Did I just buy 10 t-shirts online??? …yes I did
Tomorrow is thursday.. date night for me. Am I excited?? yes indeed. This one passed the “interview process”. Let’s hope I don’t hate her by the end of the night…….
Am I going to keep asking myself questions?? Yes.
Anyway..I am going to Blip Fest with Brander on Saturday. Should be good. A little high-energy, low-res fun never hurt anyone. Yes I am a dork.
I bought myself an early christmas present. A roland td-9s electronic drum kit. I had my first lesson last week. I am not nearly as good as I hoped I would be…though the teacher says I am much better than he anticipated. I think he had really low expectations and I had really high.. hah. Damn you rock band. But I am having fun. Practice makes perfect.

I worked late tonight…as a result I am tired but not tired right now. Does that make sense?
Christmas is next week….hmm..what are you doing for christmas? No really I asked you..what are YOU doing for christmas? idk

Bender: You seem a tad wound up, buddy. And your face is greasy. Real greasy. You’ve been up all night?
Fry: Of course I’ve been up all night! Not because of caffeine, it was insomnia. I couldn’t stop thinking about coffee. I need a nap.” *snores* Coffee time!
…….
So yeah…I am so wired right now. I had a ridiculous amount of coffee today. I totally feel like everything is going extremely slow for me right now…my mind is racing with all the caffeine. Yikes…
i forgot i had a blog….maybe I should update this more often.
I saw inglourious basterds earlier this week….it was good…really good. Tarantino despite being labeled as overrated by a lot of people…is still a pretty fantastic artist in the sense of scripting a movie and laying out the scenes. Enjoyable.

I am going to spain (madrid) for SECEC in 2 weeks. It should be interesting. I usually enjoy going to these types of conferences. I actually think this will be the first trip I do with the “new” company I am forming with 2 coworkers/friends.
Speaking of which, things are starting to come together with all that. It has been a bit stressful these past few weeks/months working out all the logistics of the company but it seems everything will come together sometime in early September. Fingers crossed.
So I saw push with Matt on thursday. I was actually “pushing” to see taken but I settled for push only because of when we showed up at the theater. Needless to say…push is a definite pass. Not good. There was so much potential with this movie…but it never lived up to it. The action was really non existent. I think I am just going to skip any future movies that Chris Evans is in….. he tends to always be in such crap.
I saw Coraline on friday. Awesome. The movie does an incredible job of going between wonderful joy and absolute dread that it almost becomes hard to take in the visual marvel that surrounds you in 3-D….almost. In the end, I left the movie completely satisfied…and a little scared (It is surprisingly scary at times.)

Made creamy tomato soup and milanese pork chops on saturday…they both came out really well.

i am tired.
Friday night I played Texas Hold em for the first time with Matt & Jess and Jess’s bother and wife. It was fun. I basically kicked ass…if by basically you mean I never won…then yes..I kicked ass.
Saturday night I went to a wine tasting party at Lillian’s. It was actually a lot of fun (despite the fact that I don’t really drink anymore). I hadn’t seen Lillian and her bf in over 1.5 years. So it was good to see them both.
I think Lillian was trying to set me up with her friend…or rather…she definitely was and I didn’t realize until after the girl left and Lillian asked me what I thought of her. DOH.
Sunday… I watched the Super Bowl over at Matt & Jess’s place. I (we all but mostly me) cooked up a storm. I made a kick ass tomato blue cheese soup from scratch, a pineapple pie (again kick ass), and some buffalo chicken tenders. I would say it was overall a success and a lot of fun. Check out the random pictures from the day here.
It snowed again today. I am starting to hate snow. I forgot my gloves today..so I almost froze my hands off scraping my car off trying to head home. Yeah not fun.
When is groundhogs day?
A lot of people are saying the curious case of benjamin button is very similar to Forest Gump. Eric Roth helped write both of them..so it would seem conceivable that they may have a few similarities. I personally liked both movies…but I never realized just how many similarities there were….
Curious case of Forest Gump
interesting….
So I have been using the Wii FIT for about a week now…..which means its time for me to ramble…
First off, I don’t own a scale. Never have. So the fact that I can now weight myself without having to jump on the scale at work which is used for mailing out packages is very nice. I also have to admit that I feel more guilty when I don’t play the game since it seems to talk shit to you when you don’t go on every day. I also like that I now have a goal in mind (even if it is unrealistic…gaining 10lbs in a month).
As for the actual exercises themselves…well the yoga is so so. It seems to be more basic stretching techniques with some elements of balance rather than full blown yoga. But I won’t complain…it serves as a good warm up. The strength exercises are either hit or miss. The push ups and crunches work just as you think they would…..so that is good. All the other strength exercises are “meh”, but seeing as I usually only did yoga, push ups, and crunches before I bought the Wii FIT this seems to be working out great in that it keeps me motivated. I do think I am going to start adding weights to the other exercises they recommend just to make it more difficult. That will probably help a lot.
So has anyone else seen the trailer for 9. This movie looks awesome. The movie is based on a short film by Shane Ackers which goes by the same name…”9″. That movie was nominated for an Animated Short Oscar, which in itself was awesome. But now…the film is being backed by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (you know the guy behind Night watch and Day watch)..2 major players in the visual eye candy department. This can only help Ackers original idea come to life.
I am reading a new book. “The End of Oil” by Paul Roberts. So far it is a great book about the energy economy and the implications it has on the environment. Some of the facts that are presented in it are quite scary. When I read that by 2035 the oil demand will be 140 million barrels a day, which means that oil companies and oil sates will need to discover, produce, refine, and bring to market 140 million new barrels of oil every twenty-four hours, day after day, year after year, without fail my jaw dropped. Considering these numbers were based on current growth rates for the energy market (which means they are very conservative) we could have some huge problems real quickly.
I came into possession of a Wii Fit early this week. It is surprisingly cool. I set up a goal to gain 10lbs in a month. We shall see.
