Long time no blog. Most of the time I amp up to write a new blog, I feel like it has been too long an interval between the two. Maybe I will make it a first quarter resolution to get in the habit of writing more in here. I keep a booklet of quotes I really enjoy from books I read, but that hardly fills the void of this computated diarrhea.
Still at Trader Joe’s but fingers crossed for other opportunities. Maybe that is what is at the top of a mountain; opportunity. For what though, who could say? It would be nice to have a set schedule. That would make it much easier to do various activities. I would like to get into some sort of outside sport or activity. I suggested to some friends of getting into Ju-Jitsu (again) and they seemed interested. It would be fun as well as a way to get in better shape.
Kim is in Ireland momentarily which is just making me miss her and our fun travels. I love going on adventures with her because it always seems so care free and spontaneous. I’m sure they are having a blast over there though.
I have been catching up on reading which always makes me happy and excited. I recently have finished the first book in The Hunger Games trilogy, Damned by Chuck Palahniuk, and Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer. I enjoyed The Hunger Games and am currently reading the second book, but I sort of lost steam/interest in it, but Kim is insisting I continue and I trust her opinion so on I go. It just made me want to re-watch Battle Royale and read that book. Damned started out kind of…meh…but the more I read, the better it got. It’s not up there with his earlier stuff, but it’s a step up from Tell-All and Snuff. Tree of Codes was very unique not only in the story, but the layout as well.
I also read The Passage, which I really enjoyed. With the current Vampire trend, it took me some convincing to pursue this book. The positive reviews from Stephen King and NPR pushed me over the edge and I jumped in with both feet. I’m glad I did too because it was really well written and had a fun and unique take on Vampires. I was also happy to find out that it is the first book in a planned trilogy (the second book being released in October).
Kim, Ed, and I took part in a real escape game a few weeks back in the city. It was called Escape From Werewolf Village and consisted of about 15 tables with 6 people at each table and a bunch of puzzles and mind-bending riddles to figure out who the werewolves were and how to “escape”. It was a lot of fun even though we barely scratched the surface. I feel like if we had played an escape game before we might have had a chance at getting a quarter of the way done. After the game, we saw a film called Sound of Noise. It was incredibly entertaining, funny, and refreshing.
Can not wait to see this gentleman on April 19th. It will be phenomenal. Also, The Revival Tour is on April 21st which is also exciting. Chuck Ragan + Dan Andriano + Tom Gabel = yes please. The rest is icing on the cake.
