Excitement!

I’m excited, and many of you probably already know why. Lisa comes back in a little over 6 days – that’s less than a week! I talked with her on Skype last night and the next time I talk with her we will be face-to-face and I can’t wait. I’ve waited a little over 2 months now and this is the home-stretch.

I picked up an interesting movie yesterday called ‘Kataude mashin gâru’ (The Machine Girl). No, this is not a weird, sleazy porn – come on guys, get your heads out of the gutter – but instead a very tacky, campy, gore-fest from Japan. See, I was watching popSiren (a show on the Revision3 internet TV network) and ‘Kataude mashin gâru’ was their movie pick of the week. Once I saw the trailer I knew I had to own it and, lucky for me, my local Best Buy had it in stock.

In other news, I recently paid $9.95 and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to version 2.0. With this update I got the mail, notes, stocks, weather, and maps applications as well as the app store to download and install additional content. This was well worth my $9.95 because I got this remote application that makes my iPod Touch a remote for my iTunes library and that alone was with the update for me. I know, I know, I’m very easily amused.

Microsoft announced a new dashboard for the 360 last week at E3. It uses an avatar system that looks pretty neat. Not only did are they changing the look and feel of the dashboard, but they are also adding support for Netflix. Now that might actually give me reason to pay for Netflix – we will have to see how well it works this fall when the update goes live.

I got my own copy of Wii fit this week. I happened to be at work and on break when the truck brought 12 Wii Fits with it to my Best Buy store. The 12 were gone in a matter of minutes but not before I was able to purchase one for myself! Now I have a balance board for the newest, coolest, most cutting edge games. In regards to the Wii Fit game, we will have to see if I lose any weight. I will try to chronicle my adventures on this blog when I decide to actually start.
