I picked up the weekly comics this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find that World War III was in the stack. For the uninformed, WW3 is a DC book that chronicles the crazy shit Black Adam is doing to the planet while he\u2019s on his insane killing spree thanks to the events in 52. It was a four-issue mini-series and I enjoyed it immensely. I think this is also the very last week of 52, and I\u2019m going to be very happy to jump into Countdown after.<\/p>\n
I also got the latest issue of Fantastic Four. All I can say is I\u2019m so happy to see the Surfer back in action. I know Marvel is really bringing him to the forefront because of the FF movie this summer, and I\u2019m as happy as a pig in shit. The fact that Michael Turner did the cover this month helps tremendously.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019ve been playing the Wii on and off lately and this weekend I picked up a used copy of FarCry: Vengance. I\u2019m playing it and am enjoying the unique control scheme. I\u2019ll probably finish the game within a week or two and will write a review for it when I put it in the Digital Archive. Speaking of the DA, I haven\u2019t started a Wii section yet, but that will be forthcoming. So, since FarCry was so cheap ($17 at EB Games), I also bought The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess and got the strategy guide for it as well. I haven\u2019t opened the game yet, as I\u2019ve promised myself I will not start playing a new Wii game until I\u2019ve finished the prior one. Zelda will have to wait.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been doing a lot of digital testing on the new SCS project. I\u2019m very happy with the results so far and I should have something to show for the work this week by Saturday.<\/p>\n
I called my car insurance company today to ask where my insurance check was. On Friday the dealership said the car would be ready by Wednesday, so I was hoping I wouldn\u2019t have to foot the entire $10,000 repair bill and then get reimbursed. I\u2019ve never had to deal with this kind of stuff before, so what do I know? Anyway, the guy handling my claim said he was never informed of the fact that the car was NOT being totaled and that the dealership was fixing it. I said to him \u201cconsider this your notice\u201d. He called the dealership and told them that I would pay my $1,000 deductible when I picked up the car and the insurance company would then send the remainder of the money directly to them. He did all this while I was on hold for about five minutes, so that was nice to get it taken care of so quickly, considering all the shit I\u2019ve had to put up with on this car. So, I got off the phone with him and called the dealership to find out exactly when the car\u2019s gonna be done and they\u2019ve pushed it back to Friday, which actually works out better because I won\u2019t have the money in the bank to pay them until Thursday anyway.<\/p>\n
I will be working some crazy hours at the office over the next couple of days, so please forgive me if I don\u2019t communicate much. I will be hitting the hay tonight to get up at 4:00am so I can be at work by 6:00am (one hour drive, remember?). I need to upgrade some phone equipment. Then, Thursday night I may be at the office all night, well into the wee hours of the morning assisting in a software upgrade on the same phone equipment.<\/p>\n
I think I\u2019m going to log off now and watch A Clockwork Orange, as I\u2019ve never seen it all the way through and I\u2019ve had it sitting here in my living room since January (damn, I love NetFlix).<\/p>\n
