Man, it is Thursday already. The week just shot by. Almost September as well, this year has just been shooting by.
Stupidly hot again today, worse than yesterday. Which is disappointing because yesterday morning, while leaving the house, it actually felt like autumn for the first time this year. A few clouds in the sky, sunlight at that low but-not-quite-winter angle, and there was a cool crisp bite to the morning air. Something that held the hint of the idea that soon the leaves would be turning, dressing the trees in reds and golds.
I like autumn.
As for my other current obsession… The CO ‘Head Start’ begins at 10am tomorrow. I have a pre-order from the right sort of store (the one that offered the pre-orders with the fun goodies) so I’ll be able to play as soon as the servers come up. Will be an interesting rush as that happens, seeing how many people will be on right away and how freakishly over-crowded the tutorial zones will be.
On another CO note, I started a wiki to record all of the stuff I have found in game. I did one for CoX ages back, but I stopped maintaining that one after I left the game and it disappeared to the nether realms of my HDD a while back when swapping hosting services for my website.
The game launches officially on the 1st, or next Tuesday. Which also happens to be the day I start a certification course. 9am to noon, twice a week from then until the third week of December. Gyah… Not sure what to expect of it yet. I imagine that because of the subject matter it’ll swing one of two ways: very interesting or boring to the point that I find myself longing for the peace of the grave.
Been watching Warehouse 13 for the last couple of nights off of On Demand (I have ComCast for my cable provider…). I missed the first few episodes of the show but from what I’ve seen so far it looks kind of fun. I hope it lasts. It just feels like a show with a niche audience. Still, best to enjoy the show while it lasts rather then mourn what the future may bring it.
Speaking of shows with niche audiences… I really need to look online sometime and see if I can find the last few episodes of Pushing Daisies. There were three episodes that didn’t originally air when the shows final season sort of ended abruptly that were supposed to have been aired at a much later date but I must have missed them. Well, the later date was back about eight months ago…
On one hand, I rather miss Pushing Daisies as it was quirky and fun. On the other hand, the creator of the show went back to writing for Heroes and I think he likely single-handedly saved the second half of last season.
Anyways, I need to make dinner, water my lawn (stupid hot weather…), and then likely work on my wiki a bit more before I turn in early so as to make sure I am up in time for the servers to come up.
