What's new
Well, there's some interesting stuff happening in the Journey world these days. There are only 10 shows left in the Revelation Tour, after which the boys plan to take a break and set aside some dedicated time to work on their next album. They have a DVD of the Manila concert coming out this month. Also, I heard a rumor that Gregg Rollie, their original lead singer and keyboardist, joined them at a Texas concert and enabled them to bust out some really old numbers from the set list. Good times! I don't think he will return to the band at this point, but it would be nice to see him doing some collaborative writing and possibly even some guest work on future releases and tours.
I bought Audiosurf, which is on discount during this weekend for around $4 through Steam! It's a great game, which takes any song on your computer and turns it into a racetrack. Voice oscillation, tempo, speed, bass, waveform....all the stuff that makes up those melodies become components in the track. As the song plays, you have to collect points which are strategically placed throughout the track. All in all, good fun, and I even have the global top score on a few of the songs in my collection! Here's my Audiosurf page, if anyone is interested.
I've been adjusting to my new job. Went in for overtime today, the first day I've worked unsupervised. Did a lot of cleaning around the warehouse, mopping up transmission fluid and sweeping up whatever crap accumulates on the shop floor. It's hard work, but it's good work. The kind of job anyone can do, but which one must be dedicated to do well. I'd say I'm pretty dedicated to it, as I've already received a lot of compliments about my work.
Just keep in mind that my working full time is going to mean I'm around less often during the weekdays. If certain events turn out in my favor, I might get even busier than that. Hopefully, I should still have time on the weekend to take care of rp obligations.
Oh, and before I forget, here's my most recent movie review, this time for Clerks, the 1994 black and white film about Murphy's Law and the working man.

The Salton Sea, the most polluted state park in the United States. Formerly the largest inland body of water in California and an important fishery. Now there is only an 80 mile stretch of abandoned beach towns half buried in the toxic sand. I wonder if they'll ever manage to clean this place up?
So you are driving on the highway, minding your own business when suddenly you come across an overturned truck and 40,000 pounds of sausage in the road. Think that's funny? Check out some of these other bizarre road spills.
Rotten Tomato's list of the 100 worst movies of the last 10 years. I think they missed a few and put a few in there that didn't deserve it.
