i'm not a gamer. i enjoy games but i'm not that interested in too many of them. i've had my Playstation 2 for 4 years and right now i only own grand theft auto - vice city and two Wipeout games. but last december i got a big-ass computer and a couple of friends of mine do play games on their pc's so i thought i'd give them a try at some point. this one friend lent me Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow, hacked from the XBox version. i was finally able to install it on my computer without having to copy the dvd. i played a little today and i'm slowly getting into it. if i enjoy it i'll check out other games. friday night after work i picked up the ex so she could spend the night. we wanted to get out saturday and do some walking because the weather has been outstanding lately. but when we got up saturday morning we had almost no energy. good intentions but no energy. we got out much later than we wanted to but we did end up taking a long walk around my old neighborhood, i showed her the two houses where i grew up. nostalgia kicked in a little. houses sparked memories of old friends and forgotten acquaintances. it was nice. i don't live that far away from where i grew up, only about 10 minutes by car, but this was a thorough walk :) in the evening we settled on watching The Big Lebowski. she'd never heard of it. she found it funny. i never get tired of John Goodman's performance in that film. and John Turturro did an outstanding job with the two minutes he was given. there's a Superbowl on tonight. thought i'd let you know :) myself, i'm not gonna watch it. i never watched an entire superbowl game in my life. no interest. i don't have any rented movies either so i'll probably watch one of my Criterions instead. i keep buying them up but, mostly because they're daunting cult classics, i end up not watching any of 'em. i might watch M tonight. if i can get off my ass this afternoon i'll swing by HMV and pick up the Snow Patrol disc and another one for $25.
