Entry 0125

23 Oct

Well, it’s almost the weekend (three day weekend time for me), and I’ve yet to follow through on my threat to post something else in the blog… So, I suppose that – while it’s a bit slow around the office – I’ll post a few thoughts.

Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of Saint’s Row 2 on the PS3. I bought it on a bit of a whim – LittleBigPlanet was pushed back a week for some rather dubious reasons, but I still wanted something new to play. I had really enjoyed the first Saint’s Row, and since I had just traded in Grand Theft Auto IV for store credit, I figured what the heck, it wouldn’t cost me a thing to pick it up.

I’m really glad I did. Read the rest of this entry »

Entry 0124

21 Oct

For some weird reason, I seem to be reduced to doing posts only about my weekends. I may have to try and write something else this week – but, until I do, here’s another Weekend Update.

Friday
Meet up with Nadia at her place, tried to fix her laptop – the sound has gone out. Made very little headway… Just enough to ensure that it’s not a problem with the volume turned way down… Didn’t think it was, but one must always be thorough when trying to fix something.

We went to Town Square, bought tickets for the movie we were going to see (Max Payne) and then headed to Kabuki, a quasi-Japanese restaurant. We had some sushi (kinda blah), she had the fried pork (pretty damn tasty), and I had the mixed beef/chicken hotplate (nummy). We talked and joked the whole time, was very nice.

After dinner, we walked over to Borders to kill some time – the movie wasn’t set to start for another hour and change… I picked up a couple of things, and Nadia bought me House of Leaves.

We grabbed a coffee (Well, she had a maple something or other, I had a chai something or other), I played with my new Zombie flash cards, then we went to see the movie. I’ll talk about the movie later, it actually should get a post of it’s own…

After the movie we were both pretty tired (was a bit after 1am), so I took her home, I went home and that was that.

Weekend Update
A day late, sure – but I was a bit sick yesterday. Sue me.

Friday
In the evening Nadia came over, and thus did the Great Weekend begin.
We watched the last three episodes of Doctor Who – Season Two (Fear Her, Army of Ghosts, Doomsday) while eating wings from WingStop (Hot and Lemon Pepper for me, BBQ and Teriyaki for her). There were some tears (Rose! :( ), but all in all it was a good night. We followed it up with some LittleBigPlanet beta, which was also good times.

We also had ice-cream! She kept accusing me of reading her mind, but I think that maybe we were just in sync… :D

Entry 0122

09 Oct

Today is a day that I really wish we could have cameras at the office…

One of my co-workers have been on a little vacation – for the past three weeks, she and her husband have been traveling throughout Europe. Good for them…

Well, she comes back on Monday, and as a way to say “Welcome back! Don’t ever leave us again, seriously, we mean it…” we “decorated” her cubical. By decorated, I of course mean attempted to pull of an Epic Prank on a minor scale.

The short of it – most of her stuff was wrapped in aluminum foil – her monitors, her mouse and keyboard, her chair, stapler, tape thinggie, lamp and potted plant – and we also strung up some fake cobwebs. Oh, and silly string – lots of silly string.

Then, just because I bought too much foil (150ft), we closed off the entrance to her cubical with the foil. Made a thin wall of it, about four foot wide and six foot tall.

Pretty darn awesome… And makes me wish I could have some pictures of it.

Here’s an interesting little resource. A Zombie Survival Wiki – not sure how accurate the information is, but it looks like a nice companion piece to the wonderfully written and completely indispensable Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.

Side note: I got into the LittleBigPlanet beta today! Expect some impressions and stuff later…
