Awesome.

Quin would like it to be known that he is awesome.

That is all.

Auld Lang Syne

So, it’s a new year, and already great things have happened.

I got my Wii back, and the only downside to it is that Nintendo forgot to give me back my unspent Wii Points and anything I had bought in the Wii Shop channel. I was told to call ‘em tomorrow, though, so I’m confident that’ll work out fine.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft with my friends Christa, Derek, Quin, and Jeff lately. (Ben and Ty have been playing Age of Empires III mostly, I assume, as I’ve not heard from either of them for quite some time… though I often see them online on Skype, I’m always busy when it happens.) I’m now level 61-and-a-half, and I’m looking forward to 62, as I’ll get a new spell, Molten Armor, which is just awesome. I just got my epic mount, and I’ve been questing in the Hellfire Peninsula on (in) Draenor (Outland) with Christa lately.

While I die a lot in Hellfire, I’m pretty sure that’s just ’cause I’m a fire mage, and everything there is demonic in some way, and everyone knows demons have a natural (unnatural?) resistance to fire. I’ve quested a li’l bit in Zangarmarsh, just to see if it’s any different, and it is. Everything is either a plant, or .. covered in plants.. or lives in a plant, and everyone knows plants burn really well. Anyway, I’m still pushing for level 70, so I can say I’ve done it.

Because I’ve been playing WoW with all of my friends, I find I don’t play my other games that much. Right now all I play is World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (usually with Quin) and Super Mario Galaxy. And, on occasion, Team Fortress 2.

I’ve been waiting for friends to get Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Unreal Tournament 3 so I can play those with them as well, as on your own.. they’re just not the same.

Anyway, whenever I get a chance, I’d like to play Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties with Ben and Quin, but I don’t know if/when that’ll happen.

Now, in non-gaming news… I .. got some free brownies the other day. The li’l two-bite kinds.. that come in bags for like $6 at a grocery or corner store. They’re awesome. Even more so ’cause they’re free.

I had Jeff (Powell River) visit for about.. four days, I think. Quin and Christa met him, and they got along really well. Nice to see they like each other. Sadly, it felt like he had to go way too soon, and he couldn’t even stay for New Years, as he had to get back to work. (Just realized both Jeffs have jobs. One at a sushi bar, one at a grocery store.)

Me and Jeff played some guitar again, and I got back into it enough that I’ve decided to start getting lessons again. I intended on starting before Christmas.. but it never happened. Now that it’s afterwards, I can finally do it. That and take my Driver’s Licence Test/Exam Thing(R).

What else…

Oh, New Years Eve was awesome. I went over to Quin’s for the night, and spent it with his family, Christa, and his sister’s friends (one of which was named Savannah, which I thought was strange, but awesome.) Me, Quin, and Christa watched Orgazmo (an awesome movie by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the South Park guys. It’s old and crude but oh-so-awesome.) as well as Live Free or Die Hard. We played Scrategories, a board game I had never played before, and we played it with everyone who was there. After that, we went outside and played with some sparklers for a while. All in all, best New Years Eve I’ve had in a long while, as I usually just watch movies and eat pizza while my parents are out at a party or something.

Anything else? Let’s see…

Oh, I returned my used copy of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and got a new one. While me and Quin (he was nice enough to accompany me to Gibsons for the day) walked around, ate lunch at A&W, and waited to get the bus home, it seemed everyone recognized the game, and wanted to speak to us. It was really awesome, actually. Kind of like when I bought the Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

Oh, today I spent the day with Quin again. Got my Wii back, then he came over, and we watched a movie, Shoot ‘Em Up which was awesome. We then rocked out in GH3 and then I head over to his house to play some more WoW on Nasir while he tanked Karazhan for his guild. (That sounded so lame. ;))

Speaking of movies, while Jeff (Powell River) was here, we watched a tonne of movies including Death Proof, The Number 23, 1408, and … I believe that was it. There might’ve been one more.

hm, so that seems like everything. I’m just trying to be thorough, as I was very very very late between the last few posts, as I just.. didn’t feel like posting. But 2008 has started off quite well, and I’m looking forward to the rest of it. (Wouldn’t it be horrid if I like.. got hit by a car tomorrow, and then later people read this, and were like: ‘Oh, he didn’t live! So sad! Poor him! He didn’t know it was coming!’, etc? Such morbid thoughts I have sometimes.)

((..in case that does happen, to any friends or family who read this: I couldn’t've asked for a better group of people to call my loved ones.))
