Holy crap I'm tired....

A little over three weeks ago, all I was concerned with was trying to show up to work on time and the next video game that would preoccupy my boredom. Since then, my world has turned upside down.

A week and a half ago, I burnt the midnight oil (so to speak) so hard that I crashed after 4 days. I'm getting to old to do that during the week. This past week, I've been running on nothing short of adrenaline and caffeine. Sleep, unfortunately, has not been much of an option between the multiple runs both days over the weekend (good 12 hour days that I haven't pulled off in a long time) for the big stuff and two days of late night cleaning and cramming the remaining miscellaneous junk in the Jeep after work. I barely have anything unpacked. Last night was supposed to be something of a relaxing evening with someone I first met three weeks ago. The evening was perfect, everything went great, and it was relaxing. But you know how it is when your sleeping arrangements change.... I haven't slept next to someone in about 5 years. Needless to say, I'm lucky if I got any more than 45 minutes of snoozing in at a time. It's not her fault, she slept like a rock. Since I burnt out the last of my adrenaline on Tues, I'm left with just caffeine to keep me going today. Thank goodness there's only two more days left in this week. I am definately looking forward to my 3 day vacation this weekend. ;)

So, I know some of you are asking, "Someone?" Yes. Someone. :) I'm going to leave it at that for now because I don't want to jinx anything.

BTW, It's about that time... less than a month left:

Schweet!

Somebody put Vick in the pit!

I was soooo going to aviod this as it really chaps my ass.

I just finished reading Eric's blog on the whole Michael Vick trial, and I couldn't hold back any more. Celebs really piss me off when they do something so stupid and inhumane then expect us, the reason for their idolization, for a slap on the wrist and no supper. I say fsck that! Put his ass down there in the fighting pit and let him survive. If he doesn't, string him up out back and see if he survives. He needs to be somebody's biotch for a little while.

There. I said it. Vick, how could you be so damned stupid and inhumane. I'm ashamed to call you our QB.... Know this: karma's a bitch. I hope you get yours.

This is just.... wrong.

Hey, I love video games, too. I like to think I have a life outside of them, tho. Apparently, this guy is very confident in his geekiness.

Yes, that is a SEGA tatoo on a leg.

Speaking of lives... I have one right now, so my posting is probably going to dwindle away to nothing for a while. Yay me! :)

BTW, I have a little more than 2 months to make my launch date for the webcomic I set last year. Think I'll make it? Guess we'll have to see. ;)

Rumors abound...

I'm going through my blog subscriptions from the last week to kill time before my road trip. The guys over at the Xbox 360 Rally have been eating up the rumor-mill, and I just have to throw in my $0.02 worth (because it's not worth $0.10).

To start off, I'm peeved that Sony is discontinuing the 60G PS3 model. Not that I plan on getting a PS3 any time soon, but in addition to that statement, they will no longer be using the "Emotion" hardware chip for games backwards compatibility (in favor of a software solution, al la 360). This was the primary selling point for me with Playstation in the past, and an extremely pisser point when I bought my 360. Now I'm going to have to scour eBay for a 60G model once the new Ratchet and Clank and Final Fantasy games are released. The point? Is Microsoft ditching the Core? For their sake, I hope not. This next-gen (if you can still call it that) console war between MS and Sony is getting ridiculous. It's starting to sound a lot like the HD-DVD and Blue-Ray competition. Meanwhile, Nintendo is sitting back in their corner laughing.

Next on the list, the 360 price drops are getting insane. The Premium went from $399 to $349 and, now, to $329? Talk about trying to make up for bad blood with the "red ring of death" problem. To top it off, come September (just in time for Halo 3), the Premium consoles should be having their own little HDMI ports! Now the question begs, is it really worth an extra $170 for a 100G more and a black exterior (as apposed to white)? Sounds like MS is up to something devious... but what? ;)

Ok, so my ranting is done. I need to get on the road. A 4hr road trip awaits me, and I need to hit my destination before 6:30p. 3nj0i mulling over those rumors and keep an eye on the Rally for more detailed coverage than I'll ever give. :)

Totally stoked!!

Ok, so remember how I said my 360 needed repairs? Well, it turns out, I got it back a whole lot faster than I had anticipated. To top it off, they just sent me a whole new unit. I'll have to post a scan of the letter, next time. It just needed a new DVD drive, sheesh. Well, I guess with all the changes to the support infrastructure and the 3 year extension on all systems, they're just canceling out any risks by making sure all systems meet the new internal hardware requirements. So, anyway, I'm totally stoked to have it back. I've been jonesing to play some Guitar Hero.

Well, after a completely unproductive post, I'm going to get back to cleaning my DVR off. It's at 99%, again.... You'd think I'd learn by now quit recording shows that I'm never going to watch.
