-Hey Yo! Another week is in the books. Short school week this week, today will be the end of it, and I'm already picking out next semester's classes. Right now it looks like I'll be signing up for American Popular Music and Comp II, with maybe US Hitory II thrown in as well.
-As far as my tv watching habits go right now, I am currently watching about 11 shows I tape regularly (yes I admit I am too lame to upgrade to DVR/Tivo, I probably would but I am just so dead set against paying a monthly fee for it when I can do it for free by taping it via programming my VCR to do it automatically, if anyone else has DVR/Tivo tho, please let me know and why you prefer/like it over taping). I'll just list my day-to-day view habits here. Feel free to reply back with your television viewing schedules too
Sunday: Simpsons, Family Guy, War at Home
Monday: RAW (will include 24 once that debuts in January)
Tuesday: ECW (will include Shield once that also debuts in January)
Wendesday: Lost
Thursday: Office, My Name is Earl, TNA Impact!
Friday: Smackdown
Saturday: Gamehead
-Did you hear Bob Barker is finally leaving the Price is Right this June after 35 freaking years!?!? It'll be hard to imagine the show without that guy, I use to watch that show a lot way back when. Surprised they never did a video game of that.
-Last weekend went by allright. On Friday I hung out with Scott and Chris mostly. Brent and his friend Zach swung by too for a little while, first time I saw them in a couple months. Brent told me was moving to Minnesota because of his new job he got travelling installing surveillance systems. He was already doing it for a month and a half and came back to grab the last of his stuff, but said he'll still swing by from time to time. For the little while he was over we rocked out to Guitar Hero one last time, and then Chris showed off some Final Fantasy XII before Brent and Zach took off. Right after they left, Chris, Scott, and I all played the special Family Guy edition of Monopoly. I ended up getting eliminated first, and Scott won it all in the end.
I celebrated my niece's birthday twice over last weekend as well. Bob's daughter Makayla turned three, and on Friday a lot of us celebrated it at McDonalds, and then on Saturday a lot more immediate family celebrated it at their place. Pretty fun times overall, and I got to actually hang out with my brother-in-law Shawn for a bit Saturday night for the first time in a while. He's been on leave a bit lately for the Air Force, and I always enjoy hanging out with him. Shawn and I went to Buc's to play some blackjack. I spent my usual $20 whenever I do Blackjack every few months, but this time I'm proud of myself instead of making it last the usual 10 minutes for me, I actually made it last a good hour more than that. I was never up big, most I was up was about $5, so it wasn't a major loss for me. Joey was jealous he missed out on our Monopoly session the night before so Joe, Shawn, a couple of Joe's friends and I all did another session of Monopoly. Fun times overall
Sunday ended the weekend on a good note. I met up with Rich to watch the 49ers against the Vikings. They only meet once every three years, and last time Vikes trounced them 35-7 in 2003. With the 49ers being an even shittier team than last time they met, I was prepared for the same fate. That didn't happen to my surprise, as the Niners won in a game of field goals, 9-3. Plenty of others called it a boring game to which I don't blame them, but it was the complete opposite for me, my two favorite teams to watch going at it was bliss all the way to the end. I kept thinking the Niners were going to fuck it up since the Vikes were always just a TD away from taking the lead, but we got lots of lucky breaks with turnovers, and especially when Williamson dropped that wide open pass. I won a $1 off a co-worker from work on the game too, I should have bet $5, but that's how much faith I have in my team at this point. We're still in the run for our division tho!
-Didn't get a chance to get much into Saint's Row or Test Drive Unlimited last weekend, a little bit but not much. Most of my spare time was spent playing through a couple games I reviewed you can check out by clicking on the following links: World Championship Poker: All In, Family Feud
-I would have more to say but class is about start....so latez!
