Movie Night (9)

     I love almost all kinds of Movies and television in general. Ever since I could remember, my dad's taken me to see films as well as show me some of yester year. As well, I spent alot of school and summer afternoons watching all sorts of tv shows. Though I was born in 1992, right after the Cold War ended, I really like Cold War action and drama films as I feel they both embody the era, they were made in and show the hopes as well as the fears of the times. I also love watching Japanese anime especially ones giant robots because I love the fantasy of Science and what can be. So whenever I get the chance, I pop in one of my favorites and watch it at night laying on the couch with a blanket on, that is an awesome way to watch a film. 

A Long Day's End (8)

     Another long day at the Commons, another day's pay I have earned. I really did not expect to working today as I had an on-call from 12-5 and lately they haven't been taking on-call for work, but we were busy today and as many of my coworkers had called out due to today being the day after St. Patrick's day, my services were desired. After having worked from 11-8 on Saturday, I was still tired despite a full night's sleep and as my car was low on gas and the best gas prices are in Middletown, I had to drive my mom's CR-V to work, which is a bit more challenging due to it's elevation over my Toyota Camry, and find parking on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at one of the biggest tourist attractions in the State. After work, I spent an hour hanging out, waiting for traffic to lighten up, it didn't, so another 30 minutes in traffic before I got home and could just get comfortable and eat. Long day, but a good meal relieves all woes.

My entire week in a nut shell (7)

 So I purchased Mass Effect 3, this Tuesday as that was when it came out and I've pretty much dedicated every available moment I've had to it as I'm a big fan of the series. So every day and night, I've been playing it downstairs in order to finish it and see the epic ending to the trilogy. Just finished it entirely tonight, in only about 35 hours, yeah it's a very large and long game, well spending 80 bucks on the Collector's Edition and preordering it in October, it better be worth every penny and it was. I really do love video games and Mass effect is one of my favorites, not just for the beautiful graphics, brilliant story telling and the excellent writing, but because it's a series that allows you to design your character, your backstory and choose your actions and see how they effect you later as the data from the first two games is transferred to the third. I guess what I love most is that the story is my story, I choose my actions and they affect my experience.

A Fair Day's Labor (6)

     Thank G-D for Vitamin water, seriously after a long day of working at the Commons, a refreshing drink is G-D spend. Maybe 5 to 9 isn't an extremely long shift, but the boredom can be just as brutal as the long hours. Having a citrus drink definitely helps counter my cold, though I could have taken the day off. But I couldn't do it, maybe because of my dedication to my job, which allows me to have the money necessary to maintain my car, maybe because I see alot of my friends, who I share a camaraderie as co-workers or maybe because I went to the city and bought a bunch of Japanese giant robot models and action figures and I need to have the cash to pay for those. Curse you Bandai and Square-Enix for your irresistible incredibly detailed products. At the end of day, I will chose work over staying home because I need the money to sustain my lifestyle because nothing worth buying in life is ever cheat.
