I'm embarrassed to admit this...
…But I didn’t even know J.D. Salinger was still alive. Have I been out of touch or did he just keep a ridiculously low profile?

The Waiting Game
That VGA cable still hasn’t come in for my Xbox 360. Meanwhile, my copy of Mass Effect 2 is on the way from Gamefly and I still have a playthrough from the first game to finish before starting the second one. Patience, please be strong!

Avatar thoughts
I saw Avatar today. For real this time. No technical issues. Working projector with 3D and everything. Overall, I really liked it. First hour was kinda slow, but after that, it really took off. So how was the 3D? Personally, I’ve never been a fan of 3D. I always considered it a gimmick that should’ve died with the 1950’s and I’d never seen anything that made me change...

Elementary
My brother call me up the other day and asked me if I wanted to see Sherlock Holmes with him last night. Apparently, his wife was having a night in wither the girls and needed by brother out of the house for a few hours. I accepted. We had a good time. We actually went out for dinner beforehand at an Italian restaurant.We had a nice talk over dinner. We talked a bit about my work situation,...

The movie day that wasn't
So, I went to see Avatar today. In a theater where it was being shown in 3D! After wanting to see it since it opened, I finally got the chance! So what did I think? Well, I’d love to give you my thoughts, but I can’t. Why? They didn’t show the movie. Before the previews were even over, the projector malfunctioned. We had sound, but no picture. The people at the movie theater...

Bottoms up!
As they say, the nice thing about hitting rock bottom is that you have to crawl out eventually. Looking for a ladder now.

I am Conan O'Brien...Whether you like it or not!
I was just thinking about the whole Conan O’Brien situation and something crossed my mind. Here’s a guy who got his dream gig on a very popular TV show. He did a great job on the show, even when the circumstances he came into it were hardly ideal. The show took a dip in the ratings and the network was clearly working against him. The network blamed him for problems he had nothing to...

Good news, bad news
Good news: I had my stitches taken out today. Thank God. I was never able to get used to having those threads in my gums. Bad news: I’m out of work again. For over a month, my employer told me that due to slow business, she couldn’t even give me five hours of work a week. Curiously enough, my co-worker has been allowed to come to work and earn a paycheck and she says she hasn’t...

Conspiracy Theory
I’m personally not a big believer in conspiracy theories. I believe Oswald shot JFK, the Holocaust really did happen, we actually landed on the moon, Obama is an American citizen, 9/11 was planned out and executed by Al-Qaeda and the Earth is round and revolves around the sun. So what exactly possessed me to watch Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura? Maybe it was morbid curiosity. Maybe I...

Post-Surgery, Day 5
It’s been five days since my dental surgery and I think I’m through the worst of it. The past five days, I’ve experienced pain, discomfort, nausea, exhaustion and feeling doped up and completely out of it. I’m feeling much better now. I was at the point yesterday where I could stop taking painkillers. I still have to take antbiotics, though. The stitches come out on Tuesday...

Note to NBC...
Let Jay Leno go. Nobody wanted to watch his crappy show at 10PM. What makes you think anybody is gonna want to watch it 90 minutes later? Leno’s had his time. Send him off into his not-so-graceful retirement and let Conan O’Brien have his time on the Tonight Show. Seriously, why is it that NBC has their lips planted firmly on Leno’s ass? Between their treatment of Letterman and...

One of those days
Ever receive a reminded of your past that you’d just as soon rather forget? I got one of those today. In this case, it’s certain people from my childhood that weren’t exactly positive people in my life. A consequence for living just a block away from your old grade school. Also, my 32” LCD died. I’m replacing it with a 25” computer monitor. On a positive note,...

Dream doggie
I had an odd dream last night. What I can remember about it was I was back in school and there was a class where I hadn’t done an assignment that put me in danger of failing (I’ve been having a lot of those lately. I don’t know why). I dreamed that I had acquired a bunch of new anime DVD’s and the entire Ramones catalog. But the strangest of all was that my dog Mercy had...

Dopey
I’ve been really feeling the wallop from the medication today. I was in bed until 4:30PM because I was so tired. Even though I’m awake now, I still feel pretty doped out. Having stitches in my mouth is no fun either.

Heading Out To The Highwaymen
Today, while lying flat on my back and too tired from the medication I had to take today, I read the trade paperback for The Highwaymen. It was the first time in about two years I read it. It was a very fun and enjoyable 5-issue action/adventure miniseries that sadly didn’t sell well enough for an ongoing series or another miniseries. It’s kinda like watching a really cool TV pilot...

Dental surgery blues
I went to the dentist’s this morning for some minor surgery to take care of a nerve that was causing an infection. I’ll be spending the rest of the day on antibiotics and painkillers while constantly holding an ice pack to my jaw. Good times!
