My excuse-
I've been busy with finishing up my first graduate marketing class, yelling at people, doctors, watching movies and playing through the xbox Captain America game. I just need one more paper for my class, due tomorrow night and then I'll have some free time to work on writing. I still have my rough idea but not much else, so I'm just going to start writing and see what comes out.
Movies I saw-
We saw the last Harry Potter movie after a long Harry Potter marathon the night before. While I've seen every movie, Scarlett hadn't seen any so she had to catch up. Watched the movie in 3d at Cinemark in Redding. The movie itself was fantastic, but I didn't care for the theatre itself. We had to sit through 15+ minutes of ABC comercials, then another 10+ minutes of movie previews before the movie finally started, the seats went too far back and there were some douches making farting noises during the movie. However the douches did end up coughing up $20 after Scarlett complained to them, so essentially we saw the movie for free. Still I highly recommend the movie (all of them) and I've added the first three books to my pile of books to read.
As a Captain America fan (he's right up there with Deadpool) I was extremely excited about the movie and the xbox game. Scarlett liked the movie and everyone else at the theatre seemed to enjoy it, but I was highly irritated with the changes they made to Cap's early adventures. I think if your a big Cap fan you have to go in with really low expectations, and just be glad to see the character on the big screen even if the story isn't adequate for such a great character. For non fans though the movie seems to be a great action movie that is going over very well. Perhaps this movie will bring some more people into the comic game and give marvel a good boost. The Cap game on the other hand is fantastic. The acrobatics, exploration and combat rival Batman Arkham Asylum. I highly recommend the game and Captain America comics.
Speaking of the Cap and comics-
The Captain America series is being relaunched after a series of events that forces Steve Rogers to once again assume the shield. Great jumping in point for new fans. If you don't have a local comic shop you can go to mycomicshop.com to order comics, set up subscriptions and big on comic related auctions.
Health update-
If the pain doctor isn't able to do something soon, I may have to move up to stronger pain medication. The current medication just isn't doing the job and I'm already at a borderline dangerous level in terms of my liver's ability to handle things. I saw another doctor for my dizziness and she did some computer tests that revealed that I do have an inner ear problem that is creating problems when I turn my head too quickly. I've been given some exercises to do to rebuild my ability to function normally.
Poodle Watch-
This morning we were able to feel the baby(s) kicking, should only be about another week until birth. Joelle (poodle) seems rather unhappy and sort of waddles about. Hoping for two pups so we don't have to put her through another pregnancy.
Star Wars the Old Republic pre-orders-
Went ahead and ordered the $150 collector's edition. Also joined a sith guild called Wraith of the Sith'ari. Maybe some Star Wars fan fiction to come? Possibly.
