Palin Contradicts McCain On Pakistan, Seems To Back Obama’s Position


Soldier's Mother "Ecstatic" about Obama's Bracelet
She criticized Internet reports that suggested Obama exploited her son for political purposes. She acknowledges e-mailing the campaign in February asking that Obama not mention her son in speeches or debates. But she says Obama's mention on Friday was appropriate because he was responding after Senator John McCain said a soldier's mother gave him a bracelet.

Gaming
I started playing Warhammer on this one server, but I've found the low population
causing some RVR/PVP game issues. I started a new character on the Averheim server.
Averheim has a High population server with a pretty good balance from what I've seen.
It looks like having a low population on a server can really effect the PVP/RVR gameplay.
Started a Black Orc Tank this time because I enjoy the abuse.

Warhammer Redux
I've been fighting with Blogger again, I had to change my FTP server for some reason. Having the www. at the beginning was causing a java.net error. Last weekend they changed their IP address for publishing so it needed to be added to the host.allow

I went AFK for the weekend, visiting my family & and we all went to the Common Ground Fair. I canceled my Warhammer Pre-Order a few weeks ago, but changed my mind over the weekend. I decided to play the bad guys like I wanted to all along, earlier I was concerned with the imbalance issues playing Destruction (Bad Guys) would have. In most games the good guys are the most popular side, but the Warhammer pre-order fans more often chooses to play Destruction (Bad Guys) over Order (Good Guys). Since Warhammer is so Player Verses Player based having imbalances can cause alot of issues on the server. I decided to player Destruction, because thats what I want to play all along and I'll let EA/Mythic worry about the balance issues. I leveled up a Destruction Greenskin Shaman to Level 7 Last night. Having gone up against a few of them before, I knew how evil and fun they would be. The server I am on seems a little empty, but I was still having lots of fun.

Lets see, I patched Spore and Burnout Paradise and Warhammer Online last night.
Installed the Perfect World MMO on my PC and Mercenaries 2 Demo on my PS3.
I made several creatures in Spore and played around with PS3 Life. I tried out the
new motorcycles in Burnout and tried to load Mainich Issy with no luck.
Played a Black Orc on Warhammer Online servers, but I read people without the
inbox game code will be be blocked tonight. I cancelled my pre-order over a week ago.
I have such mixed feelings about that game.

Spore Gets DRM Loosening Update Soon

I went a bit Spore mad last night making creatures. I have around 240
creations online currently. I was inspired by the fact the the creatures that get
downloaded into my game are pretty crappy. I am very picky about what style
of creatures are in my game. I really don't like the cartoony or just poorly designed
creatures that seem to be showing up online. The game now has over 20 MILLION creations online.

With all this media coverage lately I was asked to explain the term GILF to someone.

Urban Dictionary: GILF
I honestly think the MILF/GILF a complement, and not disparaging.
The I in it does necessarily have to mean me, or the person who says it.
I think it's just like saying someone is sexy/hot, only much funnier.

Megyn Price MILF role in "Grounded for Life" immediately comes to mind.
