Yay! I'm an uncle (again)

Now that I've had a couple of hours to nap, I may as well blog my 16 hours with my sister-in-law at my local hospital during her childbirth. Actually had to leave work 2 hours early to run back there. I can never ever remove the sense of awe when I see a newborn come into the world (I've been witness to my niece and nephew born in person) But it's still a painful thing to watch a woman almost rip apart in half when you have twins coming out at the same time. Yet she persevered through the pain and both her and her twin boys are doing fine, and in 3 weeks she can go home and the rest of my family can welcome Alex and David into the family.

Wonder how I'll feel when the time comes when I meet my future significant other and share this experience with her.

2000 views. Much thanks!

Considering I've been busy with work, playing labor coach to my expectant sister-in-law, people still keep visiting. I guess once real life responsibilities settle down I'll start blogging again.

A public apology

To a representative of Aeria. To GMTaz in particular. After waiting on the results of the blog contest for 2 months already, me being a grizzled old fart that I am, decided to pursue GMTaz on the matter. What was very uncharacteristic of me was not displaying my usual patient self when dealing with people (guess that comes with getting close to my looming 40's *Yeah I know I'm 32-so sue me-I'm getting there!* )

This is merely my way of apologizing to GMTaz in general. And I look forward to seeing the reults of this contest.

You don't deserve to play any MMO if you ask for a PAUSE function...

SMT Imagine has the the slight notoriety to have demons that have unpredictable aggro. And if you have the misfortune of answering nature's call and leave your character unattended and end up seeing a dead one after returning, that's clearly your fault. But asking for a PAUSE function is very ludicrous, and this small gem of silliness stands out, considering it's a GAMEFaqs board (since I do go there to chat up old clannies)

Have a good laugh.
