O'Hurley

Yes, it's true. I've been playing a lot of World of Warcraft. But really I can't use that as my excuse for not posting. A look back at the history of this blog shows many gaps, so really, it's just because I'm lazy.

WoW. Taylor and I play pretty much every night for a few hours. So far it's been very enjoyable. People complain about having to pay a monthly fee to play, but I think I'm getting my fifteen bucks worth. Wednesday night we've been playing with Richard and Jerry and it's been very cool to spend man night time with Richard again. It took a while, but virtual man night appears to finally be here. It's also been interesting to watch the human drama unfold since this is a game you play with other human beings and certain things require cooperation with those other people. Maybe I'll post some screen shots once I figure out how to do that.

The rest of my time during the week has been spent at work, and using Netflix. Work is busy since we are trying to finish the project we are working on. It's pretty exciting that we are almost finished and I can't wait till I can link to a news article about what we have done. Should be soon. Netflix has been working well for us. We finished the first season of Arrested Development and are one disc into the second season of Scrubs. You've really never watched a comedy until you've watched one with someone who falls off the couch laughing. We watched Bridget Jones' Diary to finish of the British movie list so we then moved to France starting with Phantom of the Opera. Les Mis is next followed by Amelie.

We saw the new Pirates with a group at the Pflug last weekend. It was OK, not great. Nothing compared to the original. The plot wasn't as tight and the jokes seemed to just rehash jokes from the first movie. Here's hoping the third one is better.

I watched most of the 3rd round and all of the 4th round of the Open Championship. The 3rd round was not at all what I expected. The leaders just couldn't get anything going and it took Garcia and Furyk to make things interesting. Then Sunday Garcia falls apart and its a battle between Woods and DiMarco. Els seemed to hang in there but never make a push. It was fun to see Woods rise to the challenge and beat off DiMarco. When he's good, he's really good, and enjoyable to watch.

Looking foward to: work slowing down, more Netflix, Port Aransas, Europe!
