Well Summer is over

Ok with the end of volleyball, comes the end of summer, (well at lest for me)

This summers volleyball, was not that good. it was hard to get people from work to come out, witch was strange, because last year we always had lots of people coming out to play, oh well.

I do have to thank the few people that did come out all the time, and when they could make it.

Next year I don't think I will put a team togeter though work, I will just ask people from work if they would like to "pay too play", that way I will get people that really want to play.

I can't really put the blame on people at work, people have other things they want to do, and volleyball might be fun, but you have to want to make the time for it.

Getting too old for games

I hope it is not true, but I find I'm not into games, the way I use to be. The only games I want to play, are the ones that are short, and quick to play. However I feel this is the fault of the game makers, games take way too much time to play, and you can't just stop save, and come back later to continue playing.

Also I find that when I play a game for a long time, it now feels like I wasted all that time doing nothing, and getting nothing out of it. I is strange that I don't feel that way about TV watching.

Oh well just something I was thinking about on my way to work.

My Dell is going to Blow!!!

Well, my Dell XPS has one of the Batteries that can catch on fire, if I don't have it plugged in. I will call them this week to get a new one.

I have not used this Blog in a long time, Did not feel like saying anything, but now that MS, has changed it a bit, I will see if the changes are any good. Maybe I will start putting in some movie reviews again, or talk about Naruto (2 more weeks until the good stuff).

Well that is it for now, I'm going to go and read a comic book, then go to bed, if stargate does not download.

Update on the Dell Battery:

I went to the Dell website, and placed a order for a new battery, and they sent me this (I love how they point out, that it's a Sony battery):
