What I Do When I Don’t Blog

July 6th, 2008

Mostly what I talk about on this blog is Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros., and occasionally things like television, food, and society’s downward spiral. But my entire life is not overrun with Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros., television, food, and watching society spiral downward. (Although I do spend an unhealthy amount of time playing Mario Kart Wii.)
But I thought I’d compile a list of the things I do with my non-video game time:
– Watching “Arrested Development”. It has recently replaced “The Simpsons” as my favorite show.
– Watching “The Simpsons.” Although it now plays second fiddle to “Arrested Development”, I still watch it all the time.
– Reading. This is what I do most of the time. Recently, I’ve read The Year of Living Biblically, Double Wonderful, and Clapton: The Autobiography.
– Miscellaneous iPod Touch wandering. I’m bored a lot so I tend to randomly stare at the same things on my iPod. I’ve watched my image slideshow about a hundred time (it consists of five images. Five!).
– Newsweek.com – I visit Newsweek.com on my iPod on a daily basis, and read something that interests me on a weekly basis. If I’m really bored I’ll read anything on there.

Reflections on Christmas

December 30th, 2007

Another Christmas has come and gone. Wanna hear what I got? No? Then stop reading.

So far, the second season of Saturday Night is the things I’ve got the most use out of. Hilarious. I’m without Wii right now, and there’s nothing on TV so that’s been my main source of entertainment. By the way, I’m correct in calling it Saturday Night, because it wasn’t referred to as “Live” until a little later on.
Wii Points Card… I’m getting Super Mario Bros. 3, naturally. But I can’t decide if I should get Yoshi Story or Super Mario 64… quite the predicament. I’m saving the other 500 points until they bring out Tetris.
The Simpsons Movie DVD – Widescreen – just the way I like it… but it gets better: it came with a collectible T-Shirt.
I don’t know if you’ve ever read the David Feldman books, but they’re these books that answer questions that people send in. So far, I know why washing windows with newspapers is good, why the call him Donkey Kong when he’s an ape, and whether or not elephants jump.

I got a lot of great gifts this year!
