I chose this avatar because it meets the height and width that's allowed. And yes,I'm a fan of Wizardmon and Sorcerymon.

Do you like it? Tell me what you think.

If I want to submit a lemon,or fanart,what would the best way be to do this?

What happened to the other board skins,and will they come back?

Could you remind me on the maxium height and width of avatars again?

Alright, let's start from the beginning, FALL 2007!

A pitiful attempt at a vampire TV series called....*slaps forehead* Moonlight debuts. What can I say about the show...it's horrible...it's terrible, it has the worst acting I have ever seen since Days of Our Lives and pornography. So bad I think Roger Ebert would be speechless! The story is a rip-off of a Canadian series and it got renewed for a second season.......Until the Writer's Strike happened....

CBS then canceled the show due to the critical backlash on it and now it is being replaced....

FALL 2008! A nice promising show that isn't CSI or Survivor by CBS comes along, and I'm proud to say that I like the show already, The Ex List, a show about a 30-something beautiful career woman who finds out that one of her long list of Ex-boyfriends is destined to be her soulmate, the catch, she has to find out who is the one within 1 year or else 'POOF' no soulmate forever.... It's a comedy, it's sweet, funny, NO hint of Charlie Sheen, Jeff Probst, Phil Keoghan, or some grizzly murder or crime, and stars Elizabeth Reaser who will be starring as Esme Cullen in Twilight opening November 21 (But opening in Christmas here in Singapore...<,< You Lucky Americans....) I was not paid for the advertising.

Now the thing that bugs me the most......The Moonlight fans are lashing out fast. Every site that has the mention of Moonlight has those idiotic believers to think 'Oh The Ex List is going to bomb, bring Moonlight back, BRING MOONLIGHT BACK BITCH!!' even on CBS' official Youtube channel, where some have said that they hate CBS FOREVER!! BLAH BLAH BLAH, they all go with their whining and crying and yatta yatta yatta. And to boot, every Moonlight comment has been deemed as both spam and with numerous thumbs down from many users.

GGGAAAAAHHHHH!!!! *Destroys a HD plasma TV with a sledgehammer*

.......I don't think there's going to be an end to it

Hey Everyone!

Let all wish Misty and Digi_Lord a very Happy Birthday on their special day! :D

*tosses up an armful of fallen, brightly colored maple leaves into the air*

(Heh...it's the first day of Autumn, too :P)

For over five years, I’ve been waiting for a new Metallica album to wash out the “St. Anger” taste. “Death Magnetic” is better than “St. Anger,” and it’s a good album for any other metal band, but for Metallica, for five years in the making, it’s disappointing.

1. That Was Just Your Life, 10/10: This is one of the fastest seven-minute songs I’ve ever heard, and easily the best song on the album and the best choice for an opener. It has a lot of cool hooks, breakdowns, etc. In making this album, I suspect that the band put more effort into this song than any of the others; that’s what it sounds like.
2. The End of the Line, 5/10: It starts off kind of okay, but then it goes into some bad territory. The whole song has a very sloppy feel to it.
3. Broken, Beat & Scarred, 5/10: This song has the same problem as a “St. Anger” song: It’s a four-minute song stretched to six and a half, very repetitive.
4. The Day That Never Comes, 8/10: There is a lot to like about this song: the opening, the shifts toward the end, the use of a lot of different familiar (circa 1988) elements. It gets marked down for the lyrics though, which as many have mentioned, are kindergartner level.
5. All Nightmare Long, 3/10: “Nightmare” and “Long”: the title tells you what to expect. This song is at about the level of the worst of “St. Anger.” Again, it’s a filler song stretched out way too far.
6. Cyanide, 7/10: This one has a lot of potential to grow on you on repeated listens, but it doesn’t immediately grab you as a standout track.
7. The Unforgiven III, 8/10: You could make an argument that “The Unforgiven II” was as good as the original, but you can’t say that for this sequel. Still, it’s not bad, and it has its moments, especially the bridge, which is about the same melody used for the original, but completely different instrumentally. It’s like the kind of thing you would expect a tribute band to do.
8. The Judas Kiss, 8/10: There are a lot of very catchy pieces to this song. It’s one of those songs that shouldn’t be good, but after you hear it, you think, “That was enjoyable.”
9. Suicide & Redemption, 4/10: As instrumentals go, this is probably Metallica’s worst ever. It’s not creative or shifty enough to stand on its own. Still, considering some of the lyrics on this album, an instrumental wasn’t such a bad idea.
10. My Apocalypse, 7/10: It’s a fast song; you have to give it that, and it’s the only one with a good length for radio without editing. It’s still a little too reminiscent of “St. Anger” in its straight aggressiveness without shifts or builds.

In general, they’re just not putting the same effort into their songs that they used to. It’s not just that there are no radio friendly songs, which isn’t necessarily a problem, it’s that what made Metallica great, the creative and intricate riffs and breakdowns, the decent (for a metal band) lyrics, the epic feel to big songs—it’s all lacking. If this was the attempt to return to “Master of Puppets” glory, as it was advertised months earlier, it’s just not going to happen ever again. As many reviewers have mentioned, the sound quality is also a problem. They just made it too loud. I checked on my Sony Sound Forge, and sure enough, solid blocks of blue, meaning serious sound clipping. Despite these problems, it’s an okay album with some good songs on it.

Just to announce the upgrade is done, the board successfully got upgraded from version 1.4.1 to version 1.4.2, it was a security update and the Admin CP was bugging to update it so I did it and nothing failed except for a bug that duplicated some of the settings options on the admin cp but that can be fixed easily with the settings editor, nothing serious at all :)

Since my thread was eaten I'm making a new one.

Early September 15th, 2008 my brother who was battling Lymphoma cancer passed away. I just got home today from Houghton Lake where we had his funeral where we had it.

I recently got a new coffeemaker, to replace my equally new, but roach attractant Coffeemaker.

When I left for San Antonio, I made a pot that morning, and nothing was wrong with it. When we got back, Tuesday, I was in desperate need of a coffee fix. So I made a pot.

It took forever, like the water pump is clogged. Not only that, it makes it so much stronger, and there is so little coffee produced.

It reminds me of an old Jodie from ROTC:

"...they say in the army, the coffee's mighty fine, it looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine..."

I can't figure it out. I've washed out the resevoir and the lift assembly thoroughly. The only thing left for me to do to it, is to disassemble it, and run a q-tip through the water pump.

The make of my old coffeemaker is Hamilton Beach Brewmaster, the kind that you just press your mug against. It's a great coffeemaker, but, it attracts bugs like nobodies business.

My new coffeemaker is a Black & Decker. I used to love it. But, now, I don't know.

Is this just a dirty coffeemaker, or should I dig out that receipt?

Should I run the risk of losing parts, and disassemble it to clean it out?

Or should I whip out the sealant, and try and seal the old maker from the bugs?

I wanna know. And I want my coffee.
