Bleh. I appear to have gotten into a rut; posts on this site that don’t have to do with news are now appearing on a weekly basis. Hrm…. granted, I was never a post whore like others I know, but on the other hand I had thought I might post more than that. Ah, well… at least the site’s being updated regularly. Truth be told, not all that much has been happening on this end to begin with…
It’s been a relatively slow weekend. Yesterday morning I got my hair cut, and I also got a new pair of sunglasses. The glasses are different than previous pairs I’ve had, as they’re rimless. I’ll just have to learn to be more careful with them. On the other hand, they’re just like the last two pairs I’d gotten in that they came with a pair of clip-on sunglasses that fasten over the nose bridge. In a way, with the clip-ons, the glasses look almost like Agent sunglasses. :-) Otherwise, it’s been an unproductive weekend (other than getting new protective screen covers for my cell phone from CompUSA).
Tonight doesn’t look to be much better, other than doing some movie watching. I had expected my movie this weekend to be The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, but I guess it wasn’t available on Netflix yet, as they sent me the next film in my queue instead: Ghost in the Shell 2 – Innocence. Not that I’m complaining, mind you… I’ve been wanting to see this movie for a while. It just kind of surprised me when I was informed I’d be receiving it next. Ah, well…
On the nostalgia front, there’s a game coming out next month for PC that I’m looking forward to: Defcon, which is a RTS game involving politics and global warfare. The reason this game interests me is because the graphics are very reminiscent of the movie WarGames; specifically, they look like the computer displays seen in NORAD during the movie. I actually had the Colecovision game WarGames back when it came out (back then, I had a Coleco ADAM), and played it regularly. Granted, it was a very simplistic game compared to strategy games of today, but I enjoyed playing it. It should be interesting to see how well this game plays when it comes out…
Ah, well… at this point I’m just going to sit here in the kitchen, enjoy some of the sunlight, listen to music on my laptop, and relax. Fun fun…
