So, I finally played some Show last night and stayed up entirely too late. Loving the game, just as I figured I would, seeing quite a few new animations in the 4 games I played. The only thing that bugs me, is the dive button, it's a bit too sensative. I gotta see if I can remap it somewhere else.

The "plan" this weekend is to get my taxes into the mailbox and get that process started. It's such a pain for me and I never look forward to doing it, since I always wait until the last minute.

What's up with you?

That Mentos spoof was funny, but this one is still my favorite.

I'm heading down to Clearwater, FL this weekend for Phillies spring training. It's my first time going so I'm extremely excited.

My favorite Mentos spoof is still the Foo Fighters' "Big Me" video.

Sold my Xbox yesterday for $60 via Craigslist. I'm pretty happy, considering it was much more than I would've gotten from a game store and a whole lot less hassle than eBay. Going to finally buy College Hoops 2k8 tonight with some of that money, mainly because it's down to $40 and I'm going to wait for the patch to get MLB 2k8.

QOTD: Big winter storm coming this afternoon, so I may duck out of work a little early to beat rush hour. Hopefully tonight playing a lot of CH 2k8. Playing in a 3-on-3 tournament tomorrow morning with my cousin and his friend. I have no idea what to expect. I think we'll hold our own, but we'll see. Going to our friend's "international food party" on Satuday night. No real plans for Sunday.

I'm doing the same Boom. Leaving early to avoid the storm. Supposed to get 1-2 feet of snow!!! WHOA!

I doubt I leave the house this weekend, just lots of The Show and Army of Two with some Frontlines sprinkled in.

QOTD:
Hopefully get my 360 sent out for repair. I have some general "pre-Spring/Summer"
yard and house work to do. Once I'm done that it The Show time!

Busy weekend. Tonight I'm going to watch my nephew get his orange belt (he's 6 and just started Tai Kwan Do). Saturday I'm heading to a travel agent in the morning to discuss honeymoon plans with my fiance. Then I'm going to my nephew's ice skating birthday party with his friends. Sunday we're going to my sister's house for my nephew's family birthday party.

All of this with a big snow storm coming. It's going to be an interesting weekend driving around. Hopefully when I'm home I can get some time in with The Show.

College basketball most of the weekend, gotta do that research for Vegas. Saturday is my buddies kids 2nd birthday party so I bought him some toys. It's from 4-7 so home/bar in time for Duke North Carolina (more research).

No plans for tonight though, probably grab a beer from the cute chick at the bar when I get out of work today. I did such a good job of slicing way to many veggies yesterday that I didn't have to do anything but bake bread this morning. I'm way to good at my job.

QOTD: Not much plans for me this weekend. Just plan on catching up on some TV shows from the week and playing more of The Show and Burnout.

Re: Friday Morning Other Stuff (3-7-08)

QOTD: I'm hoping to get back into my CH2K8 legacy. As nerdy as that sounds I just want to relax a little instead of doing stuff all weekend.

Oh and at 9pm Saturday night I'm going to go nuts watching the game!

Re: Friday Morning Other Stuff (3-7-08)

QOTD: Indoor soccer tonight, and then the rest of the weekend I think I'll be hanging out with my friend who leaves for Mexico on Monday (he has a 3 month trial with Chivas Guadalajara).

(he has a 3 month trial with Chivas Guadalajara).

Is that a Mexican restaurant or something?

QOTD: What are you up to this weekend?

House sitting at the in-laws and they just got a 52inch bravia, so I will finally get a chance to play the show in HD. Kind of scared cause I will have to go back to my SDTV. Also will be at my bro's house Saturday for some beer and a little Show tournament.
