Psych!

We (Callan and I) started watching Psych the TV show on USA and so far, this show is delivering plenty of laughs (in a good way).  The characters are funny and everything just seems to click.  We’re up to season 3 (almost done actually) and can’t wait to start season 4.  We may finally have a show that’s still running that we can look forward to watching

Violins + System of a Down = Awesome

Zombieland

Was fucking awesome!  I wasn’t really sure what to expect other than something really cheesy but I came out of the movie totally entertained.  So yeah, go see Zombieland, you won’t be disappointed.*

*Note: unless you hate swearing, blood, gore, Woody Harrelson, zombies, etc.

Will post pictures…eventually

I said I’d have pictures up “soon” but I’ve honestly been having so much fun with my PS3 Slim that I never get around to taking the pictures, etc.  I’ll try to work on that this weekend.  I beat Uncharted: Drakes Fortune last week.  Fun game, though the waves of enemies was frustrating at times.  Overall, 8.9/10.  Great game.  I’ve been playing Burnout Paradise too, just got my ‘Burnout’ license yesterday actually.  I believe I’m 1 trophy away from getting the Platinum trophy, unfortunately, I need the EyeToy or 360 Vision Camera to get the mugshot trophy…will have to wait to get that.  Fun game though.

I just traded in some games at GameStop last week.  I have $115.xx in store credit thanks to their 4/$20 trade-in deal.  Hoping they have a Buy 2, Get 1 free sale soon.  I’m eying inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and a 3rd game that I’m not sure about yet.  Perhaps Demon’s Souls, or Batman: Arkham Asylum, or Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2.  Who knows.  Looking forward to getting some new games though.

Here’s hoping I get a callback soon for a job I applied for.  Really getting tired of working at The Home Depot.  So many lazy employees, so many wasted or pointless markdowns, it’s insane the store turns a profit.  But whatevs

PS3 Slim in the house (err…apartment)!

Arrived yesterday actually. It’s just as I imagined it…but better. Full post to come soon, complete with pictures and stuff.

Welcome to the library of the future

I just read that a Boston prep school has gotten rid of all the books in their library and put all of that material onto 18 e-readers (something like a Kindle).  Now, I worked at my local library back in high school for two years and loved it.  I love books, collecting, reading, etc.  So it’s bittersweet to see this as a viable option for the future.  The space saved could make way for another classroom, conference hall, offices, etc.  And while I love that new book smell, for schools, I can see this taking off simply because eBooks are cheaper, take up practically no space, and aside from the e-reader breaking, the books will not deteriorate over time.

I’ll still buy a physical book over eBooks for some time to come, but I definitely would have used this back in college a few years back if the prices had been more reasonable.  I wasn’t going to pay $125 for an eBook when I could get the real thing for $130 and be able to resell it at the end of the semester.  That’s a problem that will need to be sorted out soon if companies are serious about eBooks in education.
