This has been an extremely hard week for me. I had a two big assignments due on Wednesday, and had a lot to do for work. All-in-all I think I got an average of 4 hours a sleep a night this week. Aside from getting to see the Matrix on Wed. with Flech, my week sucked.

I got home from the Pike house last night to find that the jerks at the towing company had taken my van. Despite the fact that I have a legal parking pass and have had one for a year and a half now, they claimed that I was sporting a fake. Nevertheless, I had to take off work this morning to go and fight to get my car back. They finally gave it back when I pulled out my phone and threatened to call the police. Hell, I had a written statement from my landlord saying that I had a legal pass and the jerk still wouldn't let me in the gate to get my car.

Some people in this world make a living off of causing misfortune in others, That is a shame.

We moved offices at work. We're up on the 11th floor of our building, up from the 6th. My cube is sweet now though. I'm in a corner with my monitor facing diagonally toward the corner -- meaning that if the boss comes up he has to walk around and behind me to see that I'm not doing any work. Why do I mention this? Well, I'm writing this at work without the fear of my boss coming up from behind anymore. Hell yeah.

Tonight is Limo Limbada through my Fraternity. We rent out 20 person Limos and go through Columbus on a drunken scavenger hunt. Best night ever.

I haven't had much time to get to the DB this week, unfortunately. Jac was just too busy. I will have a lot more time this week though. In fact, I will be working on DB stuffs all day Tuesday, since I am off for a Holiday.

I am now a week into my seventh month as DGM. Seven months. That's a long time really in the online world.

I would like to think that I have done a good job in my tenure. I know that's not always the case, and there are some things I haven't done as well as I like. I am always willing to improve though.

I want suggestions as to how I can be a better Deputy Grand. If there is something that bothers you about me, just come out and tell me. Now is a good time to get something fixed that you are having trouble with.

I just wanted to give a blurb of congratulations to the new Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, Epis Jonuss Rai. Rai didn't get a proper introduction to the position in the midst of all of the DC appointments, and I apologize for that.

Rai has been reccommended by some of the finest DBers and I am sure that he will do an excelent job as Consul!

Congratulations!

The Guild system shines with glory when you look at the Diablo II Guild. Mav and everyone have done a great job so far with the release of the 1.10 patch. There is a lot of participation so far, which is excelent. I really like seeing people go out and gaming just for the fun of it. I miss that.

In fact, I missed that so much that I went ahead and bought the expansion for DII. I play on USWest with the account name JACoutinho and the Necromancer named Naegele.That's pronounced nay-glee. You guys are free to suck up to me by giving me good items and helping me level...:)

Also -- We need to find a way to have competitions and give out medals for DII playing. I want this to be rewarded. Send creative ideas for it to Halc, Mav and I.

In a dual effort, Trev and I are going to be working to get moving on the much anticipated Project: Storyline. Trev will be doing a lot of the work, with me helping to organize, approve and keep things rolling. AKA -- you all love me.

What is Project: Storyline? Well -- let me tell you in that bulleted-point-type-way

- Standardization of Dark Brotherhood timelines in relation to the Star Wars movies/books

• Documentation of importan events along this storyline.

• Fictional depiction of these events within the Dark Side Compendium.

• Dramatization of current events, including stories that build up to the future Vendettas.

• Archiving of important documents, including the compilation of all existing DB websites into offline formats.

• Become completely badass.

  Trev and I are going to need help with this, so if you want to be included, please contact us both. Rewards will be given for quality work.

As always, i am getting some messages from frustrated DBers who want to talk to me but can't find me on IRC. I AM online a bunch, but it is spurratic and a lot of times I don't change my nick for the ten minutes that I'm at home. I apologize if you haven't been able to contact me.

BUT...I'd like to remind you all about this wonderful thing called email....I check it a lot. and i respond pretty quickly. You can use that if I'm not on IRC. :)

Ever since the Competition Approval system was moved to the DB main site, my website hasn't served a purpose really.

I'm looking for ideas of what you all might like to see on my site. It may take me a while to make changes to it, but I want to have a plan for it, and a purpose. Send thoughts to Jaccypoo.
