Clay under my fingernails

Just updated the clay page with some new pictures. I've been messing with Polymer clay so much lately that my hands are hurting. I made a clay wizard that I think turned out pretty well. I still have alot to learn about polyclay, but I'm really starting to enjoy it. The cool thing about polyclay is that after you bake it, its just like plastic. You can keep the things you make forever.

Blah

Should you go see The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King? Only if you want to see the greatest fantasy movie ever. All three of the movies have been wonderfull, but this one is hands down the best of the three. We are going to see it in the theater at least once more.

Started playing Planetside again. They did a funny thing for the holidays. All of the soldiers helmets have been turned into Santa hats. When a player is killed their backpack turns into a stack of presents and some of the trees have Christmas lights. I still like playing this game alot. It provides me with a simpler game than Everquest, which always requires a great deal of attention to play.

All Sick

Everyone is sick, L is home in bed. Everyone at work is sick or has been sick. I woke up this morning with a headache and I'm more tired than normal. It's like some kind of freakin plague.

I can only hope that the intense need I have to see The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King will keep me healthy. The reviews are in and everyone loves it. That additional push has sent me into a frothing at the mouth frenzy to see it. I must see it, my precious.

'tis the Season

Finished playing Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time on Monday. What a great game.

I simply can't stand waiting for The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King later this month. Early reviews make it sound like the best of the 3 movies. There are also rumours that Peter Jackson may be making The Hobbit when he is done with King Kong.

Looks like someone is having a case of the Mondays.

Played Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time all weekend. Eighty percent thru the game and my hands hurt. Great game, like an advanced version of Ico.

We are both looking forward to the release of The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers Extended Edition release tommorrow. Sounds like the bonus footage drastically improves an already great movie.

Working for the weekend...

Just read this short article on charlotte.com about how much Americans work compared to Europeans. According to this article on this day we have already worked as much as they will for the entire year. They get more vacation than we do and they work fewer hours total. I don't think the extra work is worth it. Normaly around this time of year I'm busy trying to get some super important project done, while wishing I was any where but at work. I really think I would enjoy my job more if I had a little more time off. I believe that I would be more productive in the long run.

Happy Birthday Jeremy

Sending Happy Birthday wishes to my Brother today. I Love you.

Personally feeling like utter garbage today. Been stuffed up all week, and the Allegra is not helping much. I think I must be fighting a cold. Damn snot why doust thou vex me so?

Been playing Everquest lately. My wizard is now level 64 and has his epic weapon. This information probably means little to anyone that does not play Everquest but to us freaks it means I have been playing too much. Its going to be interesting to see how the MMORPG genre changes with the upcoming releases of Worlds of Warcraft and Everquest II.

Biltmore

The company I work for took me on a corporate retreat to Biltmore last week. Apart from a few crappy team-building exercises the trip was great fun. I can't imagine living in such an amazing place. That kind of lifestyle is so far removed from my reality that I can't even begin to understand it. Lisa and I will have to go there for a weekend trip sometime.
