Tuesday nights - not just for the vertically challenged anymore
Since I hadn't seen my brother or his slime-loving SO for several weeks, I tripped into town to nod hello.
True to form, bro (to be referred to as 'Rickets' for the rest of this post) was a bit on the late side. I assume Rickets was artfully arranging his hair and eating several sandwiches when he should have been walking to meet me at the theatre. ;)
Rickets and I saw Shaun of the Dead. And it was entertaining. It moved at a good pace, had suitably quirky characters, and laughed at itself enough that I didn't get to pick it to pieces. If you're looking for something to see, don't want to think much, and want to smirk... this is for you.
After that, we went back to their place and I played Prince of Persia on the X-box. It's interesting, it kind of reminded me of when Tomb Raider first came out, although it's a bit more obviously linear. They did a good job with small details like rusty dust puffing off when you jumped to hang from a horizontal flagpole, for instance.
However, the repeated cinematics got a bit old. Like every time you finish a fight, it plays a clip where you sheathe your weapons, with wind blowing in your hair anime-style. But the game seemed fun, what I played of it.
I've got to make more time to do social-esque stuff. It's not like I have a career I'm concentrating on, after all. :P
In other news, somebody appears to have stopped talking to me. I know it's not my breath, and it can't be my personality since I'm no more obnoxious than I ever was, so I'm hoping that it's just a mix-up and I haven't actually offended them.
So if you're reading this, pretty please with sugar on top... drop me a line. M'kay? :)

Someones stopped talking to you? Did you seriously offend again? With your Ice cold titanium logic? or was someone just over sensative....again? ;)
I hope the person comes to grips with what you be Jiving and come to dance your Jive Jig once more I encourage this person also.
All Hail The Crimson King!
Oh, methinks something or other got blown out of proportion on the old faster-than-light rumour drive, and it slammed into the unsuspecting victim with a serious momentum and a ferocious tau factor to boot. It'll smooth over, I'm sure. We've endured worse. :)
