Temporary Insanity

Lego Star Wars 2 has consumed my very soul. If my Mondays were not already busy enough between exercise, Heros, Studio 60, and How I Met Your Mother I now spent my free time trying to collect every last anything in Lego Star Wars 2. Oh I’ve solved the story portion of the game, but there are mini-kit pieces, red blocks, yellow blocks, and hidden characters to collect. I think it speaks to the skill of the developers that something so very simple sounding not only works so well but is so incredibly fun.

Lego Star Wars is why I didn’t make an entry last week. I’ve decided that while I will continue to try and make entires on Mondays I no longer feel obligated to and I will post whenever the hell I damn feel like. I once read somewhere that everyone has about 1000 pages of pure shit in them and they just have to keep writing until they get rid of them all before they can expect to write anything worthwhile. To that end I present the new additional purpose of the blog, bear with me, I’ll reach 1001 eventually.

This weekend provided for much amusement. First Smoking Aces was a decent movie. It was dumb but highly entertaining cause shit was blowing up constantly. You have to love a movie where Ben Affleck is killed half an hour in and his murderer turns him into a puppet. (His best acting since Good Will Hunting.)

Saturday was kind of interesting. I went back to that same bar from two weeks ago only to find that the crowd at this place seems to vary significantly depending on the band, and this particular cover band seemed to attract an older crowd. Old enough that I decided to go cougar hunting. Results were not positive and worse yet I’m pretty damn sure my friend has pictures of the whole thing.

So a horse being put to sleep in national news as of when? Seriously how slow must the news day have been that this is top of the hour coverage. I understand the death of an animal, blah blah blah, whatever PETA wants you to believe, but you seriously couldn’t come up with something better? Last time I checked there was a war going on. Unless someone decided to call that off on Sunday and I just missed it or something.

I’ve lost roughly 12 pounds since Thanksgiving. I’m not telling you this so you can offer support or encouragement, I have my own reason for doing this now. Don’t tell me about your bullshit diets. I don’t want to loose it quicker than this, my current pace is more than adequate thank you. In fact if you loose weight too fast it can cause all sorts of other health issues and since I am rather adverse to having my heart explode this early on I’ll stick to what I’m doing. I merely state this fact so that I can look on at this entry months from now and remember how far I’ve come.

I so need to try and make this happen at my brother’s wedding.
