It is SHO CYUTE!:

Ross and I decided to give SWTOR (aka Sweater, according to Pip!) a try the other night. We finally got a VPN installed and I was FINALLY able to access an English version of the EA and Origins sites. (They will automatically re-direct you depending on your IP address location and will not offer alternative language options...)

We select the standard online download edition and begin putting our credit card information in. Which is when all the trouble starts. Ross's goes through just fine without a blip, but mine comes back with a "Payment Authorization Failed."

I read a post on Facebook today that just struck me as completely selfish. The posting was in regards to a fitness center closure from the evening of 24 Dec - 26 Dec and again over New Year's. Someone posted that the facility should just stay open.

Do they not realize that the people running the facility are human beings and would love more than anything some time off to take a breather, enjoy being with family, etc?

My hubby and I just got "permanent" internet installed. (Yay, fiber optic!) While the techs were there, I tried it out on our new laptop which runs Windows 7. I have a guest account so I can't view all the options for Internet Connections, but I pulled up Google Chrome and we had success. I then signed off of the Guest account to view the signal strength. (It shows up on the account sign in page.) After noting that it was "strong," I signed back into my account.

I guess it's my turn to make a little post about my adventures with Skyrim. I've really enjoyed this game so far, despite a few setbacks, bouts of confusion, and character restarts.

I know I'm a bit late for this bandwagon, but I've been popping open my Dragon Age: Origins case and slashing away at some ogres and werewolves lately on the PS3.

I've restarted the game twice now, though, because apparently there is no way (in the console PS3 version at least) to reset your talents. The first time around I was a Rogue, which frustrated me to no end as I would pull aggro off of my tank (Dammit, Alistair!) like a beast and my party would die due to a lack of heals.

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. We still have no internet at home, so any chance I get to check my email is while I'm on the base. (That's also the reason why I haven't watched any videos. My neighbors probably wouldn't care for that. D: )

Has anyone finished the latest George R. R. Martin book? I'm just curious what everyone thinks. I am on the last chapter myself, so I'll update this with some thoughts once I'm finished. O:

I applied for a Graphic Artist job at the base in Okinawa. Awesomely, I got selected for an interview!

They want to see my portfolio, which I have (missing some more recent stuff because I can't take screenshots/print off at the moment). But I was wondering if any of you had any tips on what I should include, shouldn't, presentation, etc. :D

I'm kind of continuing off of Chunder's recent post here. We just recently posted on Craigslist to advertise our car that we'd like to sell before we move to Japan. (We can't bring it with.)

I swear to God I've never gotten so many spam e-mails. I think almost all of the replies -- if not all of them -- are spammers/phishers. They'll e-mail me to ask if the vehicle is still for sale, then once I've replied to say it is they send me completely bogus e-mails. For example...
