The need...for STEED
don't you feel it?
this post will automatically up my dork factor by 983245 points. see, i'm a comic book collector, which ups my dork points on a weekly basis. but if there is any comfort in that, it's the fact that i don't play role playing games, like dungeons & dragons. and i certainly don't collect the cards. THESE acne machines get together in PUBLIC to play these games. and they buy cards and...throw them at each other, or something.
now, what i'm about to tell you, i only know because i just had to look it up, and that's this: there is a role playing game called Munchkin. now, i know nothing about how or why 39-year-old single guys and 14-year-old math club treasurers like this stuff, but it's huge. d&d. pokemon. MUNCHKIN. magic the gathering. nerds from far and wide pretend like they are 'pongo the dragonator' and get together with their friends and pretend to pretend to play. and so on and so forth.
but this Munchkin: i was in borders tonight looking for some dominoes and up on the wall i saw this.
OH YEAH! IT'S A ROLE PLAYING GAME! with my LAST NAME in the subtitle!! my life is over! they are gonna think i'm their hero or something!! i'm gonna have 15-year-old dragonslayers coming to my door!! and didja see?!? the GIANT. MUTANT. GERBIL. and just so you know exactly how UNcool this is, this will explain it.
shoot me.
kristen handed me my ass tonight in Yahoo! Go Fish. it was humbling and NOT what i needed after a pissy night. props to you.
aaaand holycrapreadthis!

observation skills be damned
i totally changed my picture on myspace after about a year and a half of the same picture, and no one has noticed. it's subtly different. my old one was the one you see here at the 'Door. the other one you can see if you click my MySpace link at the right. so, what the heck, you know?
everybody is caught up on the whole 'beatrice' thing.
sigh.
ps - Chuck Norris is widely predicted to be first black president. If you're thinking to yourself, "...but Chuck Norris isn't black...", then you are dead wrong. And stop being a racist.

by the way
I would like to welcome a couple of people to the Wardrobe.
first, courtney is a great blogger and a fellow avid movie watcher, apparently. check her out! (i found courtney through sara, who is a long-distance chum and a good read.)
second, my long-time friend rodger has finally been suckered into this junk. we have been good friends since junior year of college, which was *mumblemumble* years ago. his blog title, the inner cesspool, is a Lewis quote, as is mine. he's a great writer and the best guitarist i have ever heard. and he has a big head. just kidding. his wife, angela, is another one of my best friends (i met her before i met him, and this has been recently discussed/argued about). so check him out, too.
and as a final prop, my friend kristEn switched blogs when she switched cities. she's the second-most funniest person i know, so be enthralled.
hasta.

freaking myspace
because of that dumbass site, i get so much spam in my email. i swear i didn't have any spam until the day i signed up with myspace. and, it makes my computer at work freak out and try to download viruses. seriously, if it wasn't so addicting, i'd quit using it. but i'm not gonna.
maybe i'll email tom.

the "Organization Automobile" memoirs
"organization automobile" is the code name for the place at which i work. this place has added more drama to my life than any three people combined. ever.
well, except these two girls that i won't mention. they don't read this and none of you know them, but you never know...
well, i'm officially sick. you know how sick i am? my tastebuds aren't working. THAT'S RIGHT. it's not that i can't taste anything, it's that everything tastes wierd. even water. you KNOW you are sick when water tastes wierd. this isn't crappy city water either. this is YUMMY culligan water. gross. pop tart? gross. sprite? gross. Miyabi rice and steak? gross. but i'm still eating it, because i'm hungry. big shocker there.
FINALLY something pretty cool happened at work, though. i've made quite a few friends in the engineering department, since that's where i work. well, yesterday one of my technician friends said that the head honcho here was talking up a storm about me. ME. he said he liked working with me, i had a good attitude and work ethic, i seemed on top of things, and i'm very willing to help. AND that i'm a good guy and he likes me. I KNOW. he must not work with me that much if he thinks all those things. haha just kidding. i AM awesome. but, they need to pony up the dough if they think all of those things about me. i mean, i can barely afford my bills with what they are paying me here. RRAARGGHHHH!! sorry, i had to clear my throat.
the reason that i have been at work the past three days, yay though i am sick, is because i'm taking off tomorrow afternoon and friday morning. i'm gonna stop by the lake to see virginia and lacy as they study for the boards, and then go see my brother at the cabin. this, i am excited about. why? because i won't be at work.
sigh.
(the contents of this blog may be off-kilter and wierd. this is due to the fact that patrick cannot breath or taste food...two things he loves dearly. please ignore bad writing and worse humor. basically, he is asking you to laugh sympathetically)

Pirates of the Carribean 2 made $55 million dollars.
Yesterday.

That's...the biggest opening day. Ever.
Maybe I should order my tickets on Fandango.

(psssstt! guess what i did monday!)
yeah that calf drank an entire half gallon of milk in about 45 seconds. she kept trying to pull it out of my hand, but as you can see, i have hulk-grip, so nowayjose. here is a picture of the bottle.
so, yeah she's gonna be big and strong.
also, superman was awesome, and it awesomely sucked at the box office, so something is wrong. maybe it's the fact that lex luthor was AGAIN the villain for the fourth time in five movies, and it was kinda long. but still AWESOME. but, now they don't have a chance because PIRATES 2 is coming out this weekend and of course it is going to destroy the world. other movies i watched this weekend: the devil wears prada (awesome), out cold (superawesome), fever pitch (fantastically awesome), almost heroes (meh), and starsky and hutch (hilARious).
hope everybody else's 4th was as busy as mine!
