I know this blog entry isn\'t about Dungeon Siege, and thus of limited interest, but I thought this was so funny. For some reason, the more silly something is, the more appealing it is to me. And well, this is pretty silly...

Lord of the Rings online is having an anniversary celebration, with various ways to collect different types of tokens. The tokens are used to barter for different items, such as a mount, some gear that can be cosmetically equipped and other various toys.

Yes, well. Indeed.

So I got to thinking about bell bottoms and other assorted fashions a few days ago after reading the comments regarding my Jerry Seinfeld/John Travolta farmboy skin blog. I searched on the web for some photos just to see if I could find pics that were as bad as the stuff on TV when I watch my 70s cop show reruns. And well, yup. Pretty hideous. Therefore I love it! I'm weird and contrary that way.

Since we have DS1 in DS2, time to bring in some armors.

What a wonderful past few days. It has been in the mid 70 to high 80 degree Fahrenheit range since Thursday and I have spent the daylight hours riding some new sections of the San Francisco Bay Trail south of Palo Alto. Found a new link that goes from Shore Line Amphitheater around the back side of Moffett Field (used to be a Naval Air Station) Now only NASA and the wind tunnels remain. Saw some very odd looking planes and a group of U2s painted black. Some day when I have more than 6 hours for a bicycle ride I will finish the trail behind Moffett field just to see where it goes.

For the last 5 or 6 weeks we've been having some difficulties with our television cable and internet. We almost always watch programs after they've aired with Comcast's "OnDemand" service which has been cutting out in the middle of programs (missed 45 minutes of Doctor Who that way...*grumpy face*) or even better, the service simply wasn't available.

What hurt much more was not having internet service for hours at a time, or being disconnected right in the middle of something. Over the last several days this has gotten worse so we didn't have any service at all. Le sigh.

The entitlement is strong in this one...
