Not writing. Not a word. I know I should be, but I'm not.
Instead I'm dorking around, trying to stay relaxed and enjoy the spring. That means time in the garden, movies, video games, music and copious amounts of junk food.
I bought an Xbox 360 recently and have been playing Halo 3 with a friend. Not that any of this is news, but the gameplay is swell and the art direction is nothing short of stunning. Fabulous concept art here, here and here. It's even older news, but I'll definitely be picking up "The Art of Halo" book as well.
At the top of my play list this week is: the single from the new Brendan Canning release, the new Tokyo Police Club disc, and "Hold On To Yourself" from the new Nick Cave disc.
Went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Friday and was sadly disappointed. Strike that. My expectations weren't very high - I was never the fan that these guys, these guys, this guy, or the fan fiction folks are - but the movie still managed to let me down with it's snore inducing combination of nostalgia, sentimentality, boring chase scenes and WTF plot. Thank god we still have The Dark Knight, Hulk, the Fall, and Hellboy 2 to look forward to.
