The Happening was a fantastic movie.

Easily on par with Lady in the Water.

EASILY ON PAR WITH LADY IN THE WATER.

I wish I was as cool as Chef Paul Prudhomme.

Two great things Chef Paul Prudhomme has done in his life:

1. Invented turducken.

2. Deflected bullet.

The most recent Smash Bros/Exercise Medley Life Challenge went pretty well.

Updates on the website.

The new top 10 list:

1st. Alexander-929
2nd. Outcry-836
3rd. Vexxi-767
4th. Boogich-710
5th. Nicole-616
6th. Broken-608
7th. Athena-595
8th. Rangod-567
9th. Bidoof-550
10th. Otsp-533

A bunch of people are having trouble with the next date so I'll probably move it back a week. Facebook invites to be sent out in the near future.

LIFE CHALLENGE UPDATE

For a multitude of reasons, this upcoming Life Challenge is going to be rescheduled for Thursday, March 20th. Still 7:00, my house.

See you then.

My mother was just interviewed by The School of Russian and Asian Studies.

This is really cool.

Also, about half way down there's a picture of my parents at about my age. I can't get over how much of a hardass my father looks in the picture.

(He's the one on the left.)

I was on the computer just now when my mouse froze and the computer started screaming robot/ghost howls at me.

I turned the speakers off but the noises didn't stop.

I am. . .terrified?

I coughed so hard I puked.

Gu~rossssss

The next 3 Life Challenges:

March 1st, 7:00PM.
Eating Contest/Fashion Contest
Show up at Cici's dressed as flatteringly as possible. Votes will be cast on people's outfits and pizza will be consumed in a competitive manner.

March 15th, 7:00PM
Smash Bros Brawl/Fitness Challenge
Get ready for push ups and pretending to make Nintendo characters punch each other, because these are things that will be happening tonight.

March 29th, 7:00PM
Dodgeball/Math Test
This is a high school themed night. People will throw balls a lot, and then realize they don't remember how to do semi-simple math AT ALL.

Nobody really seemed to think weekday matches were convenient, so we're not doing them any more. If any of these days turn out to be on the days of other big events they will be shifted around.

Also, the website is up-ish. You all should go there. I just grabbed random photos off people's myspaces, so if you have one you'd rather I used just send it to me. If you don't have a picture there, then I need one from you.

Only a few challenges have happened so far, so don't be disheartened if your score is low. Once we run tests on all the attributes I think people are going to even out a lot more.

BOWLING & PRISONER'S DILEMMA TONIGHT AT BOARDWALK BOWL

7:00PM, as always. I'll see you all there.

Bring cameras!

7:00PM, my house, Chess and Luck Tournament

Be there.

Also, if you have a chess board bring it. I'll be providing as many as I can.

If you don't know where I live, IM me at OtspIII or email me at otspiii@gmail.com

AN UPDATE ON THE DATES OF THE LIFE CHALLENGE

Multiple people have had trouble making the challenge on the 19th, so the Saturday challenge has been pushed back a week. Additionally, the challenges have been swapped. The new schedule is:

Wednesday, January 23rd. 7:00 PM
Robomind: Chess
Wizardry: Luck Variety-Challenge

Saturday, January 26th. 7:00PM
Sportiness: Bowling
Cunning: Prisoner's Dilemma

Sorry for any confusion.

THE FIRST TWO LIFE CHALLENGES
THE FIRST TWO LIFE CHALLENGES WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE FOLLOWING DATES:

Saturday, January 19th. 7:00PM
Robomind: Chess
Wizardry: Luck Variety-Challenge

Wednesday, January 23rd. 7:00 PM
Sportiness: Bowling
Cunning: Prisoner's Dilemma

In the future these will be spread out more evenly, but I wanted to make sure everyone would have at least two weeks before the first challenge.

Everyone who can should bring cameras and video cameras. Pictures will be posted, and if I can get enough footage I'd like to put summaries up on Youtube of each challenge. I'd like these dates to stay firm, but if an especially large number of people can't make one of them they are a little flexible.

Locations will be posted as we near the dates.

Rules of the Great Life Challenge
The last attempt at the Great Life Challenge was overly complicated and un-runnable. This time around things have been streamlined significantly.

Twice a month there will be a gathering where two challenges will take place, once on a Wednesday and once on a Saturday. After this month the challenges will be announced a month in advance, to give people time to prepare/train.

Each challenge will test one of your essential attributes. Each attribute will have 6 challenges associated with it, 3 held on Wednesdays and 3 on Saturdays. To qualify to be The Grand Life Winner you need to show up to only 2 of these 6. If you participate in 4, however, you may drop your lowest score, and at 6 you may drop your two lowest.

The GLC will take place over the course of a year, beginning January 2008 and ending December 2008. At the end of the year a Grand Life Winner will be announced, accompanied by the Masters of the eight essential attributes. There will be trophies.

For reference, the eight essential attributes are as follow: Burning Passion, Wizardry, Artfulness, Cunning, Robomind, Video Games, Meat Power, and Sportiness. More on those later.

SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

SHOW UP ON THE TWO APPOINTED DATES EVERY MONTH AND GET READY TO BATTLE!

And really, that's all you need right now. Dates and further information to follow shortly.

A new year is upon us, and with it comes new responsibilities, new challenges.

Questions arise. Which one of us is the best? Who among us do the
Great Wizards smile upon most dearly? Who is the most brave? The
Most cunning?

This is the year that these questions will be answered. The heavens
will tremble and a million angels will wail the names of the fallen.
The greatest among us will be chosen and upon his head will be laid a
mighty crown.

2008 is the year of The Great Life Challenge.

Current Mood: wizardly

I have such a hard on for theoretical architecture.

I want to have a heterosexual threesome with Larry Niven and Tsutomu Nihei.

This has been an uncomfortably sessile week for me.

So I have a new phone, courtesy of Laura.

My SIM card works fine in it, but all the numbersI had stored in my phone itself (so I could attach people's pictures to them) are gone.

Basically, if we're friends and we hang out I need your phone number again.

ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT.

I'm holding a wizard party on the 29th to celebrate my birthday. It is going to be fantastic and you should all show up.

More on this later.
