No wedding updates for you!
My brain has been foggy as all hell lately, so I apologize for the lack of updates. Here's a media I've consumed update:
I had a serious F____ you for being done! moment this morning after I'd finished Shannon Burke's Black Flies. Even though it had a couple of typos. And you should know that it takes a lot for me to like a book with editing problems.
Gang Leader for a Day was a great read. I'm going to go ahead and say that you're an idiot if you're reading the book for statistics or an objective view of life in the projects. This is basically a memoir. It's more like reading Garfinkle than Pareto. Fair warning: you may or may not want to stab someone when you think about all the stupid things Venkatesh does (intentionally leaving his research in his subject's home? really?).
World War Z was a little contrived. It had a stark realness to it, sure, but so much predictability in the worst way possible. I mean, we're talking about plot twists M Night Shyamalan would write. "The dispatcher that saved her life was actually her imagination!" "That guy in the mental hospital that's being interviewed about a guy actually is the guy!"
I've been listening to Maritime's We, the Vehicles a lot. The songs you should listen to first are "Parade of Punk Rock T-Shirts!" and "Tearing Up the Oxygen."
Rogue Wave's Descended Like Vultures is not as good as I thought it would be. I probably need to give it more of a chance though. Download "Love's Lost Guarantee" and you will be satisfied.
I got an Xbox 360 recently, so here are some mini(er) reviews:
Fable II: The main plot line ends in a really anticlimactic way. You can never be skinny if you want to have a good amount of health (my female hero did not have a neck despite existing solely on celery). I'm in the process of playing it through again without rushing.
Castle Crashers: ...is cute and fun!
Left 4 Dead: I am so bad at this game, but it's so much fun! I'm hoping I'll be a bit better once I get new glasses and maybe adjust the brightness a bit. I am sad that melee is not an effective way to kill zombies. I was expecting it to be like Halo where you can one-shot someone with a whack to the back of the head.
Rock Band 2: The adjustment from playing real drums to playing plastic drums is difficult. My hands are slow and stupid when it comes to regular guitar; the plastic guitar is no different. Maybe I should be playing lefty.
