  A new TV for the bedroom...and stuff

  I finally replaced my 27'' Magnavox in my bedroom. This television was nearly 20 years old and had been stuck by lightning in the past. Since it was finally starting to conk out (honestly it has been a damn good TV), I bought a 22'' HD LCD. Nothing amazingly spectacular, but I love it. It has an unbelievably clear picture when compared to the last TV in there. I've been spending most of my free time playing the 360 on it .

  Earlier today I got a haircut. I'm not vane at all when it comes to hair, clothing, or anything really. Usually I have always had my hair buzzed really short, but this time I had not had a haircut since November. I pretty much felt like a douchebag because I haven't done much with it. So today I got it trimmed a bit.

  If I ever get around to it, I'm going to try and write a Bourne Conspiracy review, and maybe an Alone in the Dark one since that game catches a lot of heat when actually I loved it.

  Get Carlos. Trap Carlos. Kill Carlos!

  I finished reading The Bourne Identity today and it was an excellent book. I would even say it is one of the best action/suspense books I've ever read. Robert Ludlum did a great job of writing a novel in 1975 that you could read now and think that the story took place in present day. It revolves around Jason Bourne, an amnesiac who uncovers clues that he is actually a super assassin known as Cain. He finds out the hard way that the world's most enigmatic assassin, Carlos, is gunning for him. I really don't want to go into the story anymore than that because the book is filled with suspense. Ludlum's character is very memorable as Jason is tormented by a past he can remember nothing of, is torn apart by painful flashbacks and phrases, and grows attached to a certain someone. The book is very different from the movie, and I would definitely recommend it to fans of the movies because of that.

  I Hate Spyware...

  At the beginning of this week I started having problems with spyware, viruses and such that my antivirus programs weren't doing much about. Finally when they were picked up by my protection programs, there were over 40 counts of all sorts of viruses. They destroyed all of the links to my C drive, making me think that my C drive was completely gone when that wasn't the case, and when I went to do a system restore it turned out that it had wiped all of my recovery points except for the day I got this spyware. So I gave up on trying to take care of it myself because normally I don't have to wipe my computer clean, but today I had to. So now I'm pretty bummed that I had to start all over because I lost the 3,000 songs I had in iTunes, and I had a lot of pics of good times that are gone. I was an idiot and never thought of backing these pics up on photobucket or something like that, so I guess I learned my lesson there. But not all of the week was bad I guess. I got to page 150 in The Bourne Identity today, and wow what a great series. So far it's a really awesome book.
