Forgetting to Update or Morrowind is Done, Let Us Never Speak of it Again

I totally forgot about updating over the past few days, if anyone actually reads this, I apologize to you for the lack of new and interesting things to discover.
I'd been playing the hell out of Morrowind: GOTY for Xbox and finally beat it. Near the end, it became an exercise in tedium and I just wanted it over with. I have ZERO desire to play through the expansion quests as the main quest more than fulfilled my need for long, monotonous, and text filled adventuring. Oh well, its done.
I was talked into, well not so much talked into as decided... buying ESPN NFL 2K5 for Xbox as both Andrew and Ryan have it. This way we can all play online together. Not knowing a damn thing about football makes playing the game strange, confusing, and random. Ryan flips out at me for always picking the "Coach's pick" plays and then proclaims "how can you not know anything about football?" as if EVERYONE should have intimate knowledge of the game. My skill base comes from anecdotal intelligence in the ways of the gridiron, but I don't mind. Hail Mary's are fun! I'm able to hold my own decently enough when we play, being neither pushed more towards the loss column than the win one.
My new work schedule is a 3 day one, Thursday to Saturday 5:15pm to 11:45 pm. The nice thing about that is that I don't have to wake up early. It might make hanging out with certain people more difficult, as I'll miss whatever movie they decide to go to (then again, they always see shitty ones... which they end up LIKING... like AVP) Seriously, Matt and Kostas are blind when it comes to good movie making. I'm not talking about film, I'm talking movie. Simple action or comedy that isn't trying to be deep or insightful. Even within those confines, the past few flicks I've seen with them would be sub par, but these guys thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread. I mean AVP was ASS. Zero originality or points of interest. It's like they figured they could just toss some aliens at some Predators and have a good movie... sorry, but it takes a little more than that... On the plus side, Collateral was a great movie. It was different than the average thriller and actually had some good acting. (I was expecting Jamie Foxx to suck the big one, but he was really good!)
Tonight I attend a "bachelor party" for Steve (whose wedding I attend Friday). I use quotation marks because I doubt it will be very much like the image of that type of occasion that pops into your mind. Well, who knows... maybe it'll be a wild and crazy time...
