Dear Santa

Can I pleeeeeeaaaaassssse get this for Christmas? Hahaha.

Factually Correct

I actually don't download much music anymore, but I always pay for music from artists I really like or have some sort of a connection to (Gym Class Heroes).

An assortment of thoughts

• Does anyone do work the day before Thanksgiving? I'm doing a little, but with no one around it's hard to get anything significant done...works for me.
• How do the Maple Leafs outshoot the Islanders 61-21 and lose 4-3 in OT. Terrible goaltending I guess.
• What's the best show on television right now? I think Dexter, it's been really good this season.
• Thanksgiving is pretty trill, but having the Giants game on NFL network is not. Though it might be on network TV in Canada....
• Best Thanksgiving food: probably stuffing or mashed potatoes. Turkey is overrated.
• Is it really worth standing in line at a store at 4AM for a TV, when you can probably find it online for the same price or very close to it? Nah.
• I'm looking forward to watching Transformers 2 on my flight today. It probably won't be a good movie, but a lot of it was shot in Philly and part of it at Drexel, so that will be trill.
• Is Jim (The Office) a good manager? Not really, but he might be on his way to getting better. I like that he put his foot down to Ryan. Clutch
• If I buy a blu-ray movie, what should I get? It has to be an action flick and something recent so the HD is really trill. I'm thinking Iron Man, it was a solid movie all around.
• If Cam'ron needs some money he should partner with Zip-loc to make his own line of bags: Dip-loc, "lock that food up...so it can't snitch"
• 1080P Youtube looks great, but it was really choppy on my work computer. Picture quality is still really good.

I think that's it. I'll try to provide some more updates over the break. Have a good holiday everyone!

Greatest Trip to Target, Ever.

On Saturday I ended up in a Target not planning to buy a single thing, I was there with my girlfriend who wanted to make a few purchases for her apartment. Anyway, I started walking around and stumbled across the automotive section where what caught my eye, but an extending ice scraper/snow brush! I think it was like $8 and it was something that I had been planning to get for a while but never got around to, score!

I think this might be the exact one...

After that I remembered that I had to get some ink for my printer, so I headed over to electronics. While browsing the wonderful selection of HP ink, I noticed that they had an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier for $40, the same price as the ink I was about to buy. Now I had been jonesing for one of these suckers for a long time, so I copped that real quick. I also got some photo paper and another color ink for only $10 thanks to an on the box coupon.

Boom baby!

After grabbing that, what did I stumble upon next? A set of inner ear headphones with a mic for $18, double score! I had also been looking for these for a long time since the ones that come with the iPhone suck, and most cost around $80. The sound quality isn't great for music, but it's fine for talking and that's all i want it for since the iPhones speakerphone is kinda whack. It's not worth finding a picture of these, I don't remember what brand they are.

And finally, the piece de resistance. I decided to purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I played COD:MW on my computer back in the day (2008) and it was a sick game. I bought World at War for PS3 but wasn't too impressed. However, I had heard great things about MW2 since it was back with Infinity Ward (game developers). I decided to buy it on the spot, and now after playing it for a few hours these past couple days, I'll give brief review.

Overall the game is sick. It's pulled me in a lot more than World at War ever did. Maybe it's because modern weapons are cooler, I'm not sure, but I've had tons of fun playing it. The game features some cool new features like a gun with a heartbeat sensor so you can see when enemies are approaching (not all guns have this). It also has really great cut scenes, which MW1 also had. Overall the game play is pretty good. I like that there is some slight auto aim if you get close enough to an enemy and then look down your sight, it helps when transitioning from the PC. I also think that it does pretty well at realism, at certain times I've felt like I have no idea what's going on and I'm just shooting everywhere as my jeep tears through a city which probably happens more often than we think. Not everything is perfect though, you die when getting runover by a snowmobile, however when you're driving the snowmobile and hit a tree it just slows you down, you don't even get knocked off. I might update as I play more, and I haven't played online yet, but I've heard it's pretty good.

One other thing, maybe I'm giving Infinity Ward too much credit, but one of the storylines is that Russia attacks the US on our own soil, so you end up fighting in Northern Virginia, and maybe other places. I just think it's really outside of the box thinking to not use the same old world hot spots (Middle East, Afghanistan, Kosovo) for all the missions to occur. It's weird trying to fight your way over to Burger Town and Nate's Diner to get ground to air missles.

So It's More Posts You Desire...Eh?

Here you go AK, a new post to soothe your soul. You'll inevitably complain that it was about hockey and that it contained a fight (pointless in your opinion), but a post is a post. Plus, you can't deny that the check was pretty sick.





On a side note, I am now the proud owner of the best RB group in the Ithaca fantasy football league (thanks AK). We'll see whether it pays off since I am probably now the proud owner of the worst WR group....

I think I'll be doing a post about fantasy football soon, just my thoughts on it and my experience as a commish.

Bill Belichick is an Asshole

Not news to most people, but I had to post it because I couldn't believe what I saw last night after the Pats-Colts game. As Belichick is sprinting out of the stadium one of his thugs throws one camera guy to the ground and pushes another out of the way. This isn't paparazzi in Hollywood, part of being a coach in the NFL is knowing that you will be put on camera whether you win or lose. The guy needs to grow up, he made a bad call and lost the game, deal with it. It doesn't give him the right to be tossing camera men around. I'm not sure whether that's a fineable offence for the NFL, but it should be. It's a lot worse than Ochocinco's dollar bill gag, or wearing the wrong color chin strap...

It's Hot Fiyah!

These new Sony commercials are excellent. Their TV commercials aren't just chock full of celebrities, they're full of celebrities that can act. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Peyton/Justin/Erin commercial where they're playing ping pong. Peyton has always been clutch in commercials (cut that meat, anyone..) but Justin brought that commercial to the next level. The PS3 commercials have also been really good. No one knows who that spokesman is, but he does those commercials really well.

On a side note, I thought I bought lentil soup at the store, and it turned out to be split pea soup...GROSS!





My career goal is to be a VP of Epic Footage.

****UPDATE****

Awesome new commercial:
