  I can haz return?

  I love using the random spellings of words for blog titles. It makes them seem like so much more fun.
  
  Anyway, if you can't tell already, I am back from work and the mini-vacation. The non-work portion was fun, and involved myself, my brother, a few friends, drinking, his 21st birthday, more drinking, a trip to San Francisco, more drinking, eating, and yet more drinking. Birthday celebrations are grand!
  
  Speaking of which, tomorrow, I actually get to celebrate my birthday. It's only a week late, but hey, it's better than not celebrating!
  
  In gaming news, I downloaded the demo of Star Wars: Force Unleashed. Amazing. I've played through at least 5 times, and I want more NOW! Still working on getting myself more time to game, but it seems that's not going to happen for a little while longer. I'm still not making any purchases in order to get ready for Star Wars and Lego Batman, both of which come out next month.
  
  So, I have returned, and I bring modlings! It seems we have some new mods running around, which is always nice. I shall do my best to haze them relentlessly, and teach them the ways of the force...Congrats to you guys and gals!

  Ahh the wonders of work

  We all will eventually have it, a job is needed to survive. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, and they are extremely flexible, but today, it pissed me off.
  
  Just a little background on my job first. I am a Senior Network Admin, as well as Project Manager for a computer company here in San Diego. We do lots of work around the country as well, which is where some of our contracts take us. There's one in Phoenix that 2 of my people have been working on for about a year. Well, today, they ****ed up so incredibly bad that I have to fly there at 5am tomorrow and fix it. I'll be in Phoenix from tomorrow until Friday.
  
  Now, normally that wouldn't piss me off, BUT, Thursday is my birthday. We had the party bus set up, 27 of my friends confirmed for a night of celebration.....NOT! So much for that plan. I will now be spending my birthday with myself, in a hotel, in Phoenix, where I know noone. Yay....

  Ahh the Ice theme...where have you gone?

  So, I'm not one to complain usually, unless something really stands out and is worth mentioning. Well, as you all know, Gamespot rolled out their site update yesterday. I'd have to say that I like most of the changes. A few of them bug me, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. One thing that really stands out is the mini-feed. If they switched the tracked blogs with the mini-feed, and collapsed blogs like when the beta was first released, profiles would look way better. I'm more interested in reading blogs from people, not seeing who uploaded images.
  
  Anyway, the real reason for this blog is because well, looks like we aren't getting an ice theme. Mailer made this topic about ice, and Don has stated that there is not plans to roll out a theme for us. I accept all the changes they have made as part of the site update, and it will take some time to get used to, but not having an ice theme? Come on. I've used ice for the entire time I've been here, and it looks amazing. How can you get rid of such a great feature? It makes no sense to me.
  
  So, I ask you to go post in that thread, add links to your sigs, blog it, do whatever you like (no breaking the ToU ) to get people to notice that we would like the ice theme back!
