Working and Laz-ing or So Much Music!

Not too much to report over the past little while, just doing the norm of work, and relaxing type stuff. Plenty of things watched, played, and read. Of particular note is the story of Stampede Wrestling "Pain and Passion" which was an awesome read. I also picked up a massive biography of Alec Guiness for 10$ in the bargain bin of McNally. Yay for Alec Guiness!
I now have 30 Gig's of music on my computer. That's pretty much all of my CD's now in digital form. Soooooo much to choose from. It's overwhelming at times. The new TOOL album is great stuff.
The Sens lost the first two games of their series with Buffalo. That blows. They damn well better come back! We can't have a Canadian team shut out AGAIN. Not with the new parity in the league.
The new Nintendo system, named WII, has some promising ideas and should be really different. At this point however, I am seriously uninterested in video games. The repetitive and stale genres have beaten this once proud gamer into boredom. It's hard to want to play another FPS, sports game, or racing game. Maybe a wonky new control style will be just the ticket. I also ditched my DS, which had some cool games and interesting concepts. I could still get a DS Lite, but I am thinking that handheld gaming just isn't for me. It's hard enough to want to play games at home, let alone on the go. The damn thing hurts my hands as well. It's not ergonomic for my large digits. Every gameboy has done that to me and yet I keep getting them! Curses! No more!
Any movie about counterfeit jeans has to be at least somewhat entertaining, and "Knock Off" managed to be just that. Not oscar caliber or anything, just fun and silly. Although I hate Rob Schneider with the fires of all hell.
Needing some drive.
