The Weekly Letdown
In reflection our hindsight is often 20/20 and I would be a liar to make the claim that I do not revel in analyzing the past. It is in this spirit that I become even more thankful for such great friends who accompany me on my journey of over-examining the minutiae.
I'm not sure why I watch CSI every Thursday night, perhaps my first few positive experiences with the show created a sort of subconscious tractor beam that lures me in, promising to fulfill my nightly quest for entertainment. The show is very well made but I'm not sure the act of watching it is entirely pleasurable; the end is always marked with a familiar nausea due to the fact that nobody wins. The individuals close to the victim are in mourning and the investigators lack the glee one expects after such a victory. It is almost if each crime wears them down a little more and I get the second hand residue of their frustrated grief. Maybe next week I'll purpose to watch some cartoons. If it wasn't for this than my evening could have turned out to be a total loss.
Riddick isn't getting any better; I've lost nearly all interest in the title. Instead I returned to RE4, I am happy embarrassed to announce that I have nearly completed my second jaunt through the game; I am determined to get the infinite launcher and every piece of treasure hidden throughout. Even after these quests are completed there are plenty of other things to accomplish and at this point I cannot envision my interest waning in the least. If you own the Cube and don't have it than you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Halo 2 has also been in heavy rotation.
And musically it has been Leggo Beast all day...man he rules...
