I joined a great guild of mainly south africans and we have had a TON of laughs and good times, but like any game I&#8217;m starting to feel quite &#8220;meh&#8221; about it. So yesterday I downloaded the free trial for <a href=\"http:\/\/everquest2.station.sony.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Everquest II<\/a> (EQ2) and decided to give it a go.   This is my temporary character (Breigh) for the 7 day trial.<\/p>\n<p>I still need to play it for a while to know if I really like it though. At the moment the newness alone is enough to win me over from the monotony of raiding in WoW.<br \/>\nToday I had yet another appointment at the hospital for the end of my folikelmeting. I had another ultrasound and more bloodwork but really have no more insight into what is going on with me fertility-wise. I have an appointment with my fertility specialist on June 16th though, so maybe I will learn more then.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost 2 lbs in the past week but not through any serious effort. I&#8217;ve just tried to be a little more active in hopes of gradually creating a lifestyle change. I have shitall willpower and I know that if I go too drastic all at once it will make me nutty. I figure 1-2 lbs a week over the period of a year should make a big difference&#8230; slow and steady!<\/p>\n<p>Went to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0382625\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Da Vinci Code<\/a> this past weekend. I now get what a friend of mine meant when he said Tom Hanks wasn&#8217;t very &#8220;Tom Hanksy&#8221; in this movie&#8230; but shit, does he look great with the longer hair! Getting sidetracked&#8230; The movie was -OK- at best. There were about three spots towards the end of the movie that I thought it was over, but then wasn&#8217;t. I read the book and loved it, and maybe that&#8217;s part of why the movie disappointed \/ bored me, but in any case&#8230; it did. If you haven&#8217;t gone to the theater to see it yet, don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s a renter. Better yet, read the book! That&#8217;s the only true way to get the Da Vinci Code experience!<\/p>\n<p>I want to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0409182\/\" target=\"_blank\">Poseidon<\/a> but have been advised that like the Da Vinci Code, it&#8217;s one you&#8217;re better off downloading or renting. Has anyone seen it that truly enjoyed it and thinks it is better viewed in the theater? If not I&#8217;m going to download it.<\/p>\n<p>What is it with all these movies lately? Da Vinci Code, X-Men 3, and now possibly Poseidon&#8230; so much hype and so disappointing. Bleh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EQ2 Breigh Originally uploaded by Breigh.com.
