Ok it's been i while since wrote anything. I have been very busy and haven't had the time to write when i had the energy, nor the energy when i had the time. This isn't going to be my best work. It will not be clever. It will not be particularly well written. It's not going to be an interesting experiment, i can't type fast enough to do stream of consciousness. I'll just be writing a lot of the things i've been meaning to write and have not.
First up: Work
Business is good. Better than good, actually it is great. I have rediscovered that i really like doing my job. I enjoy going to work for the first time in years. How could i have known thirteen months ago that Brad being a greedy bastard would be the best thing that could happen to me. I am a better lawyer than i was a year ago. I don't have to fall on my sword to protect anyone anymore. I get to do things the way i think best. Turns out i am good at this stuff.
Second: MtG
Zendikar is great. No precious treasure treasure for me, but i don't have any complaints. This is a fun, well designed set. Drafting is fun and there has been plenty of drafting going on at Top Shelf. Standard sucks, but that happens, we'll see if it still sucks when the next set roles around.
I don't play as often as i have in the past. Work keeps me busier than in the past. And because i like what i am doing at the office i have less need for distraction. The amount of time i play will likely decline more, but that's not so bad. I'll not quit, quitting is for losers.
Third: Xbox
No not the 360, we'll get to that. I've been playing Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. In fact, i finished off The Vizier on Thursday and it was pretty satisfying. I need a new Xbox controller. Anyone know where you can still get the big one?
Fourth: TV
The 2009 season is weak. Community is ok. Erin likes it, ok not really; but she does like watching it with me and that is nice. I don't think there is another show new to this season that i have any desire to watch. Modern Family was disappointing. Ed O'Neill is still good, but the writing on the show is weak and the characters are just caricatures. HIMYM is still excellent as is Big Bang Theory. House is a little uneven and the Chase subplot is weak but over-all the show is still one of the best on TV. Burn Notice and Psyche are great and i look forward to new episodes returning. Monk is good, i'll miss it when it is gone. Dollhouse has been canceled. Another Joss Whedon show dies a premature death. Booth loves Bones, good. I want to see them together; i am a total shipper.
Fifth: Scrubs
Scrubs is coming back. I do not approve. I do not want to see Scrubs: the Next Generation. JD and Elliot are back for the first six episodes, so i'll be there. I plan to keep an open mind and if Mr. Lawrence can work his magic once more, i'll stick around.
Sixth: Xbox 360
I sure hope Modern Warfare 2 is everything it is touted to be, because now i don't get Dead Rising 2 or Bioshock 2 until next year. I hope you are all happy. Screw that, i hope Modern Warfare 2 sucks and you all wasted one hundred and fifty bucks on the super deluxe version and then broke your night vision goggles.
Seventh: Amazon sucks
Amazon doesn't really suck, but in the last month i've had three orders canceled. This is unprecedented. Mr Bezos, you let me down; i am not mad, just disappointed.
Eighth: Spectromancer
Totally worth the twenty bucks. Download it yourself and play the ten free games you get. If you don't have twenty bucks then sell some plasma and buy this game.
There that ought to be enough for now. Now you are all caught up.
Later
Bob
