IT

it
Can you get any creepier?

I watched IT yesterday. I wasn’t going to and then changed my mind.

If you haven’t seen it, watch it. It’s much better than the original, it will scare the hell out of you and keep you on the edge of your seat. If you hate clowns, you’ll hate them even more.

The New Star Wars – The Last Jedi

While binge-watching Star Wars this weekend, I had an idea. This idea is about Rey who she is related to.

There are 2 possibilities that have been rolling around in my head.

Luke is Dad

This Star Wars – The Last Jedi is supposed to be all about the Skywalkers from what I’ve read. This would make sense. This would make
Kylo Ren and Rey cousins, along with the light saber thing from The Force Awakens.

But why was Rey exiled somewhere by herself?

How about Han and Leia as parents?

Leia is a Skywalker. Kylo Ren and Rey could be brother and sister – in fact, I think they might be twins, hence “Ren” and “Rey.” Here’s an explanation of where “Kylo” comes from:

What does Kylo mean?

Oh yeah. Twins. My guess is that one of them tried to kill the other as youngsters, Rey was exiled and kept Ren close so as to keep an eye on him, or maybe he was sent with Luke, with hopes that something could be done with him.

A Third Possibilty

Another possiblity, Rey and Ren are twins (I’m pretty much married to this idea, lol,) are LUKE’S kids, mom died or took off, and same scenario as above except Han and Leia took Ren, and Rey was sent off to keep her safe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the storyline runs with one of the three ideas above, but I also won’t be surprised if I’m completely wrong, lol.

Earthquake Mobs – DND Shakers

Have you seen the earthquake mobs spoken about in this post on wow.com?

I went in search of them and found them.

Dungeon Finder Blues

Leveling my lock, determined to get her to at least 55 this past weekend..

I had several quests for Sunken Temple, and Zulfarrak, and Maraudon. I get into the dungeon finder with the hope that I can clear these quests out of my bags.

I keep getting Black Rock Depths regardless. But I have no quests for BRD, by the way. You would think Blizzard could come up with a way to put folks in the dungeons they need to run. A simple query to a database for instance:

If (player) has (quest/questitem) and is qued, then give them the needed (dungeon); otherwise (any dungeon)

But I digress. This weekend was a Blackrock Depths Weekend!


1st try: Moonkin tank


What the heck. I’ll give it a whirl – it’s not like we’re running heroics, right? I was curious to see how he was going to hold aggro. And, he politely informed us, it was his first time tanking.

No! Really? I never would have guessed!

He starts off by Typhooning a mob, about 40 come running and we die. So much for holding aggro.

For some reason, the group dissolved….

2nd try: Know it all tank!


Not in the group 5 seconds yet and I get a comment from, not sure who, somebody who stated my demon has a name that is used for Satan!

I’m like Ok and quickly run down the names I know in my head (not that I’m an expert on Satan, mind you) and can’t come up with a clue of what this guy is talking about. Even looked it up later and it’s nowhere I can find. I can live in peace now. It’s not on Google, so it doesn’t exist.

I was informed by the tank that under no circumstances should I use my Hellfire move. Because, according to him, I have no idea what it will do to me.

I’m like, “Um, yea, I’m fully aware of what Hellfire can do, but thanks.” The tank is like “No you don’t!” Apparently he thought I just that minute fell off the turnip truck or something. So I explained to him that when I first got the move, I tested it. Approximately 30 seconds later, there I was dead on the Slaughtered Lamb floor amongst the warlocks. I even did it a second time to prove to an unbelieving warlock that yes, we can in fact whack ourselves. I know what the move can do, and don’t really use it except for emergencies. I decided to use Hellfire every chance I got, happy to know it would make the tank freak.

Otherwise, the tank was ok, even though he was a little bossy. Did his best. But we had a Moonkin in the group who would aggro a bunch of mobs when the tank was trying to kite a bunch across the room and it really didn’t make for a pretty sight. I suspect he was trying to impress us with his hurricane skillz.

3rd try: WW3 and Epics!


After waiting for what seemed like forever after a tank and dps leave, and watching a Shaman tank the trash (hey he did a darn fine job too!), we got another tank and dps which made for 2 hunters in the group. The two hunters started fighting over the epic that *might* drop off a boss before we even got to said boss. The boss did drop the epic and the fight was on. I still don’t know who won – I left the group.

I never did get my bag. But I did get my warlock to 56!

Diary Of A Snow Shoveler

Diary Of A Snow Shoveler

December 8: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a lovelier place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. It’s a wonderful life.

December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man. I’m glad he’s our neighbor.

December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8″ last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life!

The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.

December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4×4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife’s car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the e lectricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska.

December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like all get-out. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but I won’t admit it to her. Geez, I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20: Electricity is back on, but had another 14″ of the damned stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day; snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighborhood kid to shovel, but they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying.

December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it’s so cold it probably won’t melt until August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had ‘to go’. By the time I got undressed, urinated and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he’s too busy. I think the scumbag is lying.

December 23: Only 2″ of snow today. And it warmed up to zero. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What, is she nuts?!!! Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she’s lying.

December 24: 6″ new snow. Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I’ll drag him out and pound him flat! I know that he waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I’ve just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the snowplow.

December 25: Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the blasted shit tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s an idiot. If I have to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” one more time, I’m going to kill her.

December 26: Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’ s really getting on my nerves.

December 27: Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, but at least it is too cold to snow!!!!!!!!

December 28: Warmed up to above -20, still can’t snow any more though…. IT SNOWED ANYWAY, and the HAG is driving me crazy!!!

December 29: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30: Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million dollars for the bump on his head. The wife went home to her mother. 9″ predicted for tonight.

December 31: Set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling!

January 8: I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me, but why am I tied to the bed?

This is a personal blog, and it spans over 14 years. You may see some cussing, ranting, a little weirdness and alot of stupidity. Oh, and whining.

Over the years I’ve used it to test things I maybe shouldn’t have messed with (innocent look), and I’ve tried to clean up but may have missed some stuff. You’ve been warned.
