I remember one time I won some like lottery or raffle style drawing at my school. They brought me to the principle's office to pick out a prize and he had like a drawer with different stuff in it. I picked out this big set of markers. That thing was so awesome. It had like 40 different colors. I even parlayed that on to winning an Easter coloring contest at our local grocery store. Got a stuffed animal out of it. Those markers were awesome.

Three days later it just stopped and now everything is a green light. Never knew what set the alarms off or why they stopped.

Since we're talking tv shows here: Is anyone watching "Hawaii Five-0?" Because I've got a ton of questions that maybe those not living in Hawaii can answer for me. (Because honestly, I'm pretty sure that most of my local friends who watch the show are either groaning and throwing things at the the tv or ROTFLOL. I mean, that show's pretty much a seriously hour-long comedy where I live...and it's nice that the show's here, but when did all of Honolulu pretty much end up in Waikiki?)

My first stuffed animal was Smokey the Bear. His hat didn't last long, but I had him for years. I like the new adds where he steps on a cigarette. Adds a non-smoking message with his prevent fires image.

That reminds me I need to keep up with my Christmas films.

Stupid question -- do "all" shorelines have screaming seabirds at 'em?
Because my friends and I keep wondering "WTF is with those non-existant birds?" (We have birds, we don't have seabirds that do all that noise...)

As for the "small group of islands" -- I'm still waiting to see them film another island. (I do give them credit for trying to make it look like other locations...)

P.S. Spike fans should watch the 1st episode. James Marsters is the lead bad guy in the episode.

Y'know, now I'm not sure if I should be flattered that the island looks like the mainland, or if I should be insulted completely.
It is filmed on Oahu...Most of the "wilderness" shots are probably at Kualoa Ranch on the windward side of the island, but the in-town shots are shot in town....my friends and I could show most folks where various scenes were shot in town as a tour if you like. 'Course the "wooded" drive and "Kauai" shots in this week's episode were mainly at Pali Lookout area, and Aloha Tower Marketplace was also the Kauai pier...
Oh...and random, funny trivia. The original Five-O supposedly had its offices in Iolani Palace...the new version has its "offices" (and I still want to know how can the task force get a whole floor to themselves with so much space...this must be an alternate universe Hawaii) across the street at the old Federal Court building.

Here's an imponderable for ya. I love the website slickdeals. I always look on there for deals on electronics, movies, games, etc. So, I was getting Forgetting Sarah Marshall on dvd as a gift and found what I think is probably a price mistake. So, I posted it on there. There were quite a few guys (I assume they were guys) posting about how the movie is terrible because you see some brief shots of Jason Segel's penis. Female nudity is way more common in film. What do women think of it? Does it ruin movies for you?

I just don't see the big deal. They put it in there for shock value and it works IMO.

Got lluckt and had good weather for Christmas. Drove to mom's and spent the day with her. Did not like the drive home. It was dark and the wind blew snow over the county roads. Could not wait till I got on the interstate and the traffic kept the roads clear.

I had to be back today because I am involved in a military campaign game. The year is 1561 and I am the Tartars and I invaded the Cossacks. To my surprise the Cossacks got help from a small force of Poles, so I was outnumbered. But my opponent went to ground and I showered him with arrows from my massive light cavalry contingent. He tried to advance, but it was to late. One unit after another of the Cossacks fell apart and as the day ended I had won. This is the first turn in the campaign, so I am off to a good start.

They are 15 millimeter lead figures mounted two to four figures to a stand. We can buy the lead figure and paint them ourselves or if we are not very talented there are people who will paint the for a price. You are given a list of units that existed at that time for your army. Each unit is given a value. So if your army is supposed to be 1500 points you select the units you want until it adds up to that point value. I was allowed only four heavy cavalry units so my army consisted mostly of light archers on horseback. The gunpowder weapons were not very good in 1561 and my arrows had longer range then the Cossacks early muskets. Since I had all cavalry I was more mobile then the infantry army I was facing I had an advantage. The real trick was not to let the Cossacks get close. I got lucky when the Cossack commanders rolled to give orders to their units and failed. They could not move and I was able to stay out of range of their gunpowder weapons as my light horsemen filled the sky with arrows. A lot of luck. The poor Cossacks rolled poor dice for commanding their troops most of the game and I just picked them off. The results of the battle gives me control of the Cossack territory of Astrakhan. The Cossacks will probably attack with a greater force to try to get it back.
I like this period. The armies army just bands of men who bring all their own gear, so the are no uniforms. They are dressed in their finest clothes and that means bright colors of every combination. Their horses are small and quick. We scale down the size of the units. My army only had about 150 men. you would have to multiply that by 50 to get the true size of an army. But that that takes up to much space and costs a fortune. As long as you get the feel of commanding an army and all the disasters or glory that may befall you. No matter how good your plan is you still have to roll dice to see how well your troops will perform. Roll small numbers when giving orders and big numbers when shooting or in hand to hand combat.

