I hate being sick. I hate the lethargy, the sneezing, the coughing, and just feeling crappy. It's terrible. Add in how much work I got going on right now, and you can guess how happy my life is today.But there are some good things. For instance, this weekend I watched King of Kong, a documentary about one man's quest to hold the world record for the high score in Donkey Kong. If you're a gamer the movie somehow legitimizes your own fascination with the medium, but I think non-gamers would enjoy it as well because it's a very intriguing story of a nice guy facing a bully. The bully in this situation is a guy named Billy Mitchell, who runs a few restaurants in Hollywood, Florida, and spends the entire movie acting like he's somehow amazing because he has got high scores on Donkey Kong. As a gamer myself I know I have occasionally gloated over dumb things, but if you see the movie you'll see not the worst video gamer, but the worst person. I give the movie four-stars and recommend checking it out.
I read an entire article today about how bloggers need to involve their readers in ways...like by proposing questions. So I've got one for you. First the situation:
After the Good Neighbor Policy played Friday night a girl told me how she really liked the band and wished she had their cd, which I happened to have. The next morning while on my way to get my car I stopped by where she works and gave the cd to her because I no longer need a real copy.A few friends say that's a very nice gesture that stands out as a kind, memorable act. One went as far as to say it was a bold, and smooth move (oddly enough this is the same description given to Miller Genuine Draft, which has me doubting the sincerity of the statement). I mostly brought her the cd because I was trying to be nice, but regardless of that, my question to you fine reader is whether or not bringing someone a cd – kind of at random – is smooth, stupid, or creepy?
That's all I got today. This cold has me floored.
