What A Month!

I haven't had much to look forward to this past summer - Meijer, WoW, and job hunting was about it for me. But now come October, I have a ton of things to look forward to. Let me start from the beginning.

First week: Obviously, I'll be going into October with my new job, which is both scary and fantastic at the same time. I start September 29th, and my first week at CRI ends with my birthday. Simply awesome. I can't wait to get started. Also, my favorite movie of the year, "Iron Man," comes out on DVD this week, but I will have to wait to see it until...

October 4th: My birthday weekend should be something fun, if not relieving. Any stress that I accumulate at CRI in my first week will be set aside this day for a small gathering of family and hopefully friends, although nothing particularly fancy. I intend to take the day off to relax and enjoy our chilly fall weather.

October 17th: I'm a huge fan of the Max Payne games on PC, and the movie adaptation looks to be incredibly faithful to the games in both story, style, and atmosphere. No other game franchise could make the leap to film as easily as Max Payne could. I'll be first in line on this Friday night.

October 26th: October ends with a bang. Literally. Guitar Hero: World Tour (aka, Guitar Hero 4) comes out, and despite being a $200 package, I'm diving right in, namely for one reason: drums. I have, more than any other rhythm-based game, wanted to bang away on drums like nothing else, and I am pouring a good chunk of my time and money into getting set up with Guitar Hero: WT by the end of the month. I've always been a big fan of the Guitar Hero games, and I was terribly jealous of the Rock Band series when it launched last year - all because of that drumming part. Now it looks as if though Guitar Hero will have a superior percussion setup, and not to mention the deal breaker for me: "Hotel California" by the Eagles will be featured in the game. Bloody good bliss!

B3 out.

I am
