I would say worst because its misleading...

People hope to find some sort of game that halfway matches the ads but its nothing like it. It's not even graphical is it (evony)?

Yeah, it's definitely misleading. I guess they think the only way they can get people to play their game is to run ads with women in their underwear saying provocative things so men will play their crappy, Age of Empires rip-off.

This morning during the prayer invitation at my church, I imaged a guy from the Hidden Leaf village in the anime Naruto jumping over the people in front of him, landing on stage, and writing down his prayer request for the pastor to read and pray for. It would be out of place but interesting.

today the world seems very dead

I guess that depends on where you stand on it.

*pokes*

So, I found out tonight that my nephew and his girlfriend are expecting... I'm not sure how I think about this.

O.o
Your... nephew?

Edit: Not to say that in a bad way... you just don't seem old enough to have a nephew with an expecting girlfriend. o.o;

Maybe Ty is a late in life baby?

Ah... yeah, that could be.

My cousins are 20 years apart, and I'm pretty sure the oldest was already engaged or married when the youngest was born.

My mom was the last of 12 kids. Her oldest brother is celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary this year...she's turning 54.

Quite... My mom had her first when she was 18 and there's a 13 year difference between me and the next youngest, 22 years between me and the oldest.

But honestly, my nephew shouldn't be having kids. For one, he's not married, for two, he's two years older than I am.

and I thought my 6 and 8 year difference was a good dent in the years apart scale.

Yeah... I always get funny looks when I tell people that I have a nephew who is older than I am.

I have an uncle who is 12 or 13, and come to think of it he has another niece who is already twenty.

In other news....I've posted a short something new in my writing thread. So check it out.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I might buy a car today. o.o

Oh? What kind of car are we talking about here?

And what are the ins and outs of Canadian soon to be (or has the paper work finally gone through?) residents driving stateside? Just curious on that really

Ty: Well at that point, it was a Black '90 Civic Si hatchback that had a bunch of aftermarket mods and such, but the owner balked when we asked to take it to a mechanic to get it checked out.

Now it's a White '91 Civic sedan. We'll see how this one pans out.

Adira: No idea. We've yet to find out. So far it's "don't ask don't tell."

Due to my parents having more of a social life than me this weekend, my family is waiting until 11:15pm tonight to go see Toy Story 3.

I am getting REALLY antsy.

Ah Civics. How I miss my beautiful black '02 sedan. *grumbles about evil semi trucks ruining pretty cars*


As I tweeted Chandrew: I feel for the closing shift workers at your theatre. An 11:15 showing on opening weekend?

The one I saw started at 12:01 am

Midnight premiers are a completely different breed. You have a different shift of workers that haven't been there since 5. Though for the most part I still hated working them, because I got stuck there until everyone left. The best ones are movies like Harry Potter, Batman, or LOTR where folks dress up. Those keep you entertained. The worst are things like Twilight, where you seriously consider the fact that a bomb to the building might make the world a better place.
