I was going to write a post about video games, but I’m going to save it later. And maybe elsewhere So, other stuff: wrote my thoughts about Scott Pilgrim over here. I think that might have been the first movie I’ve seen in a theater in…uh, I don’t know. May go see Inception or something this week; [...]
Took a mental night off. Maybe not literally, because I really can’t ever stop mental, but a night off from creating or writing or editing or fixing stuff. It’s been a long few days. Plan was to watch the Cubs and maybe read (1), but a second night in a row with a disaster start [...]
If I’m not writing things here, maybe I can use it to link to long-ish stuff I write elsewhere? Over on the-W, I wrote a post about the PS3 kart game I’ve been playing a lot lately. Game is good, post is eh. The one thing I forgot, but is true of all almost games [...]
Since my kinda-sorta protest is almost over, maybe I should get this up it’s out of date. Went to Cougars vs LumberKings game last night, the first game officially on my truncated ticket package this year. There are 3 more games in the next two weeks, very annoyingly designed. Game was zooming around for the first 7 innings. No [...]
“Rey Bucanero”, Right Wing, Sniper. Think I scored 1 goal and picked up an assist in the prospects game. Was drafted 7th (?) by the Dallas Stars. Spent most of the first half of the season on the Texas Stars (least creative team name ever, and there sure are a lot of AHL teams in [...]
If Xavier Nady’s 2010 is 85% of Xavier Nady’s 2008, it gives the Cubs a much improved backup at the corner outfield positions and first base. It pushes Micah Hoffpauir off the team, but Micah had really pushed himself off the team with his 2009 struggles. The concerns are everyone’s been very careful to say [...]
Marlon Byrd for 2009 seems like a fine enough idea, but I hated that deal when it was announced. It’s yet contract made longer than it needed to be, and weighed towards the end, making the player harder to move as his performance goes down. That’s the formula Hendry’s stuck to, and it’s only caused [...]
Because why write three posts when you can make it one? Things get longer once I start writing them. — We’ve been pretty much spared a blizzard this week, maybe by all of two degrees. Lots of precipitation, but the thermostat has been hanging around the 34 (1!) degree, and so things haven’t gone completely [...]
I’ve recently started using Remember the Milk as a cloud based task manager service. It’s helpful for the obvious reasons, reminding me to do stuff (gotta go pick up dry cleaning as soon as I get done with this) and as an idea dump place, but I actually more enjoy it just for the sense [...]
So. Uncharted 2 comes out in about 24 hours, so there goes the chances of getting anything done the rest of the week. It’s not like I ever finish writing a post for this without distractions, and this will make sure I won’t (hopefully!) Instead of wasting, I figure I might as well reuse – [...]
