The ESRB is for what again?

Tonight I saw a story on digg.com that talked about how a judge declared that a law restricting the sale of violent video games to minors is unconstitutional.  Now, in the great state of California, I guess it's okay for minors to buy whatever games they want.  Having worked at a game retailer, I know that parents don't pay nearly enough attention to what their kids are playing.  Mature-rated titles are going to be sold to anyone.

E! News ftw!

So the other night I was watching one of America's last relevant news shows, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Since I don't have time to sit at home all day and watch C-SPAN, CNN, or Fox News, it's good to have a resource for a summary of the important events that I have missed. Tonight, there was discussion of the attire of our presidential hopefuls. Apparently, the news of the world or the events at Capitol Hill are less important than observing that our presidential candidates don't want to dress to sharp for fear of appearing gay.

A few notes

A while back, I talked about my grandmother who's (whose? damn grammar) health is failing. She's been incredibly strong-willed and is still putting up the good fight. On the other hand, her mental state is deteriorating. She's convinced that everyone is out to get her. For instance, she thinks that both my mom and step-dad are sneaking into her house and stealing stuff to sell so that they can make money for their non-existent drug addiction. She's called the police so often that they actually picked her up and took her in for a mental evaluation.

Ok, so now it really begins

A while back I titled a post "And so it begins," and then nothing happened.  The post was about losing weight, exercising and eating better.  Shock and amazement, I continued to eat out for every meal, did nothing to exercise, and sat on my ass.  Well done!  All things considered, it was a huge success.

A night at the movies

My usual evening consists of unwinding with an hour (or a few) of WoW, then turning on the television to search the several hundred channels that I subscribe to through cable for a movie to watch.  Ordinarily I settle on a mindless action flick or a comedy.  No matter what I pick, I end up staying up way too late, regretting my decision the instant my alarm fires up the next morning.  Tonight I chose a drama, one that I hadn't seen before.  United 93.
