Christmas day fun

It's Saturday and i'm working so i thought i would stop for a moment and ask; What comes to mind when you think of Warhammer Online besides just the actual game? A specific race? A youtube video? Bastion Stair? CTD (hope not!!)?

For some reason, when i hear someone outside of work mention the game, I think of the shows i went to this summer. And sometimes i think of chef Boyardee cups of ravioli because i ate lots of them out of the machines here.

If nothing really comes to mind, then what reminds you of Warhammer Online when you see it? When i see white sunglasses or a bottle of Verve Clicquot, i think about the game. Chunky Cambells will soon be in that category, as there are many cans sitting on my desk to replace the ravioli i ate too much of.

The other night I tried these:
Hair-- Mayonnaise
Skin-- 1 egg, oatmeal, 1-tsp olive oil, lemon juice
Lips-- sugar, 1-tsp olive oil

Result:
I loved the after effects of the mayo and the lip mixture. My hair actually felt soft and i licked my lips a LOT as they were very exfoliated and soft. I didn't have any bad result with the skin mixture, but it's difficult to see results right away with those. I would use it again, but it was a little watery, i think i would use dry oatmeal instead of cooked next time, and i would mix the egg first and use less of it.

Last night i tried a mixture of:
Honey(1-oz)
Dry Oatmeal
Olive Oil (1-oz)
Vitamin E (one big drop)
Pumpkin from a can (about 2-oz)

It was a bit firmer of a mixture but it could have used a bit less pumpkin, it was still a bit runny. It was very sticky after it started drying. I left it on about a half hour then used warm water to rinse it off. It did feel so very nice after, though. I didn't need moisturizer before going to bed.

The second thing i tried last night was for my pimples (oh i h8 them!):
Instant Coffee (1-oz)
Salt (a lot)
Hot water

Mix it well then use a cotton ball and hold it on the spot for a few moments. I didn't wash the excess salt off, just left it on and washed it off in the morning. I'll see if this works, the salt and caffein are supposed to dry out blemishes and help reduce red spots. I'll be trying this every night this week so i am not able to give any report on this yet.

OK, off to take a nap now then to Karaoke with Jenny and Crystal!

I wanted to get a facial the other day. The cheapest one i could find was for $100, a bit too much for me right now. So I talked to the lady that waxes me, she's an esthetician and she said that most of the facial products she uses were organic, she uses pumpkin, strawberries, honey, etc. I scoured the internet looking for homemade spa recipes and found a few i wanted to try. I'm going ton attempt to document over the next few weeks, what i use, and see if they are going to work. You know, lower blemishes and make my skin glow. Also, if anyone reading this happens to have any recipes of their own, please share.

Tonight:
Hair-- Mayonnaise
Skin-- 1 egg, oatmeal, 1-tsp olive oil, lemon juice
Lips-- sugar, 1-tsp olive oil

So in short we just keep partying.
Sunday was the CE launch day. At 11:50 everyone was at there desks or running to them ready to hit that enter button to jump in game. QA was nuts! There was silence for about 5 mins when everyone was loading. Then you would here "There's no one here".... then out of no where you started hearing "Give me back my barrel!!" "That little snot stole my Dark Sprite!"(that was me playing my Archmage) and "Where did ALL these people come from." I swear it was like christmas day at Macy's in the starting zones. I have seen many, many beta's go up but this was like nothing i had seen before. We were behaving like children who saw someone else playing with OUR toy! It was such an amazing experience. Loading into the first scenario with no one higher than level 3. Ah, it was great!

So, then came Wednesday night. The OFFICIAL launch night (party 1). I made a cake that evening after work. It was red with the WAR symbol, home made goodness. At about 11pm some champaign was bought and I entered the 2nd floor. We have a tiny little official QA fridge, i opened it and it was overflowing with more champaign bottles and beer. There was lots of running around, giggling, and on the 8th floor was lots of masculine drinking of Johnny Walker Blue label. I got to poke my head into Rob Denton's office where there was a toast going on and I was offered some verve clicquot, YUM! I quickly left because the power in that room was overwhelming. It was filled to the brim with Paul Barnett, Jeff Hickman, Mark Jacobs, Josh Drescher, Justin Webb, and Collin Shannon, just to name a few. So, back down to the 2nd floor I went.
QA was standing around with glasses in the air making all kinds of silly toasts. Of course House of Pain was played and after a short stint of saying how great we all were we went to one of our EA break rooms that are loaded with EA toys to play some American Idol (because it was too late to go Karaoke). It was a blast.

Launch Day (party 2) was held that next afternoon in the parking lot. An enormous white tent was set up and filled with tables, food, and beer. There was a group picture taken from the roof of the building as we attempted to make a feeble WAR symbol with over 300 people. I had the pleasure of shaving Randy's head. He has been growing his hair since the day he started working for mythic 3 years ago. There are videos of that somewhere. I could describe it but, well, it's a must see. We also received our own copy of the CE's and even more T-shirts. They love giving us T-shirts. I'm trying to push for girl tanks. Paul has been helpful in the quest to get T-shirts for girls, he had some baby doll shirts made for a hand full of us. So sweet of him. Anyways, the party was a huge success. Everyone was happy. The Collector Edition boxes that we received were passed around like year books. Everyone signing everyone else's. Mark, Jeff, Paul, and all the big guys seemed very happy and relaxed for the first time in a really long time.

There is another party tomorrow night and an 'official' one will be held in a few weeks. So i must do more party clothes shopping. Loving all that over time pay now!

oh yeah, for the first time in months i have a weekend!!! I don't know what to do with myself. Two days off? in a row??
