Who gave her internet access?!?

So, my wife learned that God of War 3 is on the horizon….then she saw video for Heavy Rain...yeah, she has given me explicit instructions to get her a PS3 (Yes ma’am). Keeping in mind that we may only ever play 3-4 different games on it and possibly a blueray or two…..what am I looking for? Are there any 'XBOX-like' problems to keep an eye out for?

Also, if any of you reputable (LOL) ladies and Gents has a setup you are looking to part with, drop me a line I’ll give you more than Gamestop will…. Our GameStop has an online offer for a Refurbished 40gb systems for $230 so you know they are only giving $50-70 for trades  (and the last used system I bought from them still has the strong reek of pot and melting plastic).

Back on the mainland.

Yes I’m back, here’s a quick wrap up of the vacation.

1.       Left Baltimore Sunday
2.       2 days a sea….lots and lots of eating.
3.       Port Canaveral – some people from our boat were present for the Sea World Orca to have a mid morning snack.
4.       Nassau – Awesome, loads of cigars and rum
5.       Freeport, did some freediving, beach combing, and took tons of pictures…..and got loads of sunburn.
6.       Day at sea, met the Captain, and got a fun all access tour of the ship.
7.       Back to Baltimore.
Pictures taken; 2,448
Video taken; 2.2 hours
Weight gained; 24lb (no I’m not exaggerating)
% of my body sunburned; 15%
Alcohol drank; 22 beers, 8 bottles of wine……and a lot of hard booze I ordered while I was already drunk and can’t remember.
 
As soon as we walked into the house we had the Borderlands DLC downloading and dove straight into it….love it, awesome, already at level 56….but there’s a problem.
I picked up a Wii game….the first Wii game I’ve bought in a very long time…. And I’m hooked, I even turned down a chance for some easy achievements to keep playing this game…..yup, I’m playing Rune Factory; Frontiers.  Darn you, goofy addictive Japanese RPG/dungeon crawler/farming simulator…..
 
Then I get to work, KABLAMMO!! it appears as though I am a little too good at my job, and apparently it's reducing the morale of my coworkers to watch me work.....so due to a new do nothing policy change I get to re-work everything I've done since Jan 1 so the Date and Department name are in the same place on the one form......I feel like I was just kicked in the balls.

late B-day and a leave of absence

       That time again, updating my age…yuck. At 28, both my knees are failing, arthritis in my hip hands and elbow, both shoulders are bad and my back just as bad….and now my eyesight is going….   Granted the actual b-day was 9 days ago, but I was far too busy with Bioshock 2 to even remember.
                So now what? I sit back revaluate my life, realize that I’ve failed to meet every goal I set for myself, find myself in a worse position than I was a year ago….   I know my father would say it’s all because 21 years ago, he bought me an NES…. I say its because I work in an environment where different is bad and I’m one small annoyance away from releasing my true inner Punk, tattooing myself from the neck down, piercing everything I can (aside from some ‘strategic’ locations) and dying what is left of my hair jet black.   Yes, living this poser identity of the professional is tearing me apart inside. And I guess it’s starting to show.  

Yeah, I had a similar post almost a year ago….I was hoping to say “oh, but something got better” but the only good thing I have to say is that my lovely wife has yet to realize that she married a looser and still appears to be happy and in love with me (when I'm not being a total ass).  
 
VACATION!!!!
On another note, I will be away for a while…I have a bit of prep work starting tomorrow, then Sunday, we leave on a 7 day cruise....I hope to bring back many pics and vids, but will have to upload everything when we get back since we are doing the whole trip sans internet….this will be hard, but I think I can do it….and if I must, the ship has computer access in the library. So, from Baltimore to frozen tundra of Port Canaveral, then off to Nassau and Freeport.

A crap storm with a silver lining.

                    At around 10pm last night, the snow removal guys finally got around to our driveway and the 20" of snow that was piled on it.…I always love seeing someone else have to stand out in the cold and do back breaking work because I pay them to….yeah, I’m sick like that…..that is until this morning when the garage door made a significant amount of noise going up…..then didn’t come down….yup, they crashed into it, bent it so bad that the door itself was tripping the sensor, almost pushed it off the track….perfect, 20 min later the do is at least closing….so now I get to call the Homeowners association  and have them attack the snow removal vendor’s insurance company like a pack of wild dogs….I can hardly restrain myself from shouting, “GO FORTH MY MINIONS, AND RAISE CHAOS IN YOUR WAKE!!!”….I guess I do have a bit of a god complex, but the joy of releasing the lawyers does help make up for the hassle caused by the damages.

and I still can't express in words how AWESOME Bioshock 2 is....
