I'm feeling a little less scatter-brained than yesterday, so I think I can make a post without the aid of bullet points? Are you excited? No? Me neither. :-P
It's really weird to realize that it's already December this year has flown by so damn fast. It's brought a few big changes (not the least of which is buying a home) but in a lot of ways it feels like it's kinda rolling into a big ball with the others. Steady job, steady environment, no big changes to really mark the seasons or the passage of time. Guess this is what being an adult is.
Hockey last night was asstastic. For every bit as well as I played last week after getting home from MFF, I played that poorly last night. Something was up with my left skate all night long. I couldn't cut on it, I couldn't push off on it, half the time I felt like it was going to come out from under me while I was just standing there.
I was on D against a (surprisingly) good team, too, which made it especially bad. Several plays that I should have been able to break up or keep from happening just got away from me because of it, including their game winning goal.
To be fair, they skated all over us all game long. We were outshot 30-16. So it wasn't just me. But I feel I could have contributed more under more...favorable circumstances.
But it's a long season and there's a lot of games left to play. We won't be caught off-guard by that team again.
Been playing Borderlands a lot at home, though I think I'm about to give up on it. I think I've passed the point where I'm genuinely interested in the game and I'm playing more out of my completionist mentality at this point. It's not that it's a bad game by any means. It's just not for me. The pacing feels really wonky and it's not keeping my attention. Honestly, though, I think if it had an over-the-shoulder view available, that's all I'd need to keep me in it.
I'll probably move on to Demon's Souls or Brutal Legend next. Or maybe hit Tekken 6 for a while, just for a complete change of pace from Adventures and RPGs.
Lastly, I wanted to post another
one of the videos from
http://thru-you.com because I think they're amazing and can't stop listening to them. If you haven't gone to the site yet and listened to all 7, do yourself a favor and go there now. Each song is so much different than all the rest. Some funk, some reggae, R&B, DnB, soul...good stuff.
