend gets bit, kill said friend, cry, etc. WWZ had some brain power behind the making. I enjoyed how the three writers figured out the plot.

Needless to say, I will never watch this movie again in my entire life. I heard decent things so I had to check it out for myself. Duh. *lesson learned* Can't fault a girl that at least knows what she doesn't want (who am I kidding?). 

I do, however, highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves this genre of sci-fi. I specifically used Netflix to stream this horror film. Have you picked up on the trend yet??

Oh, and here's a little distraction with all the zombie chatter.

 I'm going to go watch The Little Mermaid or something so I don't have crap dreams. Indubitably, that would entail that I actually hit REM tonight. Yeah, oookay. (>.<)

Show me some better rainbow farts in the comments. Errbody got time fa dat!

100 Degrees Below Zero

Movie Review! *extra side of spoilers

So if you haven't caught on, my escape from reality is to drive in deep to all things science based fantasy. Which is needed as of recent, given the latest events in my personal life.

Let's visit the movie 100 Degree Below Zero, shall we?

The environmental concept in this movie was pretty intriguing and even slightly believable. Job well done, H. Perry Horton, on setting the plot line for possible scenarios. I would love to hear from a geophysicist on if this is probable and the percentage rate for occurrence.

Sara Malakul Lane made it an incredibly difficult challenge to watch the entire movie from beginning to end.
To keep it simple:
You either look like this ---> and do soft core porn *cough cough Jailbait*
OR
You have a seriously decent acting career.

Unless you're Angelina Jolie. That bitch does it all.

For being someone so far under the radar with experience, Marc McKevitt Ewins didn't give me a 'gouge my eyes out' experience. Besides my normal focal point being his teeth, I found him to be handsome on a normal scale.

Here we go with some (probably incorrect) numbers crunching.
We all remember the movie Clerks from '94, right? That movie was created using only approximately 5% of the total budget used to create 100 Degrees Below Zero - and it still blows 100 Degrees Below Zero out of the park. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that I will purposely go out of my way to be cautious that I never watch another film by The Asylum. *That previous sentence is false due to my curiosity of all things sci-fi but it added nice impact*
