    Even though my family settled up.....
    This week hasn't been so great...

    Disney day 5, stomach flu day 2. God doesn't want me to get to actually get to walk around animal kingdom.

    Yay
    Doctor said if I'm "lucky" I just have a staph (spelling?) infection in my eye, some fucking luck right. Otherwise I may have something more serious that may require surgery of sorts.... In the meantime I cant put in my left contact, this would be fine if I had glasses, but I don't, so in the meantime I cant read, watch tv/movies or play video games without.... well lets just say some of you may see tommorow, well my head is throbbing and I shouldn't be on the computer, adios.

    I am not fucking happy right now...
    I just had 2 xboxes crap out on me in a matter of about 10 minutes. One of which was my limited edition system. They will replace the classic system free, but my LE system (the one that belongs to me and not my brother) they was 119.00 to fix... plus tax 125.00... plus shipping to them 145.00 roughly, and that is minus any insurance and using cheap packing supplies.

    I might as well buy another system at that point. But then of course goes some money I was saving, because I dont wanna put anything on a credit card while I am in the middle of marathon paying it off.

    Sure would be cool if some stupid person traded in an RE5 system by now, but that is unlikely, considering I doubt I will even get an elite.

    I was mere hours from 1000 pointing RE5, and Fallout 3: Into The Pitt comes out for it tuesday.... fuck.

    Dinner on wednesday
    Is at 7pm. At Ryan's Daughter's Pub in Belvedere Square, Across from Senator Theatre for people who dont know the area. Post if you are coming so I can see if I need to ask for a big table. And for the people who dont know pricing there, meals are between 9 and 25 bucks a meal, so there is something for all price ranges.

    Secret Santa thing-mo-bob
    I'm very bad at coming up with stuff, so I figured out a list of BLURAY movies I dont have and want. I know bluray movies are not cheap, and usually fall under the suggested price. So if they arent on sale, or you dont go to soundgarden in fells point (which sells bluray new for 20 and used for 13) then just a gift certificate to best buy or the sound garden will suffice.

    - Tropic Thunder Unrated
    - Wall-E
    - Death Race (the 2008 Jason Statham one, the old 70's Carradine Stallone one isnt on bluray)
    - Hancock Unrated
    - Night Watch (the Russian fantasy movie, not the shitty cop drama)
    - Day Watch
    - Incredible Hulk *edit* (Just to clarify... The Norton one, NOT the Eric Bana/Ang Lee shit fest)
    - Pineapple Express

    I give you guys alot more credit than this, but because people at work didnt know, I cant stress bluray enough, I have some of these on DVD already (granted downloaded form).

    Also if you know a toy store who sells World of Warcraft figures who just happens to have the Illidan or Arthas figure (I special ordered Illidan from my comic store and when he got it in he forgot and sold it to someone else, he does that) that would be exceptional, I went to get Illidan from amazon and people sell him for roughly 90 - 100 bucks.

    Also, to anyone who wants to see the Punisher: Warzone.... dont.
    To anyone who may be thinking of purchasing Prince of Persia.... rent it.

    My birthday is in a week and a half, if anyone wants to go out to dinner let me know.

    Goodbye Snake
    I beat MGS 4 this morning, I know what some people are thinking, already? Must be short! Well it's not, it is about 17-20 hours long, but for the most part no one is around all weekend, and most of the ones that are arent in the mood to do anything, so I sat around playing it quite alot.

    The game was absolutely fantastic, save for a few lame ass scenes, one of which we've already seen (Raiden vs. Vamp, battle for supreme fruit of the MGS universe, which is funny, cause neither are even gay, but Volgin was kinda a BAMF so he dont qualify for contender)

    Anyway it answered everything I think needed answering, it is kinda what the series finale of Lost should be.

    And sorry if this trivial spoiler ruins the game for anyone, but piloting REX... awesome. And if that ruined it for you then you probably need help.

    Iron Man is awesome-ness. I saw it last Tuesday on a press screening, saw it again last night at midnight cause i liked it so much. Just a note though, the screening cut off before the end of the movie, sit through the credits.

    Halo Night
    Didnt involve Halo, least while i was there, we pretty much played smash brothers brawl for a while after the meeting. It was fun. I like brawl more than I liked the last one. It is a bit slower, which makes it easier for me to not kill myself in the confusion, also a bit more balanced (some characters are still badasses, but they badassed up everyone else to compensate).

    I may get more in depth into my opinion of it when the full english version comes out in a few weeks.

    I want a snake/kirby plush or better yet, statue, that would be awesome.

    After 8 total failed attempts to download, I finally got Acrobat Pro... I'm not gonna lie, I aint installed it yet, so I am not 100% sure, but the install says it is, so I am gonna screw around with that if I have any free time tommorow, Meghan, can you send me the specs they need via email.

    Random Items & Views on Life

    General World View: Not very nice I better not comment

    What I think of lionboogy's legs: Who the hell is that?

    ... Are you gay or something?: I like a little tomboy in chicks, but I don't dig dick.

    Life Philosophy, in a Nutshell: Your standing in life is pretty much decided for you before you are even born, fortunately life does cater to the majority, unfortunately I am not in the majority, so my outlook on life isnt very good.

    What?: just incase you couldnt translate or misunderstood me, I said 'fuck you'.

    Secret Santa....
    This is tough stuff for me, so just incase I like gift cards, best buy is always good. If you want something more involved...

    Fido - DVD (horror/zombie/comedy)
    Evil Dead 3 Disc Ultimate Edition - DVD

    Being Hopeful incase someone who really likes me gets my name:

    Blade Runner 5 Disc Collectors Edition - HD-DVD only (not DVD, this is a common mistake) That is 35 bucks though so I am not holding out for it.

    My apologies
    Well I meant to be at the Secret Santa drawing... but I didnt even get back here till almost midnight, (had to drop money off at the farm so my neice can go to Europe, then drop my new toys off here) so I wouldnt have been there till 12:30, which would have been pointless, especially since at that point I could barely drive straight. So it was Cup O Noodles and some PR formatting for me, couple of chapters anyway (though I realized I was wayy to tired to get things right, so I am gonna hold off till I am sane), so now I am gonna read a bit.

    So tired, but... book......

    .....wow
    I am reading quite possibly one of the most messed up books of my career.... it's great.

    Justin, the Godzilla Bukkake was one of the funniest things I ever read.

    Speed Racer looks..... ummm...... Fuck it, I'll prolly see it anyway.

    I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

    Within Emperor Jiajing sin and Quetzcoaltz's hunger lies the Answers.

    They drained my soul and made it theirs. I drained my body to show you where I saw it.

    Artefacts sent to the skies to control all nation, to make us obey a hidden crusade. Do not help them.

    I couldnt figure all of it out, but whoever says Assassins Creed is poorly written is an idiot. Sequel AHOY!

    I was up a good chunk of last night playing Call of Duty 4....

    Incredible, I gotta say, bit short, and gets ridiculously challenging in the last few levels. I am also not too big into the 'unlimited enemies so get your ass running forward to get them to stop spawning' mentality of some of the 'survive' missions.

    Also a shitty Collectors Edition, I would pass if I were you.

    Assassin's Creed..... one week.....

    Mass Effect...... two weeks......

    3 Day Weekend...... 3 days.......

    But I have two more shitty days of PNC then gamestop in a row. Otherwise known as the 13 1/2 hour stretch.
