			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I was convinced by my friends, <a href="http://www.autocosmica.com/" title="Autocosmica">Geoff</a> and <a href="http://www.smithology.org/" title="Smithology">Eric</a>, to drive them to Virginia for <a href="http://magfest.org/" title="Magfest">Magfest</a> last night. I was reluctant at first, but I decided to give in after being promised that <a href="http://www.theadvantageband.com/" title="The Advantage">The Advantage</a> would be performing. Turns out the concert wouldn&#8217;t be until tonight and tomorrow. So instead I spent 20 bucks on a mini-convention for video game geeks that was so-so.</p>
<p>I felt a little weird. I mean, a lot of these guys have <i>some</i> of the same interests as I do; namely video games and perhaps anime. But somehow I just didn&#8217;t feel like I could mesh with a lot of them. I dunno. I guess I&#8217;m still a horrible, judgmental person. A couple of people were actually well dressed (either some cool hoodie and jeans like that)&#8230; but then you see people with sweat pants. SWEAT PANTS. Come on, now. It&#8217;s fine to wear at home, but out in public? OK, here&#8217;s a little dirty secret, but I used to wear sweat pants when I went to public school for one year. GOD, what the hell was I thinking?  <img src='http://www.battlerobo.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif' alt=':oops:' class='wp-smiley' />  Right, enough rambling about that. I shouldn&#8217;t be such a meanie about how the way other people present themselves. (But at least wear deodorant for god&#8217;s sake&#8230; nobody thinks that your B.O. is any type of attractive musk).</p>
<p>Also, I brought back the Library page. No reason for it particular. I just like to keep track of what I&#8217;ve been reading lately is all.</p>
<p>And a few more quick hits:<br />
- Been playing the hell out of <a href="http://starwars.lego.com/en-us/VideoGame/Default.aspx" title="Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga">Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga</a> on Wii. Something about seeing characters like Darth Vader, R2-D2, and Boba Fett as Lego figures is just&#8230; endearing.  <img src='http://www.battlerobo.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' />  <br />
- I saw <a href="http://www.walkhard-movie.com/index.php" title="Walk Hard">Walk Hard</a> a while ago. Not terribly impressed. Perhaps a 4/10.<br />
- I also had seen <a href="http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/nationaltreasure/" title="National Treasure: Book of Secrets">National Treasure: Book of Secrets</a>. I hadn&#8217;t seen the first one, but I thought I&#8217;d give this one a chance. I thought it was good and entertaining! 8/10.<br />
- I&#8217;m intrigued by previews of <a href="http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/" title="Cloverfield">Cloverfield</a>, namely that it&#8217;s presented as a film through peoples&#8217; cameras&#8230; it&#8217;s really exciting, like it really immerses you into it and you&#8217;re experiencing everything they are yourself. And also you can&#8217;t find out anything about what it is that&#8217;s attacking the city. It&#8217;s a very closely guarded secret. But what else can you expect from producer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._J._Abrams" title="J. J. Abrams">J. J. Abrams</a>? He wrote the book on &#8220;wtf is going on&#8221; with his show <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index.html" title="Lost">Lost</a>. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen a really good &#8216;monster movie&#8217; ever&#8230; Godzilla 2000 is the last one I remember seeing, but that was really atrocious. Haven&#8217;t seen a clip yet? Check this out:</p>

<p>Yeah, that looks like it&#8217;ll be crazy.</p>
