Lazy Sunday

Today is just a lazy Sunday. I don't have anything to do, other than sitting around and watching shows. The main ones I'm watching now are 30 Rock and Naruto, the former at the suggestion of my wife and the latter at the suggestion of a coworker. I'm liking both quite a bit right now, but Naruto is a pretty big undertaking. There are something like 400 episodes altogether, so if I stick with it, it could take a while (or it could just take over my life for a while, like happened with Stargate).

I think there's less chance of that with Naruto, just because a new season of Doctor Who is starting on April 23rd.  Now I need to share how amazed I am with the autocomplete on my phone. When I typed "Doctor" with a capital "D", it suggested "Who" as the next word, and when I typed April followed by "2", it knew that Doctor Who premieres on April 23rd! Almost creepy...

Middle of the night

It's the middle of the night, and I'm wide awake. I feel pretty tired, but every time I close my eyes, I start to think about my vacation in a week, or my haircut tomorrow or I wonder what happens next in the series I started watching on Netflix a couple days ago. And now I'm thinking that blogging on my phone is great practice for the touch screen. G'nite!

Twitter babies

If anyone is reading this, know that I think I have convinced a friend to live tweet her labor. She just tweeted how odd if feels to have a numb torso.

Enblogginations Resume

Just discovered the Blogger app for my phone and thought I'd give it a try. Obviously, that's all this blog was two years ago, the last time I had a new phone, but we'll see what happens.

Long haitus

I doubt very seriously that anyone is regularly checking my blog for updates at this point. I noticed my twitter page (twitter.com/CurtissJP) still links here as my website, and I thought, "Hey, I should quit neglecting that guy!" So here is a little post to get me started.

Later today, I am going to a wedding with a "Bonfire Casual" dress code, as there will be a massive bonfire following the actual marrying. Perhaps some fun pictures shall be blogged...

Mmeh...

I don't really have to much to say. I finally go caught up on my Google Reader on my phone, and that made me feel like I should do a blog posting of my own. I only follow five blogs on the Google Reader, but several of them typically post multiple times a day. If I don't stay on top of it, I fall way behind.

The weird thing is that I tend to not even like one of the blogs I follow. "Bad Astronomy" is its name, and it is by a sciency type who strikes me as very anti-religious. I myself am rather sciency, and I believe that the universe is about 15 billion years old and in evolution and all that, but I am also a Lutheran, and while I believe in God, I also believe that the Bible is not meant to be taken as 100% literal, so I don't think that a belief in science is incompatable with my faith. I think that my view about that is fairly mainstream, and many people don't have a problem with things like the proper teaching of science in school. The minority of creationists are simply very vocal and influential. Anywho, "Bad Astronomy" frequently seems to lump people like me in with the super-hardcore creationists, which I don't care for.

Internet Boredom

I was bored on the internet, and discovered that one of the many possible anagrams of my name is "Onscreen Strip Joust". Thought that would be a good name for a blog, so I changed the name. So that's that.

On an unrelated note, I should vent a little bit about a frustrating experience I had while playing World of Warcraft earlier today. I started a rogue, which is a class I haven't explored much, and was in Dun Morogh, the starting area for dwarfs and gnomes. My character is a gnome, by the way. Having just reached level 10, I was doing a couple quests in a quarry full of these ape-like fellows, when along came a level 60 human death knight, who asked if I wanted help. I said, "no thanks", and continued killing the monsters, or "mobs" as they are referred to by people who play. She then ran into this cave on the side of the quarry that was full of some slightly different ape-like fellows who I also had to kill. Just as I started targeting the creatures so I could fight them, she would kill them. I kept fighting the ones she didn't kill first, and I ended up pretty deep in the cave. When I tried to make my way back out, there were too many mobs near the entrance and I couldn't stay alive long enough to kill any of them. I got very frustrated and had to stop playing for a while. The moral of the story is this: If you play an online-game, and you have a high-level character, but spend your time in the starting area for low level characters, you are a dick...or in this case, a bitch.

That is all.
