(no subject)
For all the peeps that are heading out to AX this time tomorrow, I wish you well, have a safe trip, and have fun out there. Hopefully I'll be able to experience it for myself come next year.
So other than work, more MGS 4 playing with Metal Gear Online to boot. It's not bad, it's just got to improve in certain aspects. I haven't played that many multiplayer games (especially online), but for being a free system, it's not that bad.
Then there's "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" which isn't bad either (and it sort of helps when you have a wonderful lady like Billie Piper playing the role. If you're a fan of her work, take a look see on it if you can.
So someone managed to post up something about Quantum of Solace and after checking out the trailer for it (and since I hadn't watched "Casino Royale"), I decided to borrow it from a friend that had it. Now, I've liked Bond since about I was like 10 or 12, when I can still remember watching it over in Chicago with my Aunt on VHS tapes of a copy of "Dr. No," and just remembering all the other films in the series that I liked. Now enter "Casino Royale" and I must say I was really impressed with it. It felt really different having not watched a Bond movie in quite awhile (I think the last one was "Die Another Day" for me). The difference between the previous and this one? I would say it comes down to "realism" when compared to today's world. It didn't try to be all spy gadgetry and when you compare it to the others. Drawing on how the world is today, it plopped the character straight into our current type of world. I think that's why it really works well. Well, that and a lot of great action sequences, a good mixture of story, good music (somehow the opener got in my head), and just overall class. Oh, and I forgot to mention the nice ladies (especially Vesper Lynd <3). I definitely would want to watch it again, because it's just really great.
So in two weeks, I head in to get a medical exam. Haven't had one in awhile and since I'm getting up there in "levels", I might as well check out how I'm doing. Am I worried? A bit. A lot of family history of medical conditions does run through my mind, but I'm hoping that the doctor I'm seeing will not be putting me on any off the wall medications anytime soon. Ironically though I have a lot of family and friends that are medical practitioners (Nurses and Doctors alike run through it), and I'm still wary of heading into a Hospital or other medical area. Don't know why though. I guess I can't trust anything that isn't coming from someone I know already (family friend, etc. that is in said medical field). Have you had that feeling before? Just wondering.
And that's me at the moment in a nutshell. Well off for more sleep because last night, due to some kind of weird dream and/or nightmare I woke up pretty much in a rush and pretty much out of breath and stuff. Hope you're all doing well. Take care and stay safe out there. Ciao ciao for now.
