Happy New Year

Happy New Year, boys and girls.

I know most of you are probably curious about the progress I've made in Ninja Gaiden. When last we spoke, I indicated that I would spend time trying to beat the boss at the end of level 2. Surprisingly, I pulled it off, and managed to get some sleep before work. It took me many tries to beat the boss at the end of level 1, but apparently I'm getting better.

I then started level 3, and finished it tonight. It probably took 12 times to defeat the boss. Aside from the bosses, the game just isn't very hard yet.

So that New Years thing is upon us once again. Whoopy doo. We celebrated by getting crappy meals at The Original Steakhouse, then watching the Aviator. We were home by 11:30 to watch the last hour of commercialization. I couldn't watch any channel for more than a couple minutes at a time. Whenever they cut to Ashlee Simpson, I had to look away. You know that was probably filmed weeks ago, and I don't really care about what she (or any other celebrity) has to say. Regis sounded like he was having a hard time from 11:59 to 12:00, trying to think of stuff to say.

Driving home from the theater, there was a sign on the highway "don't drink and drive". Do we really need a sign for that? Why not a sign that reads: "Don't hit people in the head with blunt objects" while we're at it? Furthermore, if someone is going to insist on having a sign, maybe it should be closer to where people park, and not on the highway. "If you can read this sign, you're already driving, so this is moot".

Let's see... what else happened today.... I can't think of much. Get up. Work. Crappy meal at the Original Steak House. Aviator. Sign on Highway. New Years. Ninja Gaiden. Blog update. Bed (assumed).
