My couch missed me !!!

After being so busy the last few weekends I spent this one planted on my couch!

Ok I admit, I played about 20 hrs of that Xbox game, and am now on Disc 3. My biggest complaint is too much cut scenes. If you have ever played a lengthy game, the 'cut-scene' is one of those movie like parts, that you just read and watch. I want more game!!

I did a few other things, but the only time I actually left the house was to walk down to the gas station for more smokes. I stayed up til around 2 am Friday and Saturday nights, so of course Sunday night was the first nite I went to bed around my normal 11pm time, before my 5:30am wake up. I overslept. That's how it works isn't it, the day I actually need to get up is the one I sleep without waking up 2-3 times. (I still woke up around 2am for some reason, before dozing back off).

I watched the three Netflix movies I had also, sending all three back this morning. Invisible Target, was a kung-fu movie that caught my eye, because Jackie Chan's son was in it. It was ok, nothing that blew me away. I was excited to get back into the swing of The Shield, then disappointed the disc I had was the last one of season 4, so all it had was the season finale, and a short documentary (I watched both). I'm not saying I didn't like it, just that I was drooling about getting a full 4 episodes. Guess I have to wait for when season 5 starts arriving. I finished with an anime movie. There are a few must see anime (Japanese animation movies) like Akira, or Ghost In the Shell, Ninja Scroll, and this one easily is now in my must see list. I heard about it on G4 (TV Channel). I'm not into the kiddie anime, cartoony ones. The anime classics I listed above all have a deep storyline, great script, animation, and I'd recommend any of them. The new one I just watched is titled Vexille. I plan on buying this on Blue-Ray when it's released next month. You'll have to read the subtitles, for the trailer, the actual movie you can choose English in the setup. And Kel......this was rated PG-13, so Ty could watch on your discretion.

(*Kel......this one is NOT for Ty, there is some nudity, and adult content in it!)



---Off topic so far these 'trailers' are fan made, by the same youtube poster. I am going to subscribe to his channel, he does great work.

Ghost in the Shell

(*Kel, no on this one for Ty also)
The story here is great, very philosophical, there are a few scenes in it that are amazing.




The classic, daddy Anime of them all. Anyone who has ever seen an anime movie, knows this one.


Akira
Just a note, this movie, was released in 1995, so if you compare the animation from it, and Vexille, you would definitely see an improvement. You have to give props where they are due though, Akira was the breakthrough anime movie for us westerners.



Enough of the Anime, I also watched my recorded DvR of Sons of Liberty, and the premiere of Tru Blood on HBO (Sons on Fx). Both were very good. I was happy to see Tru Blood isn't going to be some cheesy vampire show, like Buffy.

To finish up, some friggin awesome news!! One of my favorite singers has a new album releasing at the end of this month. William Fitzsimmons. I plan on pre-ordering it today. Here is a video from his last cd, which I still listen to, start to finish, every few days.

William Fitzsimmons "It's Not True"



I am guessing that anonymous comment was made by D-Lo? I plan on picking a calendar date for my trip the next couple of days, the wheels are in motion!

ciao!
