Quick catch up

So we enjoyed a little "staycation" over the lovely 3 day weekend. Borrowed Rock Band from the neighbors, watched a couple flicks, grilled some burgers, and had a thoroughly wonderful bbq over at the letter r's. I love me some bbq...

At any rate, Rock Band is quite fun. Especially when playing drums. The drums are definitely my favorite instrument in the game. Possibly because they're the most realistic, probably because they're just a heckuva lot of fun to bang around on. Kids and wife all had a good time getting into the band groove.

Still consuming books. Death Note is the latest graphic novel series. It's wonderfully warped. Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi is also terribly enjoyable. Still working through Only Revolutions and starting Soon I Will be Invincible. (Which if you like superhero type stories and humor I can already recommend. It's pretty good.)

Brick is a great little film noir piece. Raymond Chandler meets Humphrey Bogart as played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The upcoming Brothers Bloom is by the same director and looks promising as well.

Seems like I had some other random things to ramble on about but I am tired. You get nothing. Go follow Stephen Colbert on Twitter or something.

We love Rock Band too. We'll have to get a new PS2 so we can play while you're here at Christmas. Haven't done the Wii Fit lately due to too much other stuff going on and my new work hours but need to get back into that groove. Glad you liked the Band and that you had a chance to relax. Those days are memory makers and must haves in life.
