Well, it's been a little while since my last blog, but not nearly so long as the gap between that blog and the one before, but a nice bit of time has it been. Still working at Tim Hortons, and for some odd reason.. WE SELL APPLES NOW!!?!?!? Just imagine this scenario:
-"Hi there, I'd like a Large Double Double and a nutritious apple."
Who wants an apple with their coffee? Sometimes two opposites work well, such as toast and chocolate sauce, but a coffee and an apple? Sure it's nutritious, but most people who enter Tim Hortons are after a coffee and donut!
Anyhow, I've started completing graphics for Synergistic Studios, just as I said I was going to. I've so far gotten several sprites done, and I must admit that I am getting much better at making them!
That's skill right there :D
Lately, I've bought several movies, or else my parents have bought. THe most I can remember are Sweeny Todd, Virtuosity, Snatch, and Swordfish.
Sweeny Todd is a very interesting movie starring Johnny Depp. He is the 'demon barber of Fleet Street.' When people come in for a shave, he kills them, and the lady he's living with (his wife IRL) turns them into meat pies. It's a very dark and gory movie.
I couldn't understand the movie Snatch most of the time, since half of them had incomprehensible accents, but there was a very interesting plot underneath once you got past all the cursing.
I really enjoyed Virtuosity, as any geek would. A crazy computer (actor from Gladiator) comes to life and Denzel Washington has to kill him. It is a really fun movie, and quite intriguing.
I've seen Swordfish before on the television, and it's quite spectacular. It's also one of a geek's favourites (main character is the Wolverine from X-Men and is a world-****hacker).
Beyond movies, I'm still playing The Witcher and Team Fortress 2. The Witcher is proving to be a VERY long game (which is a good thing), and Team Fortress 2 always gives some sweet action. In fact, I'm getting a whiff of rocket-jumping-addiction madness coming... must play!!!! Now excuse me as I end this blog early.
