I went to SWERVE driving school. Now, where can I take you?

[sarea]

I saw the worst/best name for a driving school today. At first I couldn't believe it was a driving school -- but it was, proudly emblazoned on advertising all over the car. It was called SWERVE. Seriously, who thought that would be a good name for a driving school? Would you send your kids there? Gave me a good giggle anyway.

Finally took Talis to the vet yesterday, and he has been cleared for travel. Since we were there, I had the vet look at his left eye, which has a weird opaque mark on it. It looks like a small bubble in plastic wrap that hasn't been smoothed out. She used some sort of staining agent and then a blacklight, and was able to determine that it wasn't a cut (whew!). Apparently, Talis is SO MISTRUSTFUL that he literally sleeps with one eye open. Not fully open, just a slit -- which is why that mark is there in the middle of his eye. So he has a dehydrated eye (not unlike Charlotte's depressed vagina). I am now required to put this ointment on his eye -- yes, right on the eyeball! -- twice a day. You can imagine how popular I am with the canine contingent of my house these days.

The other thing I forgot to say about "Narnia" is that now I know, vaguely, what a WoW movie would look like. Strangely enough, I've never really thought about it before. But when I saw the Tauren it all became freakishly clear. If a WoW movie were to be made, Jennifer Garner so needs to be a NE rogue.

All right, so you all know by now that I am enamored of World of Warcraft, right? Well, I have a guest pass key if anyone is interested in trying it out. Unfortunately you'd have to find your own way of getting the game installed (I'm supposed to lend my 'guest' my CDs to install the game, but I am so not doing that for anyone whose house I couldn't drive to within 20 minutes so I can pound on their front door and obsessively demand the return of the CDs). HOWEVER, I also have rebate coupons from Blizzard to give to friends to make it so that the game only costs $19.99 (I paid $50 -- OH I'M BITTER). Everything expires the first of the year, so I probably should have been more diligent about pimping this stuff earlier, but oh well. Anyway, the guest pass key is YFNP8TRFC2F278NHPZJK8FC9JC -- good for a 10-day trial. I'm pretty sure it can be used multiple times.

Lastly, many happy birthday wishes to noelleleithe!

There's a driving school down here called the 911 Driving School.

But I think I like Swerve better :)

Trial Code

You know, "trial code" is just corporate speak for "the first hit is free". Shame on you! >_<

(and BTW, no WoW for me this week - I really want to, but job is killing me >_< On the other side, more money, the faster I get a bigger computer with decent graphic card)

(OMG, I'm using a game as a reason to get a bigger and expensive piece of computer hardware. I've ascended to a new status of geekdom. I rule!)

What? If I have to be on Warcrack it's only right that other people are too!! Though the worst part is, a co-worker is interested. I don't know if I should be mixing work with pleasure. That never pans out well.

No worries, I have like a zillion other chars to play. It's alt-itis. You might be lucky enough to escape it. :p

And I'm already on that boat with you -- I totally got a new computer so that I could play this game. It's so wrong.

If it makes you feel any better, I got the trial code stuff after you had already purchased yours, or I would have said something earlier! I'm like, can I refer myself as a new client if I cancel my account? :p

I hope your job slows down soon. Being killed by a job is never a good thing. :-S

By the by, recent issues of Maxim and FHM have included a trial DVD and code with them.

Tell folk to buy the mag, then you give them your code. ;)

We're keeping at least one of our DVDs from the magazines, because, REINSTALL! No having to swap CDs!
