The first half of the 2-day season premiere was awesome. They killed off 2 major characters in the first 15 minutes. They just happened to be 2 of my favorites characters on the show. I think the preview for tomorrow night gave away something big, but I’m still looking forward to it. Adios for now.
I’ve been playing this game that a friend of mine owns called Shining Tears. It’s a decent hack ‘n slash RPG. It’s not the best game in the world, but it’s much better when you play it in co-op mode with someone else. We’ve already beaten once and are working on it again in advanced mode. It’s quite a bit harder now.
I still haven’t settle on another MMORPG. World of Warcraft seemed like a great game, but I was trying to play it at the same time as I was playing Everquest II, so WoW got neglected. I downloaded the beta client for Dungeons and Dragons Online last night, and I think I can start playing it on Tuesday. Hopefully it’ll be something I can sink my teeth into.
I rented Indigo Prophecy from Blockbuster. Since when does it cost $8 to rent a game? I got busy and didn’t get to finish it, but it was an interesting game. I may rent it again soon so I can finish it.
Somehow the following entry from December 28 was deleted. I am reposting it here.
Christmas was ok. It’s just not the same without my sister around. I’ve spent so many hours recently watching DVD’s.
For my birthday and Christmas I got:
• money
• Firefly The Complete Series
• Tales of Symphonia (Gamecube game) and the strategy guide
• Pearl Jam Single Video Theory (DVD)
• Star Trek The Next Generation The Complete Seasons 1-7
Tomorrow I head back to Starkville. I’ve got about a week of freedom left before I have to think about work again. Hopefully, this time next year I won’t be living in Starkville anymore. Time to start pimping my resume out again.
All in all, it’s been a pretty good year. Next year will be better.
Although it doesn’t officially go on sale until next week, I hear that some places are already selling the Serenity DVD. I think I’ll go ahead and order it as a Christmas present to myself. Since a friend was nice enough to buy me Firefly as an early birthday present, I think I’ll start watching the series again soon.
So last week was Thanksgiving week. I pretty much had the whole week off. I did as little real work as I could get away with. After pouring more money into my car, I drove it to Jackson and didn’t have any major problems. Whenever I started hearing noises, I just turned my music up louder so I wouldn’t hear them.
Some of the highlights and lowlights of the week:
It was weird seeing all the changes that some parts of Clinton have gone through since the last time I had seen them.
I finally moved into the 21st century and got a DVD burner I’m sure I’ll be burning stuff like crazy over the next few weeks.
Finals are next week and then the semester is over.
The week after I saw Serenity I started watching Firefly and when I finished I was left wanting more. Too bad there are only 14 episodes. I want to watch the whole series over again. I need to buy the box set so I’ll have my own copy. I checked Amazon.com and it looks like Serenity will be out in time for Christmas. That’s pretty good turnaround considering the movie just came out in September. This week I hope to begin watching season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I hear that it’s not the best season, but I have to start somewhere. If I like it I may watch Angel.
The new book in the George R.R. Martin series “A Song of Ice and Fire” came out last week. I hear that it’s only about half the story it was originally intended to be. I’m not in any hurry to buy it. I have enough books that I need to read first.
Gas prices are dropping.
It looks like I’m going to have more free time beginning now. I’ll have to find some way to pass the time. You know what they say about idle hands. It’s weird because when I was a student this would probably be the most stressful time of the semester.
I started on Mercenaries for the second time the other night. Maybe I’ll finish it this time. No, I am not getting an Xbox 360 when they first come out. It can wait.
I’m looking forward to the new Harry Potter, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, and something else I can’t think of right now.
If you own a PS2, you might want to look here.
I went down to Jackson over the weekend with a friend of mine. This was the first time I’ve been to Jackson since the first week of May. It was nice to get out of Starkville for the weekend. We went to the fair with another friend on Saturday night. I think that was the first time I had been to the fair since I was in junior high. On Sunday, we did a little shopping. Some of my clothes are looking raggedy. I also picked up a copy of the new Wheel of Time book. We went to see a movie at the theater in Clinton later on. My mom cooked a huge meal. I haven’t had any home cooking in a while. I finally got to see my diploma which doesn’t even have my major listed on it. I just got back a little while ago and plan on relaxing the rest of the day.
It was nothing too exciting, but the best part was getting out of Starkville.
The new Wheel of Time book had been out for 2 whole days before I realized it last night. In the past I would have snatched up the newest book on the day it was released. I knew it was coming out in October, but I had forgotten the exact date. I’ve just been so busy lately. Supposedly, this book will please fans who have been upset with the pacing of the past few books. I couldn’t find a copy of it at Sam Goody. Maybe I’ll get a chance to look for it when I’m in Jackson this weekend.
I went to see Serenity tonight and I thought it was pretty good. There were some funny parts and the action was good. I have a feeling that I would have been more into it if I had seen the series. Maybe I’ll rent it from Netflix.
I’ve become a Joss Whedon fan all of sudden. I have seen a few episodes of Buffy and Angel, but I never got into them that much. I plan on checking out the first season of Buffy in the near future. And I hear there are plans to make a Spike movie…
Nothing much to see here. I just thought I’d make an update. One of these days I’m actually going to update this site. I’ll add more content and maybe even change the design a little.
I’m working hard for pennies it seems. Shouldn’t I be able to retire at 26? When I do get a little free time, I like to read a book or watch a DVD or play a video game. Does anyone use Netflix and want to be my friend? I actually started back playing games on my PC recently. You can click on the image below to see what I’ve been working on.
