One of my favorites

Image recently released the complete Scud The Disposable Assassin Trade. I have been a fan of Scud since I first discovered the series on my first trip to San Diego back in 95. The creator recently finished the story so that the complete trade would be complete and I am surprised at how well the overall story holds up.

I watched Starship Troopers 3 Maurauder today. I loved it! Just the right combination of action, camp, violence, irony, sataire, and gratutitous nudity.

Played some PuzzleQuest to keep the 360 off my back.

Going to finish Who Can Save Us Now? Before lights out.

What I was saw last night

I left work early because I was falling asleep at my desk. Ended up taking two separate naps and still getting over 9 hours sleep, which is why there was no daily post.

Felt tired and run down all day.

Watched Eureka and I survived A Japanees Gameshow.

Read comic Wedneday comics.

Played a little FFTA2 and Puzzle Quest.

After

Jim and I were trying to stay ahead of the carpet layers so I did not get a picture with the empty room so you will have to live with one with some of the stuff back.

I am very very tired. Moving heavy stuff when medicated for a cold leads to very tired Paul. Did manage to get TV hung, XBox 360 hooked back up, bed refilled (so comfy), and BBQ on deck. It is beginning to fill like home again.

Watched The Queen on my Touch while waiting on the carpet dudes. Interesting movie about a fairly recent event that I did not know much about.

Watched The Middleman and Wipeout.

Played some FFTA2 and PuzzleQuest Expansion. Also tried the Geometry Wars 2 Demo. I will probably buy the full game but I will never be any good at that game I am just too old!!

Still reading Who Can Save Us Now? Only one story to go so I will probably finish up tomorrow.

Before...

Tomorrow begins the last and most expensive stage of the remodel. This should be my last night with the crappy carpet that came with this place. I hope I like the new carpet on the floor as much as I did at the store.

Left work early to prep for the carpet install. Jim D came over and help with the heavy stuff which was good because my ass is being kick by this crud again. It is like every other day I feel like crap.

Watch last nights Venture Bros and Mad Men. This weeks Mad Men was entertaining unlike last weeks.

Still reading Who Can Save Us Now? I have been not reading much so it has been a slow go but I would recommend this book to any one that likes independent super hero stories. They are just off kilter enough that they would not work in a mainstream universe.

No Photo Today

To busy getting shit done...

Or maybe I forgot and I am too lazy to get out of bed...

Finished getting the upstairs/downstairs ethernet connection pulled. Touch up painted the trim. Moved some stuff for Carpet Day. Hung the TV support for mounting of TV after carpet install.

Watched some more Dinosaurs on DVD and the last part of the 1st season of Nip/Tuck on DVD. Watched The Mist. Great Movie!! Watched all of the current episode of BloodCopy and the first episode of 30 Days on Night: Dust to Dust onDemand. onDemand occasionally has things that make me think twice about giving up the piece of shit cable box...

Going to read some Who Can Save Us Now? And get some sleep.

Go Go Godzilla

Picture of the one of the few things I bought for my self in San Diego.

Desided that I need to take a no medicine sick day and just let the cold kick my ass for the day. I have had good success with this statagy in the past.

Cleaned out both DVRs. Finished up American Dad and watched Heatstroke and watched the latest Psych and Weeds. Then I watched WarGames and Triping the Rift The Movie. WarGames really holds up well while TtRTM was crap I liked the TV show much beter.

Ow!

Was feeling tons better today but at about 8 pm got a stuffed ear. I took some decongestant which usually helps but no long this time. No plugged nose but ear still plugged. I tried gum and yawning with no luck as well. I tried a hot shower (as scene on the internet) and that help a bit. It is really nice to have radient floor heat with water. I don't think I have ever been anywhere that I could take 30 minute showers without any temp decrease. Kick ass my ear just popped!!!

Was taunted by the empty JLU pegs again. They did have some more of the Crisis figures though.

Picked up the trim paint today. Baring lazyness sickness or better plans should have that done tommorow.

Watched Last Comic Standing, Burn Notice, Doctor Who and Stargate Atlantis.

Got the con swag from Jim and spent the evening sorting. A lots of stuff but not as much as I remembered.
