"So Far This Semester He's Been Absent Nine Times. Nine Times? Nine Times."
Sunday, November 15, 2009 @ 8:18 PM
Hello there everyone!
So to catch everyone up for those of you following along at home, the source of the reference titling last week's blog was the epicly awesome BioShock. Haven't played it? You're missing out. The key phrase in that reference of course was the "would you kindly" which plays a rather key role in the game. A nice little surprising twist that you'd never notice unless you knew to listen for it. So to continue in this little tradition, I present you with a new reference. Not from a video game this time. A movie. If you don't know that quote within a second or two, you missed a valuable portion of your childhood. I'll reveal the answer next week if you haven't figured it out by then . . .
So let's see, what else might there be to report for the week. Well if you'll recall last week I was complaining of writer's block. Not to say that it has left me completely but I did at the very least complete a rough draft of our current song. We'll have to see if it all works out the way I have intended it to. It rarely ever does after a first draft but we always find a way to bring it all together. Sadly, I can't share any lyrics with you yet. Not only is the song not finished but, well, I don't like to share so sadly you'll just have to wait till it ever gets released. And if it doesn't than you shall probably never hear it or read the lyrics. Which is just the sad truth of it all. I wonder which song shall be up next for the lyric writing express train. Hopefully one that calls for my more surreal lyrically stylings as opposed to the more straight forward style presented in our faux country song. But I did still manage to throw a wee bit of imagery into the mix anyway. Oh well.
What else has been going on in the world? I honestly can't think of much at the moment. I'm rockin' some awesome fro yo from Penguin Frozen Yogurt in Santee. Haven't been? You're way missing out. I always gotta recommend that place. Its great. You should check it out.
Batman & Robin #6 came out and it was indeed quite amazing. A more action driven issue that usual but our good friend Philip Tan handled that art wonderfully. I've been a fan of his ever since I first saw his art in Final Crisis Revelations last year and his three issue run with Grant has been great. We get a new artist for the next three issues and I'm a bit iffy about them but we'll see if they can rise to the challenge. I do know though that Grant is very hands on with artists and does a lot of the layout work with them and it will most likely have the same inker and colorist so hopefully it will still retain the similar flavor that's been present through all the issues as of yet. Sadly, we're gonna have to wait till January to find out where the story is going though. Apparently the stuff that goes down in #7 is so important to the overall storyline present in the DCU and specifically relating to Blackest Night that we have to wait for Batman & Robin. Hopefully that means its gonna be beyond epic.
Hmm, what else to discuss. One of these blogs sometime I'll have a nice long rant about all the high end music equipment I would love to get my hands on someday. There's a few more big game releases in the coming week like New Super Mario Bros Wii tomorrow. But I don't have a Wii so I don't get to celebrate with the rest of the world. Assassin's Creed 2, Left for Dead 2, God of War Collection. I'm sure none of you care about my rant for Left for Dead 2. Not only did I not care for the first game but seeing that as far as I can tell very little has changed do we really need another one of them already? Couldn't Valve focus their attention on making Half Life 2: Episode 3 instead? I mean yeah, I know they're designed by two different sections of the company but still. Oh Half Life . . . Maybe I need to get a Wii finally. I mean, I'm not at all into the whole motion control thing but it does have a handful of worthwhile games. I shall though continue my Call of Duty embargo for the time being. I did seriously lose count of how many I sold on Tuesday and Wednesday though so I guess a lot of people are pretty happy about it.
So, you. You read this blogs right? Why? What do you like to read about? Cause well, as you can tell, I talk about very random things. Things that most likely only interest a handful of you. Seeing as you're the ones reading this though, I feel I should attempt to adapt myself to what you'd like to hear about. Do you know about the official Pensive blog on Pensive.net? Well there you can read years of blog postings with tons of hold school Pensive stories. I think I'm gonna call it blog now. I feel so disjointed. I wonder if it shows. Hmm. Anyway, see ya next week!
