This is just a test. I'm not really here.

movies

Watched three movies over the weekend: Bolt, I Love You, Man, and Slumdog Millionaire.

None were life changing, but all were worth watching.

*please insert something witty here*

I feel like my brain is clawing at the inside of my skull, begging to be left out to go for a run. It needs to stretchits legs, to feel the breeze on its face, the sun in the sky; it needs to absorb knowledge.

I have been toying with the idea of starting an education regimine. Setting aside designated time during weeknights at which to pursue some endeavor. You know, like how all the kids study? Sadly that was a skill I never acquired, so its gonna be a rough one for me, but I think once I get in a pattern I can make it.

Of course, I need to decide what it is I want to learn. The two most likely candidates are: Chinese, and visual Basic.

Now, I have Rosetta Stone - got it through work - so I actually have a key learning tool. And I really want to learn the language, just in case I ever get back to the country,

As for VB? Well, again thanks to work, I have just installed Visual Studio on my PC, and am primed for some hardcore learning.

Now, for both of these, I hope for nothing more then to better myself. Will this lead me to self-realization? Money? power? Respect? Mad Bitches??

probably none. But, it will make me feel better about myself.

of course, it will eat into the video game time.

Sadly, the best show on television - Battlestar Galactica - is over. *sad panda* At least it went out very well, and overall, the series was totally worth it. Just wish I knew more people who watched it, as it was something pretty special. However, that's one less hour a week I need to devote to things. So that's a plus.

I have a big decision in front of me, as my lease is up. Do I stay here? or try to find someplace cheaper? The correct answer should be B... but I'm lazy, and A is a nice answer too. It really depends on the landlord. I am already spending too much money on the place, so if they decide to raise the rent, well, then I will be forced to move. Kind of the best outcome, as I won't be second guessing my decision then... however, if they maintain the rent, I have to decide how much being lazy is worth to me.

Been playing Left4Dead and Dawn of war on my PC. Got me some SLI, so that's been running very well. Of course, on PS3 side, I have Killzone2 and Street Fighter. Over all, my time is PACKED.
Plus, broke down and bought a Sony Reader, so been reading tons lately, which is back-pat-worthy.

Music side: really enjoying White Lies, new Soundtrack Of Our Lives, street, and Mando Daio. Also, can't stop listening to the new Subways album. Makes me feel young, which at this point I may or may not be.

Ok, ciao!

This is a low.

I'm always amazed that no matter how bad I can feel about my job, the company always finds a way to further demoralize me.

one other thing...

Amazon lists the best album of 2008 as Kings Of Leon's Only By The Night.

I am right there with them. I have sung the praise of this band over and over... get this album now.

Do it Live!

Well, howdy ho, internet denizens!

Ugh, my eyes feel so tired right now, but I think it is me being tired from going to the gym, so that's a good thing.
I did 3 days, propbably won't go tomorrow, but that's good. I'm on a roll. The first half of this year I went at least 12 days a month, I was really doing great... then I moved and just hit a wall. Now, a tad bit flabby, i am trying to get back into the swing of things. so far? meh.
needs work.

I am swimming in a sea of videogaming goodness right now, which is great, but work has been hectic, and my ever growing to-read pile is becoming menacing. If I am found in a bloody heap of papercuts, the books have won.

I am pretty much done with my comic book habit. I hate to be, but I can't afford the damn things, and ever since Spidey made a deal with the devil, I haven't been able to look a comic book in the eyes.

Oh, I'm still the nerd you all know and love, I promise you that.

I saw Smashing Pumpkins a few wweeks ago, thanks to a friend at work having an extra ticket. I was very impressed with how rock-starry Billy Corgan was. I mean, sure he plays off this winey, emo grandaddy bald-headed guy, but underneath it, he knew what he was doing. He posed with the guitar.

It was exactly what I wanted.

I've recently found out that two porn stars are living in Philly (I'm guessing there are more) Stoya, and Gina Lynn (who opened a clothing store in King of Prussia). I have no idea why this fact fascinates me so, but it really does.

My house is a total mess, I need to do some serious cleaning - never a strong suit with me.

On the other hand, my cooking has been pretty good recently... why, I even have Saurbrauten marinating in the fridge as we speak! Not sure how it will turn out, but I can't think about it without feeling a vast sense of nationalistic pride.

Ok, that's it for me. Lusts: Diora Baird, the next George R.R. Martin book, a gaming group to do some serious board gaming with, a new Burton snowboard (the Love series... this years have Playmates on them), a shotgun...

yes, a shotgun. Recently we have been going to this place called Lehigh Valley Sporting clays when I am visiting the family. It's awesome. It's in an old cement factory and quarry, and the traps are set in the trees... suddenly a clay pigeon will fly out over the water... then get obliterated to tiny fragments from the pure firepower of cold steel within my sturdy grasp.

ok, so most of the clay pigeons go unharmed... but I'm getting better!

later!

I made it... But barely.

Sometimes...

The best thing in life is spending time with the family.
