I made the mistake of watching Batman vs. Dracula on DVD last night, following it up with some time playing a game called Sacred. Much of the game time was spent wandering the desert, killing – or rather, re-killing – a horde of skeletons, zombies, mummies, litches<\/span>, etc. I ended up with a whole inventory of skulls that I later traded for gold. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Apparently, the combination of the DVD and the game was more intense than I expected – I was actually a little nervous turning out the light to go to sleep last night. And yes, I’m almost 37. Bite me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I woke up several times in the night and ended up having some really disturbing dreams. Ummm<\/span>… Happy Holidays, anyone?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m digging the game, and kicking some serious butt with a Daemon that I’ve named Atropa<\/span>. Atropa<\/span> is a bad-ass and she knows it – always spouting off about how all the other creatures are weaklings and how her blade will drip with their blood. These pronouncements are random – she announced that she was looking forward to the blood and mayhem after being asked by an NPC<\/span> to go and find their favorite shirt. Yes, some of the quests are really that bad. But, you get to kill dragons – so, that’s cool.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Atropa<\/span> had one really good line recently. “There’s no point in running, you’ll just die tired!” On one level, it’s the Daemon just being a bad-ass. On another level… well, I may be reading too much into this, but perhaps it’s a reminder to slow down and appreciate life. We all have to go in the end.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other news… watched a couple of movies over the weekend. On pay-per-view – “Drag me to hell”. It was over-the-top, jump out at you, gross\/scary. Predictable and more than a little silly – it was still fun. Except for the vomiting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Went and saw Avatar in 3D. Really good film, great effects, cool 3D, good acting – very sad story. The 3D gave me a bit of a headache over time – even with the pre<\/span>-movie Motrin – but it was worth it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally, from the “I’m an idiot” files – I bought the same book twice. It was highlighted on a blog I follow and I read the first chapter online, then considering buying it. I thought about waiting and adding it to my birthday list, but then apparently decided to go ahead and get it. Unfortunately, it was in a bag with some supplies for a project I put off – and then forgot about. I then read a bit more about the book and the next time I put in an amazon order, I ordered it. It came in, I cleaned out my project bag – and realized I had two copies. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Still haven’t read it. Hope it’s good.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Right now, I’m listening to More Shine by Si*Se http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sise<\/a> – good stuff there.<\/div>\n
