Lighthearted Friday

It's been nothing but heavy handed topics on this blog as of late. So I'm changing it!! Changing it I say! Behold, a list of things that are fun and jovial and lighthearted! Behold!

Inside Man: Go see this movie. It's really very, very cool. First off, it's a Spike Lee movie I can stand. I hate so many of his movies, mostly because he calls them "joints". Shut up. Stop talking and just show me your damn movie already.
OK, so this one is cool. It has Denzel in it, and he's great. Clive Owen, while having no emotional range at all, manages to have a role that fits him perfectly. And Terrance Blanchard did a fantastic soundtrack that really gives the movie a nice vibe. It was nice to walk out of a theater and be happy that you spent your money. I highly recommend this one.

Xbox 360: So, my friends and family were overly generous this year for my birthday and bought me a 360. This thing has really taken over my life lately. With this Achievement system, everything you do in a game can earn you points that go on this GamerScore. The GamerScore gives you nothing. Not a damn thing. But it's bragging rights we're going after here, people. Bragging rights. The fact that I got the Style Racer Achievement on Project Gotham Racing 3 and no one else on my friends list has makes me the man. You heard me. The man. The stylish man. I actually celebrated with a dance when I completed it. Yeah, that's what this machine has done to me. Yeah, it really is a strange motivator for a person like me how needs lists like that to accomplish something. Now, if only other areas of my life would have an Acheivemnt list like that. Then I'd really get something done.

Check me out:



Temperatures: The temperatures in our little frozen end of the world are now reaching the 50's on a regular basis. Soon, it will reach the 60's and spring will truly be here. I can't wait for summer and the rising temps just make me happier and happier. Let's get this show on the road, eh?

Ice Age 2: I hate all computer animation that doesn't have Pixar's name attached to it. But this movie actually looks like it might be a good one. I dislike these "we have famous people as voice actors" movies, but it sounds like this one is an actual good movie. Word.

Timberwoves: While my beloved Wolves are wallowing in one of the worst seasons on record, I do get to see them for free. My amazing and talented wife is singing the National Anthem at the Wolves game on Sunday, and we get in to see the game for free. How cool is THAT? I get to hear my wife perform at the Target Center and then I get to watch the Wolves get it handed to them live. Neat-o!

Houses: Pending a little problem with some plumbing, we may actually have our very first home today! Very exciting and yet very nerve racking when you realize you know nothing about fixing a house. And our house if very old. Oh, so very old. Still, it's ours and that means a great deal. More on that later.

Okay, enough jovialness. Happy Friday everyone.
