Barker’s Barkings.

Well, this aught to be a strange update.

First things first, I’d like to apologize to Kurt.

While I mentioned he got me sick with a Sinus Infection (to which effect I’m taking Bactrim and Cephalexin), I failed to mention that that day he and I also went out to see Wall-E, and Wanted. My apologies my friend.

Wanted was pretty visceral and graphic, but a pretty decent popcorn flick. I’m pretty glad I saw it on the big screen because I don’t think it’d translate well to the small screen at all. Wall-E was better than Pixar’s Cars, but it still felt a bit … preachy about it’s “Save the earth & get up and do something instead of being absorbed by technology..” message. I have to admit though that the scene where Wall-E and Eve are “dancing” through space was one of the most magical scenes in recent film history.

Speaking of film history.. we’ve got only ten more days until my most anticipated movie of 2008 is out, well.. eleven for those who are unfortunate enough to see it the day after the midnight release. *Cue evil Joker style laughter here..* Why am I laughing?..

Is that enough of a reason?

I think it should be… I mean, after all I did something I swore I’d never do.. and bought my tickets off of Fandango (whose got the worst commercials in the world) for it..

What is that above anyway? It’s midnight tickets to the local theatre house for The Dark Knight.

As far as what else is going on in my life…

My cold is finally kicking it’s way out of my system.. (yay!).. I bought Forza Motorsport 2, Culdcept Saga, and my brother bought me Battlefield: Bad Company for my Xbox 360, if you’re interested in adding me to your Xbox Live friends list, please feel free, my gamertag is AndrewX4. Just let me know you read my blog, and I’ll approve it.

I’ve been playing a lot of Battlefield: BC and Forza Motorsport 2… Culdcept’s not bad, it’s just a little slow, and since I only have the computer to play against, it’s kind of boring.

Oh well. At least I have World of Warcraft to keep me busy. If you’d like, drop me a comment with a return email, if your interested in joining my friend and I on Bronzebeard (be ready to be Horde though!)..as Taurens.

I’ve been waiting for the pre-orders on Diablo 3 to start so I can put down my cash and have it reserved..

As far as other things.. I can’t really say much else is going on in my life that I’d care to mention here on the Blog o’ Barker..

To the person “John”, in Colorado, (at least that’s where your ISP’s trace-route came back) who said to “Grow up” (about the pain associated with Shingles), and “Get a job..” in my comments section of the previous couple of blogs, thank you for your comments, however, I’ve decided to keep them private so that only I may see them. I do have to tell you though that Shingles is extraordinarily painful to like 25% of people who get it. Talk to your local physician about it.. you’ll see why I was complaining so much. It really does suck. As far as the “get a job” comment, things in my life are going a direction right now where I can’t obtain a job because of certain obligations with the government first. I won’t go into much detail, suffice to say it’s one of a few things I think I’m going to keep quiet on here, and if you want to know, you’ll have to know me personally to get the juicy bits. The fact also stands that the local economy for jobs is absolutely terrible.. and I’ve worked most of the places I really would like to work, and they honestly, for one reason or another, don’t want me back. So there-in lies the fact that I would like to get a job, but certain obligations and stipulations have to come to pass first, then, yeah, I’ll get a job.

So, that should be decent sized update for everyone.

Off to leveling my Tauren Hunter.
