Idoru.us

No matter what you do, we’re gonna stand back up again.

So again around this time of year Idoru falls into disrepair as I start cranking out a ton of things in my life. I think the winter (or rather approaching winter) makes me want to be super busy in an effort to catch up on all of the things I neglected during the summer while I was out, you know, having fun and shit. So lets hit some highlights from the past three weeks or so.

About two weeks ago I picked up ODST to expand my game library and to play something with my buddy Trevnor who finally came over to the dark side and picked up a 360. Have to say, he had made me wary of purchasing it and I did find it wholly ironic that he is the reason I ended up picking it up as soon as I did. Either way its a surprisingly fun game. Not perfect but the campaign is something very different from the previous Halo iterations which is cool and the firefight mode is pretty great. So I have been playing a fair amount of that. It also reawakened my hunger for achievements so I went through and 100%ed Shadow Complex and then started picking up relatively easy achievements that I had been missing elsewhere. Its kinda sad how much fun I have with those considering they are wholly worthless. Also played Demos for the following games recently: Transformers, Brutal Legend and Left 4 Dead 2. In order: Clunky, misleading and harder then before. So the only one of those that interested me enough to even consider is L4D2 which I doubt I will bother to pick up. However Assassin’s Creed 2, which is a week or 2 from drop date is a must buy for me. Probably in early January since I am busy with work but still…

Brings us to work. Right now I am not exactly happy with my job. Actually, considering that this is the end of the first week of November I am really unhappy with my job. Its still there and its paying me both of which are good things but aside from the fact that there is nowhere else for me to really go with it (all of that has been completely shutdown) I am just not liking the environment. They are offering some OT which is nice but its certainly not an all day thing and I think that they are going to offer us less then they have in previous years. So, long story short, while I am working there for the moment its not looking like its going to last, that’s for sure. There is other stiff too but its depressing and I don’t want to think about it right now.

Back to some fun stuff, last weekend was a Halloween party, wasn’t really feeling it until i stopped by the bar but it ended up being a pretty great time. Saw a number of friends which is always good and overall just had a great time. Need to see if I can score any of the pictures taken of me from somebody. I know there are some on facebook and the like but not sure how many or even who has them. Except for the picture of me in a compromising picture with a penguin. I know who has that…

Other then that, the days are getting shorter and so forth. It definitely feels like winter, sun is down by about 5 pm which just feels depressingly early. Still today is supposed to be in the 60s so I intend to go for a ride after I work out. Speaking of working out, I have somewhat fallen off in the past few weeks so I am intending to start that up in full swing more or less now. Still though, I have lost around a dozen pounds which is a goddamn great feeling. I am sleeping better, have more energy, etc etc etc. It all sounds like hype but there really is something to working out it seems. No complaints from me.

Other then that, life has been productive and over all just solidly good. So here is a kickin video for you to jam out to and think of me.
