Some Rapid Fire Updates

215, :( times infinity

Miss me? Sure you do! Come on admit it! You can’t get enough of my ramblings! Sorry I couldn’t write any earlier than this. Unfortunately for all of you, video games trump blogging. So yeah, I’ve been gaming instead of blogging. Or anything else for that matter. Enough about that though. All that matters is that here’s a new blog for the day. It’ll most likely be a recap moreso than anything else though.

Traffic Jam from Hell

So, last week I got stuck on that accursed San Mateo bridge. Well, not on it per se. I was about half a mile away from the toll plaza. So there I was quite literally not moving. Needless to say that I’m going to be late for work. 3 hours late as I recall. It’s a good thing I wasn’t stuck on the bridge itself though. Just a littel bit to the left of the toll plaza is a nice turnaround. Mercifully, the CHP openned it up for those lucky enough to be close to the toll plaza to use it.

Game Reviews

I’m so behind on my game reviews. I’ve about 8 games I need to write up a review for. 4 of which I haven’t even played yet. I’m working on one of them right now, but unless I get a whole week of from work or something, I’m not going to catch up anytime soon. I already know what I’m going to say on 4 of those reviews fortunately. All I need now is just the willingness to sit down and actually write them
Two things are hindering me from actually starting up those reviews. Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. Both of which practically demands me to give them my precious time seeing how good they are.

Halo 3

Speaking of Halo 3, that game’s great. I won’t go into it here seeing how only 25% of my readers even care about Halo 3. Suffice to say that when I got it from the midnight release on Tuesday morning, I stayed up the entire night learning the nuances of the new stuff with Lemon. I was already sleep deprived by a previous all nighter stint with Heroes. I added fuel to that fire with Halo 3. I even played hookey from work. I’m not proud of it, but it was necessary. After Lemon went home around 7 AM, I slept for 6 hours straight. When I woke up I was still tired as hell. It was worth it though.

Heroes Marathon

My friends are unfortunate to have never received the blessing of the TV show Heroes. I felt obliged to reverse that misfortune. Last Saturday, I brought in my HD-DVD player to Doug’s house and started a Heroes marathon. I think we started around 3 O’clock or so, took a 7 PM dinner break for a good 2 hours (stupid 45 minute wait time at Olive Garden), and restarted right when we got back. Fortunately, Doug knows his limits and ripped himself away from it at like 1 AM. Lemon on the other hand is less fortunate. We went to his house and finished the rest of the season in one sitting. It was 10 AM when I finally left his house. By my calculations, the series is about 18 hours long. I’ve never done anything like it until now. Good times!

That’s it folks. You’re mostly caught up on what’s been going on in my life. I’ll have more thoughts to post soon after my little Halo 3 party. I hope.

210, :(

I’m sure you’ve had those Mormon people or Jehovah Witness people come to your door hoping to turn you from the "dark side" and into the "light".  Well, I have one particular group that just keeps coming back.  And for good reasons.

They’re not a group that I’ve just mentioned.  In fact, I’m not entirely sure what they are, "Watchtower" or something like that I think.  The main reason they keep coming back is because…of me.  They always want to talk to my mom, whom I might have suggested might be interrested in what they have to say.  I keep leading them on thinking that they might get somewhere in this household.  I’m not doing it because I’m starting to "see the light" or anything like that.  I’m just doing it because the one girl that keeps coming back to my door is kinda pretty.  That’s all.  Yeah, I know.  I’m going to hell.  They think they have a potential convert on their hands.  yeah, good luck with that.  They’ve come back like 5 times already since I first answered the door way back in March or something.  One of these days, I’m gonna have to break it to them that we’re not going to convert or anything like that.  Maybe next time….Maybe.
