I finally got my computer fixed, about time I know, now I can get some real writing done.
Saw Choke, Eagle Eye, and Traitor last week in theatres; enjoyed Choke, but it was horribly flawed, Eagle Eye was slightly entertaining except the plot and plot twist were so insulting to my intelligence, that it would remove me from the film. Traitor was really enjoyable, not the Bourne Identity replica I was expecting, this film is genuinely it's on entity. Unfortunately I was slightly sleep deprived and napped during some key parts. balls.
This weekend Body of Lies and Quarantine come out, so does RockNRolla (just not in Vegas), mix this with Ham-Eric's b-days, and you know it's going to be a busy weekend.
Me and my friend went drinking this past weekend, I got drunk, he was going to take me home, but we continued partying, he kept drinking, I didn't, on the way to his car it was decided that I was going to take him home. He takes off running, I look for him the best a guy with a sprain ankle can. Quit after an hour and a half and go home. After four days of being unable to get ahold of him, I find out that he tried getting home on his own, and ends up getting in a car accident and arrested. Damn.
Last week I went to Alternate Reality Comics, Ralph had a new pull list form for me to fill out. "alright!" I say to myself, time for me to get this addiction under control. At the time my pull list went.
1985 All Star Superman Astonishing X-Men Batman Captain America Daredevil Doktor Sleepless Fantastic Four Invincible Iron Man Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas Kick Ass Mighty Avengers New Avengers Secret Invasion Secret Six Ultimates 3 Uncanny X-Men War Heroes
Of course these don't count graphic novels and comics I pick up on a whim (Wolverine for the Old Man Logan run and Amazing Spiderman: New Ways to Die, for example)
After much deliberation I manage to cut a whole 5 books from my list. All Star and Ultimates 3 ended, and I parted with Secret Six, Invincible Iron Man, and Mighty Avengers.
But then came the new additions for the upcoming three months... shit. I ended up adding
Dark Reign Dark Avengers X-Men Noir Incognito Criminal Captain America White Ultimatum
So not also did I not lower my comic count, I increased it by two. Seemingly, I do have a penchant for impulse buying comics, and there were a few that I struggled to keep off my pull list. Meh, I suck.
Also, my beloved Miami Dolphins are now 2-2, doubling their win total from last year and doing so beating two of the AFC's best Patriots (we ended their regular season winning streak stretching from the 2006-2007 season) and the Chargers (who played the Patriots in the AFC Championship last year). With the 0-4 Texans up this week and if we can be them soundly, I don't think it's wrong to say that we have a shot at the playoffs. |
