Well, Dragon*Con has come and gone. I always get a little depressed at the end of a good con, but I should snap out of it soon, maybe I'll buy a game tonight to cheer me up (more on that below). My pick for con guy of the year goes to Marc Singer (of Beastmaster fame). Sure, he's not a huge star, but the guy is just super nice and seems like he's happy to be at the con meeting people. He's good people.

Every year, I tell myself that I'm going to make it into the Filking room, every year, I never make it. I watched a lot of the robot battles. Something occurred to me while sitting there, are these really robots, or are they merely armored RC cars? Thinking that is fine, however, don't say this to an engineer type. An attempt was made to correct me, but I still don't see it. I'm not taking anything away from the robot battles, hell, if I had the engineering skill and could fab stuff, I'd be all over it, but to me, while these are machines, I don't think they're robots.

Started playing Rise of the Argonauts on the 360 last night. I've heard that it's a decent game, hampered by many technical problems. Seems to be an apt description thus far. I actually fell asleep playing it last night, but I'm not holding that against the game just yet.

There's some new release games up in this mf'in' plane! I have interest in all of the following:

PS Move - I think Amazon's doing the release date delivery. I've ordered the stuff, but not a game - any thoughts?  ***EDIT - my bad, I misread the delivery date on the Move stuff, I'm safe for 10 more days***

Ruse - Think I'll go for it on 360, despite every fiber of my being saying PC.

Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions - I still haven't played the last one, web or something or other, but I'm fairly psyched for this one.

Mass Effect 2 - Shadow Broker DLC - yes please!

Dragon Age Origins : Witch Hunt DLC - yes please!

Stupid Jason would buy all this stuff today, and invariably, by the time the shrink wrap comes off of Spidey, it will be on sale for $20 somewhere. So, I think I'm going to go with the DLC today, and wait for a $40 price point on Ruse and a $30 price point on Spidey. If I have an especially shitty day, I'll pick up Ruse. A truly shitty day, and I'll get Ruse and a Move game. A "throw myself through a stained glass window" day, and I'll just be Stupid Jason.

Happiness is not about life-business balance, it's about Life-Business Synergy.Successful people win because they love what they do. It's an ugg classic cardy tall article by Tom Reese in yesterday's Pacific Northwest Magazine about the Lake Washington wetlands near Seattle's Arboretum. I actually found myself ugg boots classic cardy gray strangely upset by the article. Not only because he's describing a place I've loved for ugg boots years, but because he so carefully describes the official ugg boots contingency of the natural environment there.Reese takes the bailey ugg boots uk pied-billed grebe as his touchstone, which is a good choice. If you know where to look, you can find the grebe's nest classic argyle uggs resting on the lily pads. It's exposed. It trusts to camoflauge to avoid disturbance. And the argyle ugg boots uk grebes there always make me worry because they're so small and tentative, with ugg boots shop so little to defend themselves. They're the perfect metaphor for our mini ugg boots stewardship of the natural refuges in our cities.Plus, the seventeen photos that mini ugg boots on sale accompany the article online are also astonishingly good. Much better than ordinary uggs ultra boots on sale newspaper shots. But you should go see for yourself.In this article, the good Vietnamese monk tells the story of counseling a young Buddhist woman who had fallen in love with a Catholic man, and was distraught because his family was insisting that she become a Catholic in ultra tall uggs order to marry him. After speaking with her, Thich Nhat Hanh basically gave his ugg classic tall purple blessing for her to enter the church, suggesting that if she continued ugg tall red to do mindfulness work, she could be a Buddhist on the ugg boots cheap inside, even while practicing Catholicism. She thought it over, and her reply is worth considering, as she short black uggs weighs the merits of the two faiths: “[Buddhism is] a tradition that is so embracing, so discount ugg boots classic short tolerant, so open, if I abandon it and turn my back to it, I am not a person of value. [By contrast, Catholicism is] a tradition sundance uggs on sale that is so strict, that has no tolerance, that is not able to understand, how could I formally identify myself sundance uggs sand with it?” http://www.uggcardyuk.co.uk/UGG-Bailey-Button-Boots-5803.html XYZ
