Sorry about the uber-delay. Possibly the longest ever. Things have been fairly hectic (especially over the weekends when I usually mine the interwebz and Earth-in-general for exciting blog posts) what with work, and three trips out of town. Grandma is doing fine by the way...
In my delay I have decided a few things:
1.) Entourage is good. Really really good. I have been catching up on them from the library and Netflix (for the later seasons) and should be well into Season four by this weekend or so. Absolutely stellar script writing to keep what is essentially a repeated macro-storyline (guy gets movie, movie sells mass, guy celebrates with friends). Definitely recommend this one.
2.) This guy is hilarious. Basically, Chi City Mane is the realest dude from Chi town now livin' in the burbs. He chronicles his adventures with his personal Handycam (meaning you never really see his face). Yet another recommendation. As a matter of fact, I'll save you the trip:
And finally, if you don't watch any of the other one's cause they look stupid and you don't need any more ghetto slang in your life, please at least just watch this one. It'll warm your heart. A little Christmas love for the less fortunate:
3.) I'm out of shape. Trying to start working out is probably four times harder than trying to continue working out. I'm realizing this the hard way. Oh well.... onward.
4.) One of my cats now does not eat unless other people are in the room with her. I swear, this cat is quickly getting the nickname "Kevin McAlister" because I think she is afraid of the furnace, near which her main food bowl currently rests. Now we have another secondary food bowl in the living room, but that is just darn inconvenient when the Iams is down in the basement by said Main Food Bowl. The things we do for our pets...
5.) Speaking of pets, I'll be making friends (hopefully....) with three more this weekend. I'll be sure to take massive embarrassing and revealing photos chronic-(WHAT!?)-cling their living arrangements (jk doe....)

Top 5 reasons to stop by at your local festival
No particular order on this one
1.) Its like a high school reunion, but with gambling and its much easier to avoid the creepers
2.) There is no such thing as too many bratts, metts, or italian sausages.
3.) Blackjack is a great time waster.
4.) Funnel cake.
5.) ....Honestly I can't think of a fifth reason. Let's be honest, for the most part festivals suck bunghole and the only reason people go are to enjoy the wonderful vices of life. Irony at its best....
...just don't puke in the pews!! :)

The best part of Monday morning
definitely has to be waking up at 8:00, going in to work at 8:30, and listening to the last hour and a half of Bob and Tom. Getting paid for listening to quality morning radio, not too shabby.
As a side note, my nose is running like a 5 year old without parental supervision (both his feet and nose). I would take one of my Zyrtec, but Dayquil helps keep it from being stuffy and helps the nagging sore throat. Does a certain biology teacher think it would be cool to take both?
Other fun side note. Robitussin calls for two teaspoons, NOT TABLEspoons. I thought I was gonna die for about 5 minutes until I did some googling. Turns out crazy kids actually intentionally overdose Robitussin for some freaky deaky side effects.

Life is rough
Gee college life is rough. Loads of homework (watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for MUS-327, Music in Film), need to wake up bright and early at 10:30 for my CAD class tomorrow, laundry in the washer (bed sheets so they smell nice and fresh), and its 60 degrees and rainy. No sun for me today. :(
Play for me, maestro
Ok forrealsies, maybe it isn't a cakewalk, but holy crap the fact that I'm watching a movie for a 300 level class (and blogging about it on my top of the line laptop) makes me give the college life a big two thumbs up. It is somewhat hard at first adjusting to the whole school is life kind of mindset (i.e. classes at any time of the day on weekdays, not consecutively from too-early am until 2:10 in the afternoon), but I think I'm finally at that point where going back to the "old way" would seem more awkward than now.
Ok, gotta get back to the movie. It's hard to type and watch simultaneously.
Be jealous.
I leave you with your own video to watch. Behold, the only Super Bowl Ad (SBA, if you were curious) that made me chuckle:
Talk about a slow year for commercials..

Game Update
Obviously I haven't been posting a lot here lately. Honestly, these games are just more entertaining. Take a gander:
This bad boy is much like kitten-cannon (which all my readers are surely aware of by this point), except there are 10 buttons you must hit in time instead of an arc/velocity ratio. It's a smart alternative for those anti-physicists out there. This high score is very, VERY beatable, I know.
This one wins the longest title catagory. It's the poor man's Guitar Hero, actually a pretty good representation of the type of replayability of the real one (the i-cant-stand-this-terrible-song-anymore kind).
It's not as vulgar as it sounds (I know... shucks...) but it's a cute idea for a game following those good ole holiday work parties. Basically, everyone (except the CEO-types... losers) is wasted and your character thinks its a great idea to scan booty pictures on the cooperate issued Xerox. Just stay away from previously mentioned CEO types, or else you'll get a big ZOMG WTFzors, followed by a prompt game over.
P.S. if anyone finds the secret game(?), let me know
And finally, I end with a game that is going to cost you some money, but is worth a serious, serious look.
Valve software is most famous for the Halflife series (for the gameing illterate, back in the 90s a little mod for Halflife called "Counterstrike" was created, which in turn became probably the most popular FPS of all time). Back then, which was 1998 to be exact, Valve was a relatively unknown company that blew up majorly with Halflife and its many modifications. This is largely because Valve takes great pride in its game engines (like artificial physics and stuff...). Well, with Half-life 2 (released in 2004... Valve is also known for taking FREAKING FOREVER to make a game) they created a totally knew engine, Source, along with a totally seperate physics engine, Havok. This one has some pretty good real-world physics in it. So, with Orange Box (a collection of games released this past year, containing a second episode of Half-life and some other equally fun games) they released Portal.
Portal is not like any first-person-shooter I have ever, ever experienced. It's actually only about 5% FPS, and 95% puzzle-game. In Portal you are a human lab-rat for a weapons research company. You have been given a gun that has the ability to basically transport you through the same dimension. It's hard to explain, because it's honestly kind of beyond basic human instincts. With this gun, you navigate a series of 19 mazes (because you are a lab rat, after all), with cake promised at the end. Just watch the videos. I'm obsessed. Oh, and GLaDOS (your robot overlord) is pretty freaking hilarious, too.
