Hola.
I'm posting just to post. I haven't put anything new here in over a month, mostly because there's just not a lot that has my crank wound up lately.
Today is a very exciting day in the XBox 360 nerd kingdom. There is a new firmware update out that allows us to communicate with MSN Messenger users while playing games and shit on the XBox. Since almost everyone I know uses AIM this is worthless, but still neat. I'm mostly interested in the fact that it now tells you the name of the game sitting in the tray.
Last week's episode of Lost was the best one I've seen in months. Normally I live to see Sayid go nuts, but this time it was Sawyer's turn and I wasn't let down. Until that ep, I wasn't even sure that the dude who played Sawyer was a real actor.
Spiderman 3 the movie was good, Spiderman 3 the game is ok. Neither one really lived up to the expectations I had. I blame the Playstation 3.
I hate having small children. I don't find most of their antics amusing, and it's like raising amphetamine-addicted monkeys. The boy shows flashes of turning into a normal human being, but the girl is just crazy. However, she is developmentally farther along than the boy was at 8 months, so I'm hopeful that everyone will be eating, dressing, bathing, and pissing on their own in a few short years. We're trying to teach the boy number recognition, and it made me painfully aware that I'm the black sheep of the family by not having the patience to teach in my genes. He just doesn't retain what numbers look like, except for "1".
Wifey got a very nice raise today (much bigger than my '07 bump), so good for her. Her birthday is also the 17th, so say something nice in her LJ.
Mother's Day is this weekend. Torture awaits. Both my mother and wifey are conspiring to make me go to the Tulip Festival for the first time in DECADES, and I'm dreading it. Has anyone reading this gone in a recent year and had fun? If you did, let me in on your magic secret. The last time I went, I remember it being excruciating.
Hopefully I'll post again before July.
