Saw Hot Fuzz this afternoon - if you are a fan of Shaun of the Dead you'll love this film. Hell, if you are into hardcore action and violence mixed in with your comedy, you'll love this film.

Like in Shaun of the Dead, expect some graphic gory violence. It's a brutal flick for a comedy, but it works.

Anyhoo, I'll be picking it up on DVD when it comes out.

I spent this afternoon pruning the hoof of one of my sheep in the pouring rain because it was so infected the gnarly beast could barely walk. Then I got dog Shit on my hand, in an unrelated incident.

I'm glad you enjoyed your movie.

I just saw that tonight with my girlfriend and another friend. Awesome movie.

Also, I get free movies now because I work at a movie theatre. Woot.

Saw it with a couple of friends, and loved it.

Definately worth going to see at least once.

This was just an excuse to put it on "bed rest", wasn't it.

How long is the movie? Someone told me it's suppose to be obnoxiously long to make fun of the Buddy Cop movies from the 80's and 90's...

So last night, as I'm concluding my day, I start performing my final task which requires me to herd my sheep-sheeps from one section of the property to another. I'm doing this lately because they had over-grazed a third of the property, and I want the grass to gow back, but I still want them to eat, so they're alternating between two other sections of the land during day and night.

Well, as is usual, I'm sort of beat by this point. I work about nine hours a day around here when I'm not being lazy; then it's about twelve hours. I get the sheep into the area I want them in by running around with arms flailing, speaking in tongues like a charismatic preacher, and realize that one is missing. I scan the field, looking for any sign of Piggy(whom you can see in my avatar, whom's hooves I pruned the previous day, and whom is the matriarch of my harem) and finally I spot her.

She's right up against the fence, and she isn't moving. I make my way to her, and as I get closer, she at least shows signs of life and releases a torrent of frothy yellow urine. Apparently, the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence, and her head was stuck, tangled in the thin metal strands of the fence itself while her body was quickly becoming constricted by the thorny blackberry vines which run the length of my property on the north side. So I've got the Shit and mud-stained back-side of this gnarly woolen animal facing me, her body all twisted up in thorny chains and with her head through a hole in the fence. Yeah, it was pretty fUcking hawt.

So I grab my shears and get to work on the vines, cutting them away to free her body first, and she's so fUcking calm she's just munching away on the unmowed grass beyond the fence. I contemplate leaving her there. In the end I decide against it, because I'm already slaughtering two other sheep this week.

And this is where it gets good. Once I have her free from the thorny vines, I grab two fistfuls of wool right up on the middle of her torso and start tugging her back, out of the fence and toward me. It's a struggle, and she's not budging and it goes on for maybe five minutes before I even notice my neighbor watching me. These are the same neighbors who pulled into my drive the previous night, drunk as Nadenu after noon, and interrupted me while I was playing Vanguard with Git and Smoggy. He's been watching me stand behind this sheep, and pull it toward myself as I grimace and grunt.

"Need any help?" He says to me.

"Do I look like I need help?" I'm a grumpy ******* by nature, and the situation had me red-faced, fer sure.

"You look like you're fUcking that sheep," and he starts laughing. So I decide to have the last word, and I unzip my fly, release the rigid lance from my pants, and plunge angrily into Piggy. She gives a stunned half-baaah, half-oooh and pulls back hard out of the fence, cooing in satisfaction before she collapses on the ground. Missions accomplished.

Okay, again, that last part didn't really happen. I laughed when he said the sheep-fUcking thing, and replied "sure" and he came over and pushed from his side. We had her out in just a couple seconds after that and I made a new drinking buddy.

And that was my weekend in a nutshell. Oh, except the part where Git started coming on to me last night and demanding I cybor with his halfling.

I feel better now that I've shared all that.

Fixed, sheep-fucker! Smiley: motz Smiley: goat(pretend it's a sheep)

My horrible beta experience in Vanguard is a thing of the past. Vanguard's been a blast to play - it's like re-living some of the best parts of the original EQ (only much better!). I keep getting pleasantly surprised at it's awesomeness. It's a huge world - thank Bob for being able to buy starting mounts at level 10! BT, Git, and I are having a blast adventuring together. If you have Vanguard, roll a toon on Hillsbury and come join us. If you don't have it and think your pc can handle it, it's definitely worth checking out. Yes, it still has some growing pains, but the awesome fun-factor trivializes the minor nuisances that will be fixed over time.

I'm canceling WoW today - no time to play it anymore between Vanguard and LOTRO!


Seriously, we need a sheep (or sheep-fucker) smiley like the goat.

Our mains are all in the area of Three Rivers Village/Tursh/Bordinar's Cleft, but those guys have a number of alts, too. I'm too busy playing my Jesus look-a-like cleric to have many alts, yet.

If you do get on, /join asylum.

Can you make it simple for me and tell me what races to pick to end up near you? I've only tried elf and gnome.

The first bunch of races that include the High elves (the races are grouped by continent).

I really do like Vanguard for the very reasons I hate WoW: you can die if you fUck up. A couple of days ago BT, Snorre and I were exploring a huge *** dungeon (and at level 12ish no less!) and we get to one area after fighting our way down a long tunnel for 30 minutes or so and Snorre makes a bad pull right at the bottom and aggros 10 or so mobs and we die. It wasn't really his fault because up to this point the mob's (huge nasty looking spiders) agro range had been about what you expect but right at the bottom we pulled a Bugbear and his agrro range was frikken huge. There was no way we could have known that expect from trial and error and of course our error caused us to trail our asses down to the bottom of that tunnel all over again and I loved that: You mean the whole point of the last 30 minutes was for us to learn those mobs had a huge agro range? FUck yea! I felt like we earned that knowledge and it meant the rest of the dungeon (and every new one I explore) is that much scarier.

I'm also the largest distributor of crocheted nipple-covers in the Pacific Northwest and I'm a part-time carnival ride. I keep busy.
