my life as i know it, is over

so i took a half day off today to recover from my extended weekend a few days ago. i took friday thru monday off to enjoy an extended weekend and ended up getting food poisioning on friday night only to be sick all weekend long and totally fuck up my anniversary dinner i had planned at jack in the box with my girlfriend. she was all kinds of pissed. i'd been promising her a sourdough jack for months now and the smell of that grease made me wanna spill the steak tartar i'd eaten the night before...

so, anyway, i took the afternoon off to fuck off and enjoy the beautiful weather we're having here in dallas and discovered that my all time favorite pc game has released the beta of their newest phase in the family of crack-like addicting games, Tribes Vengeance. so i downloaded the beta and got online and realized that i'm gonna have to call in sick tomorrow cause i think i feel that food poisioning coming back. thank god i laid out the groundwork for being sick at work this morning, so now i have an excuse to not shower tomorrow. if you are a fan of tribes, you can grab the beta right here and play the three maps they have running right now. Vengeance is being done by a completely different company than the first two games and i think with some tweaking of this one, it could be as good as the original. great graphics, nice online play and i even hear they have a full single player campaign this time around to give us a storyline to follow. i'm not sure that i really care about a storyline when i'm mortaring the shit outta the other teams base while my buddy swipes their flag, but who knows, it could be a lot of fun. they've reinstated skiing for the game. they even assigned it its own key this time around. it's intentional. with that being said, i'm off to serve a coupla disk sammiches to some punk trying to capture my base.
