I was trying not to let Chuckles recent WRN posts shame me into posting but sadly they have finally done so. I’ve been meaning to post for a while but then never really doing it. Mostly out of boredom, my life hasn’t been too exciting lately and I can only spend so long boring the internet before finally giving up.
Just a quick run down of things that are pretty enjoyable right now:
- Fall Weather – I was sick of all that summer stuff
- Everyday is another shooter – this PS3 game is pretty cool little shooter that has a nice lo-fi feel
- On-Demand movies – Ricochet, Idle Hands, and Futureworld
- Capital Amber – Replaced Spotted Cow as my beer of choice
Things I’d like to do for a bit:
- Not have to work. Seriously, I just want to spend a month sitting around doing nothing.
- Orange Box – PS3 version doesn’t come out until Dec. 17 and I don’t want to buy it for 360
- GH3/Rock Band – How tough will it be to ‘play’ guitar and sing the part on Rock Band?
- See a decent movie – Fido and Planet Terror on DVD and Amercian Gangster at the theater
Anyway, we’ll start small and work our way back up to a real post.
P.S. I also have no idea what happened to those posts from July/Aug/Sep/Oct. Blogoblin got them I suppose.

Problem is, as soon as you do nothing for a month, you can’t afford to do any of that other stuff.

Problem is, if you do nothing for long enough, you can’t afford to….

‘Tis true. That’s why I need to save up my vacation. Sorry family, I’m not coming to visit because I need to save up time to sit around and watch reruns of the A-Team.
Of course, my desire to sit around doing nothing makes me sound like Ron Livingston in Office Space. That’s not really the case (although I do have a friend who is continually worried about downsizing).

Ricochet is literally the worst movie I have ever seen. You may need to sit around for a month to recover.
I’m still sad I missed Fido at our local pizza pub theatre.

Ricochet is pretty bad. Fortunately I love bad movies (perhaps more than good movies).
Come on, Denzel Washington stripping down to his underwear then pulling a hidden gun and firing a behind the back shot to injure John Lithgow, ending a tense hostage situation. If a movie like that isn’t good, I don’t want to know what is.

I have changed jobs too regularly over the last 10 years (about every 1.5 to 3 years, the nature of the beast), and I make time between each gig to sit around my house, supplemented with a little freelance work. Granted, I don’t have kids. So I can minimize my expenses pretty fast.
I once got downsized on the first day of summer, and started my new gig on the first day of fall. I disliked the VP who informed me, so I thanked him profusely and ended the meeting suddenly by wishing him a good summer at the office, and letting out a ‘wooo hoo!!!’after closing his office door.
