The Holtonian

Work this week has been crazy. I actually had to stay past 4:45 last night, it was intense. I went home last night and watched 2 towers, all 8 hours of it. Seriously that movie is too dang long. It was good though. I didn't like it the first time around but watching in again I got a better feel for the story and although I hate hate hate what they did to Boromir's brother by making him try to take the ring and that whole side trip to Minas Tirith, I think other parts really made up for it. Really most of the frodo parts I can't stand but thats more my bias against Elijah Wood and the way everything he says comes out melo dramatically.
Tonight i went out and did some christmas shopping. I got the wifey almost taken care of, just one more thing ought to do it. I unfortunately bought more stuff for myself. It was stuff I felt I couldn't do without though, even though thats not true at all. I bought the new U2 Dvd Live at Slane Castle. For those U2 dorks they know this is a Dvd that fans signed a petition that U2 release because it apparently is that awesome. It apparently is real charged and has a lot of historical ireland undertones. Go to Rob's site if you want to ask the expert. I won't be able to watch it for a few nights though, Wifey is watching the Crapelor or that is the Bachelor tonight. I also went to the used video game store, i knew i shouldn't have but I couldn't resist. I saw an item there a few weeks ago when i was looking for christmas presents for my brother. The Nintendo 64 version of Zelda for gamecube. I loved the N64 version and alas i had to sell my 64 to get the gamecube so Its kind of like i bought my favorite game on the old system for the new one. It was cheap and you can't find it in the stores so i figure it was worth it, except the fact that lousy crabby has my gamecube. I reemphasize the fact that PS2 is lame. Well i was going to write more but i got a phone call from an old friend and its now too late for tv.
