-Hey Yo! I'm in the middle of yet another exhilerating week, so let's hop into the randomness of my week...
-We had a three day weekend last week due to....the Super Bowl! Shaun is cool to give us the Super Bowl night off work, but only downer about it is we end up working Mon-Fri instead and only have a one day weekend to look forward to. The actual weekend was a bit of a mixed bag. Friday I spent some time with my mom and we watched Me, Myself, and Dupree that I picked up for her this past Christmas. Wasn't that bad of a flick, but it ended up dragging on for a lil longer than I thought it would intially. Scott and his girlfriend, Beth came over later that night and we just played some fun games for everybody like Family Feud, WiiBowling and Guitar Hero.
On Saturday I hung out with Joe, Scott, and Jake. It is really hard to find a game to agree to play with those guys. They even get pissed over Family Feud. We caught some dinner at Wild Wings, and went back and attempted to find some game we can all agree upon playing together to no avail. We ended up watching Employee of the Month later, and Jake looked pissed after it was done, I swear I never saw him so pissed before. I know he said he didn't want to watch it because he hates Dane Cook's stand-up comedy, but at that point in the night I was getting fed up with nobody really agreeing to do anything that when Jake ended up being the only person who didn't want to watch Employee of the Month, he just ended up being the odd man out. I didn't think the film was all that bad. Yeah, so that night ended up being a wash all together.
On Sunday I met up with Rich and Justin along with their girlfriends and a couple other random people to watch the Super Bowl. It was a real fun time, the gals provided plenty of awesome food for the game, and all of us threw down in some 360 action before the game in Smackdown 2007 and Dead or Alive 4. Wish the Bears would have won the game, but oh well, about time Peyton finally won a damn ring.
-I finally finished Season 5 of the Seinfeld DVD set yesterday. I thought it was great how the season ended with things finally going right for George when he decides to act the exact opposite of how he usually does. I am on a roll now with making progress through my many TV DVD sets. This past month I have finished Seinfeld season 5, Firefly, and Chapelle's Show season 1. Next up, the Arrested Development DVDs.
-Mini-movie reviews.....
Employee of the Month - Say what you will about Dane Cook and his style of comedy, but I thought this movie was fine. I am a fan of comedies that place in the work setting like Clerks and Office Space, and while this one isn't anywhere near as good as those films, it definitely had its moments. There were a few dull parts where things just didn't work, but I got the most out of this with a rental.6/10
The Marine - This feels like an ode to the Schwarzenagger classic, Commando. They make John Cena look like Superman in this film. Actually, they make Cena look like a ruthless bitch, not like a hero like Commando did with Arnold. Of course I only saw this because a wrestler starred in it, and yes it isn't all that good and a lot of parts jusdt don't make much sense at all, but on the other hand.....it had some cool explosions. 5.5/10
-I have been scoring half.com and finishing up adding games to my NES and Genesis collection that I have wanted for awhile. This past week I added BaseWars, and Ikari Warriors 2&3 to my NES collection and Shadowrun to my Genesis collection. Ever finding time to play these gems is a whole other issue that I will one day deal with :)
-There is too much wrestling on each week to keep up with!!!! 2 hours of RAW, 2 hours of Smackdown, 1 hour of Impact, 1 hour of ECW, and now a half hour of WSX. I cannot sacrifice 6 and a half hours for wrestling each week, lately it seems I am sacrificing a radom show or two each week because I just cannot commit to 6 and a half hours of wrestling every week. Stop over-saturating the market please!!!
-Thats about all I got for today, later!
