 I don't feel older..  well in any case I became 23 years old on the 11th. 
 
I added a script to my pages.  I have adapted Romeo and Juliet for an Everquest production.  Insanity you say? Well, I've gotten bored with the low points of Everquest, so I've decided to bring some intellegence to the game.  Unfortunately I had to cut out half of the play, but that was mostly because I didn't have enough people to play the parts.  I'll be playing most of em myself hehe.  Anyway I hope it turns out well, I'll be anouncing when it will go down on: http://pub106.ezboard.com/bluclin71335

Hmm haven't wrote anything here for over a month, wow. Sorry.  Finding a job took up most of my time.  I finally got one at Toys R Us for the holidays.  Hopefully I can find another job by the time the holidays are over.
 
Anyway I'm gonna post up something for my website, I have some photos, and Everquest manipulations on this website:
 
 
   My Everquest addiction seems to not have stopped.  I can't get myself to do something else.  Well, I've been playing Metroid Prime lately and the new game for GBA instead of playing EQ 24-7.

Long time no see huh?  I am going to the Post office today. I sold a few things on ebay.  In fact I should be selling a few more things but we'll see just check it out here.
I was gonna drop off some job applications, but it seems like I need a bit more info to fill em out, I've forgotten a few addresses so I'll have to make some phone calls.  I'm going to be applying to Borders (bookstore) and Ralph's (supermarket).  I'd rather work at a book store, but at this point I just would like a job I can stand.
My old job was with parking on UCI campus.  It was a pain, and I didn't really feel appreciated until I left.  I guess sometimes you don't know what you had.  Anyway I need something new on my plate. I've been growing stagnant in the job market and I want to move on to new things.

I have altered my webpage a bit. I took out the animal crossing page, and now its not linked to any of these pages.  It seemed a bit out of place so I put it in a sepparate folder. https://murdockp4.tripod.com/ac/ if you are interested.

I added pictures of my car.  I was able to scan them yesterday, but the website was being slow and I couldn't upload them.

  My car is a pale blue 1968 Volkswagon Beetle.  People sometimes laugh when I tell them that, or when they see me in it.  I'm 6'3", maybe that's why.  They expect a big guy to have a big car.  I hate my beetle sometimes and othertimes I love it.  It is extreamly easy to fix.  I can do most of the work on it myself.  It is a constant challenge to me and it is starting to be a pleasure.  A routine checkup (adjusting valves, changing the oil, oil filter, adjusting the points, and the timing) is something I used to dread, but now I find it easy and almost therapeutic.

  Today I watched some of my friends play softball.  Wow it really shows when you don't practice :(.  They lost 19 to 3.  At least they seemed to have fun some of the time.  I drove my car there.  It is really handling well.  Next I need to fix the gas gauge, and check the front brake shoes for wear.
 
  The wire going from the batery to the gauge broke, and I have seen that my rear brake shoes look fine, I just need to get under the car to check the front ones.  I'll probably end up doing that tomorow.  I also dropped off my film at Costco on Saturday, so I can scan them next week.
 
I outlined most of my Dryad story last night, but I haven't really decided how to end it.  I have a feeling I'm gonna end up writing two endings and seeing which works best.

Today I updated my Animal Crossing listings.  If you play the game as well you may be interested in what I have.  We could do a trade or something.  At the moment, I'm trying to get a full set.  My most complete set is Kiddie. I have carpet, wallpaper, a dresser and a bookcase.  I would rather complete the green, modern, or cabin sets first though.
 
I starting to feel withdrawls from Everquest.  I miss the inane things I was able to do in that game... but then it was also very frustrating and boring at times.  I must resist the temptation..

Today I posted up my first completed short story.  Its called Crush the Dove.  Currently I'm working on some ideas for my next story.  I'll have to post the map and some drawings I have made later.  I need to get them scanned first.  The one I haven't writen yet is a fantasy story involving a dryad and a woodcutter.

As soon as I get some photos developed I will also post some pictures of my car and myself.  I hope they turned out ok.. I'm not the best photographer :(
