From game-playing friend in China who drew more artwork of the characters a co-worker and I play in the online RPG Final Fantasy XI. My Red Mage isn't seen that often anymore - I'm usually on Paladin or Beastmaster - but it's what I was first known for and is apparently what she remember best. This is the fourth time she's drawn my cat-lady....

One word: Peggle.
Unbelievably addictive for something so simple. I was ready to mock the friend I saw playing it earlier until he tossed me a 360 controller and challenged me to some two-man competition rounds. I'm so getting this game for the DS and maybe my own 360.
Other than that it was just a quiet evening of hanging out with a...

Quiet day. Quiet week so far. Insanely quiet. The newsroom has been so emptied out by spring fever or allergies you could almost hear a pin drop, which is funny since I usually hate the noise but find myself missing it now that it's gone.

Sleepy weekend. Sleepy Sunday anyway. I went out and saw Monsters vs. Aliens on Saturday and spent the rest of the evening watching the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm at a friend's apartment. Both were pretty good, though I still like Seinfeld more than the latter.
Monsters vs. Aliens is probably the only way I can take Reese Witherspoon anymore
Sunday was long hours...

I don't totally disagree with you on J.J. Abrams. While I love Lost, I'll never love it as much as, say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Firefly. Or, even X-Files (before season 7 and beyond). But I did like his M:I 3 and Cloverfield was entertaining enough for his producer credit to count somewhat. Alias was a decent show, but not great, and I never bothered with Felicity.
As for the new Star Trek, I have reservations about it beyond J.J. taking the reins. If anything, he's one of the few (relative) bright spots. I mean, I dig John Cho, but he isn't Japanese. And I love Simon Pegg, but he isn't Scottish. Both of those castings strike me as vaguely racist. Why not try to get Ken Watanabe as Sulu-- based on what I know about how they're updating that character, an older, experienced guy seems more apt. Plus, he's, you know, Japanese.
Rambling concluded.

The only thing I've been listening to since yesterday afternoon is Crack the Skye by Mastodon. So fucking glorious, with riffs that sometimes remind me of mid-Ozzy era Sabbath and songs that never slip into being just background music for me. For me it holds itself together better than anything else they've done in the past. I don't recall the last time I fell in...

Was that a serious question? Hah, of course I did! I watched all the episodes on Tuesday. I'll probably start watching the episodes with commentary tonight. I have to prepare myself for that sort of entertainment.

I'd so do The Monarch. Only if Dr.Girlfriend was cool with it. Shit, I'd do her, too. So I guess a threesome. Haha! Who would you do?

Rainy day, rainy day. My bones are aching at the moment from the weather and maybe a bit of a bug that's going around and starting to scratch at my throat. Traffic was snarled up downtown because a funeral was being held for a state supreme court justice, but wasn't an issue since I walk to lunch. The rain that drizzled down on me with...

Didn't leave the house at all this last weekend. I didn't even get out of bed until some time after 7 p.m. Saturday. Absolutely no energy and a throbbing head on top of it all. I got up and moving after taking some migraine pills, but this is the laziest and most sluggish I've been in a long, long time. I probably could have slept...

aaaaaaw your so cute! Thanks 
Well..that was a long week. So happy I get to leave work as early as 1 p.m. everyday (it more than makes up for going in during the small hours), but some days just seem to drag on forever even when you're getting out early.
I want to sleep the whole weekend away.

I'd like to see him do a third Watchmen review/2nd blog post. One that doesn't concentrate almost solely on Dr. Manhattan. Granted, he's a major focal point in both book and film, but there's more going on than tachyon interferences and quantum mechanics, you know?
I nodded off at work today. I partly blame the comfy, custom-ordered chair the guy who uses my computer on the night shift ordered, but for the most part it's the dead silence of the newsroom after our deadline has passed and the pages have been sent back to hit the press. That said, this is West Virginia - I could fall asleep trying to...

I went to see The Last House on the Left today. A pretty good remake in my opinion. I was surprised by how many older folks were in the audience, not to mention how many couples were there. A film about sadistic murder and rape doesn't exactly strike me as date material. Even more fucked up was hearing a small child talking here and there...
