-Hey yo! I'm typing this in the midst of my first week back to class. Here's the skinny on my classes this semester thus far. Nutrition is what it is, lots of fun health tidbits to learn. I get to keep a nutrition journal and amaze myself at how much I hate cooking at home. College Publications is a one credit course writing for the campus paper. Since I'm in a community college, we only put out three issues per semester, and I'm only required to write one article for each issue. Finally, Hispanic Cultures seems like it could be fun. Our professor is funny, and very energetic, and I actually looked forward going to today's class.
-Last weekend of the summer I did a lot of the same. On Saturday, Dick & Dave came by and we recorded what will hopefully be the first of many episodes of our new wrestling podcast, The Cheap Pop. If you're a wrestling nerd like myself, please give it a listen. Had a ton of fun recording the show, it's a work in progress still, but right now our format is covering the week in wrestling programming, along with 24/7 and indy feds like ROH & PWG, as well as hitting up some rapid fire news discussion.
After the recording session, I caught Death Race at the theater with my dad and Joey. Never caught the Sly original, but I still liked this nonetheless. Gritty action, with lots of explosions, but the narrative could have used some serious work, it breaks down in a couple of spots. Jason Stetham doesn an awesome job in his role of the framed criminal forced to race for his freedom, and this flick delivers where it counts, and that is obviously the races. 7/10
-Sunday went well, visited family some and then helped Chris move a couple recliners. Afterwards, Chris and I met up with Scott and we did our usual Rock Band session. We completed the gigs for another town in our world tour, but I believe we still have 5 or 6 left so we have to pick it up because Rock Band 2 is only a few precious weeks away. After the Rock Band goodness, I brought over Harold & Kumar 2, and that is still as awesome as I remember. Glad I made sure to catch the post-credit bonus this time around. After the flick, recorded our usual gaming podcast (we talk a lot about Star Wars - The Force Unleashed, download it!
-Don't have a lot to discuss gaming wise since class has sucked up a lot of my other spare time. I watched Chris & Scott have a blast with the Force Unleashed demo, which we discuss a lot in the aforementioned podcast. Played some more GTA IV, knocking out a couple of achievements (getting all of Brucie's email orders for cars, island-to-island cab ride). Did some more FlatOut online with Joey, which seems to slowly have more people playing online far after its release where I'm use to it being the other way around. Put a couple more hours into MGS4 before finally returning it to my coworker who borrowed it to me. I'm ashamed of myself, I think he lent it to me for a good two months, and I only managed to invest about 7 hours of game time. I did enjoy it tho, and once it becomes a Greatest Hits, I'll make sure to pick it up.
-Been watching way too much wrestling lately, now I'm trying to watch all prime time programming every week so I can be fully prepped for every podcast we record. Don't know how long I'll be able to keep that up, but what we plan on doing is assigning shows to each host so we all don't feel obligated to watch every show every week. We also randomly picked a piece of WWE 24/7 content to watch for the next recording. I drew the latest installments they have up from the Steve Austin Best of DVD that's been out for a few months, so I decided to just finally start that DVD since it's in my backlog anyways. About an hour into it where it's covering his stint in ECW. This DVD follows a format where there's brief 2-3 minute interview clips with Austin, and then a match. It works, but I'm more of a fan of WWE's traditional 90-120 minute in-depth, documentary of the wrestler, followed up with a disc of extra matches.
-That wraps it up for this week, peace!
