What is up with MMORPG servers?

Okay, so I decided to pick up WoW again now that my HL2 phase is finished, as well as my GTA:SA phase. I am still partially in a KOTOR2 phase, but it is only off and on. Wow, is alot of acronyms in two sentences! ANYWAY, so I am playing WoW again as of Sunday night, not for a long time... then Monday I play a little as well, both my days off. I planned on playing all morning Tuesday though, before I had to go to work... but of COURSE I wake up extremely early, depriving myself of 3 or 4 hours of sleep, just to find that the servers are down for maintenance till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon! WTF? Now, certainly this could be just a coincidence, but it seems anytime I plan on playing in the morning... they are down for the majority of it. I don't know if they just WANT to piss off morning players or what, but they should really think about doing maintenance sometime in the WEE morning hours when less people are playing... of course that would make too much sense, so they don't. Seriously though, what freaking kind of maintenance requires 6+ hours anyway? Argh.

Anyway, I did my taxes today too, and all I can say is that I fucking hate dial-up connections. A 13 meg file(the indiana state tax prog that came as a free download with turbotax) took almost an HOUR to download! I seriously cannot stand this slow ass connection much longer, I don't understand why Loogootee can't get DSL or Cable. We have the potential and the hardware for both as far as I know, but none of the companies in town offer it! I am potentially trying to get a satellite connection going, thanks to my dad giving me his hardware... but we keep putting off putting it up, because it will be a bitch to get aimed and set-up, PLUS costs like 70 bucks a month... but since I am desperate I will probably end up paying it if it works even slightly better than this.

Ahhh to be in Sin City

Okay, so I went to see Sin City yesterday... and WOW. I mean, that movie was so damned stylish and cool, plus the stories in it were so old school and noirish... I mean, WOW. I don't want to give away any spoilers to the movie, but the acting was so bad in parts, it added to the feel of the film... the visuals were amazing, and the whole black and white with bits of color added SO much to it. I swear, all comic book movies need to be done as well as Sin City. ALSO, Jessica Alba and Brittany Murphy being in it AND being extremely hot made for an enjoyable experience as well. I really need to pick up a copy of the graphic novel and see just how well done it was though.

On a related note, I usually wait till the end of movies before walking out of the theater, this includes staying till the credits run... just to see if anything extra happens. In case you were wondering, nothing happened at the end of this one, so feel free to leave after the final scene... unless you are like me and stay anyway ^_^

Customers suck.

Okay, so today I was on break, and waiting to check out, when a customer that I had helped earlier saw me and said "I need a game out!" Well, being as that i am not an electronics associate anyway, PLUS I was on break I said "Sorry, I am on break." Then the moronic guy got mad and said he wanted a game out now, then some other guy started saying the same thing! I said again sorry, I am on break... I don't know where the electronics associate is, and they said well, get some one over here... to which I said again, I am on break. Then they told me to get my manager over there... and I was like.. no, I am on break. Then finally the elec. associate came up and helped them... but still I mean, do I go to their jobs, wait for them to go to break and say "Come on, get your windex and paper towels... these jerk booths don't clean themselves!"? I mean seriously. Assholes!

On another note, I am going to see Sin City tomorrow at the matinee... so hopefully it will be as good as it looks. If nothing else, a scantily clad Jessica Alba will be worth the $3.50 ^_^

Okay, seriously.

Okay, had a pretty interesting day today. I was going to lunch and when I got to my car, some old couple were loading some lame-ass concrete lawn statue into their big ass red truck parked next to my car. WHY they weren't putting it into the bed of the truck, I don't know... but whatever. So they are blocking the path to my driver door, so I decide to walk around the front of my car and get in that way... as I get closer, I notice they are having some trouble getting the thing in their truck, so I decide I am going to offer to help. Well, right as I was getting ready to ask if they needed help... the old lady loses control and falls against the open door of the truck and it FREAKING hits my beautiful car door and leaves this big ass scuff mark! WTF!? I mean seriously, why did that have to happen? I love this car so much... and lame ass people or things keep fucking leaving scratch marks and shit all over it! So anyway, I am basically taken over by shock and rage, and the old lady is like... "Oh... is it okay? It didn't hurt it did it?" And I was like, well YEAH... I am going to need your insurance info! So the old guy gets out his card and I try to find a pen or something, but of course can't... so I have to ask the guy for one, which I kind of think is funny... :) So I take his info down and called progressive and that old moron is going to pay for my door to be fixed... I mean WTF. Every car I have had before this, I never had a single problem with things happen to scratch it... but of course the one car I totally love, has to keep getting its ass kicked by dogs, magnets, and old people! ARGH! So hopefully they bodyshop can fix it and make it look like new again... I am hoping.

On an unrelated note, did anyone see the PSP-Terry Schiavo South Park on Wednesday? It was supremely hilarious and I agreed with it for the most part. I don't know why ANYONE would want to be kept alive with a feeding tube... So if I ever am in a persistent vegetative state... my readers, you have my permission to let my sorry ass die! ^_^
