Darth Squeaker - Ramblings Of An Misunderstood Scientist

Cards, swimming and fishies...

Right, so I didn't quite make it on Wednesday or Thursday(Or Friday or Saturday or Sunday for that matter) to update, but at least I am updating it now, see? Yay!

Anyway, I had a busy day on Thursday, went out to watch Finding Nemo with the APSC R&W group. Quite a funny movie, if you're free and have nothing to do, then you should go watch it, but you're not really missing out on anything if you don't. I also caught the trailer to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen there. It looked absolutely fantastic! Sean Connery makes an excellent Allan Quatermain, if I do say so myself. However, I thought Mina Harker was the leader of the team... not Allan Quatermain. And... she wasn't a Vampire, as far as I know of. Well, either way, I can't wait to for it to come out here. It's already out in the States, ARGH! I wonder if James Moriarty will still be the villain, I thought it was quite funny when it turned out to be him in the end.

So, after the movie, I rushed over to Specialist Centre... only to find out that the tourney was at Midpoint Orchard. Grr... and it was raining quite heavily, didn't help the the wind was so strong I had to struggle to hold on to the Umbrella. After I got there, we had to wait for Byron's friends to turn up to. So, while they said it's start at 6, it only got going at 7. Did quite badly, though. Lost three games of four. I did start out very badly though, first game against Ewan. Thanks A LOT , guys... After having lost, what? 7 of 7 games to Ewan before, it's not the best thing to begin the first game with him. Then, the next game I won, but then, the other player was a newbie, so... it was kinda expected. The third game was against Elwyn!! Argh! What was with my luck that day?! Curse it!! And the last game, I got a really bad, bad hand, or I might have won. But either way, it was a very tight hand and he got a really good hand. He said so himself. So, I was 5 of 8 in the tourney, but now I'm tied 4th in the WHOLE of Singapore!! Mwahahahaha! Okay, okay, so it's not good, everyone else is fourth, only first, second and third get extra points, but still, I'm better than those 3 who don't have points! Mwahahahaha! So, I'm being evil, so sue me.

Played a bit of Hackmaster with the guys on Sunday, didn't quite turn out so well, the critical hit system needs a lot of getting used to. But then, so does almost everything else in the game. The only saving grace is that it's very close to the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons system.

Finally, yesterday's meet. Didn't quite do so well. Was very, very, very tired after the 200 Back, for which I don't think I preformed that well either. I think my strokes weren't too good. So, I'll probably work on that the next time. Probably work on my Breaststroke too, that really stunk during the IM.

One last thing, I forgot to mention it in my last blog entry, but does anyone know why Manny Calavera had to work off time at the DoD? When he talked to Domino, he said he had no idea why, maybe it was mentioned somewhere in the game and I missed out?
