Counting down

It's been a somewhat boring week for me. Well, not entirely without it's high points, that's for sure. My brother, Kevin, came down this past weekend with his girlfriend, Leighann, not to mention Matt and Fawn to celebrate a couple of birthdays (Matt and Kevin - who've been friends for years - have birthdays only 6 days apart). So, from Friday night until late Sunday afternoon, we spent most of the weekend playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. All I can say is that instead of following the storyline of the game, we ended up just fucking off with the character - killing cops, jacking cars, using plenty of cheat codes (not that I cheat with my gaming, but once in a while, it's fun). I don't think I've laughed so hard since my post back in December.

On other topics, I've spent many hours on the phone with my talker friend, Erik, discussing the upcoming Star Wars flick this Spring. I know the first two episodes were not on the same scale as the original three, but this one seems a lot more, well, evil. We all know that Anakin grows up to be the badass Darth Vader, and I'm sure a lot of you have been on the "how he actually became him" kick. Hell, I remember back as a teenager talking about the "falling into a volcano" theory, and that was frigging twenty years ago! But to actually *see* it come to fruition all these years later has my gut all tensed up in anticipation. All I can say is if you get the chance to see the teasers or trailers, do so! You'll see what I mean.

So all I can do now is wait. A little more than two months to go and then the story will be complete. C'mon, May 19th!
