What's cooler than Transformers?
Better than Star Wars???
Simple:
Star Wars Transformers. OMG I think I just ejaculated.

Star Wars Transformers: Millennium Falcon

Star Wars Transformers: Fett Slave

Is it me, or are these things gonna make bank?

I just had to pick these things up. 20% off at KB Toy Store, of all places. I also got a 5.00 gift card. Both for 35 bucks. Pretty good deal. I haven't found anything good in a KB Store in a decade. I'm happy to see them carrying some of the new transformer line. Speaking of which, I think its lame Megatron now transforms into a tank. Megatron isn't a tank. He's a gun. That may seem lame but that's what he is. If he was a tank in the very beginning that would probably have been better (but suckage for him since most of the other decepticons fly in vehicle mode). Anyway, I could bitch and praise the new transformers toy line, but I won't. I'm just shocked they combined both Star Wars and Transformers. In my book that's pretty damn cool.

Well, We're back on the diet again. Counting points instead of ignoring them sucks. but I'm up to 188 which is bad. My target weight was 175, and I got down to 178.5 before the big move. Most of it was probably gained during the last few crunch weeks at work. Getting free pizza every Friday and free lunch and dinner during crunch weeks is great, but bad for my diet. But damn those deli cookies are good. Anyway, We'll see how it works out. I ate total cereal instead of pizza today and Im kinda bummed but very happy I didnt waste my points on it. I don't have many to spare.

Oh.. Points.. Yeah.. Im on the weight watchers diet again, which was fairly effective for me when I stuck to it.

Went to the King Richard's Faire yesterday.

• The Good:
  
• Free and ample parking.
• Free and ample cleavage (to look at).
  
• Good number of vendors and food choices.
• A good cat show and some other decent shows and skits, including a joust.
• Fudge: Scrounging our leftover coupons and combining them with the couple that we went with, we were able to afford a 2-bite piece of Fudge. I didn't realize Fudge came in so many varieties. It was pretty good, based on the 1 bite I had.
  
• The Bad:
  
• Super expensive: $24.00 per adult to walk through the gate. Also, it was CASH ONLY so I had to spend 3 bucks to use their ATM. Clever bastards!
  
• Small: A brisk walk takes you to the other side of the faire in about 6 mins.
• Food Stamps: Food required buying coupons, which were 50 cents each and sold in lots of $5.00 increments. Many items cost 7 or 8 coupons, thereby leaving you with 1 or 2 food coupons you couldn't use because you didn't have enough stamps. Meal combo's could cost up to 17 or 18 stamps. ALSO, it too was CASH ONLY and so I had to goto the ATM machine AGAIN. DAMN YOU RENNIES!!
• Food Quality: I had pizza and cheese fries. They were both mediocre.
• The "DAMN........ That's A Big Cat!"
• What do you get when you crossbreed a male Lion and a female Tiger?
• Ans: A Liger.
  
• What do you get when you crossbreed a male Tiger and a female Lion?
• Ans: A Tion.

I am not making this up. The Cat show was pretty good. They had some baby tigers, a white tiger, and this beast pictured here. His name is Hercules. At only 3 years old he weighs half a ton and stands 10 feet tall on his hind legs. Oh, and he's still growing. This guy can eat 100lbs of food in one sitting. No wonder why his breed is the biggest cat in the world.
Here's a nice gallery of the show, including better pics of Hurcules.

The show was put on by T.I.G.E.R.S. (The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species). Sounds like a pretty good organization. But c'mon... Hot Chicks and Tigers... what else could you ask for? I bought a stuft Liger and named him Richard, although I suppose I should rename him Hercules.

I bought the NeverWinter Nights 2 pre-order. Supposedly I get to use the toolset a month before the game's release. Well, the box was much too light to contain a CD, so I assumed there'd be a code inside. There was. So I went to www.nwn2.com/presell and well, the toolset isnt avail yet. I have to wait 7 days, 6 hours, etc.. cassing frackin freakin heekin hawkin.

Oh, Violet Twilight and I went to the book signing of Diana sumthin or another. She was entertaining. Check Violet's blog for details.

9/7 was Violet's birthday so I took a half day off and we went to a concert at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA.
Rob Zombie & Godsmack (I forgot who opened for them).
It was very very loud. The conert was fine, unless you're a fan of either band, in which case it was great. Several huge LCD screen played videos most of the time so it was like a rock video. We sat near the front of the way back section, so we didnt see much. When Godsmack came out and while they played they live fed the cam to the monitors most of the time, so that was cool. I didnt realize how talented Sully is. He can sing and knows how to play the guitar, drums, and harmonica.
I liked the way Zombie's drummer played.

It was about an hour drive, free parking, and easy to get too.. so not too bad.
