I'm still playing Eternal Sonata. It's pretty good so far. I don't have a final judement on the game yet, but I would recommend it to RPG fans from what I've seen. Knocked Up and a documentary called Murderball are the two movies I discuss. Both are great. There's also a coincidence involving my choosing of these two particular films in one evening. I laughed when I discovered what that coincidence was (apparently, I'm psychic).

If you have any suggestions as to what I should see, let me know. Enjoy.

From time to time, most of us have written a school paper or been forced to engage in work that is research related. Sometimes that research is, well, kinda fun. My new job has such an aspect. I talk a little about some movies I'm watching for work and a game I'm playing.

BTW, I talk about Eternal Sonata. I was correct when I said that I remember that the game got a good score from GS (8.5) and that KVO reviewed it. I was uncertain in the video.

I should be posting some more blogs in the next few weeks about movies I'm watching or games I'm playing. I'll let you all know then.

It's good to get these things for free.

P.S. Yeah, the legality in question of watching a movie early was a silly comment, but you know what I mean.

That's pretty much what was told to me when I picked up the phone.

I'd been lying in bed, still not up for the day. I heard the phone ringing, and you know how that goes. I didn't want to roll over to answer it, but I did.

I got one of the most initially startling calls I've ever had. On the other end spoke the general manager of the store to which I'd recently applied for the manager-in-training position.

I'd waited about a week to hear something. Worried, I'd sent another email to the district manager just the day before expressing my continued interest in the position. At that point, I'd become a little sceptical as to whether I'd been chosen for the job...in fact, I thought another was luckier (or more qualified) than I.

The general manager seemed a little hesitant at first. She said, "Nathan, the district manager wanted me to call you and ask what is this on your police record about a murder 1 investigation."

After a few brief seconds of experiencing a mixture of waking up and being totally confused by what I'd just heard, I responded, "A what?"

She waited a second and then said, "Just kidding. The district manager told me to mess with you. You start on Monday."

I got the job.

Here it is: Number 2. Got the potential job offer, better frames per second, and...brown stuff.

...tofurkey? If you do not know what tofurkey is, then you do not have to worry about answering that. I prefer ham. Some love turkey. I am not a huge fan of it. Ham is more along my lines.

How about your traditions? If you celebrate with a Christmas dinner, what do you eat? Mmm...ham. Maybe you are one of those crazy hip families that eats turducken!!!

Chalk up another ridiculous example as to why my dad is a nut.

My stepmom called me and told me that Dad got angry at his neighbors for telling him to get off of their property. He and they have been feuding for a few years now over nonsense mostly.

He was trying to clean up trash the neighbors had left in their yard. His being in their yard made them angry, so they told Dad to leave. Dad in his completely insane mind thought that the best retaliation would be to get his chainsaw and come back to cut all of the trees down around their house.

Dad was totally within his legal right to do this, because he owns all of the property around their house. However, what a maniacal action he chose! He cut down 25 trees...25! What a psycho! He's always been this way though. This is just the latest.

Well, anyway, now his neighbors have a nice view of the highway.
