Over half way through the last Harry Potter book. Depending on if Katie let’s me… I’ll bet I can finish it up in a couple more nights. Don’t hold me to that!

Dragon Festival “Demon”

Dragon Festival "Demon"

Originally uploaded by FlipSide3.

Over the weekend Guild Wars held another Dragon Festival. Last year the festival took place as a run up to the release of Nightfall (the last campaign), so they had the festival be invaded by demons. This was as a precursor to all the nastiness to come in the campaign.

Well in the progression of the overall story arc of Guild Wars the Nightfall campaign has been completed so the demons have all gone away (sort of). So this years Dragon Festival was invaded by actors playing “demons” (see the picture) which is kinda a neat trick. Made the little missions and tasks funnier this time around.

Got my new demon mask for my troubles, didn’t actually make it to the festival last year so I missed out on last years dragon mask. Had a lot of fun. It’s great that ArenaNet continues to provide additional content like this too keep things interesting.

I managed to finish up the last campaign in Guild Wars a little while ago. That clears me up for the new expansion due out at the end of August. There’s still plenty to do in the game, but getting through the main storyline was one of the major things I wanted to complete.

It would still have been great if I had bought the first game right when it was released, instead of waiting about a half a year. I didn’t even get the next campaign right away either, which also looks foolish in hindsight. Then again I really didn’t know I’d get into it so fully, now did I?

We spent most of the 4th down in Granbury at my Grandparents house. Good food, nice view (they live on the lake), and fun with the family. Katie crawled all over the place, which is normal.

It wore me out and I had to take a nap when I got home. Naps are wonderful things. Bridget would have liked one too, but since Katie slept on the way home she wasn’t about to let both of us sleep.

Thank you my wonderful wife for letting me sneak away for a bit!

“Even Richard Nixon knew it was time to resign”

My wife hates it when I post political stuff, but Keith Olbermann sums up what I’m feeling right now. I wish I could count on my Congressional Representative to do the right thing… but I can’t.

From digg:
From Iraq to Scooter Libby, Bush and Cheney have broken America’s trust and stabbed this nation in the back. It is time for them to go.
