I'm FINALLY using some vacation time at work at the end of the month, I'll be taking a week off to visit cara in texas. And we'll go to the ft worth zoo because they have an animatronics dinosaur exhibit and then I'll go to six flags and then watch fireworks on the 4th of july and and and more stuff.

The wife and I are trying to plan a week-long vacation to a tropical type honeymoon-ish island sometime in September. Just to get away from the grind for a while. Looking forward to it.

The job is OK. Maybe my biggest checks ever, but I'm tired of the job for sure. Retail ain't for me. I might start looking soon. I hear a lot of oil companies down here are looking for fucktons of qualified folks.

As far as music goes, I'm loving mid-era Darkthrone. Love that 3 track on Ravishing Grimness. Listening to early Bathory too, and getting into early Gorgoroth. Still don't understand what you guys like about DsO. Just listened to Si Monumentum and it's boring. Anyhoo, looking forward to getting the new Scald, Necrophobic, and Morrigan. Currently looking for that Havohej album.

Don't care about soccer. My Astros blow this season. Basketball is about as interesting as DsO to me.

Glad Rescue Me is back on for the third season. Looks like a good 'un.

Hope to try out my new paintball gun soon. I also hope this can turn into a semi-hobby for my off days. I need a stress release, and hurting people, while having fun, sounds cool.

other than that, just paying bills and just livin...L-I-V-I-N

right now, about to leave to check some local music stores, then meeting the folks for dinner down in Sugar Land, and then taking my dad to see Da Vinci Code for his birthday. that's what he wanted from me.

[Lies and Perfidy]

Took a shitload of shrooms last night and came to the decision to quit World of Warcraft once I can wrap up the story arc I'm writing. It's a slightly suspect decision, but I think the enhanced clarity is really what I needed. Shrooms are great for conceivably life-altering decisions, really.

Canada, Seattle, SF, and Oregon in a few months. A few weekend trips between now and then for camping and the Comic-con in San Diego.

- job (sticking with current or looking for something new?)
Still here, it'll be 7 years next month. Job is quite stressful at times, but I'm pretty accustomed to it and I make a lot of jewtokens. Not sure I like the direction the company is currently headed in, but that feeling comes and goes. Just dealing with change I guess.

- girlfriend / boyfriend (want one? dumping one? in between?)

HAMMERS

Waiting for the NFL to start up again.

My newest bass shows up today via UPS, and is the least old I've ever purchased: a 2003 model. :Spin:

[En Vind Av Sorg]

- job-> stuck with a shitty office job, probably quitting to work for the park service or something outside all day, sick of this corporate nonsense
- girlfriend-> Had the same one for about a year now, still very happy with her. Guess I'll keep her around since she likes me for some reason
- most anticipated music-> new Blind Guardian, Virgin Steele, Angra (maybe?), Agalloch (even though I already know it rules), I guess those Hammers dudes too
- watching the world cup-> lolz
- anything in general that is life altering in any way-> Band is getting bigger, playing better shows, new EP coming out soon, not life altering but cool

[Dark One]

What's everyone got planned for the next X months?

- vacation (or any weekend music fests?)

Aside from Progpower - I can vacation any day I choose by just heading down to the beach.

- job (sticking with current or looking for something new?)

Looking for something new - maybe a chicken plucker or something.

- girlfriend / boyfriend (want one? dumping one? in between?)

In between, though I found a nice local pub that has ladies' night three straight evenings per week.

- most anticipated music?

Really digging the new Satyricon - can't purchase much, but will definitely procure that one. Looking forward to the new Moonsorrow/Entombed/Hammers of Misfortune, to name a few.

- watching the world cup?

Perhaps, but as of now, no. I have been into it in the past though.

- anything in general that is life altering in any way?

Absolutely Everything.

 

[Russell]

What's everyone got planned for the next X months?

When are you coming to the UK, and when are meeting up? I need to sort out when I can visit home

- vacation (or any weekend music fests?)

I'm working all summer, but have the next three weeks off to catch up on UM reviews and stuff, which is nice. A couple of days back was the first day I'd had off since last September. Going to Norway for a couple of weeks in July and August to visit my girlfriend.

- job (sticking with current or looking for something new?)

Very cool summer job doing work with the guys who discovered the world's oldest fossilised penis (!!!!!)

- girlfriend / boyfriend (want one? dumping one? in between?)

Mygirlfriend is in Norway for the next seven months because of her degree, so I'm currently adjusting to living on my own. This house is pretty big when other people aren't here, it's kind of odd

- most anticipated music?

The new Thee Maldoror Kollective Plus a lot of stuff I'm forgetting right now...

- watching the world cup?

I'm sure I'll get sucked in in the end, but at the moment I'm hoping to avoid it as much as possible

- anything in general that is life altering in any way?

Living on my own feels pretty odd

 

[Crimson Velvet]

- vacation (or any weekend music fests?)

I have vacation, but no money..

- job (sticking with current or looking for something new?)

I hate my job, and each day, I feel like putting a gun to my head.

- girlfriend / boyfriend (want one? dumping one? in between?)

Nope. Single for the first in a decade.

- most anticipated music?

New Metallica.

- watching the world cup?

No.

- anything in general that is life altering in any way?

I have a spot under my right arm pit that really hurt when I stretch my arm forwards...

 

[jimbobhickville]

- vacation (or any weekend music fests?)
I wish... to both. Music fests are all too far away to be affordable, and I have pratically used all my vacation time on sick days 'cause I have crappy health.

- job (sticking with current or looking for something new?)
Actually, not sure. My brother's trying to get me on at his place, and I think I'd like the more relaxed atmosphere, but they haven't let me know yet. If that doesn't pan out, I'll probably stay put for a while longer.

- girlfriend / boyfriend (want one? dumping one? in between?)
Married, happily. No plans to change that.

- most anticipated music?
Hell, I'd be happy just to catch up with the 2006 releases I've missed so far. Had a bunch of bills come due, so I'm probably poor for the rest of the summer Anyway wanna send me mp3s?

- watching the world cup?
Nah, don't have TV (I have a TV, but no cable, and no reception for non-cable in the basement). Netflix is teh win. Never was much of a sports fan anyhoo. American Football was the only one I watched regularly at any point, but regular football (aka soccer to us ingorant Americans) is probably 2nd on the list.

- anything in general that is life altering in any way?
Apparently I'm supposed to be giving up on Librarius and bowing in worship to Metal Archives, but that'll happen about the same time that Linux throws in the towel and bows to Microsoft. Sorry to keep wasting so much time on something so fruitless guys, what am I thinking?
