Life without computers

The week we spent in Boremont was same as usual. A lot of the whole family holiday shuffle and a lot of wondering around with nothing to do. I mean, there's only so many excuses you can come up with to go to Best Buy.

Thursday, we (felix, taint, sadin, and i) were so bored. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant and talked about old cartoons. Sadin got Dungeons and Dragons (the cartoon series) for xmas. We were talking about upcoming movies this year. Transformers was definitely a big one...and that's how we got into talking about old cartoons. Some of the favorites mentioned were Transformers, He-Man, Shera, G.I. Joe, Mask, Silver Hawks, D&D, The Adventures of Johnny Quest, etc.... And I totally go stuck on one that I couldn't remember. But thanks to cool websites like http://www.80scartoons.net/, I was able to figure out it was called Jayce and the Monster Minds....

It was funny. I was like... "it had something to do with plants, just lots of plants and everything was organic....man...something to do with plant like monsters....what is it?! i know it! what is it?"

The plot goes like this: The plot concerns Jayce, son of Audric, and his quest to rejoin him. The backstory is that Audric was a botanist who did several experiments with biotechnology, one of which blossomed and became a young humanoid girl named Flora. Audric had also created a miracle crop that could thrive in any environment and end galactic hunger....---http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayce_and_the_Wheeled_Warriors

Anyhow, when we got back to my parents house, we were still pretty bored. So we did what all people do when there is no computer around, the dreaded "OUTDOOR ACTIVITY"!!! lol. yeah. we tossed around a nerf football in the back yard. I actually have a pretty good arm. If i had been a guy, I would have been the QB. LOL. Anyhow, playing both the offensive and defensive team at the same time only lasts so long....After all, we're geeks. we normally only excercise our mouse hand. (save the jokes).



so we went inside and that old movie Krull was on tv so we started watching that. it's a classic fantasy movie incase you guys have never seen it. pretty kick ass for its time. Back in the 80s, a couple of really good fantasy movies came out....and then nothing again until Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy. (i'm praying for the hobbit). Anyhow, I remember totally drooling over the Glaive (weapon) when I first saw it. I even made my GM put it in the game when we were playing Earthdawn just so I could have it in some sense.

After that, we went out to eat and came back and started watching the Dungeons & Dragons cartoons. Remember Uni and Dungeon Master? LOL. It's pretty cool. The dvd came with a booklet with all the characters and their stats.

Needless to say, when we got back to Austin this weekend, we began our WoW expedition. The big push to 60 before BC. I'm playing a shadow priest. It's awesome. The power of the mage but I can also heal myself. mwhahahaha. This weekend we pushed from 36-43.5. Hopefully tonight we'll be 44.25. heh.

I'm just so glad to have my black stallion!! Mounts FTW! Now I just need to get Felix to put my spurs on.
