But not in a good way. I'm back to writing in this blog after almost a year away. Angela and I started a blog together to keep everyone informed about our life together and what we are doing, but it has sparked my desire to ramble on about the nerdy/geeky things that my mind turns to when there is nothing good on tv or I am at work and space out. I know my wife would rather I didn't think about these things let alone blog about them on our shared site, so I'm back here geeking out a bit.
So my first subject has to be my excitement about
Cloverfield. The movie started today and I hope to go tomorrow if Angela doesn't get called in to work. I am excited to see what is causing such a ruckus in the big city (as seen in the previews). My sister-in-law's boyfriend told me that the monster is Voltron or something, but that makes no sense to me, so I think he must be wrong. But if he isn't I really don't know what to think. I want to make sure I see it before someone really spoils it for me though.
There haven't been a lot of movies I've been excited about seeing lately, so it's fun to be excited about something new. I was surprised that Angela agreed to go with me. She went with me (and others from my family and hers) to see "
I Am Legend" and had her head buried in my shoulder for half the movie, threatening to leave every couple minutes. So I thought she might never go to a scary movie with me again.
My posts will probably get shorter as I go, but another thing I did want to talk about was the following: Both my Tivo and my XBOX 360 died this last week. The Tivo was first, and was a hard hit for me. I tried my best to revive it, but after over 4 years and thousands upon thousands of recorded television shows, it has been declared deceased. I got the dreaded red rings of death on my XBOX 360 just a couple days later. The lame part is that I just got some great new games over Christmas, but the positive part is that I can send it in to get fixed for free (although it takes about a month or more) and I also got a PSP for my birthday in December so I will have some good time to get acquainted with it.
The last thing I wanted to do was talk about the most interesting tech thing I learned this week:
Soon we will all have bionic sight! Based on some work being done at my Alma Mater, they are finally getting contacts to work the way I always thought they should. But my question is why they are doing the research on rabbits (aren't they supposed to have great sight with the carrots and everything)?
