Birthday

I gotta admit H3 is growing on me. It’s nice to be able to go into matchmaking with some friends without having to worry about the cussing and racial slurs that come from “Timmy.” Over the weekend, Rendara managed to attain a higher ranking then me even though we pretty much played the same number of games. I think what did it is when we got separated due to lag and she was put into a team slayer match by herself against four other people. She managed to win by getting the lead and then hiding out, using guerilla tactics.

 

Our movie poster came in this weekend for the home theater room. We bought the frames and the art lights and started mounting them on the wall. I also managed to get most of the floor lighting installed over the weekend.  As soon as the last chair arrives I'll post some pictures. There were some reservations about how it would look, but it turned out great! This week, Rendara and I are going to watch our first movie in the new room.   I think we’re going to watch “Freddy vs. Jason” since that was the first movie we ever saw together.

 

This next weekend I’ll be celebrating my 36th birthday. October 8th is my actual birthday, but Rendara and I have a deal where we get either the whole weekend before or the whole weekend after our birthdays to celebrate. Basically, the birthday person gets to do whatever they want the whole weekend. It’s a chance to be completely selfish with no feelings of guilt!   Friday after work, I’ll probably be playing H3 all evening and maybe some Oblivion. Saturday I’m getting up relatively early and going fishing out at my parent’s house all day. For lunch, were making beef, chicken, and fish tacos and of course there will probably be cake. I’m hoping for a cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Sunday, I’m going to watch the Star Wars trilogy and get drunk (King Cobra malt liquor), which has been a birthday ritual of mine for fifteen years. Monday, I have the day off work and Rendara is going to take me to a Japanese restaurant I really like for lunch. After that, I’ll probably be gaming it up the rest of the day or maybe rent a movie or two. Oddly enough, since Rendara and I have been together, it has rained on my birthday. This has led to me smoking one cigarette, with Rendara, in the rain (even though I’m not a smoker). I figure if it doesn’t rain this time I’ll get the garden hose and make some artificial rain. As for gifts, I haven’t really asked for much other then the LE H3 headset. Rendara is going to get me a belated gift and buy me Mass Effect when it comes out. Well, time to get back to work and count down the days until my birthday weekend.
