How about that E3, huh? How about it indeed. I haven’t been paying attention to it and it seems the Twitter feed is the only decent summary of all the games being shown, but quite frankly, I’m not terribly impressed save for a couple of notable highlights. Here’s a few thoughts!

You ever get that feeling where you don’t really wake up from a holiday? Like you’re so used to being a complete lazy bastard that you forget your regular life has its occasional periods of productivity every once in a while? Yeah, that’s what I’m having lately. I don’t think it helped that before I went away I was in the midst of a bad cold, so going from dying horribly to procrastinating terrifically probably wasn’t the best of combinations for my work ethic. Looks like it might be another couple of works before I get preparing something for the site. Doesn’t sound like fun.

For the past few weeks I’ve been sorting through the music library on my computer, weeding out any songs I just don’t feel are necessary to hold onto and basically slimming it all down. Apparently I have just under 4000 songs in my music playlist, which actually isn’t as bad as it used to be, but I don’t really listen to music much and when I do I usually just stick with the same old songs I’ve always listened to. There’s apparently over a thousand songs I’ve never actually listened to, and that’s terrible. Or, more accurately, there’s over a thousand songs that I’ve probably listened to once and then skipped over before it truly ends so iTunes doesn’t add a number to its Play Count value. For some reason Play Counts bug the hell out of me. If it’s an unplayed song then sure, no problem, but if it’s one that’s played several times it irritates me to see it continuously rack up. It used to be that every time my brother came over every System of a Down song I would play would rise by like three counts by the time he’d leave. Bugged the absolute piss out of me. I’m just that neurotic.

I’m back. I actually returned home yesterday but I’ve kind of been such a lazy unproductive ass for so long that I was truly unable to write anything. Despite the fact that I’d been keeping a crude journal of my days away, so I could have just copied something from it and through a few pop culture references into it. But I didn’t, because I’m just that lazy.

I’ve officially had this cold for over a week now and it still hasn’t fully cleared up. I hate the world!
Also, just a head’s up, I’ll be away for a week starting from tomorrow. I’ve, uh, no idea where it is I’m going! It’s somewhere in the countryside, I guess, but that’s about as specific as my knowledge goes. It’d be pretty rad if I could say I was taking a holiday to hell, but well, no, that’d be a little unpleasant. The damned do not accept tourists well.

Crap, I just remembered I went to see Robin Hood last week and I didn’t even write my thoughts on it! Man, I’m lazier than I thought, and I can’t even blame the cold on that one.

Y’know, when I started the WordPress one of my ideas was to have a stupid piece of doodling included in each entry, just to liven things up a little. If this is the kind of pleasant imagery I’m going to include, might be best if I didn’t.
If you hadn’t guessed, I’ve got a cold again and it’s left me completely vegetated. I’m serious, I did nothing but sit on my arse all day and play Left 4 Dead 2 because I was literally unable to do anything else. Which is all fine and well in its own right, but when I seriously want to be productive and start doing a bit of work, it’s not so cool. I hope to have a General Writing and maybe an update to the Red Dwarf Section sometime before July, but we’ll just see what happens. You kinda lose the incentive to write when you’re coughing up enormous boogers every day.
Yes, you needed to know that.
And so ends the episode coverage of Cadillacs And Dinosaurs. It’s been an entertaining run, and I’m glad to have given a bit of attention to a cartoon I actually like and not just something I covered solely because it’s a video game adaptation (it was nice to have an opportunity to riff on their general sloppiness, but summarising both House of the Dead movies was a bit of a slog). There’ll be the usual intro and character pages soon enough, but I’ll also be making a page comparing it to the original comic and the changes made in its transition to television, which should be pretty fun!
Also today’s episode has an image of Hannah’s ass, so you know I’m looking out for you, Wes. =P

Like Withnail & I, it’s been suggested to me a million times and I’ve turned it down continuously in favour of something else, and now I’ve finally decided to watch Unleashed, also known by the rather silly-if-contextually-appropriate Danny The Dog in some regions. I was very, very impressed.

Lazy daaaays. Sometimes they’re violently depressing, sometimes they’re crazy awesome. Sometimes they’re just right. Today was of the third flavour! Mind you it’s not quite a lazy day since I was at work, but the fact I’ve done bog-all since getting home definitely gives it the vibe of one.
