general blathering
I rode my my bike to work and home again tonight. Indian summer rocks. The fucking weather jerks (internet and analog) both said rain rain rain. I took my chances and didn't get wet. Oh sure, it rained, but not when I was riding. You weather jerks can suck it.
Had lunch with former comedy partner Rob Blatt today. He's in town from LA to do some wedding planning. It was fun talking to him. We went to The West End which used to be a pretty good place to go for a burger. But they have this $5 cheeseburger deal that they have every day now. I have yet to get it and not get sick cramps later in the day. I tastes good but something about it makes me seriously ill. I should just get the old burger and pay the full, non-crampy price.
Its late and I am up for no good reason. The usual time wasting has happened. Played the nightly quotient of Halo 2. I actually had a pretty entertaining group of clan members tonight. A lot of regulars and some newer dudes as well. I have been fortunate in both clans. I have been in (The form clan: TheCompanyNYC, a team of all improvisors, & now Editable Mesh, a team made of a bunch of easy going dudes (some of which happen to work for Bungie.) I say lucky because for the most part the people in them are not total assholes who inhaibit a great swath of the online, faceless gaming masses. I will say that in the past months or so since the heavy cheat banning started that there has been a slow dwindling of the use of the word n1gg3r and f@gg0t. Where it was once like every 4th word you'd hear it's now relatively rare. Anyway, I have managed to hook up with a group of dudes who are both good and fun to play with. The last clan (TheCompanyNYC) was also home to some good players but they all fell to the addiction of World of Warcraft. I say addiction with no humor. They play constantly. Why can't they be addicted to Halo 2 anymore... like me... I know I know... You want to check out my stats. Well there you go. I have been playing Halo 2 for over a year. I guess thats about a good a testament to the games replay value as you can get.
Work marches onward. We're getting close to the end of the year so people are starting to get crazed and time crunched. Of course that is why I am going to clamp down on the rules! MORE ANXIETY! I actually made a DVD for a guy in the real estate masters program. He is a doctor who also wants to get a degree in real estate and also wants to host a radio show. I made him a DVD copy of his TV show reel. Little clips of his appearances on the news and on talk shows. It was an interesting watch. He saw my headshot that I keep up in the office and promised that if he gets a radio show that he'll have me on for a segment to "Do my thing." If I see that he got a show I will definitely call that favor in.
However I am notoriously bad at calling favors. I once editing a mind numbing video for this photographer. As payment he offered to have big prints made of any of his photos. I had my eye on some kick ass pictures of Steve Martin. I totally flaked on calling that in. I suck.
I think I need to be on anti-depressants. Just for the sexual side effects. On that awesome note I will head off to sleep.
