I GOT A Wii

Yes, I bought a Wii. And its Awesome.

As you might know, its near impossible to buy one of these in a store. A new shipment came in yesterday, and its already sold out. Lucky for me I decided to talk about it in my apt elevator the other day, and one of my neighbors offered to sell me his. I jumped at this offer, and now I own a Wii.

Last night we played Wii sports. I am super good at Wii bowling and already bowled a 150. Golf and Tennis i'm not so good at, but its fun. And Baseball I just find boring.

Tonight I'm going to give Wii Play a shot, ping pong and skeetball look fun.

So now I have a Super Nintendo and a Wii, so if any of you want to play any games give me a call :)

Jim sent me this article which I liked about SNES.

Too much Superbowl

So I'm super excited to watch the patriots...but i'm less than excited to deal with any giants fan. I've been dealing with them for a week now and its getting old.

Also I've learned that Green bay fans are poor sports. After spending an entire season rooting for green bay and trying to be a good friend all my efforts have been rejected hard.

Whatever, f'that. next year i'm going to continue to be a boston fan and i'll be that mass-hole they all want me to be. Everyone says "i hate boston fans" because we've turned into the yankees etc. well I'm the one contact you have to redsox nation and patriots fanbase so I take that a lot more personal than I guess it should be. You build up in your head how terrible we are...but all i've been is nice. Guess what? Its on.

There will be bordom

So I saw there will be blood this weekend. I had high hopes. Actors looked good, story looked good, and the trailers rocked.

Well I was wrong. Very wrong.

First off I'll say what was good. The actors were good, and they definitely made the type of movie they were going for. Me being bored was no accident.

What I didnt like was that nothing happened. They kept getting close to good story lines and conflict, and then letting them fade away. So many cool stories could have come out of this.

My least favorite part about it was the music. That was just plain annoying.

Anyway, it wasnt a terrible movie, it was just a blah movie.

Two reviews from rottentomato.com that basically sum up my experience:

"It's as if you can feel the oil flowing under the ground, bubbling, seeking a weak patch of earth from which to spew. But, the climactic emotional equivalent never occurs"

"If you want to be a movie snob this year, this is the one to say you've enjoyed. If you want to be entertained, this is the movie to avoid."

ugh

sometimes working with 10 year old boys really gets to me.

So now i'm working 2 days a week at dulles. I hate it there. People arent friendly and the work is boring.

Well i'm looking forward now to coming to my greenbelt office, but seconds after I arrive here I'm reminded of how annoying this office can be too. How hard is it to just not touch my f'ing stuff. Its work people, not a dorm room.

I cant wait for the weekend.

Somehow I break EVERYTHING

So every night If I have the TV on before bed I like to hit sleep timer so I dont accidentally wake up hours later to something scary. An old fear from staying at my grandparents house when I was younger since they let me have a TV in my room, whereas my parents wouldn't have.

Anyway, the sleep timer usually works flawlessly, I set it for 30 min, an hour, whatever, and at exactly the right moment the tv turns off. its great.

Frequently the TV gets shut off anyway before the timmer goes off, so i dont know how recently this problem started, but two nights ago we were watching yet another episode of the office (season 2 now) and were super tired. So good ole sleep timer gets set, and the episode gets started.

Well at 7:02 am abba starts singing (my alarm clock) and I find that little DVD logo floating around my tv screen! WTF! the sleep timer failed me!!

I gave it another go last night, but stayed awake to see what would happen. Same thing, it didnt turn the TV off!

Does anyone know how to go about fixing a sleep timer?????

Sarah Connor Chronicles

So I am getting forced to watch the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Its alright, but nothing special.

Also I never really watched the terminator movies. Once Joey made me watch Terminator 2 I think, but I dont really remember it.

Anyway the show seems pretty dumb to me b/c I dont really buy the androids building themselves, and the whole time travel thing is dumb. Basically I guess i dont like AI type story lines I guess. I just dont buy it. I'd rather watch Celebrity apprentice any day of the week.

NYC, Flat Tires, and the coldest weather ever

Tristan Mike and I road triped to NYC this weekend to stay with Leslie and I also saw highschool friends, other friends from home, and my grandmother. So it was a productive weekend.

Unfortunately 15 minutes after arriving in the city and unpacking the car at leslie's mike's car got a flat tire. To Leslie and Tristan's suprise mike and i calmly got out of the car, got the full spare and began to change the tire. Unfortunately certain tools were lost and we couldnt fully change the tire and required a tow...3 hours later we made it to the best mac and cheese restaurant ever!

Somehow we picked the coldest weekend in existance to go visit so one of our first stops was to buy hats, scarves, and really hot and sexy ear warmers. I'm still thawing out from the cold!

The weekend was lots of fun, but I dont think i'll be going back to nyc in the winter months any time soon.
