Stuff I'm doing...
posted by GJ on March 2, 2009 @ 3:52PM
Only to post something other than political antagonist posts, here's what yours truly is reading / watching / playing these days. Feel free to post your own items too! Reading: - Sloane Crosley's I Was Told There'd Be Cake: hilarious collection of autobiographical essays.
- Stephen King's Duma Key: just finished it...plodding start, but still an decent ghost story.
- Scott Smith's A Simple Plan: just started it, and oh yes, there will be blood!
- Phil Plait's Death From The Skies!: Literally, "these are the ways the world will end." Way better than Nostradamus, IMO. Fun to read, too! Plait is known as the Bad Astronomer--check out his blog. You can also catch him on the cable specials having to do with astronomy stuff, although not as much as Neil deGrasse Tyson, who also has a book out similar to Phil's, called Death By Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries. I'll probably read that one next.
Watching: - SciFi's Battlestar Galactica: only a few episodes left! Whatever will SciFi do once it's gone?? Oh, I know! Bring back Eureka!!!
- NHL: hey, the trade deadline is approaching. The Oilers still suck, but the Leafs suck worse. Ha! Ha!
- Top Gear: growing bored with this show, unfortunately. They need to play conkers again.
Playing: - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This game is simply a lot of fun. No kids allowed, though. PC
- Bully: must be Rockstar Games month. Not quite as much fun as GTA, but still amusing. Wii
- Rockband 2: I can't sing, can't play drums, and can't do much beyond medium on guitar and bass. Still fun. Wii
- Sins of a Solar Empire: kind of a mashup of Master of Orion and any RTS game you've ever played. Very entertaining, but I'm not convinced it scales well to large galaxies due to its RTS nature. PC