Long drive from Austin to Chicago and back but me and kitty Kaylee made it. We're slowly recovering. The trip back was particularly cruel when the check engine light went on and we got to spend 4 hours in a repair shop waiting area. Amazingly she just sat there quietly in her cage except when I'd get up to go to the bathroom or talk to the mechanics. Then back on the road for 8 hours. Fun times.

Christmas was ok though. My brother got us tickets to a play of A Christmas Carol except as if it were written and performed by Klingons. Sorta funny. Luckily they had a screen with English translation for those of us who aren't fluent.

I forget where they said it started, but it wasn't Chicago. Maybe Seattle or something like that. Apparently it made the front page of the wall street journal that week even. Still wasn't sold out though.

The engine light was because the engine temperature was staying too low. They replaced the thermostat which wasn't too bad. They just didn't like that it wasn't getting up to the right temperature after that. After 4 hours of it I pretty much said I'd live with it. The light never came back on. So, meh.

That was a fun game to watch. I like the Jets vs Colts game too.

And MsA you and your emotions. I expected something much more important as a "game changer". That was just "bah so marshal will act sad for a while".

Zeek- you have no soul... plus it is a game changer. With Marshall's dad out of the picture it's going to alter the baby plan. Plus I'm betting, based on Ted being all Ted, it's going to make him all panicky and weird about how short life is and he's going to desperately attach himself to the nearest woman. Which , sadly , is Zoe

I don't think the Zoe thing is going anywhere. She's getting pretty bad fan backlash. I think they got the picture and are just putting her in a holding pattern until the contract is up with the actress.

Plus we already know the baby outcome. Ted basically said that Lily is pregnant next year with the story about her and Barney a couple weeks ago.

I'm more curious about the wedding that they hinted in the first episode this season. It looked like Lily was a bride's maid and she hasn't exactly become close to punchy. I think punchy's wedding plans are just pulling the wool over our eyes and they're going to take a U turn right at the end.

I think punchy is a total side trip meant to distract us. I also think Zoe is going to turn out to be somehow involved and going to make trouble so they can extend out the " meeting" and getting with the mom
BTW also enjoying how totally exhausted NPH looks. Serves him right what with twins:)

The Packers are the better team but playing at Chicago will be interesting. The crowd will be really into it. The Packers need to silence them quickly.

I think it'd be better if it were real bears...just saying

So what'd you think of the pocket dial funeral message?
Also loved Robyn as the "supplier"

as for NPH I just figure...if I'm not getting any sleep, why should he?

I watch shows one of the internet sites after they aired. Then you can watch when you feel like. Can't wait to long because they only keep about five up at a time.

I've watched all of Chuck. Hour length shows are perfect to eat dinner to. Half hour shows don't cut it so unless I have two stored up then they're just going to wait until I have a half hour to kill and nothing better to do than sit around.

Mostly we do the 1/2 hour one's because we watch one while I snuggle Johnny to sleep and it takes about 30 min.

Just saw a Manwich commercial. It used to taste good but now it's crap. Maybe it was the dry mix Manwich and not the canned that was so good. Must check.

Things that were good as kids but are crap now...

Moonpies.

And Saturday morning cartoons.

I do miss Saturday mornings with Bugs Bunny and then Bullwinkle and Rocky. There was the Wayback Machine and Go Go Gophers.
I get the Qubo channel now and they have some good cartoons. Sitting Ducks and Splice make me laugh. Splice is only on at three in the morning. A bit of a sacrifice to sit up that late.

I was watching that channel at Nana and Papas in SLC. Stayed up late Christmas Eve waiting for Santa and watched He Man. Felt nostalgic so I even watched She Ra. There is so much I miss about Merry Melodies/Looney Tunes that I cannot describe it is this small space.

School is going well. I start on my graded project soon, it looks like I'll be working on a program for a real life client too. That should be good for my CV. I've got my first uni interview in February too.

As for things that were good as kids but not so much now, for me, that's Nickelodeon. I seem to remember watching that channel.

Hey I still like manwich!

Steelers vs Packers should be a good matchup. I actually will be happy that one of them will have to feel the crushing defeat of losing the super bowl.

MsA, watched HIMYM. Lame episode. There were barely any jokes. Saw the end of the pocket dial coming a mile away. Well not the fungus part but the rest. Best part of the episode was Marshal saying he was going to drop a deuce.

The Packers and the Bears game was bigger then the Superbowl. A couple of oldest teams in the United States and constant battling rivals. No better game to watch. Raji? Where did Raji come from?

But the Bears suck this year. Beating them doesn't mean much when it's a pretty big mismatch. If the Bears beat the Packers this year then they'd have something to brag about. Right before they got slaughtered in the super bowl.
