G.R.A.W. map pack 2

Today we're releasing more information about the GRAW PC Map Pack #2. See below for 2 screenshots, each detailing a new game mode that will be added with the map pack. Additionally, this map pack will implement the death cam, a feature showing you how you died and who shot you. This pack is still in development, aiming for a release at the end of July or beginning of August.

sweet!

bravo, EU

brain dump

most of last week is a blank.. so, the weekend! friday-, bday, clerks2, hairscut, zonk out, then omgcrazy cna lady calls at quarter to saturday.. sat- scope out another dude's accessible house, test drive a car i'm probly gonna buy, fast burrito!, pick up supplies/ completely shut down into food coma halfway thru jewel.. schedule tv repair guy, halo?, field cancellations for sun and find people online.. wide awake til 4am+ is getting far too normal. sunday- zombify thru the morning, make unnecessary calls, partypartykidsfamilyomgwtf, BBQ- too much food as usual, ends at 630?! must be a record. make calls for stuff left here. stuffed. pass out. 4400, more furni shopping [GET MORE STUFF AUNTIES FROM PHILIPPINES IN NEXT WEEKEND OMG], exercise in futility somewhat.. nothing at ikea?? [onlie anyway.. 2007 products in store, but dont wanna go in blind.] burger at 1130p, bad idea. play surf stop- plan monday.. watch in horror as the list i'm writing out gets longer and longer.
still cant sleep. ding! 4am.

ok, he isn't my first choice in music to listen to, but due to the matter of the previous post, i *had* do it:

Ostensibly, Timberlake is no longer courting the teenybopper set. But it would be impossible for him to strip the mall gene from his creative DNA, as evidenced by the sleek, S&M-referencing "SexyBack." The collaboration with Timbaland, which was shipped to radio about a week ago, goes for an edgier sound but is still aimed squarely at middlebrow American taste.

ok.. i couldn't do anything witty with nelly furtado's name.. but how about timbaland lake here? timberlakeland? overextension of your own brand?
yeahh anyway.. maybe i should *hear* it before i pass judgement.. i've seen it out there, just haven't been compelled to acquire. i'm getting to be an ornery old man i guess ;)

canucks

she really needs to get away from the heavier hip-hop influences she found in timbaland [who *is* talented in himself, i just don't like this particular pairing].. just going acoustic makes this song miles better.. this and that 'crazy' cover.. has me highly anticipating her *next* album.
[got it on mp3 too..]

why can't people just get their facts straight?

words cannot express adequately my feelings

misinformed idiotic office-stealing/nepotistic power mad imperialist pig bible thumping yokel cowboy 'democracy' warmongering fucking asshat.
feel free to add your own.
I mean really. I bet he's sitting in his office prouder than a toddler who just learned to go potty. 'look papa, I done used my first veto!'
nevermind the fact that he's running a go-nowhere war against a nonspecific entity where our own are getting needlessly injured and killed. Let's top that off by killing a whole entire wing effectively disabling any new development in a field of research that if implemented that would do no harm* and only give hope in the short term, and maybe eventually cures to a multitude of infirmities- potentially even helping those getting injured in your war.
*it's the future, get with it. Unused embryos are just that, unused. They may have HAD the *potential* for life, fine. But if the decision has been made that they won't be used and are heading for the dumpster anyway, why not put them to good use. It's a cluster of cells doing nothing. No murder there. I'm willing to bet you lose more functional cells drinking a couple of beers [more functional, meaning BOTH # of cells AND more useful there in context]. There's already headway in the stem cell field.. mostly in other countries, where more open-minded individuals make the decisions. And this is just allowing the US to fall even further behind in the scientific research field as well- American born and bred researchers, the brainiest of the brainy, are leaving the US to be allowed to study their field.. Wasn't the US founded on people leaving at fault of a closed-minded government disagreeing with their beliefs? Decisions like this on top of his ill-conceived No Child Left Behind act are ensuring the US brain-drain will only continue, perhaps even at an accelerated pace looking toward the future thanks to nclb and its backward effects. And it's a damn shame congress probably won't have to override the veto.. but it doesn't matter. It ALL doesn't matter to him. Every hot-button issue such as this [see also: gay marriage] are just pawns in his chess pieces in the game of checkers that is his office.. others feel the same way I do. It's been too many years of wrong decision after wrong decision with this puppet monkey. At least there's the two-term limit.. But I sure as hell feel sorry for the next guy; gonna have a hell of a time cleaning up the mess he's been left.

Rocketboom: Losing the Boom

Rocketboom, the most popular video blog covering internet news, has let go its charismatic star anchorwoman Amanda Congdon. She has posted her own video giving information on what happened on her own "Unboomed" website. I'm hoping she gets going with her own thing; her writing, performances, and personality were the best part of the show.
