I’m Hearing: Beck - Lonesome Tears
That’s really the name of my video card, I shit you not. It’s an off-brand version of the ATI card by Powercolor. Hehe.
Been a very quiet weekend. Friday hachi came over and we played a bit o’ Dungeon Siege. My new video card arrived via FedEx (3 days after I ordered it, w00t!) but I haven’t installed it yet since the other parts for the new computer have not arrived yet. Hopefully sometime this week.
Saturday morning I got up and played some Dungeon Siege with Aussie Will and his level 150 hacked character…heh. Went home (parents’ house) for laundry then went rollerblading all afternoon by myself. It’s not quite as fun alone, becomes more like just exercise, but it still felt great. My legs and ankles are a little sore now though.
At suppertime rather than eating, I decided to take a nap cos I was exhausted from zooming around on skates. Somehow I managed to sleep for 2 hours and when I woke up it was after 8 PM and I was very confused. I thought it was 8 AM on Monday for some reason and I started thinking I was late for work. And I was starving. So I had some corn flakes (haha, I almost typed korn flakes >_<) and was going to settle down for a night of gaming when Dave messaged me asking if I wanted to come along with him and Jon to see Hulk. So I went.
I really wasn’t very impressed with that movie. Some of the transitions between scenes were cool, and I liked the idea they were going for with the comic-book like framing in parts, but…the story was too scattered….it was like they were trying to make the movie like 5 different genres that didn’t quite mesh together right. Their choice of shots for the comic book framing were not chosen well in my opinion, so the execution of that was weak. The character of Bruce seemed kind of hollow…the deep psychological damage that was supposed to propel his anger seemed forced. And the credits at the beginning…well, it was a good idea in theory but the execution was weak there too. I found myself checking my watch every 15 minutes or so once we were about an hour into the film…and I actually found myself bored. <shrug> Oh well. And Jennifer Connelly is soooooo skinny…sheesh.
Before the movie the guys and I went to Barnes & Noble and I bought American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I remembered awhile ago at least one half of Julesenrosey (sorry, can’t remember who!) was saying what a good book it was and I’ve noticed it in the store the last couple times I’ve been there so this time I bought it. Started reading it last night and got hooked right away. So I think I’ll be reading today.
Oh yeah, Friday I went and exchanged the busted router for a new one…ever since I plugged it in, I’ve been having no end of trouble with ip addressing, especially in regards to my shit machine that is dying. sigh The parts for my new computer cannot arrive soon enough….
