sundays have gotten pretty damn formulaic for me lately. they typically involve sleeping way in, not leaving the apartment and refusing to make 10 minutes to bother showering. i passed out at like 4am last night, face down amidst pillows and tivo remotes, only to wake up in my own drool an hour later. got in bed and slept till like 2 something today, thus completing the "i've slept in for the weekend, i can now begin another week" sequence.

been pretty lazy overall the whole weekend. i took friday off, didn't really have too much to show for it, slept in and did some laundry, fucked around. i felt like applebee's friday night, so alayna and i went there, had the obligatory mudslides. even at 7:30pm driving north on 75 to mckinney isn't exactly suggested. saturday we were actually up at 10am to go work out, so we were proud of ourselves for going out for that. we rounded out a "crazy" saturday afternoon by hitting the mall and grocery store. yet again we drove farther than we usually would for a dinner to pick up popeye's over in plano to eat while watching game 1 of the world series. that was decent, but somewhat embarrassingly we both fell asleep (her on the chair, me on the couch) for like 45 minutes right in the middle of it, heh. she eventually woke up in time to see it end, heh.

we were quite the loners this weekend. what the fuck's happened to the rest of ya's? i swear every weekend my buddy list completely shrinks and i'm left wondering if everyone else is in on something i'm not. sunday night comes and everybody and their mother's online.

basically been filling my free time with tv eps and games lately. we just noticed we haven't even been to the theater in 2 months, that's started to make us look kinda bad i guess, heh.

as far as tv, i've been catching up on season 3 family guy eps, went back to some old simpsons and king of the hill eps for nostalgia's sake. my futurama eps don't seem to get deleted quite as fast, it's a decent show but nowhere near as consistently funny. still enjoying curb your enthusiasm eps here and there, as well as cheap seats. i'm also still salvaging one episode of kiss me kate, a great britcom from '98-00 that was showing on pbs for a while. i'm starting to feel a bit guilty for not watching any of the animes i devoted a lot of time to downloading a few months ago, but... still got a few movies i gotta watch, like shrek 2, cowboy bebop, dawn of the dead and trainspotting.

the games i happen to have going at this very second are halo for the PC, beyond good & evil for the PS2 and star fox adventures for the cube. i've got tons of good shit to play on the PS2, but lately i think my plan of gaming in the bedroom isn't working as well as i'd hoped, mainly due to not having as much fun gaming on a 20" tv compared to the 50" that the cube claims. as recommended, beyond good & evil has been good so far, can just be a bit tough on the smaller tv when i'm only half sitting up, heh. the halo single player campaign has still been fun, think i'm almost on level 7 out of 10. for the cube i'm kind of in the mode of going back and getting my money's worth out of my older games before i start buying any more. i had been playing pikmin for a while, but was losing some interest so i went to metroid prime. problem with MP is it's too frustrating to have *that* much fun playing it, so i went to star fox adventures and now i'm having a decent time with that. alayna's official position on that one -- "it looks fun to play, but i don't wanna watch you playing it." prolly couldn't argue there.

as far as the week ahead, not taking any time off this week, so i'll prolly be there still at 4pm on friday unless i really grind the early part of the week. i'd imagine i'll watch 2/3 of each of the WS games this week, so that'll prolly take up the bulk of my evenings. glad i didn't plan to watch that whole cowboys game today, what a waste. no new ER this week, and i'm still a bit behind on survivor. so i guess that leaves lost as my show to look forward to this week.

best'a luck,
justin
