Bad choices in my life.

I will add to the list of bad choices in my life eating a giant burrito before my flight to Seattle. Sub-optimal planning there, champ.

Need a good resource for dirty limericks.

Does anybody have favorites?

Xbox gamercard.

I look at my Xbox live gamer card and it has:

Williams Pinball Hall of Fame
Pinball FX
Rock Band 1
Rock Band 2
Beatles Rock Band

Hmmmmm.

Ha!

Wow. I look back at that last entry after I've gotten some more sleep..

Good thing I'm not writing this with the idea that anybody is reading it!

Whew!

Sick day. Stiff fingers.

Recent thoughts, in no particular order. Perhaps this will help me remember what I wanted to elaborate on.

Pinball – dying/dead, but like bowling, should be kept around. Would love to get a few tables.

Video games – adulthood sadly brings time restrictions. Personal betterment sadly brings even more. Instead of quality gaming being the refuge, I can only play microburst games with a clear conscience. Luckily this includes pinball games.

Comics – Single issues are a sucker's game. Except for indie books. The industry has changed so that reprints are abundant in single issues – this eliminates the value that comics may have had previously in the short term. Only if the audience keeps growing do current books go up in value due to demand. In addition, all mainstream books are essentially headed straight towards the real money these days – trade paperbacks and hardcovers. Much more convenient, the nice collections can still go up in value. The real scarcity is in the small print run books – Casanova, Transformers, Battlestar Galactica. Scarce in the first place, short print runs in trades also – if at all! Not that I would recommend to anybody that they could make money in those, but if you happen to enjoy comics.. Buy the small print run single issues, wait on everything else until it's out in trade or hardcover form.

iPhone – Dear god, give me a bigger battery life. I may need to buy a supplemental battery or leave music playing to a dedicated device. I can successfully drain a battery 100% between taking it off the charger in the morning and getting home at night. I can guarantee I will run out of recharge cycles before my two years is up to get another one. Will have to think deeply on this.

TV – Digital distribution and full collections are insanity. There is so much quality content out there that is readily available now. I would feel like a normal, well adjusted person if I did what 'normal' people did and watched things as they air. But why? I have to sit through commercials, wait week to week, be held to their schedule. But I can drop a few bucks and have the entire first season of the Twilight Zone, or all of Spaced, or the IT Crowd. You lose that connection with people, though.. Meh.

Internet – THERE is the firehose. For info junkies, you just jack in and let the feed flow. Marvelous. Lovely. A little adrenal squirt every time you flip stories.. Ah….
