i know i should be saying, ‘not much to talk about because all i’ve been doing is playing halo’, but that’s not the case, actually. i mean, aside from working a lot and sifting through all the fall tv shows trying to weed out the ones not worth following (reaper was the first to go… sorry kevin smith but i think it’s aimed more at 13 year olds than me), i’ve got a whole new time suck. i picked up a game called skate.

it works a lot like i imagine skateboarding does in real life; when you get it in your head that you have to nail a certain trick in a certain place, you can easily spend hours just trying that one thing over, and over, and over. and over again. until you finally get it. one example you can even see on the internet, since they also incorporate a feature where once you do finally nail something, you can save and even upload it for public viewing.

anyway, since i never got to be much of a skateboarder in real life, this game is intensely satisfying to me. and every night after jessica has gone to bed this week, i have been perfecting my flip trick to grind to manual combos with much thumb flickery. it’s pretty much awesome.

now, we weekend.
