  Usual, generic update

  Hola guys. meleeman here again with a blog about the goings on.

  I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty 4 lately because my Xbox Live Account is still offline for the time being. I picked up some achievments like beating that training thing in under 20 seconds and getting all the intel items, and since then I have been having an absolute blast playing around with the cheats. It's hysterical and awesome. Other news in gaming consists of me buying Super Metroid to play it (for the first time ever!) off the VC soon, but I don't know when yet. Also, since Battlefield Bad Company is less than 20 dollars brand new, I'm definitely getting that like...today, possibly. I'll beat the snot out of the single player and by the time I'm done I might just have XBL back Can't...wait...

  I finished Ender's Game a few days ago. That book was SPECTACULAR. If I didn't have a reading list longer than my leg, I'd pick up the sequels, but that'll have to wait. In the meantime, I finally picked up Generation Kill, seeing as it was next in line. That book is simply outstanding. Hysterically funny, but also very impressively written and, simply, gripping. I'm definitely looking into the show when I'm done, it's supposed to be wonderful.

  I have done much in the way of writing lately, though seeing as I have 5 projects partially completed or not yet started I don't know what I'm waiting for. Patience buddies

  Other than that, meleeman's just been chilling. Mowing a lawn here, vaccuuming there, cleaning a room everywhere, running this way, working out that way...the usual. Only, minus the school thing. It's such a relief...I just wish I was able to go see all those summer blockbusters coming out. I haven't seen Up or Star Trek yet, and there's a bunch more coming out or already out that I'd like to see...but one thing at a time

  Oh, one other interesting thing I've been doing is working out the details of transferring all our old homevideos to DVD. Dad bought the recorder so it's my task to figure it all out, tell dad what we need to buy, and then do all the transferring when we have it (which is why we're going out later today, to buy the DVDs). In exchange for the tedium I'm going to end up putting up with, he's taking me shooting twice, so that'll be sweet. What I hope to do is shoot that USP again and also shoot the P22 as well. Maybe even a revolver? Who knows. I'll keep you posted on that as it rolls around.

  That's all I got. How's life for all you guys? Leave a comment, tell me what's up.

  Until next time, I've been a running-out-of-things-like-this-to-say irmeleeman5995, and that is (certainly) a mouthful to say!

  Ok Foolz, see SUM 41'S album All Killer No Filler, track 8 for today's blog name

  It's that time again! MAN I'm so stoked. Time to work, relax, read, game, write...it's endless! I have a few things planned this summer but more on those when we come to them I guess.

  For you guys, though, I gotta tell you. I'm looking forward to Halo 3ing my butt off this summer. Kyle got the new maps and I'm dying to try them out. The problem was, my XBL account was on his credit card. A few months ago he lost and canceled said credit card, and my XBL account froze. To make a long story short, dad refused to reactivate it with his credit card till summer. So, now that I'm done, I'm gonna talk to him about it soon and get back into the beauty that is Halo 3.

  So, E3.

  Halo Reach? I think it's gotta be Peter Jackson's secret project. It's gotta be. My predictions? FPS where you play as a/multiple Spartan(s) during the battle and possibly the aftermath of Reach. Whatever it is, though, I can't wait. Unbelieveably stoked.

  ODST. I was excited, now I'm beside myself. I can't wait.

  ACII. YAYYYYYYYYY

  Modern Warfare 2. YAYYYYYY

  Spinter Cell looks fabulous and I can't wait to see what they're doing with it.

  Metroid...Team Ninja? Really? Interesting though. I've been wanting a 3rd person Metroid for a long time. Plus, Samus talks? And is suitless for as much of the trailer as she is not? Story elements seem to prevail in this Metroid And Adammm!!!! Sweet. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

  Other Nintendo stuff looks good. Both new Zeldas have me excited, as do the Marios and some other stuff.

  Project Natal. Looks stupid. The Wii was good because it didn't cross bounds. It knew its place as a video game. If I wanted VR I'd go to an arcade. The whole thing looks like it could be cool but will not be, will be overly simplistic and gimicky, and will be rougher around the edges in terms of usability than anything in my wildest dreams. And honestly, if it works, and it's cool, and I like it, fine. But I'm not getting my hopes up and I don't really care whether it does its thing or not.

  That was all my commentary in a flash. I'll be back in the near future for you cats.

  Like the last time I did this, I will fill you all in...the title is "Summer".

  Until next time, I've been a free and liberated irmeleeman5995, and I'll be back!

  So...I'm back

  Yeah...yeah...meleeman's back...

  Sorry I kinda vanished for...four months And sorry for not really saying anything, especially to you all at TWL who were kind of counting on me to do stuff. Before I knew what was happening, I was getting busier and busier, then starting AP exams, then a term paper, and now the rest of the exams are up in a week and I'll be studying for those...but I had a second to sit down and write this little note saying

  (Lewis Black voice) "He's BACK!!"

  Don't worry...heh, I just saw Terminator Salvation, which was really good...I was just about to say "I'll be back" which is why I thought that. Anyways, yeah. In the meantime, if you're curious what I've been up to lately, you might be interested to read this:

  Until next time, I've been an M4 toting irmeleeman5995, and that's a mouthful to say!
