Just checking in

Sorry this blog has been slow lately. I arrived at my first duty station last Thursday (Mountain Home AFB, Idaho…middle of nowhere lol) and have been inprocessing and settling in.

I beat Mass Effect 3 last weekend. It was pretty good, the ending didn’t bother me that much. It was sad, but I think it ended well enough.

I’ve been playing a bit of Civilization V and Modern Warfare 3, but I’ve also started to get back into Halo. I’m going to try to beat Halo CE Anniversary Edition this weekend, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ve also been enjoying Sketch with Friends and Draw Something on my Kindle Fire, but I think I’m going to need to pick up a stylus to draw better.

I finished season one of Breaking Bad and am on episode 2 of season 2 and I’ve been enjoying that, it’s a really great show. I’ve also been catching up on Red vs Blue, starting with season 8, in preparation for season 10 once that starts up. Can’t wait for that, especially since Elijah Wood will be voicing a character in the series now.

So again, sorry for the sparse updates. I hope to blog more regularly sooner or later, that is if I have any free time, I’m sensing I’ll have very little with this job.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by.

Alcatraz

It looks like FOX has another hit show in their hands with Alcatraz. I just watched the pilot episode on Hulu and it blew me away. It looks great, it sounds great and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The actors in the show perform wonderfully, including the fan favorite “Hurley” from LOST who is a main character on the show. The music adds to the suspense and atmosphere perfectly and the storytelling and pacing are just right.

The show reminds me of Fringe with its sort of sci-fi crime thriller / mystery theme which can only be a good thing.

Can’t wait to see where the show goes next. In the words of Dr. Soto (Jorge Garcia aka “Hurley”) “Is anyone else’s head exploding?”
